Years: 1876 - 1887
The Mahdiyyah (Mahdist regime) imposes traditional Islamic laws.
Sudan's new ruler also authorizes the burning of lists of pedigrees and books on law and theology because of their links to the old order.
The Mahdiyyah is known as the first genuine Sudanese nationalist government.
The Mahdi maintains that his movement is not a religious order that can be accepted or rejected at will but rather a universal regime that challenges man to join or to be destroyed.
The Mahdi also persuades his followers that loyalty to him is essential to true Islamic belief.
Moreover, service in the jihad replaces the hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, as a duty incumbent on the faithful.
Amsgiving becomes the tax paid to the state.
The Mahdi justified his policies by claiming he has received instructions from God in visions.
