The Malcolme Visionary X | Muttaqee #ALIM2019

Ayatullah Muhammad

Some months after Malcolme finishes his 'Time Down', he heads to Chicago to continue his scholarly pursuit at the ALIM Summer Program 2019. In this segment, we interviewed one of our eminent colleagues of the 2019 Cohort. In the main segment(The first 20 minutes), we ask him about his pre-ALIM program thoughts as well as the post -ALIM reflections and lastly the "Muhammad Ali" question. At Overtime, we are privileged to hear about his study spirit and learning Islam through Tabah Foundation's work in prisons, his work in Criminal Justice reform and Community revival dreams for San Diego. We also get to hear a piece of his heart for the broader Muslim community who may not be in tune with the struggle, ranging from prison assistance towards Muslim inmates to catering for the less priviledged groups in our community. Malcolme Muttaqee says he is first and foremost a testament to the transformative power of Islam. After spending over a decade behind bars for youthful mistakes, he has become an advocate for others who are directly impacted by the Prison Industrial Complex. Brother Malcolme is the official Muslim Organizer for Pillars of the Community, a faith-based organization in San Diego focused on social justice and reforming the criminal justice system. Malcolme is also a youth mentor for the Movement Enrichment Program which allows him to work with kids in the same juvenile hall he was once detained in as a minor. Furthermore, Malcolme is a children's book author/illustrator and the founder of Purple Sea Publishing. This Testimonial/Podcast is courtesy of the ALIMni 2019 Cohort.
