Years: 1876 - 1887
Muhammad Ahmad's sermons attract an increasing number of followers.
Among them is Abdullah ibn Muhammad, a Baqqara from southern Darfur, whose planning capabilities are to prove of great value.
Muhammad Ahmad reveals himself as al-Mahdi al-Muntazar ("the awaited guide in the right path," usually seen as the Mahdi), sent from God to redeem the faithful and prepare the way for the second coming of the Prophet 'Isa (Jesus).
The Mahdist movement that he founds demanded a return to the simplicity of early Islam, abstention from alcohol and tobacco, and the strict seclusion of women.
