On his return, he urged Muslims to stop holding the daily Dhuhuri (noon prayer on Friday). He also started translating Friday khutuba (summons) in Luganda and other local languages. He is the founder of Africa Muslim Community, Juma Sect, of Bukoto-Nateete. [1][2] As of July 2009, there are an estimated 3,916,717 Muslims in Uganda.[3]
