Kasule Siliman Ndirangwa the Supreme Mufti of Kibuli  faction has today  1st April 2021 resigned.


Sheikh Silliman Kasule Ndirangwa was appointed Supreme Mufti on December 16 2015.

Ndirangwa was born the day Uganda got independent on October 9, 1962, to Hajji Muhammad Kasule (RIP) and Hajjat Ajiri Nakawungu of Kirayangoma, Kisekka sub-county, in present-day Lwengo district.

He started school at the age of seven at Madarasat Noor Kirayangoma before moving on to Sseke primary school near Kinoni township in Lwengo where he sat for his Primary Leaving Examinations.

In 1974, he joined Bilal Islamic Institute for his O-levels and graduated with an Idaad certificate with which he enrolled at Dar-al-hadith Makkiyah in Mecca, Saudi Arabia for his equivalent of the A-levels.

In 1985, Ndirangwa enrolled at the Faculty of Da’awah studies at the Islamic University of Madinah in Saudi Arabia, graduating with a degree in Da’awah (propagation of Islam) in 1989.

After his graduation, Ndirangwa returned to Uganda and taught at Buziga Islamic Theological Institute, Masaka Islamic Centre, Kabowa Hidaayat primary school.

In 1992, he was appointed the Imaam of Kibuli mosque, a position that cast him in the limelight. He also cut a niche as a preacher on Sanyu FM, Radio Simba and CBS FM.

By the 2000 Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) elections that led to the election of Sheikh Shaban Ramathan Mubajje as Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Ndirangwa passed unopposed to become a representative of the Kibuli Twaale (County) to the Kampala Muslim district council.

His name was later proposed to the Mufti for appointment as Kampala district Kadhi, a position he has held since 2000 until when he became a Supreme Mufti, to rival his former boss, Sheikh Mubajje.

“I parted ways with Mubajje because I felt I couldn’t work with a person who had become untrustworthy, someone whom I felt had betrayed my trust,” Ndirangwa told our reporter  after his appointment .

“I am thankful to Allah for my life achievements and for having enabled me to serve Islam because all my life, I have been a religious instructor. It is a vocation I cherish,” he said.

Sheikh Ndirangwa is a family man but does not say the number of wives he has. All he says is that he is married to “a number of wives within the limits of Islam,” and also a father to 10 children.

He is also the director of Swafah & Mar’wa Hijja & Umrah travel services, an agency that takes Muslims for the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.
