Sudan is a Muslim-majority country with approximately 91 percent of the population identifying as Muslim, predominantly Sunni of the Maliki school with a strong and historically influential Sufi presence including the Tijaniyya, Qadiriyya, Shadhiliyya, Sammaniyya, and Khatmiyya orders. The Khatmiyya order, founded in the early nineteenth century by Muhammad Uthman al-Mirghani, has been historically central to Sudanese politics and society. The country has a deep Islamic scholarly tradition. The Mahdi's Tomb in Omdurman, the burial place of Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi (1844–1885) who led the Mahdist revolt against the Turco-Egyptian and British colonial administrations and established the Mahdist State (1885–1898), is among the most significant historical Islamic sites in the country. The Hamed al-Nil Tomb and Mosque in Omdurman is the famous site of the Friday afternoon Sammaniyya Sufi dhikr ceremony. The Grand Mosque of Khartoum is the principal urban congregational center. The Sudanese Islamic Council and the Sufi Tariqa councils coordinate religious life. eSalah uses the MWL default; the Egyptian method is offered as a regionally-tested alternate.
