The 145th edition of the Seydina Limamou Laye Call takes place in Dakar, Senegal, on January 30–31.

Born in 1843 in Yoff, Limamou Laye lost both parents young and retreated for three days in silence. He emerged claiming to be God's messenger, a reincarnation of the Prophet Muhammad. Though first mocked, he gained respect from Muslim scholars across Senegal. His growing influence alarmed French colonists, who imprisoned him on Gorée Island. Undeterred, he returned to preach a “pure and sincere” Islam — a legacy still alive today.
