more than likely he is raising the child to a diety his tribe worshipped in Africa that probably had little to do with Jesus or allah. But honestly, does it matter?
relearning about God & holiness,I'd have to agree with Oneworldguy,and bobodapsychic,& Anoukakc.Also,Since babies' minds are"empty" of distrust,anger,& other sins,they have the most potential toward Godliness?
I did this with my daughter. Only I did it the Christian way (The baby is presented to God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit & then you say a prayer for the baby) My parents did this with me & my sister when she was a baby.
If you really have to ask what he was going to do with the baby, then I strongly suggest you refrain from using mood-altering drugs because it has clearly taken a toll on your neurological functioning.
"kizzy (holding her to the sky) behold, the only thing greater than yourself" -- that's powerful. Remember, Shamma, these are slaves, who are told that they are no one and nothing. To be told that one is someone, and that only the limitlessness of the Eternal is greater than one's self.. that's deep. Don't let any white/slaveowner try to tell her she's nothing.
Kunta Kinte's father also does this with him when he was a baby. I was under the impression that only "Allah" is greater than Kunte Kinte and Kizzy... I thought it was a presentation of the child to Allah.

Hey fearclowns,
If you really have to ask what he was going to do with the baby, then I strongly suggest you refrain from using mood-altering drugs because it has clearly taken a toll on your neurological functioning.

Is he saying that the human infant is the only thing greater than God, or vice versa?

I think he is telling the child that the only thing greater than herself is Allah or God.
