In our continuing series about Muslim wrangles today, we speak to Sheikh Ahmad Mukasa, a renowned Muslim cleric. Mukasa is the man who clashed with the Late Shiekh Saad Luwemba at Kololo airstrip. Hamza Kyeyune spoke to him about his experience on Muslim wrangles. Hamza: You have been a household name in Muslim leadership can you tell us about yourself? Sheikh Ahmad Mukasa: I was born in 1934 to Hajj Adam Kasule at Kirugaruga Kakiri-in Busiro North. My grand father Hajj Silman Kalungi stayed in Kawempe and used to make soap for Nooh Mbongo but I am not sure how he did it. I Went to Kisekke and sons Primary School but because it was pure Christina i changed to Mende Kalema memorial School. In 1950, I stopped secular classes in P.6, and went to Katuumu to concentrate on Islamic studies where I graduated as a sheikh. I was taught by Sheikh Islam Ali Kulumba (RIP), Muhamoud Shuaib Katende (RIP) and Sheriff Ahmad Hadaad (former Imaam Nakasero mosque) among others. Hamza: Do you have a family? Sheikh Ahmad Mukasa: Am blessed with fifty children (50), most of them are grown and well educated. You said you studied at IUIU, do you know Dr. Umar Kasule? He is my son, he has a PhD, six of my children have master’s degrees, and others have different qualifications.
