Despite the fact that reconciliation and unity in the Uganda Muslim Community is still a remote dream, 2015 ends with harvesting a big fish like Maama Fiia, now wife to Maj. Muhammad Kiggundu.
Despite the controversy over hear leadership of Uganda healers and herbalists, the lady took Shahada, like any other Muslim convert.
Healing and her-baling are different. Healing is spiritual and her baling is cultural.
However that does not mean that if Maama Fiina is only a herbalist, her organisation will fall short of healers.
A n organisation is a mixed grill of traditionalists, Muslims, Christians etc.. and a leader does not denounce all of them but just persuades them.
History has it that the Quraish, Prophet Muhammad's tribe, were polytheists, but they changed gradually.
We should also remember that the first religion or belief in or worship the Living God, in human civilization, was in ancient Egypt which was Black. That was before Persians, Jews, Arabs did so.
Egypt was also the first state, in the days of Pharaoh.
No wonder agriculture, housing and reading and writing , all started in Egypt.
So it is not surprising that before the advent of Islam or Christianity, Tropical Africans in the Great Lakes Region, knew about God, with kiganda names like Mukama, Katonda, Sewannaku, Bugingo, Namugereka, with a shrine at Butonda at Namakwa in Kyaggwe. in Runyakitara it was Ruhanga and among the Luo, Lubanga.
Although Maama Fiina is married to a sheikh, Ullamae should ensure that she never slips away. Have we followed tycoon Majambere when he converted in mid 1990s, thanks to the late Haji SulaIman Kiggundu. It may have been to do with genocide in Rwanda where Muslim, both Hutu and Tutsi never participated in it and protected one another, unlike their Christian friends and a section of the clergy.
What about Hon.Salaam Proscovia Musumba, who was a student at Makerere University, and had converted side by side with her husband, Haji Isaac Isanga Musumba and he slipped away, due to a poor follow up.
Let's not lose the likes of Maama Fina, as we lost some in the past. Her organization is a mixture of believers and non believers and she can not impose her own will to them , just like a President, a Minister or a Governor or a Councillor can't impose it. But She will keep our interests the way all these leaders keep interests of their communities.
We should also thank God to pass through, Sheikh Maj Muhammad Kiggundu, to convert a big fish and we should pray for more.
Good season.
