Me very affected Djibril War speaks of Serigne Pape Malick Sy which he describes as a social mediator and a multidimensional educator. An eminent religious guide who used not a whip, but his smile, his angelic voice, his captivating and captivating gaze which calms the nerves to the point of neutralizing all human impulse. Testimonials…
“I am very affected by the death of Serigne Pape Malick Sy. He was more than a marabout for us from the War and Yague family. Like Serigne Cheikh Tidiane Almakhtoum, the late Caliph General of the Tidianas, Serigne Pape Malick Sy was a father to us. He accompanied Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane who came to see my father in Ouagou Niayes, here in Dakar with Elhadji Mansour Mbaye. During his whole life, Serigne Pape Malick Sy officiated and presided over all our events and other family ceremonies: weddings, baptisms, deaths, gamous, family conflicts etc. The latest was the death of our brother-in-law Oumar Ndoye, husband of my sister Marieme War, whose marriage he had sealed and baptized all his children. The end of his widowhood today coincides with the reminder to God of the Tidian spokesperson. Serigne Pape Malick Sy also came to see me regularly at the National Assembly and prayed for me. During these trips, my office was invaded to the corridor by the members of the staff, his disciples who asked for prayers. During the lifetime of Caliph Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Sy when there was a problem between a person and me, the marabout Serigne Cheikh sent Serigne Pape Malick Sy to calm me down. Because the marabout Serigne Cheikh, his lady mother Sokhna Aida Dème, his brother Pape Malick Sy watched over us like parents who watch over their children. The most recent was during the conflict I had with Moustapha Cisse Lo in the National Assembly. Each time, he reminded me of Serigne Cheikh’s declarations: “An angry lion becomes deaf. You have to give it a “Diatt”, that is to say, bewitch it. There, he was a real tamer who used not the whip, but his unique voice, soft, melodious which penetrated you, put you to sleep and then made you soft like a lamb. You (Editor’s note: your servant) ask me the most beautiful memory? The most beautiful memory that I remember of him, it is the most beautiful moment of my life, it is the homage which he had paid to my late father by taking as witness his illustrious father Serigne Ababacar Sy, the night of last Gamou of Maouloud in the mosque of his father the Holy Man Serigne Ababacar Sy (peace in his soul). It recalled that day when Serigne Pape Malick Sy and his brother the late Khalife Sérigne Abdoul Aziz Al Amine had accompanied Serigne Cheikh Almakhtoum, in heavy rain, to celebrate the baptism of my birth, me Djibril War. With the disappearance of Pope Malick, it is the desolation and the suffering within all my family. It is today that I am really an orphan following the disappearance of an outstanding educator, a multidimensional man. Because Serigne Pape Malick Sy filled the void left by our dear parents. He was not only a social mediator, but an intellectual end coupled with a great pedagogue, who throughout his life, never stopped working for peace and harmony in Senegal. And outside of our country, Pope Malick was a backpacker standard bearer of Islam. In conferences as in the family ceremonies he presided over, Pope Malick had only one theme: the influence of the Tarikha Tidjania which is a spiritual path of Islam that is to say that of the Prophet Mohamed (Psl). So beyond the Islamic Ummah, Senegal has lost a worthy messenger of Islam ”
