In this episode, we discuss the new edited volume, Islamic Scholarship in Africa: New Directions and Global Contexts, with its editor, Professor Ousmane Kane, and his colleague, Dr. Ebrima Sall, who wrote the conclusion. This volume is the product of two conferences convened at Harvard by Professor Kane in 2017 on "Texts, Knowledge, and Practice: The Meaning of Scholarship in Muslim Africa" and "New Directions in the Study of Islamic Scholarship in Africa" that brought together scholars of diverse disciplines from around the world to explore the understudied tradition of Arabo-Islamic scholarship in Africa. Professor Kane and Dr. Sall talk about what led them to want to bridge the divides between different knowledge traditions and comment on the contributions of 19 scholars to this volume on themes that include Islamic scholarly networks, textuality and orality in Islamic scholarship, the transformation of Islamic education in Africa, and the role of 'Ajami and Sufism in the transmission of Islamic knowledge in the region. Ousmane Kane is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Professor of Islamic Religion and Society at Harvard Divinity School and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.Ebrima Sall is the executive director of Trust Africa and former executive secretary of the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA).

In 1937, Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, travelling to Mecca to make his first hajj, encountered Egyptian scholars who couldn't fathom that Niasse's erudition was a product of his fully Senegalese education. For those learned Egyptians of the 1930s and, Kane argues, modern-day Europhone academics, Islamic erudition among Black Africans remains a major blind spot. Islamic Scholarship in Africa: New Directions and Global Contexts, edited by Ousmane Oumar Kane, presents a state-of-the-art volume that seeks to pulverize that blind spot. Authors underscore the contributions of Black Muslim scholars to Islamic knowledge, the global connections that have long tied sub-Saharan Africa to the global Islamic world, the ways that orality and textuality interact with each other historically and up through to the social media age, in addition to exploring debates around education, spirituality, and Ajami. In the interview, we discuss Kane's scholarly journey and the greater intellectual project of bridging the knowledge divide separating “Europhone” and “non-Europhone” scholars in the study of Islam in Africa.

The Berkeley-based Islamic Scholarship Fund seeks to increase American Muslim representation in media, policy, and film. Since 2009, they've awarded $1.5 million in the form of undergraduate/postgraduate/law scholarships as well as film grants, Congressional internships, and fellowships. We sat down with their program manager, Omar Elsayed, to discuss the organization, representation, and how to sleep better at night. Focusing on sectors likely to impact public opinion the most, ISF's mission is to combat Islamophobia and promote equality. What started as a mere scholarship fund now tracks whether recipients go on to have impactful careers in the same subjects. The growing organization provides mentorship, education, networking, etc. to support these scholars, who in turn give back to the community—in essence an orbit of change makers gaining infinite momentum. Omar has faced Islamophobia throughout his life and feels blessed that his personal and professional missions align. With hindsight and a bit of dark humor, he relays an early incident when a bully accused him of being a terrorist and channeling his inner gamer in a retort. He volunteers his nerdy adolescent fantasy of being a hero bringing justice to the world and angsty teenage tendency to lie awake cringing about both grievances and self-doubt (we can relate). These days he sleeps well, in part because of that early lesson that hateful behavior is learned and not personal. He asks how religious we can get [as much as you like, Omar] and shares a favorite story of the Prophet and forgiveness. He asks how personal can we get [very!] and says he now tries to understand and love the bully, whether that's seventh-grade Stephen or a Trump supporter. We ponder whether it's worse to wrong someone in Islam than other religions, and touch on the “uncle mentality.” We celebrate how memories of grown men gathering to drink tea, smoke, and collectively complain can incite equal & opposite reactions, and consider anew how advocacy in a systemic, institutional way may effect more and lasting change (hereafter known as the long game of social justice). Students interested in ISF scholarships can find the latest info here (deadline: 4/5/21). Omar remains fiercely private but encourages you to check out some of the amazing recipients: CNN Digital journalist Alaa Elassar; filmmaker and past AMP guest Razi Jafri; Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, Omar Shakir; Rashida Tlaib's Legislative Fellow, Mustafa Alemi; Emmy-award-winning Justin Mashouf and his latest documentary, The Honest Struggle. Finally, he reminds us of some recent positive media coverage about Muslims. American Muslim Project is a production of Rifelion, LLC.

Approaching Islamic scholarship is something that is dwindling among young Muslims. Many young people are unable to truly find answers to the questions they have on the faith. On this episode, we explore Sajid Ibrahimee's journey in Islamic Scholarship, his experience with Muslims on TikTok and providing more young Muslims access to the religion. Originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey - Sajid Ibrahimee began his journey studying Hifz (Qur'an Memorization) at Darul Uloom New York and is currently in his final year of the Alimiyyah Program at Qalam Institute (an Islamic seminary) in Dallas, Texas. Sajid also studied Qira'at (Qur'anic Recitations) formally under the late Mufti Mohamed-Umer Esmail (ra) of Austin. ⁣ He formerly served as the Imam of Colleyville Masjid at just 16 years old and recently gained a considerable amount of followers on TikTok as a religious figure for Gen Z Muslims across the world.

The recent massacre in New Zealand has not only highlighted current antagonisms surrounding nationalism, immigration, Islam, Western identity, and race, but it also reaches far back to the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, as identified in the shooter's manifesto. Sheikh Imran Hosein, author of over a dozen books mainly dealing with Islamic Eschatology, a field of study which he founded, is uniquely qualified to provide deep insight into all these phenomenon.This amazing conversation is incredibly wide-ranging and iconoclastic.We talk about New Zealand, Islam, Russia, China, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the US, Christianity, Hinduism and much more. It is an amazing, paradigm-shifting interview.Some of the specific issues discussed are:- his firing as Prinicpal of an Islamic Institute in Pakistan due to his refusal to declare Shi'a as non-Muslims- why he regards Sufism is the very heart of Islam, as opposed to literalism and fundamentalism- his opposition to sectarianism of all sorts - comparing the schisms between Eastern and Western Christianity, Catholicism and Protestantism, and Sunni and Shia - Understanding the rise of Russia in this context- his move from the study of International Relations and working in the Foreign Service to global Islamic Scholarship- his founding of Islamic Eschatology- how the Ottoman Empire sabotaged the relationship between Christianity and Islam, through oppression and aggression, and the desecration of the Hagia Sophia - How the New Zealand shooter is explicitly linked to this- Sheikh Hosein's admiration for those who defended Constantinople- why the Mughal rule over India was oppressive and how this sabotaged the relationship between Hinduism and Islam- why the Saudis do not represent Islam- China's role in history and the nature of its alliance with Russia- the madness of the present Turkish government in wanting to re-establish the oppressive Ottoman Empire- the Turkish role in overthrowing Gaddafi in Libya and supporting ISIS- why Trinidad (his homeland) has been one of the biggest exporters of ISIS fighters, on a per capita basis- the problem of "Protestant Islam" This is a profoundly important conversation that deserves the widest audience possible.Please like, share, rate, and review this episode and this podcast in general.

I'm a type a person that has strong African views and I feel like that is help me gain a lot of self-confidence and love for who I am and my people.
