Interview written by Dr. Alisa Perkins (Research Director) and Abdul-Zahir Sadid. Shaykh Ali Sulieman Ali was born in Ghana on February 12, 1948, to parents who hailed from Nigeria and Ghana. He grew up attending the local mosque with his family and enrolled in an Islamic school at a young age. After graduating high school, Shaykh Ali won a prestigious scholarship through the Saudi Arabian government, allowing him to study at the Islamic University of Madinah. Shaykh Ali later moved to the United States to pursue a doctoral degree in Islamic Studies and Arabic from the University of Michigan. After graduating, he worked as a professor of Islamic Studies and Islamic Law at several institutions, including the Michigan Islamic Academy, Wayne County Community College, Oakland University, and the University of Detroit. In the early 1980s, Shaykh Ali began serving as imam for a Dearborn congregation. Several years later, he helped establish Muslim Family Services (MFS) in Detroit, a division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which assists struggling community members with counseling, financial aid, and access to food and transitional housing. He serves as the director of MFS and as an Islamic counselor there. In the interview, Shaykh Ali reflects on his lifetime experience in international travel for Islamic education, comparing the various cultures in which he has immersed himself, including those in West Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. He elaborates on the importance of African and African-American Muslim community-building in Detroit, describing the diverse and tightly-knit communities surrounding the Muslim Center Mosque and Community Center and Historic Masjid Wali Muhammad. Shaykh Ali also describes his aspirations to continue promoting relations between African and African-American Muslims.
