| 520 | 8 | |a This is the first English translation and commentary of the collected poems of Alhaj Yusuf Salih Ajura (1910-2004). Known as Afa Ajura ("scholar from Ejura", a town where he was born), this orthodox Islamic scholar, poet, and polemicist, grew up in Northern Ghana where he preached and composed. Upon his passing, he left behind more than 153-page collection of poems on socio-religious themes in Dagbani (Northern Ghanaian language) and Arabic. In the accompanying introduction, translator Zakyi Ibrahim examines Afa Ajura's social, religious, and intellectual background, contextualizes the environment in which Afa Ajura founded and ran his Sunni community, and assesses the impact "Ajuraism" has had on Northern Ghana. Ibrahim also explores the social and theological themes of the poems and how they challenge Tijaniyyah Sufi clerics and traditional practices such as idol worship, imploring Ghanaians to subscribe to orthodox Islamic beliefs as a means of attaining salvation in the afterlife. | |
