Sufi and Scholar on the Desert Edge discusses the history of the Sanusiyya in the first fifteen years of its existence, until the death of the founder Muhammad b.
Focusing on the intellectual history of al-Sanusi, it presents him in the continuation of an intellectual tradition of Sufism and Islamic science that dominated the centres of his education, Fez and Mecca, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
In spite of this, the book does contain a welcome addition of quantitative data for a region where such data is not ubiquitous.

 Bang: Present
There are many similarities between the Sanusiyya of North Africa and the Idrisi state of 'Asir.
The Sanusiyya was a highly organised, hierarchical religious order before it turned into a resistance movement; before the organisation took on political functions.
Consequently, Idrisi activism in early twentieth-century 'Asir was not a case where an already established religious order took up resistance against the Ottomans, instead the movement was formed there and then, in the course of approximately five years (1907-12).

Perhaps as a result of prolonged contact with West African Muslim traders and pilgrims, most Chadian Muslims identify with the Tijaniyya order, but the brotherhood has not served as a rallying point for unified action.
Similarly, the Sanusiyya, a brotherhood founded in Libya in the mid-nineteenth century, enjoyed substantial economic and political influence in the Lake Chad Basin around 1900.
Despite French fears of an Islamic revival movement led by "Sanusi fanatics," Chadian adherents, limited to the Awlad Sulayman Arabs and the Toubou of eastern Tibesti, have never been numerous.

 Conversation with Aziz Al-Azmeh on Islamism and Modernism Part I
Mahdism was the revolt of slave-trading clans led by a holy family of sufis whose territories were being encroached upon by British expansion and anti-slavery policies - policies whose aims were more than humanistic, being designed to remove the economic bases of their influence.
The Sanusiyya movement in Libya was also constructed around the network of Trans-Saharan trade routes which, at the same time as the Mahdists, were being rendered obsolete.
Modern movements owe their genesis to other factors.
