Leaving your house & returning back safely is such an underrated blessing.

sade really gave us a peek of what ascending to heaven must feel like.

whoever does not make use of his ancestry has mottled his reason. Whoever is unconcerned with his lineage had lost his mind. Whoever neglects his origin, his stupidity has become critical. Whoever is ignorant of his roots, his intellect has vanished. Whoever does not know his place of origin, his honor has collapsed” -Shaykh Yazid al Junayd al Sokoto When Malcolm visited Nigeria in 1964, he was given the name OMOWALE - meaning the child has returned home. I returned home after 13 years, and I went as far my family’s village in Dumolya, KanKan, Guinea, where I stayed in a hut built by my great grandfather, touched a tree planted by my grandfather, visited the wareh (cow stead) of Samory Touré - founder of the mandinka/Wossolu empire, which happened to be in my family’s compound; sat with elders who taught me my family’s lineage going all the way back to Sunjata Keita (founder of the Mali Empire), and learned that I’m a direct descendent, as his father’s name was Naré Magan Konaté; I spent time with family who I’d never met before. And finally, I accomplished my goal of retrieving a lost manuscript of my grandfather, Al Hajj Sidique Kunateh, which was missing for nearly 50years. I learned that he was made the mufti of KanKan upon his return from Makkah after 20 years of study. He was a muhaddith and loved to teach BulughulMaram. He left KanKan for Sierra Leone for dawah and teaching. He had students from across Africa and as far as Arabia coming to him seeking ijazah in Hadith. It’s a motivating feeling knowing that I am product of such greatness, because I know now what my potential is. Yet, it’s frightening because the pressure to uphold such a legacy can be very overwhelming. (at Madina, Kankan, Guinea)

Your ethnic features are wonderful just the way they are.
