An Industrial engineer by profession, he has strived to assiduously seek sacred knowledge along with his professional activities since the early 2000s. This interest has led him to study with contemporary senior scholars in Mauritania and Senegal, his home countries. He has studied mainly the following subjects: M\u0101liki Fiqh, Arabic grammar, Seerah Nabawiyya, Hadith, Aqeeda and Tasawwuf. He takes a particular interest in Tafsir of Quran, and has translated one volume (out of 6) of a classical Tafsir by a Senegalese scholar of the 20th century, organized in a similar fashion to the Jalalayn. One of his areas of interest is analyzing the intersection between modern issues and traditional sources of Islamic knowledge.

He has a strong interest in continuously acquiring and perusing Islamic knowledge. An Industrial engineer by profession, he has strived to assiduously seek sacred knowledge along with his professional activities since the early 2000s. This interest has led him to study with contemporary senior scholars in Mauritania and Senegal, his home countries. He has studied mainly the following subjects: M\u0101liki Fiqh, Arabic grammar, Seerah Nabawiyya, Hadith, Aqeeda and Tasawwuf. He takes a particular interest in Tafsir of Quran, and has translated one volume (out of 6) of a classical Tafsir by a Senegalese scholar of the 20th century, organized in a similar fashion to the Jalalayn. One of his areas of interest is analyzing the intersection between modern issues and traditional sources of Islamic knowledge. He currently resides in Canada.","sameAs":["http:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/author\/mukhtar_ba"],"url":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/author\/mukhtar_ba\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76897"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/muslimmatters.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=76897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
