Muhammad Ahmad ibn ʿAbdallah
Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah was a Nubian Sufi religious leader of the Samaniyya order in Sudan who, as a youth, studied Sunni Islam. On 29 June 1881, he was proclaimed the first Mahdi of the three. He led a successful war against Ottoman-Egyptian military rule and achieved a remarkable victory over the British, in the Siege of Khartoum. He then created a vast Islamic state extending from the Red Sea to Central Africa and founded a movement that remained influential in Sudan a century later.
