I know a man that is translating a 17 volume tafsir of Quran written by Scholar from Ethiopia. I saw that tafsir in the Library of Medina! The man that is translating the tafsir said to me the tafsir is so deep that he often has to stop translating and return to it another day!

[@laythalghaba5035]

Please would you be able to get in touch. I would tremendously like to assist the gentleman in his translation tafsir project.

[@abdulrahmanraheem423]

​@Layth Alghaba yes I do!

[@talibunajat8178]

Translating a 17volume taf seer isn’t wise according to many scholars

[@talibunajat8178]

I’m black myself don’t get me wrong A tafseer of that depth isn’t meant for the common folks. Secondly , instead of that a person should rather learn Arabic than go through a 17volume tafseer. Muslims should learn Arabic and not just rely on translations

[@ahmedopone4080]

Which language is he translating into? Amharic?

[@Jazzgriot]

I love this guy. May Allah Give Him a Great Reward in This World and The Next. Ameen.

[@NabihAlAmin]

Very well said! Our scholarship InshaAllah, will destroy their racist discriminatory practices and narratives fid Dunya and Allah swta will sort them out in the Akhira for their bad practice of the Din.

I really enjoy listening to your reminders.

هو ميل قلبي لكل ما هو فاتح البشرة وليس للانسان دخل فيه لكن على الانسان ان يقاوم هذا التوجه وأن يكون عادلًا في احكامه وتوجهاته. انا اسود سوداني وأذكر مرة كنت اسير في الطريق مع سوداني افتح لوناً مني فاستوقفنا شخصًا يتحدث الانجليزية فقط يسأل عن شئ لا اذكر ما هو فما كان منه الا ان وجه سؤاله الذي افتح بشرة واجمل مني وهو لا يعرف الانجليزية 😅. عندما قامت الحرب الداخلية في السودان توجهت كل المحطات العربية نحوه وهي مازالت مستعرة للان لكن عندما اشتعلت حرب غزة تحولت كل الانظار نحوها رغم ان عدد القتلى في السودان يفوق عددهم في غزة. لا الوم احدا ونحمد الله تعالى انه لم يبتلينا بأمتحان لون البشرة

Appreciate you brother🌹🙏🏾

[@trainingaccount7528]

A lot of deflecting going on in the comments - nice presentation brother

[@sidabd492]

I’m from Sudan I never heard about this Aalim before now when I have seen his Janaza with thousands of people, my curiosity led me to find out about him, what the name of this book?

[@bunyaminhasshim2624]

Beyond bilal

[@mouhamedseck6996]

The book which he's talking about is call " The itineraries of Paradise" (مسا لك الجنان). You can find the written version in Arabic, Wolof, French, and in English.

[@mouhamedseck6996]

I think you must get confused with another one. Because the Sheikh whom he's talking about passed away in 1927, and in that year, there were no cameras and videos (to my knowledge, in Senegal). The book which he's talking about is call " The itineraries of Paradise" (مسا لك الجنان). You can find the written version in Arabic, Wolof, French, and in English.

macha Allah

[@buFFlosouljah1]

They need to come together and tell Allāh that He was wrong about creating us, that's what iven been saying to the people of earth way before I took my Shahada.

[@hasananyabwile3538]

Where can I get the books written by the Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba.

[@thirdeffect]

Also in Wolof. Some of his students speak English and travel to America and the west such as Cheikh Sufi 💚

[@Blackfoot100]

As Salaam Alaakum. You know this sheikh , thrown a rock at a pack of Dogs , The first one howls is the one got hit.

I am moroccan , and I love my black muslim brothers , I do not know what are u talking about.

[@omairraza9213]

You’re speaking your truth. You’re from Morocco and you love your Muslim brothers As a Pakistani living in Canada I have seen racism towards black muslims first hand. It’s unislamic and wrong

[@sidabd492]

اذا تتحدث عن احمد بمبا فهو مبتدع فلماذا نقرأ كتبك

[@baysnyande3579]

What is he talking about. Racism or Quran and Sunnah? As a black man, we should stop playing victims. Going around digging what some racist scholars said about black people ( a tiny minority) . What about the scholars who didn't say anything or said good things about black people. Let's concentrate on what Islam teaches, not what individual people say or do. I want to listen to the details of a scholars work based on Quran and sunnah. Not a book talking about racism. Every scholar now wants to create a separate platform for themselves. Clout chasing. Causing more divisions than unity. It doesn't matter what race you are, if your work is not based on Quran and Sunnah, it will surely be rejected.

[@ONEHEARTSOUNDS]

You know what he is talking about, and it has to be said.

[@A.Quddus493]

Racism goes against the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Shaytān was the the first racist. So ye, this talk is very much about the teachings of Qur’an and Sunnah. I dare you tell me otherwise!

[@baysnyande3579]

I think you didn't ponder on the questions I raised and jumped straight into nationalism defensive mode. Let me repeat my questions. Who are these scholars he mentioned? How many people know them? Are they prominent scholars in Islam? Do their opinions about race backed by Quran and Sunnah? Are they an authority on Islam? What did the prophet said about racism?

[@A.Quddus493]

@@baysnyande3579 You raised non of those questions in your original comment. Yes, some of the scholars are prominent. He mentions the name of one or two just as an example. I’m no black nationalist, and I have high regard for the ulema. But your comment of “a tiny majority” is empty and baseless. Try reading the book he wrote citing these works and scholars in detail before criticizing his work.

[@baysnyande3579]

Are those scholars hujjah on us? Their opinions about race is irrelevant. Is their racism part of Islam or individual bias? If it is not, then case close. I guess, it makes some people good or maybe pandering to a certain demographic

[@5103jerry]

you got to stop being the victims of racial hate

[@Cassanova-224]

Maybe people need to stop the racist hate asshole

[@talibunajat8178]

The title is wrong. It’s not appropriate to call Muslim scholars racist even if some of them are alleged to be racist

[@PapaAtouDIAW]

If a muslim scholar is racist, he is a racist muslim scholar. Let’s stop this hypocrisy.
