From Ghana to Global: Baba Shuaib’s Controversial Take on Islam, Hadith & Identity
What if everything you were taught about your religion wasn’t actually required by the scripture itself?
For millions of Muslims around the world, tradition and inherited practices often take precedence over personal understanding of the Quran. But what happens when someone challenges that status quo—publicly? Baba Shuaib, a correctional officer from Ghana turned Quranic researcher and viral content creator, is doing just that. With his growing online presence, he’s questioning mainstream Islamic teachings, rejecting the Hadith, and calling for a return to the Quran alone. His message is bold, controversial, and deeply rooted in scripture.
In this episode of Into the Light, host Edina Mauvana sits down with Baba Shuaib for a fearless and fascinating conversation. They explore what it means to be Muslim, how labels and sects have diluted the faith’s original message, and why Baba insists the truth doesn’t fear being questioned. Whether you agree or not, this episode will make you think—and maybe even reexamine your spiritual lens.
