Scholars and those with knowledge are a cornerstone of the Islamic community. As Muslims, we look to scholars for simple answers to complex questions. These questions may deal with how we pray, when we begin the Holy Month of Ramadan and many other aspects of our religious lives. I do put an emphasis on black scholarship in my writings, and in this article specifically, I wish to highlight the Black scholars of Islam, in particular, Dr Sherman Jackson and Dr Sylviane Diouf.
