A Moment with Sierra leone’s beloved alim
I had the opportunity to chat with one of Sierra Leone’s finest and very active Islamic scholars to give us his perspective on Islam in Sierra Leone. This episode is a mixture of one of our local dialects and English. We chat about women in Islam, the unrelenting efforts of our youth, seeking Islamic knowledge and the Muslim community’s efforts to propagate Islam in their own small way. Islam is the dominant religion in Sierra Leone where the Muslim population is ranging between 70-80%.
