Testimonials"Ismael al-Mukhtar’s book is a solidly-researched, well-grounded and balanced history of Islam in Eritrea that draws on original sources, includes thoughtful discussion and makes informed arguments that add to our knowledge about Eritrea’s rich and complex past. I very much hope that it will stimulate, propel and promote new and deeper research on multiple aspects of the subject. The book’s informative chapters, bibliography and appendices provide numerous references to further probe, a number of threads to pull and questions to explore, as well as multiple traces and paths to follow.” |

Manitoba Muslims
Ismael Ibrahim Mukhtar has been one of the key leaders of the Manitoba Muslim community for over three decades. His extensive and wide-ranging community contributions include serving as president of the Manitoba Islamic Association, vice-president of the Muslim Student Association, editor-in-chief of the Manitoba Muslim Magazine, volunteer imam, and counsellor. He is an Islamic scholar, regularly lecturing and writing on Muslim issues.
With this book, Mukhtar seeks to create a historical reference to prevent more of this rich history from being lost. And by creating a better understanding of his people, he hopes to demystify Muslims and combat Islamophobia, thereby contributing to a more positive environment for all. Mukhtar lives in Winnipeg with his wife and three children. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). |
"The {Muslim} community should always be driven by the spirit of “we can do better,” “we can give more,” and “we can shine more”. It need not be mosque confined nor self-centered, but in the spirit of Islam, it needs to be broad minded with a dream to make Manitoba and Canada a better place for all. A place where Indigenous rights are protected, poverty is eradicated, homelessness is eliminated, equal opportunities are guaranteed, diversity celebrated, human rights upheld, newcomers are welcomed and good values are nurtured." |
