Prof dr ali mazrui biography wife

I just learned of the passing of Dr. Ali Mazrui posted Oct 13, and with profound sorrow I wish to share a little story with you.

Ali mazrui triple heritage

Mazrui at a mid-town hotel in order to conduct an interview about the state of Muslims in America. He was gracious, kind and very enthusiastic about the prospects of American Islam, in the hands of African American Muslims, finding a respected place in the modern world free from the cultural baggage of incumbent Muslim societies.

He expressed his desire for the American Muslims to remain steadfast in their pursuit of the middle ground and not become sidetracked by the glitter of political Islam which, in his opinion, was a road that led to ruin. He praised the intellectual work of people like Dr. Akbar Muhammad and Dr. Suliman Nyang. In his characteristic style saturated with humility, he minimized his own contributions as being the result of intellectual curiosity.

For me, his sense of clarity is what will be missed. Mahmoud Andrade Ibrahim.
