Episode Description

From the coasts of Senegal to the streets of London, Shaykh Mustafa Briggs shares a journey that weaves together ancestry, faith, and identity. Raised in a Christian household by his Gambian grandmother, he later discovered Islam through the deep spiritual traditions of West Africa — where faith is lived, not performed.

In this powerful episode of the OnePath Network Podcast, Mustafa unpacks the legacy of African scholarship, the story of Islam’s spread through trade and teaching — not conquest — and the personal transformation that led him back to his spiritual roots. A conversation on heritage, history, and the living light of Islam across generations.
