A Swahili-English Edition /Kai Kresse.Sheikh al-Amin Mazrui wrote his essays of this Guidance ( Uwongozi ) collection in Mombasa between 1930 and 1932, providing social critique and moral guidance to Kenya’s coastal Muslims during a period of their decline during British colonial rule. The essays were initially published as a series of double-sided pamphlets called Sahifa (The Page), the first Swahili Islamic newspaper. Inspired by contemporary debates of Pan-Islam and Islamic modernism, and with a critical eye on British colonialism, this leading East African modernist takes issue with his peers, in a sharply critical and yet often humorous tone. Al-Amin Mazrui was the first to publish Islamic educational prose and social commentary in Swahili. This bi-lingual edition makes fascinating reading for specialists and general readers.African sources for African history ;Volume 13.MuslimsReligious lifeKenyaIslamKenyaHistory20th centuryReligious lifeIslamKenyaReligious life and customsMuslimsReligious lifeIslamHistoryReligious lifeIslam.297.0967620904Mazrui Al-Amin Bin Ali1249831Kresse KaiMwakimako HassanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150533303321Guidance (Uwongozi) by Sheikh al-Amin Mazrui2896145UNINA
