In this episode, we speak to one of the preeminent Muslim African American personalities of North America.
Imam Dawud Walid is an avid researcher, writer, religious leader and played a big role in establishing CAIR Michigan as well as being one of the prominent and most well-spoken political and human rights advocates for Islam in the US.
He is an exceptional personality in his ability to navigate the political activism arena while staying true to his beliefs, an endeavor in which we see too many falter by either watering down their Islam or by sitting on the sidelines in purity while the world passes by.
We talk to him about his journey as a young man, getting serious about his din, his travels and struggles in the acquisition of knowledge and his experiences wrestling with his work, both political and academic.
We also discus his books which can be viewed and purchased here:
