Bukari Mawla (A Eulogy)

This chapter covers the eulogy “Bukari Mawla,” which Afa Ajura composed after learning about Shaykh Bukari Mawla's demise in detention. It highlights Afa Ajura's claim that Shaykh Bukari Mawla preached against the Tijaniyyah practices and was able to convert many people, resulting in his sabotage and detainment. It also portrays the shaykh as one of Afa Ajura's favorite scholars, as well as an idol and role model. The chapter discusses how Afa Ajura considered Shaykh Bukari Mawla as pious, brave, and rightly guided for preaching against the innovation and heresy of the Tijaniyyah. It mentions that the eulogy was delivered in Arabic as Shaykh Bukari Mawla's family and friends could not understand Dagbani.
