Imam Ali  was born on the 5th of February 1980 in Yendi Municipal district in the Northern Region of Ghana. He attended an Islamic school in 1987 at Yendi municipal called “ALHAJ SAFFIYAN”. He stopped the school at stage 5, that was in the year 1990, he then relocated to Kumasi at Aboabo Dagomba Line. 

He stayed with grandparent by name, Hajia Rakia Ishaq and Alhaj Mohammed Ishaq. He continued his education at “MARKAZ DA ATI WADRAASATIL ISLAMYYA”  that was in the year of 1990. He stopped his education there at the level Awwal Mutawasit (JHS 1). In year 2002, His grandfather handed him over to his brother (his grand uncle) by name “SHIEK ADAM ISHAH SUFII BAMBA Rahimalhul Allahu Alaih”, in order to further his education. His school was called Ansarel Islam. He studied a lot with him. He studied Tasawwuf (Sufism), Azkaaril Tarbiyah, (Closeness with Allah Subhanah wata’aala) where he started studying most Litafi (Hadith) like Ahdori, Siira, etc. Imam Ali graduated after four (4) years of studies with Shiek Adam, 

He then stayed with Malam Saalis Ilyas Bamba, currently the Imam of Masjidul Kubra at Aboabo Kumasi, Ghana. Along the line followed a lot of Imams to further his Islamic education.
Later on, Malam Saalis decided to further his education in Senegal. He was left alone, which made life tough for him, he was forced out of the apartment he was staying with Malam Saalis by the landlord because he couldn’t afford the rent any more.

He went back to Aboabo Dagomba Line and started sleeping in a certain Masjid, (Mosque) called Malam Sami Mosque. His education became difficult, even feeding became an issue for him. He started following Spiritual Mallams (Islamic scholars who specialise in spirituality and healings) He worked for them by writing Rubutu (Spiritual Islamic script writing) as well as learning more from them. He wrote mostly for Malam Maahi, who was originally from Northern Ghana but stayed in Kumasi. 

Later on, he meet Shiek Abdul Latif Rahimahul Allahu Alaihi, he came from Libya, he arrived in Ghana through a certain chief of Ashanti to perform a special prayers for the chief, Shiek Abdul Lati needed an Islamic script writer (rubutu) for the job, and Imam Ali was introduced to do the job. 

One night he a dream, in that dream, Shiek Abdul Latif asked him to write  Suratul Yasin Three Thousand Three Hundred And Thirty Three times (3,333). In the dream he wrote up to One Thousand Seven Hundred, he shared that very dream with Shiek Abdul Latif, who then gave him a gold ring in his finger. Shiek Abdul Latif told him to put that ring on his finger any time he intend  to write Rubutu (script) for anyone. 
That is how he started learning Hisbab (Knowledge of Stars and Star reading) from Shiek Abdul Latif. When Shiek Abdul Latif was about to leave Ghana for Mauritania, he followed him, they left for Sudan, and then Chad they later return to Niger which was their final destination.

Shiek Abdul Latif gave him Wasia (letter) to move to Zarmaganda a town in Niger republic. 
He went to meet a Mallam called Aliyu Maiga, he handed over the letter to him.
Aliyu Maiga gave him shelter and food, the next day after going through the letter, Aliyu Maiga said the letter indicated that he should teach him work about herbs and spirituality. Aliyu Maiga asked him if he can stay in their city, which he gladly accept. 

Aliyu Maiga told him that he will teach him how to treat and heal people with trees and leaves (Herbal medicine), in return he must assist him in farm work (that will be his payment for the teachings), he accepted to work for him in the farm. 
Aliyu Maiga teaches him how to use different kinds of tress, roots and leaves to treat all kinds of diseases anytime they go to farm.
Aliyu Maiga graduated him after 7 months of training and teachings, he asked him to go back to his home town to practice what he has learnt. 

He then came back to Ghana and settled at Borno East region (Formerly Brong-Ahafu region) in a town called Jeema between Kintampo and Techiman.  In that town, he meet Nana Sasraku Asradaa. He learnt a lot from him. He stayed with him for 2 years and 8 months.  Nana Sasraku Asradaa told him that spiritual and herbal work  has no end in terms of studies and learning, it’s a continuous research and learning process till eternity. Nana Sasraku Asradaa advised him to go to Techiman to practice spiritual and herbal work, anytime he faces challenges or forget something, he should contact him.
When He started his herbal and spiritual work, people called him Nana Asradaa as they called his master name after him. 

During his work, he meet a man called Mallam Ayuba Wangara, he is a Malian but reside in Akim Oda a town in the Eastern Region of Ghana. 
He left Techiman to Akim Oda to stay with Mallam Ayuba Wangara. Who thought him how to perform Turab (using soil <sand> to read people’s life. ) Mallam Ayuba Wangara was old and too weak so he took charge of his work, and people called him Mallam Ayuu Wangara because he was adopted as a son by Mallam Ayuba Wangara. 
A lot of people thought he was Mallam Ayuba Wangara’s biological son. After some few years, he left Akim Oda and return to Kumasi. 

In Kumasi, he continue working as a Mallam (spiritualist and herbalist) during his work in Kumasi, he meet a lot of people who are into gold mining, and other gold related business. 
Together they collaborated and work in the precious metal industry. During that period, all his concentration was in the gold business, he forgot about  his true calling which is spiritual and herbal work. That was how his gold business started collapsing. 
After the total collapsed of his gold business, he started transportation business, whiles in that business, he meet an old man who advised him to go back to  spiritual and herbal work.

That was how he returned to spiritual and herbal work, he has thought a lot of youths about spiritual and herbal work and he is still teaching those who want to learn herbal and spiritual work as well.
