Sheik Mufty Yassin

Train 101 to Jannah-(Delivered in-Columbus, OH)

From: SNLWTQ (Saturday Night Live With The Quran) – (Columbus, OH)

In this deeply historical session, Sh. Mufty Yassin continues the "101 to Jannah" series by exploring the life and trials of one of Africa's greatest scholars: Sh. Baba of Timbuktu (Ahmad Baba al-Massufi).

The imam takes us on a journey through the golden age of the Songhai Empire and the prestigious Sankore University, detailing the immense knowledge and scholarly contributions of Sh. Baba. But more importantly, this episode focuses on the trials he faced—including his exile and imprisonment after the Moroccan invasion of Timbuktu. The discussion highlights the unwavering patience, dignity, and steadfastness of the scholars of the past when tested by worldly powers.

This is a powerful reminder for the modern believer that knowledge is a light, but true scholarship requires the patience to endure trials for the sake of preserving the truth.
