A Swahili-English Edition /$rKai Kresse. 330 $aSheikh al-Amin Mazrui wrote his essays of this Guidance ( Uwongozi ) collection in Mombasa between 1930 and 1932, providing social critique and moral guidance to Kenya?s coastal Muslims during a period of their decline during British colonial rule. The essays were initially published as a series of double-sided pamphlets called Sahifa (The Page), the first Swahili Islamic newspaper. Inspired by contemporary debates of Pan-Islam and Islamic modernism, and with a critical eye on British colonialism, this leading East African modernist takes issue with his peers, in a sharply critical and yet often humorous tone. Al-Amin Mazrui was the first to publish Islamic educational prose and social commentary in Swahili. This bi-lingual edition makes fascinating reading for specialists and general readers. 410 0$aAfrican sources for African history ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aMuslims$xReligious life$zKenya 606 $aIslam$zKenya$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aReligious life$xIslam 607 $aKenya$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aMuslims$xReligious life 615 0$aIslam$xHistory 615 0$aReligious life$xIslam. 676 $a297.0967620904 700 $aMazrui$b Al-Amin Bin Ali$01249831 702 $aKresse$b Kai 702 $aMwakimako$b Hassan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150533303321 996 $aGuidance (Uwongozi) by Sheikh al-Amin Mazrui$92896145 997 $aUNINA
