It was an absolute joy hosting a guest who has been a supporter of The Scholar and The Student since its conceptual stages.
Welcome Sheikh Ali Abdallah Mwimbe, Imam of Kanye to the show! The conversation centred around issues we both noted to be of importance in Botswana, such as the role of culture, casting away the cult-like mentality, the journey of a person of knowledge as well as a civil war that almost broke out in the Muslim community over KFC (yes that's a REAL issue!).
Sheikh Ali Abdallah Mwimbe is a resident of Botswana who finished his memorization of the Qur’an and ‘Alim course in Darul Uloom Zakariyya, South Africa. Shaykh Ali is the head Imam and evening Maktab teacher at and a high school Islamic Studies teacher at Forest Hill English Medium School. He is also pursuing his Bachelors of Education at the University of South Africa.
Sheikh Ali currently works as a T.A. for Lubab Academy, and also conducts various short courses.
