Leader of Masjidul Bayaan, Sheikh Ibrahim Iddrisu Baasha has declared Afa Siisu Sa-eed, a trainee of the Bayaan Institute as his successor, a confirmation of leadership responsibility on the shoulders of the latter, bringing a close to raging debate as who succeeds the learned Islamic Scholar.

Malam Basha made the bold announcement at the climax of his 2026 Ramadan Sermon at the Masjidul Bayaan’s Mosque in Tamale in the presence of thousands of followers gathered, imploring on his followers to place high regard to his decision, accord the chosen leader with maximum respect and cooperation required for the forward march of the Islamic Institution.

The new leadership direction means Sheikh Siisu Sa-eed will now herald weekly sermons at the Masjidul Bayaan which takes place on every Friday. Prior to this declaration, Sheikh Baasha used to take charge of the Friday’s Sermons by himself at the Mosque.

This decision by Sheikh Ibrahim Baasha is also marking an end to an era 5 decades of service of preaching, spreading the words of Allah, promulgation of Islam, and fighting the wrongs in society in line with principles of Islam. Above all, ensuring that Sunnah as Islamic sect is deeply rooted in Muslim Ummah, engineering its spread across the Northern Region.
