Note 66 — Chapter XI · THE SPREAD OF ISLAM IN AFRICA.
Reading edition
In 1895 Sīdī al-Mahdī, the son and successor of Sīdī Muḥammad al-Sanūsī, migrated to Kufra, as being more central than Jag͟habūb (Muḥammad b. ʻUt͟hmān al-Ḥashāʼishī, pp. 111–15), but later went further south to the region of Borku and Tibesti, where he died in 1902. The head of the order in 1908 was Sīdī Aḥmad, a relative of the founder. (J. C. E. Falls: Drei Jahre in der Libyschen Wüste, p. 274.) (Freiburg, 1911.) ↑
