Mudrik Ali Al-Burushi and his role in political life

His father wanted him to marry, so he married his first wife, his cousin Zainab bint Ahmed bin Khalil Al-Burushi, in 1920 AD (31). Al-Burushi's mother's father was appointed to the Fatwa Department at Gordon College in 1923. He was appointed a judicial agent for the Sharia Court of Wad Madani, then a judge for the registrations of the Blue Nile Province (32). The British government had decided that his work would be in Wad Madani due to his political activity. His work there was almost an exile. His service began on January 25, 1924, and he remained in Madani for fourteen years (33). Mudathir Al-Burushi was keen not to work in government service, but he finally agreed after the government stipulated several conditions for him, and after he also stipulated a number of conditions for the government. Among his conditions to the government: 1. The government shall not interfere in his beliefs and principles. 2. He shall only be held accountable for his work, not for his political activity or what is rumored about him in that regard. 3. His direct superior shall be the Judicial Secretary. The government, in turn, stipulated: 1. He shall not form an association against the government. 2. He shall not address the public with the intention of inciting and calling for the people. If he thought of leaving the state's service, he should mention it. This agreement between him and the government prevented him from being involved with the government during the 1924 revolution until it was issued (34). As part of his work in the judicial service, Mudathir Al-Burushi was transferred to the city of Rashad in the Nuba Mountains in 1937. He spent two years there, during which he sought to thwart the government's efforts and its anti-Islamic endeavors in that region. He was succeeded in this matter by the Islamic preacher Muhammad Al-Amin Al-Qurashi (35). The British government had decided to transfer him before his travel to Rashad to a region where he had no influence, especially with the increase in his activity, which became more evident after he formed the Literary Society in Wad Madani (36). In 1939, he was transferred to Birer, where he spent several months. When World War II broke out, he was transferred to Rufaa and worked there for four years. He was then transferred to Umm Rawaba in 1943, where he spent another four years until 1947. He was then transferred to the city of Kassala. Before he arrived there to implement the transfer decision, he was summoned.
