What a flashback 😢 I lived in Ethiopia on and off from Yemen, I lost my wife at the Ethiopian/ Eritrean war in 1998. I left Ethiopia in 1991 during to tension between Mangestu and opposition parties. They were tanks rolling in Addis Ababa. Most of foreigners left, I lost contacts of my late wife until I got to USA then I heard the sad news about her. I’m Tanzanian/ Yemeni. Ethiopia is always in my heart . Beautiful country and great people 🇪🇹
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

😢 The kindness of that little boy brings tears to my eyes. I'm always proud of my Ethiopian heritage. not to brag because I’m Ethiopian but back in the day all Ethiopian people were very welcoming, generous, loving and very friendly, just like that little boy even if they don’t have anything they give you what they have. the spirit of sharing prevailed. Sadly, it seems such genuine warmth has become rare today, replacing by a sense of fear among people. I miss old Ethiopia!
That is so true. I’m half Ethiopian but my Ethiopian side burns so strong in me. You have to live in Ethiopia, ignore the war, poverty and strife ( all the side shows) to really understand Ethiopia. Then you’re in love for life.
What a beautiful country and beautiful people. The two boys were very thoughtful and communicative. I hope that their country sees peace soon and they can grow into adulthood in a stable, prosperous nation. Thank you for show us this amazing country Tommy!

@@rpvofficiel2184 65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70 O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71 O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72 Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73 And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74 He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75 Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76 Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77 Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78 And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79 No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80 Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81 God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82 Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83 Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84 Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86 How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87 Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88 Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89 Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90 As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91 As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 92 You will not attain virtuous conduct until you give of what you cherish. Whatever you give away, God is aware of it. 93 All food was permissible to the Children of Israel, except what Israel forbade for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Bring the Torah, and read it, if you are truthful.” 94 Whoever forges lies about God after that-these are the unjust. 95 Say, “God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the Monotheist; he was not a Pagan.” 96 The first house established for mankind is the one at Bekka; blessed, and guidance for all people. 97 In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse-God is Independent of the worlds. 98 Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?” 99 Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe, seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of what you do.” 100 O you who believe! If you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they will turn you, after your belief, into disbelievers. 101 And how could you disbelieve, when God’s revelations are being recited to you, and among you is His Messenger? Whoever cleaves to God has been guided to a straight path.
Dear God, please protect these innocent people so they can always live in peace 😢 What a beautiful country, with such sweet people, it’s heartbreaking to always see the fighting, but it’s so beautiful to see the optimism in the everyday people! Thank you for showing us around, subscribing now!
As a young man from Pennsylvania, US, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is one of my favorite countries I would love to visit someday I hope I can explore that beautiful land and meet its beautiful people! Peace and One love Ethiopia 🙏
@@jusplay7309 Wow that’s so cool your from Ethiopia and are now living in same country and state as me! what part of Pennsylvania are you in now? And God willing I will definitely set foot in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and hopefully I can learn lots of things spread love and get to know the awesome people there. And appreciate some that beautiful nature that is over there!
@@LovingDeantheGodMachine333Berks county, PA. Love living in PA surrounded by beautiful country, walking trails and mennonite farms as neighbors. It’s really different from living in Ethiopia but both have their own beauty in their own right.
Overall great content. As an Ethiopian origin living in the state for 15+ years, I understand the concern when the dad left the kid. Just to clarify, the dad left the kid to stay with you because the kid can help you incase if you lost your way back. It's a sign of respect and politeness. Most people do that not only for foreigners but also for someone who visits out side of the city.
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

@@rafaelw8115 what a surface level problem, that is the least of our worries. the thing we should be most ashamed of is the deep ethnic division we still have that our genocidal Prime Minister is taking advantage of. how can you worry about money when there hasn't been peace in the country since this Prime Minister took office?
There was this brilliant girl in my class back in Ethiopia, out of curiosity I asked her about her ethnicity and she responded “I’m Ethiopian”. I kept asking her but she just kept saying I’m Ethiopian and I understood her meaning and I admired her for it. That was about 10 years ago and it’s never too late to understand that it doesn’t matter what ethnicity one is, at the end of the day everyone is Ethiopian be it Amhara, Oromo, Tigre or any of the 80+ ethnic groups. A fractured country is bound for doom, let’s learn from history and other countries. Stand up united, break the revenge cycle, don’t be short sighted, think of the future generations and aim for peace and equality.
This was so moving. Many people don't know that many Ethiopians are devoted Christians. There are many ancient ruins from the times of Christ and before are there. It is considered the second Jerusalem. Notice how well mannered the children are and the politeness of if's people. It is a jewel of Africa.

I'm Ethiopian and I have no clue what you're talking about. There are dozens of polls and studies about the high religiosity of Ethiopians. Also, there are no "ruins from the times of Christ", there are ruins that pre-date Jesus Christ by 600 years or more and the Lalibela church complex isn't one of them.
@@Sidek0if your so religious? Why k*lling each other every 10-15 years? War with Eritrea, war with Somalia, internal civil wars. Even those who claim to be atheists have more peace in their country. Make it make sense!
@@ukidk6862 Arguing? Where did you see me argue? I'm simply correcting gross historical inaccuracies online made by people who have no knowledge of history but allow themselves to give their uneducated opinion or feelings about "history". Most people don't even read books let alone history books. They just say or write what they want to believe.
That boy is simply awesome...little boy is the perfect example of sweet nature, honest thinking and hugable hospitality....even he is not rich then he want to give something to someone with open heart and warm wishes...we wish the boy will be better man in future and become successful person in life when he mature enough...❤ Best of luck kiddo❤
Very good comment.and observation..Yes that really is the nature of most Northern and eastern Ethiopian culture.we grow-up with good Education from our religion to love and respect Human because we all are the creature of God..🙏
Tommy, I just want you to know it’s such a privilege for me to have you in my life even if it’s just through videos because I have always wanted to travel and get out of this miserable town I’m stuck in but have never had the money to travel, you make it bearable here and without you I would probably never get to see anything but this town. Thank you for everything that you do and share with us all. Please if you can stay safe and always keep us updated whenever you go to a hostile area. Much love my brother!
You don't need a lot of money to travel. Find some way that you can make money as a side hustle... you would be surprised at how little you need and how friendly and welcoming most of the world is.

God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full.

@@stephanieadams9702 The population of Lalibela is largely Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, and the percentage of Muslims is relatively low, estimated to be around 1-2% of the total population. So why would he show an almost non-existent community that he's not contacted by adventuring?
You demonstrate genuine respect and professionalism. Even though the two African women had similar childhoods, it is disheartening to witness their inappropriate behavior.
I'm syrian and arabic is my mother language The Similarities between Amahric and arabic is Amazing there is few words we share which is really nice Like salamne, in arabic it's salam alikum and also house, in arabic house is like you said it tommy (Bate/bait) بيت Ethiopia is quite beautiful, and their people are amazing, Hope their war ends peacefully
❤Growing up in a family that comes from Amhara region they thought me of loving, sharing, caring, forgiving my own kinds ( humans) The only region that only call themselves as Ethiopian even though they are in the war🙌 They don’t hate their country in any situation just like you don’t hate your own mom because she is poor to feed you, One of my favorite word from my family they say “In Amhara household you are a Jesus guest” GOD bless Ethiopia & all his creations Amen 🙏

He wad enjoying and excited meeting them. There parents do not give money to kids cuz they think they would be ruined early. They do not care that much about money though. But I felt bad for the guy who said 100$ for enterance to the Lalibela church , Itz totally unacceptable.
@@erizenm6987 Yes, that moment when the little boy gave each of them a Cross and tied it around their necks as a "parting gift" brought me to tears, because its clear to see that people there have NOTHING ---- and yet, this little boy gave both of them something out of the NOTHINGNESS he had --- his _Love, Generosity and Kindness_ ..... and it angered me and made me sad that this guy was willing to PAY $100 to go see a "church" 😐 Now I dont know about you, but the GOD I believe in isnt short of cash and doesnt need my money ; and I believe that IF God could "speak" to this guy, He would have told him to give all that money to all of those 10 children they encountered along the way! Do you know what $10 dollars or even $1 dollar would mean to those children there? This is how God expects us to ACT --- by GIVING to those who have NOTHING --- not by paying $100 dollars to go see a man-made church. Jesus told his followers to give to everyone who asks (Luke 6:30), to give to those who can't repay (Luke 14:13 - 14) and to freely give what we have freely received (Matthew 10:8). “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me” (Luke 18:22). According to God's Word, there are four fundamental purposes for money: to provide for basic needs, to confirm direction, to give to those in need, and to illustrate God's power and care in provision. I assure you that little boy has God's Kingdom in his heart --- this guy and that woman, do not. Jesus said that WORDS without ACTIONS are meaningless. God Bless that little boy forever, and all the poor children of the world, may God give them Heaven. 🙏

Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

I would like to express my advance gratitude to Tom. Amid our country gaining global attention and being perceived as a war-torn zone, your presence in such perilous settings has effectively conveyed the true situation. I genuinely appreciate your efforts and extend my thanks once more. My hope is for Ethiopia 🇪🇹 to experience peace and for us to exhibit the hospitality we are known for, breathing the air of tranquility. ❤
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God.

@@rafaelw8115 - he's talking about when those three little girls gathered together for the camera shot. Which had nothing to do with begging. And would be a natural innocent response of any little kids that age.. Thank God! That was adorable and Nick has stated. Kudos! What a blessing!
What an amazing experience, all of it! Being accompanied by beautiful African ladies, friendly children and shepherds seems like a dream. And after seeing everything all of it I don’t think you were extorted. They allowed you to film and explained everything while the worshipers were there, seems like an experience of a lifetime.
Lalibela is really the 8th wonder of the world. Massive buildings carved from the earth, from the bottom down, 11 of them. All with underground and secret passageways, all built 1000 years ago. Truly incredible African Architecture that is deliberately hidden. It needs to be taught in schools.
Your journey through Ethiopia was not only visually stunning but also deeply informative and enriching. The way you showcased the country's rich cultural heritage, particularly the awe-inspiring churches, left me in awe. Also the little friend, so sweet and well taught. wish him all the best and well. Thanks Tommy!

Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves.

Greetings to my fellow Ethiopia n! I hail from the beautiful region of Eastern Ethiopia, and I am here to spread a message of unity and progress. It is time for us to break free from the shackles of a war mentality and come together in love and solidarity. Just like the days of Meles Zenawi ( my all time hero leader) , we were unstoppable when united as one strong nation. Let us not allow ourselves to be divided by ethnicity or region any longer. The past is behind us, and we are now living in the 21st century. It is time to embrace unity and work towards a brighter future together. There are no winners in war, and we must remember that even the East is not as weak as some may think. So, my dear Northerners, let us leave behind the old divisions and strive towards a future filled with peace, prosperity, and progress. Together, we can achieve greatness and show the world the strength of our unity. The time for change is now, and I am excited to see what we can accomplish together!
The beauty of Jose popping up and exiting without warning. The mystery of their relationship! Academy Award for screenplay is highly in order. Keeping us on the edge of our seats 😊🙏❤️
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him.

I'm glad you were met with open arms. Absolutely beautiful countryside. As stunning as it is here in Ontario. Let there be peace in Africa, God bless Ethiopia.
As an Ethiopian, I must say, you sir, are an impressive, not to mention brave individual. I was taken aback by your keen observation and understanding of the culture of others. It must have come from a great deal of travelling in Africa. I thank you for being genuine in your vlog.
Really enjoyed watching this, Tommy! And it was so beautiful and heartwarming seeing you interact with that boy who invited you into his home so naturally. I was really touched by Josey's advice to him (minute 31) about staying strong and focusing on his bright future. I grew up in a small village in Sierra Leone, and as a kid, these advices made a huge impact on me growing up and planted seeds of hope and aspiration that made the man I have now become. 13 years later, finished high school at home, graduated college in the USA, and just finished my PhD in the Biomedical Sciences. I hope the boys can stay focused and get all the help that they need. The sky is the limit! Bless you for sharing these beautiful stories, @SabbaticalTommy
Wow, the breathtaking views from the hotel and the warmth of the people in Ethiopia truly stole the show! Your videos consistently capture the essence of the country so beautifully. I especially loved the part where you showcased the top of the rock church. It reminded me of my own visit to Lalibela, and your content brings back those amazing memories. Looking forward to more incredible videos from you-keep up the fantastic work Tommy.
From childhood I have dreamt of visiting Ethiopia. I've lived in Asia, Europe all over the US and have visited 25% of the countries in the world. I look forward to finally being able to visit one of the countries I have always wished to spend time in. Thank you for this intimate look into this amazing country!
Your content is always fantastic! No pandering, no staged crisis, just a smart dude with an amazing knack for languages on the ground in places most people never even think to visit. Please keep it up Tom!
I did that trip back in 2008 and took the bus all the way up from Addis to Axum stopping off along the way. My memories of Ethiopia will last a lifetime. And the amazing fruit juices.
Everytime i go to ethiopia my heart breaks to see little children have nothing. Thank you for this journey and I hope other people are able to see the beauty of my country
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. I apologize for the behavior of those men at the church. Anyone is welcome to see the church, you can get a guided but only if you want and it’s not $100! Bless the boy and the others that welcomed you 🙏
I know that place very well so many memorise 29 years a go i was a Soldier i was 16 years old solder by then i was in reall war i lost so many frinds do to war I Miss's my country my family for 27 years never been my country so please stop fighting each other the people of Ethiopia they deserve pace .No to War
Real raw footage. It dosen't get any better than this. Respectful, non judgmental, open personality. Makes it easy I bet to get gold content like this. Fine companion you got there too. Our sisters from Uganda and Cameroon.
I visited in 2007 (Addis Ababa, Shashemane). The best part is the loving people. For the church, even men wear a cover on their head, and you take your shoes off in the house of the lord. I was baptized there. Also, I don't think them guys were from the church that was asking for money. Obviously, I don't know for sure but they had no crosses or covering on. I think they just pretending to be from church to extort money. Coffee is originally from Ethiopia. So glad you got the chance to experience the coffee ceremony. Hopefully, you learned the history of the ceremony its very interesting and ancient. So let me tell you about the drum. The big side represents the beating, and lashes yesos christos took for us. The small side represents the baby yesos christos. This is why during hymns they clap hands when big side is played, and rock their hands like rocking a baby when small side is played. Not sure the meaning when they sit down to play. There is a lot to learn.
WOW, you are memorizing Amharic so WELL! Those kids really loved it. I'm envious! I couldn't speak it very well, when I traveled to ET in summer of 2022.
One thing about the Amhara people of Ethiopia is they are proudly Ethiopian during the good times & during the bad times. Also during the times they're hated & during the times they are loved. God bless those children ❤

Wow The breathtaking scenery from the hotel balcony showcases the beauty of the mountains and the charming church, making it a truly captivating view. What a stunning country to explore!
Wow, Ethiopia is so beautiful! The kids are so adorable! Broke my heart when the lady said the father sent the kid with you guys. I feel so bad for the child. 💔 Absolutely is an extortion charge this much to visit a Church. 😱 I wish I could sent a box with shoes and clothes for the kids and the nice ppl there. I have shoes that my son never even used, brand new shoes and brand new clothes, 😔 do you know any trust worthy organization I can send to and they will actually distribute to this village? I loved the little chain with the cross the kid gave you, so adorable of him. ❤ 🥰 I loved watching it. Have a wonderful and blessed x-mas, take care! 🎄🙏

So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

The father sent the kid to show them around. In Ethiopia they r very trusting especially in the countryside ,its not unusual. The lady took it wrong and what she was saying wasn't nice!
@@jemi7142 65 Say, “I am only a warner, and there is no god except God-the One, the Conqueror. 66 The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; the Mighty, the Forgiver.” 67 Say, “It is a message of great importance. 68 From which you are turning away. 69 I have no knowledge of the Highest Assembly as they dispute. 70 It is only revealed to me that I am a clear warner.” 71 Your Lord said to the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay. 72 When I have formed him, and breathed into him of My spirit, fall prostrate before him. 73 So the angels fell prostrate, all of them. 74 Except for Satan. He was too proud, and one of the faithless. 75 He said, “O Satan, what prevented you from prostrating before what I created with My Own hands? Are you too proud, or were you one of the exalted?” 76 He said, “I am better than he; You created me from fire, and You created him from clay.” 77 He said, “Then get out of here! You are an outcast! 78 And My curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.” 79 He said, “Lord, defer me until the Day they are resurrected.” 80 He said, “You are one of those deferred. 81 Until the Day of the Time Appointed.” 82 He said, “By Your majesty, I will seduce them all. 83 Except for your loyal servants among them.” 84 He said, “The truth is, and I say the truth. 85 I will fill Hell with you, and with every one of them who follows you.” 86 Say, “I ask of you no wage for this, and I am not a pretender. 87 It is but a reminder to mankind. 88 And you will know its message after a while.” 29 Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward. Read The Quran
Thank you for showing us the real life of our people. It’s so sad to see those kids are growing up in the middle of conflicts because of the politicians in Ethiopia. The people are as you see friendly, humble, honest and ready to help others even they don’t have anything enough for them selves. I pray for those people and kids around the war area to get their peace back and have a better life 🙏🏽 I love you my people ❤ This people deserves a better life ! I would like to thank you again Tommy to Shaw is the reality than the government propaganda in the government controlled media.
Love seeing Lalibela again. I was there in 2018, and have many Ethiopian friends affected by the uprisings there. Thank you for showing us the stone churches and life in Lalibela
Wow Tommy great video, I worked with two of Haile Selassie's nephews in the early 70's. Hopptee Million and Asapher . heavy accent but fine gentlemen. Beautiful country, thank you
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills.

I wish all those kids the best in their lives man, such sweet kids. Thank you for sharing Tommy, this is my first video watching you explore and going on adventures, you have a calm energy about you and your speech in other languages is very good. I will make sure to subscribe for more mate! Have a good Christmas and a New Year, take care!
I am sorry, as Ethiopian I feel so bad when they asked you $100 dollars to go to church. What a shame ? They didn't realized that they were recording. That's shame and I hope and pray that you will found your bag that you lost Airline. That you all for going there this critical time and showing us what's going on in there. May God bless you and protect you. Thank you so much!🙏
You guys are loving and kind hearted. The way u guys try to interact with the locals really heart warming. The other thing that small kid really truly amazing
I appreciate your video and thank you for uploading. As for the $100 fee you paid, it is part of your tour. I paid $50 4 years ago and I am native Ethiopian with American passport and I guess price went up. I also want to point out that you pay similar fees when you visiting European church’s as well. For example, the Vatican Museum in Vatican City.
Friendly to foreigners but not to each other. Especially if they harbour different political beliefs. Don't flex the friendliness of Habasa people as if that was a virtue.
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v I mean the government is a military dictat*rship, thats the only problem and thats easy to fix, that would be solved when he is gone. Ethiopia has ethnic conflicts, a region who had the de@dliest W@r in the 21th century and is Africas latest sovereign default so i don’t understand why did you mention that? WHAT IN THE WORLD is the correlation to what I said?
The Dynamic Duo is finally back TOGETHER! I hope there isn’t another repeat of the side-quest from Thailand. Being a POW would absolutely blow donkey bits. Stay safe dudes

When I began watching this video, I had wondered if there would be any mention of the Ethopean Jews. I knew that many of them migrated to Isreal, but I had wondered if anymore had remained in Ethopia. I met an Ethopean man here in Indiana USA a few years ago. We had a great conversation as he told me about his country. He also had a wonderful since of humor and we laughed a lot. Ethiopia has such of an interesting ancient history as mentioned in the old scrolls/Bible.

Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin. 36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4 Master of the Day of Judgment. 5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6 Guide us to the straight path. 7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous. 3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them. 4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. 5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful. 2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind. 34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower. 35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.” 36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.” 42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world. 43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.” 44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled. 45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest. 46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.” 47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” 48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. 49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” 50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.” 51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.” 53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.” 54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners. 55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve.

Thank you so very much. I am always interested in your travels and follow your videos with great interest. I had often known about the famous churches in Ethiopia and this has given me the best insight. Be safe my friend.
Tommy I appreciate what u do, travel is my #1 wish to see all I can! You’re not a war correspondent, u show us the world. I’m worried for you in a John Lennon type way that u are choosing 2 go to war zones instead of just being good ol Tommy in Brazil or Africa or China! U watch yourself Tommy! U don’t have 2 show us war that puts u in danger, u can just show us beautiful places & beautiful people without the risk! God Bless u Happy Holidays!
TOMMY YOU HAVE THE BEST TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION CHANNEL ON RUclips. YOU DESERVE MILLIONS OF MORE SUBSCRIBERS, AND YOU HAVE BIG NUTS TO GO TO THE PLACES THAT YOU GO TO AND ALONE. THANK YOU SIR FOR OPENING THE EYES OF MANY PEOPLE OF WHATS GOING ON AROUND THE GLOBE!!!! ❤🙏👍
I am straight tripp'n on those characters both on the runway, and on the bullet ridden airport glass doors. Those characters are wild! A quick search reveals an incredible plethora of different alphabets combined crazee super interesting! Just pausing the screen on the runway shot, you can see through the writing so many cultural influences. I could pull up a map and easily discover trade routes unwritten and imagine the paths of humans past stretching north through Egypt, bouncing around the Levant, with further eastern influences, then back west across the Mediterranean, and north to Scandinavia all by what is written on the runway. Magnificent! Holy crap, is that your view from your hotel room, duh. But wow! What time of day was it then? Ok ok, I'll shut up and watch now.. Talk about the Tower of Babel, baby it's written right there on the runway.
40:41 can’t believe Tommy didn’t tip the little boy who did a fantastic job in guiding you guys. The girl from Cameron showed her ignorance about the little boy’s dad intentions. But overall thank you for showing this amazing place to the world.

What a flashback 😢 I lived in Ethiopia on and off from Yemen, I lost my wife at the Ethiopian/ Eritrean war in 1998. I left Ethiopia in 1991 during to tension between Mangestu and opposition parties. They were tanks rolling in Addis Ababa. Most of foreigners left, I lost contacts of my late wife until I got to USA then I heard the sad news about her. I’m Tanzanian/ Yemeni. Ethiopia is always in my heart . Beautiful country and great people 🇪🇹
Was your wife Yemeni?

59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.

16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”

25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.

35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

I was about to say the same thing and I saw your comment
I didn't like what one of the lady said bout the kid's father, he sent his kid to show them around.
And he invited them to he’s house and bought them a gifs but the haven’t seem give him anything
@@Ghp7657Yep, that's the difference between Ethiopians and them West Africans.
😢 The kindness of that little boy brings tears to my eyes. I'm always proud of my Ethiopian heritage. not to brag because I’m Ethiopian but back in the day all Ethiopian people were very welcoming, generous, loving and very friendly, just like that little boy even if they don’t have anything they give you what they have. the spirit of sharing prevailed. Sadly, it seems such genuine warmth has become rare today, replacing by a sense of fear among people. I miss old Ethiopia!
Me too, so innocent!! Love my people! God bless them🙏
That is so true. I’m half Ethiopian but my Ethiopian side burns so strong in me. You have to live in Ethiopia, ignore the war, poverty and strife ( all the side shows) to really understand Ethiopia. Then you’re in love for life.
True :) ...so does the terrific ping pong game 😂

5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.

65 O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66 Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67 Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68 The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69 A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70 O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71 O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72 Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73 And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74 He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75 Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76 Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77 Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78 And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79 No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80 Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81 God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82 Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83 Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84 Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86 How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87 Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88 Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89 Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90 As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91 As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
92 You will not attain virtuous conduct until you give of what you cherish. Whatever you give away, God is aware of it.
93 All food was permissible to the Children of Israel, except what Israel forbade for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, “Bring the Torah, and read it, if you are truthful.”
94 Whoever forges lies about God after that-these are the unjust.
95 Say, “God has spoken the truth, so follow the religion of Abraham the Monotheist; he was not a Pagan.”
96 The first house established for mankind is the one at Bekka; blessed, and guidance for all people.
97 In it are evident signs; the Station of Abraham. Whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage to the House is a duty to God for all who can make the journey. But as for those who refuse-God is Independent of the worlds.
98 Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you reject the Revelations of God, when God witnesses what you do?”
99 Say, “O People of the Scripture, why do you hinder from God’s path those who believe, seeking to distort it, even though you are witnesses? God is not unaware of what you do.”
100 O you who believe! If you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they will turn you, after your belief, into disbelievers.
101 And how could you disbelieve, when God’s revelations are being recited to you, and among you is His Messenger? Whoever cleaves to God has been guided to a straight path.

As a young man from Pennsylvania, US, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is one of my favorite countries I would love to visit someday I hope I can explore that beautiful land and meet its beautiful people! Peace and One love Ethiopia 🙏
Hello I’m Ethiopian but I live in Arizona USA 🇺🇸. The capital city Addis Ababa Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is safe. North Ethiopia cities like Lalibela and Gondor.
As a fairly new Pennsylvanian from Ethiopia, I agree you should visit sometime.
@@jusplay7309 Wow that’s so cool your from Ethiopia and are now living in same country and state as me! what part of Pennsylvania are you in now? And God willing I will definitely set foot in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and hopefully I can learn lots of things spread love and get to know the awesome people there. And appreciate some that beautiful nature that is over there!
@@LovingDeantheGodMachine333Berks county, PA. Love living in PA surrounded by beautiful country, walking trails and mennonite farms as neighbors. It’s really different from living in Ethiopia but both have their own beauty in their own right.
thanks bro
Overall great content. As an Ethiopian origin living in the state for 15+ years, I understand the concern when the dad left the kid. Just to clarify, the dad left the kid to stay with you because the kid can help you incase if you lost your way back. It's a sign of respect and politeness. Most people do that not only for foreigners but also for someone who visits out side of the city.
Yes its true 😊
Quite trie
Very true!!!!Thank you!!!
thank you this was on my mind
I see that. Would be completely unthinkable for a Westerner to leave their kid with a tourist. Would never happen.
The key is the kids dad allowed them to go and follow you and they helped you with your content and journey. The world is magical in trust and love

I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

@@rafaelw8115 what a surface level problem, that is the least of our worries. the thing we should be most ashamed of is the deep ethnic division we still have that our genocidal Prime Minister is taking advantage of. how can you worry about money when there hasn't been peace in the country since this Prime Minister took office?
@@rafaelw8115ethnic politics is destroying Ethiopia the people need to unite instead of killing each
Fr the dad prolly didn't want the people to get lost and to make the kids busy. I'm ethiopian grow up here so I get it.
@@ajax1472😂😂😂😂 please stop talking shit
There was this brilliant girl in my class back in Ethiopia, out of curiosity I asked her about her ethnicity and she responded “I’m Ethiopian”. I kept asking her but she just kept saying I’m Ethiopian and I understood her meaning and I admired her for it. That was about 10 years ago and it’s never too late to understand that it doesn’t matter what ethnicity one is, at the end of the day everyone is Ethiopian be it Amhara, Oromo, Tigre or any of the 80+ ethnic groups. A fractured country is bound for doom, let’s learn from history and other countries. Stand up united, break the revenge cycle, don’t be short sighted, think of the future generations and aim for peace and equality.
This was so moving. Many people don't know that many Ethiopians are devoted Christians. There are many ancient ruins from the times of Christ and before are there. It is considered the second Jerusalem. Notice how well mannered the children are and the politeness of if's people. It is a jewel of Africa.
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
6 Guide us to the straight path.
7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.
2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them.
4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”

I'm Ethiopian and I have no clue what you're talking about. There are dozens of polls and studies about the high religiosity of Ethiopians. Also, there are no "ruins from the times of Christ", there are ruins that pre-date Jesus Christ by 600 years or more and the Lalibela church complex isn't one of them.
@@Sidek0if your so religious? Why k*lling each other every 10-15 years? War with Eritrea, war with Somalia, internal civil wars.
Even those who claim to be atheists have more peace in their country.
Make it make sense!
@@ukidk6862 Arguing? Where did you see me argue? I'm simply correcting gross historical inaccuracies online made by people who have no knowledge of history but allow themselves to give their uneducated opinion or feelings about "history". Most people don't even read books let alone history books. They just say or write what they want to believe.
@@Sidek0 what you wrote doesn't change what the OP said, that many Ethiopians are devout Christians. Stop wasting your life online, go outside.
That boy is simply awesome...little boy is the perfect example of sweet nature, honest thinking and hugable hospitality....even he is not rich then he want to give something to someone with open heart and warm wishes...we wish the boy will be better man in future and become successful person in life when he mature enough...❤ Best of luck kiddo❤
Very good comment.and observation..Yes that really is the nature of most Northern and eastern Ethiopian culture.we grow-up with good Education from our religion to love and respect Human because we all are the creature of God..🙏
Tommy, I just want you to know it’s such a privilege for me to have you in my life even if it’s just through videos because I have always wanted to travel and get out of this miserable town I’m stuck in but have never had the money to travel, you make it bearable here and without you I would probably never get to see anything but this town. Thank you for everything that you do and share with us all. Please if you can stay safe and always keep us updated whenever you go to a hostile area. Much love my brother!
You don't need a lot of money to travel. Find some way that you can make money as a side hustle... you would be surprised at how little you need and how friendly and welcoming most of the world is.
You're welcome in my home in Ireland anytime, brother.

46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

How can someone contact you tommy ?
He does good job but home come he didn’t show us the Muslim community who constitutes over 50% of the population.
@@stephanieadams9702isn't Ethiopia only like 25% Muslim?
@@stephanieadams9702 The population of Lalibela is largely Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, and the percentage of Muslims is relatively low, estimated to be around 1-2% of the total population. So why would he show an almost non-existent community that he's not contacted by adventuring?
I like the other guys responds two people died, it's alot of people, his response we have a very strong social bond.
You demonstrate genuine respect and professionalism. Even though the two African women had similar childhoods, it is disheartening to witness their inappropriate behavior.
I'm syrian and arabic is my mother language
The Similarities between Amahric and arabic is Amazing
there is few words we share which is really nice
Like salamne, in arabic it's salam alikum
and also house, in arabic house is like you said it tommy (Bate/bait) بيت
Ethiopia is quite beautiful, and their people are amazing, Hope their war ends peacefully
Because Arabic Amharic our Semitic language that’s why are similar
cause amharic is a semitic language like tigrigna hebrew and arabic
😅😅
Yes there is a lot of similarity
❤Growing up in a family that comes from Amhara region they thought me of loving, sharing, caring, forgiving my own kinds ( humans) The only region that only call themselves as Ethiopian even though they are in the war🙌 They don’t hate their country in any situation just like you don’t hate your own mom because she is poor to feed you, One of my favorite word from my family they say “In Amhara household you are a Jesus guest” GOD bless Ethiopia & all his creations Amen 🙏
Those two boys were so kind and thoughtful. They deserve better
Once peace is restored, all will be well… May God Help Ethiopia.
@@pearls1626 what a world it will be
@@pearls1626Amen
Etiopía is such a beautiful country with friendly people. Would love to visit one day.
That view from the hotel was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth.

3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.

34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”

Seriously marvellous
The little boy was so kind, as if he wasn't expecting anything in return.
He wad enjoying and excited meeting them. There parents do not give money to kids cuz they think they would be ruined early. They do not care that much about money though. But I felt bad for the guy who said 100$ for enterance to the Lalibela church , Itz totally unacceptable.
That’s how most Ethiopian are they are very kind people but if it was me I would have give something to the kid
@@erizenm6987 Yes, that moment when the little boy gave each of them a Cross and tied it around their necks as a "parting gift" brought me to tears, because its clear to see that people there have NOTHING ---- and yet, this little boy gave both of them something out of the NOTHINGNESS he had --- his _Love, Generosity and Kindness_ ..... and it angered me and made me sad that this guy was willing to PAY $100 to go see a "church" 😐 Now I dont know about you, but the GOD I believe in isnt short of cash and doesnt need my money ; and I believe that IF God could "speak" to this guy, He would have told him to give all that money to all of those 10 children they encountered along the way! Do you know what $10 dollars or even $1 dollar would mean to those children there? This is how God expects us to ACT --- by GIVING to those who have NOTHING --- not by paying $100 dollars to go see a man-made church.
Jesus told his followers to give to everyone who asks (Luke 6:30), to give to those who can't repay (Luke 14:13 - 14) and to freely give what we have freely received (Matthew 10:8).
“One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me” (Luke 18:22).
According to God's Word, there are four fundamental purposes for money: to provide for basic needs, to confirm direction, to give to those in need, and to illustrate God's power and care in provision.
I assure you that little boy has God's Kingdom in his heart --- this guy and that woman, do not. Jesus said that WORDS without ACTIONS are meaningless.
God Bless that little boy forever, and all the poor children of the world, may God give them Heaven. 🙏
I love Africa so much! I'm so glad you're back and showing us regions that we would never see otherwise.

True that. Don't wear a mask. they are really, really bad for you.
I would like to express my advance gratitude to Tom. Amid our country gaining global attention and being perceived as a war-torn zone, your presence in such perilous settings has effectively conveyed the true situation. I genuinely appreciate your efforts and extend my thanks once more. My hope is for Ethiopia 🇪🇹 to experience peace and for us to exhibit the hospitality we are known for, breathing the air of tranquility. ❤

6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

@@rafaelw8115 - he's talking about when those three little girls gathered together for the camera shot. Which had nothing to do with begging. And would be a natural innocent response of any little kids that age.. Thank God! That was adorable and Nick has stated. Kudos! What a blessing!
@@walterhartman3275 Thanks bro
What an amazing experience, all of it! Being accompanied by beautiful African ladies, friendly children and shepherds seems like a dream. And after seeing everything all of it I don’t think you were extorted. They allowed you to film and explained everything while the worshipers were there, seems like an experience of a lifetime.
Lalibela is really the 8th wonder of the world. Massive buildings carved from the earth, from the bottom down, 11 of them. All with underground and secret passageways, all built 1000 years ago. Truly incredible African Architecture that is deliberately hidden. It needs to be taught in schools.
Said to be built by the Knights Templar..
@@AlphaDonMega don´t bullshit there were never templars in Ethiopia

Your journey through Ethiopia was not only visually stunning but also deeply informative and enriching. The way you showcased the country's rich cultural heritage, particularly the awe-inspiring churches, left me in awe. Also the little friend, so sweet and well taught. wish him all the best and well.

Greetings to my fellow Ethiopia n! I hail from the beautiful region of Eastern Ethiopia, and I am here to spread a message of unity and progress. It is time for us to break free from the shackles of a war mentality and come together in love and solidarity. Just like the days of Meles Zenawi ( my all time hero leader) , we were unstoppable when united as one strong nation.
Let us not allow ourselves to be divided by ethnicity or region any longer. The past is behind us, and we are now living in the 21st century. It is time to embrace unity and work towards a brighter future together. There are no winners in war, and we must remember that even the East is not as weak as some may think.
So, my dear Northerners, let us leave behind the old divisions and strive towards a future filled with peace, prosperity, and progress. Together, we can achieve greatness and show the world the strength of our unity. The time for change is now, and I am excited to see what we can accomplish together!
The beauty of Jose popping up and exiting without warning. The mystery of their relationship!

43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

This is such a real channel. No click bait, no rambling, no content pep up. Just real out in the wild showing culture. Well done.
All religions should go back to Ethiopia and get their bearings from them... Ethiopia still my dream destination
Praying for peace on earth. God bless you Tommy. Great work brother
I'm glad you were met with open arms. Absolutely beautiful countryside. As stunning as it is here in Ontario. Let there be peace in Africa, God bless Ethiopia.
As an Ethiopian, I must say, you sir, are an impressive, not to mention brave individual. I was taken aback by your keen observation and understanding of the culture of others. It must have come from a great deal of travelling in Africa. I thank you for being genuine in your vlog.
The little boy was so amazing. That was truly beautiful that he took you to his home.
Stay safe and happy holidays
Really enjoyed watching this, Tommy! And it was so beautiful and heartwarming seeing you interact with that boy who invited you into his home so naturally. I was really touched by Josey's advice to him (minute 31) about staying strong and focusing on his bright future. I grew up in a small village in Sierra Leone, and as a kid, these advices made a huge impact on me growing up and planted seeds of hope and aspiration that made the man I have now become. 13 years later, finished high school at home, graduated college in the USA, and just finished my PhD in the Biomedical Sciences. I hope the boys can stay focused and get all the help that they need. The sky is the limit! Bless you for sharing these beautiful stories, @SabbaticalTommy
This video has a healing power... is a reminder for how beautiful Ethiopia and Ethiopians are! ❤ .. thank you Tom❤!
Wow, the breathtaking views from the hotel and the warmth of the people in Ethiopia truly stole the show! Your videos consistently capture the essence of the country so beautifully. I especially loved the part where you showcased the top of the rock church. It reminded me of my own visit to Lalibela, and your content brings back those amazing memories. Looking forward to more incredible videos from you-keep up the fantastic work Tommy.
If I had the money I'd fund that sweet kids education 😢 we need more of him
Let us PRAY to God, that he grows up and becomes the LEADER of his nation one day. The world needs souls such as his to lead people. 🙏
From childhood I have dreamt of visiting Ethiopia. I've lived in Asia, Europe all over the US and have visited 25% of the countries in the world. I look forward to finally being able to visit one of the countries I have always wished to spend time in. Thank you for this intimate look into this amazing country!
Your content is always fantastic! No pandering, no staged crisis, just a smart dude with an amazing knack for languages on the ground in places most people never even think to visit. Please keep it up Tom!
I too admire his mastering of language that open doors for him.
Those two boys made me sad 🤦🏾♂️ you can tell they got good hearts and don’t wanna be there 😔😔 you are a good dude brother !!
I did that trip back in 2008 and took the bus all the way up from Addis to Axum stopping off along the way. My memories of Ethiopia will last a lifetime. And the amazing fruit juices.
Everytime i go to ethiopia my heart breaks to see little children have nothing. Thank you for this journey and I hope other people are able to see the beauty of my country
I was in Lalibel in 2013. We drove from Addis Ababa. Amazing people and landscape.
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. I apologize for the behavior of those men at the church. Anyone is welcome to see the church, you can get a guided but only if you want and it’s not $100! Bless the boy and the others that welcomed you 🙏
I know that place very well so many memorise 29 years a go i was a Soldier i was 16 years old solder by then i was in reall war i lost so many frinds do to war I Miss's my country my family for 27 years never been my country so please stop fighting each other the people of Ethiopia they deserve pace .No to War
WOW! I didnt know Ethiopia was so Beautiful and Spectacular!
Real raw footage. It dosen't get any better than this. Respectful, non judgmental, open personality. Makes it easy I bet to get gold content like this. Fine companion you got there too. Our sisters from Uganda and Cameroon.
I hope the 2 amazing children have a great future
you people the father gave you his child out of kindness to show you around but not to take him.he is precious for his father
That's right but they took it the wrong way
I visited in 2007 (Addis Ababa, Shashemane). The best part is the loving people. For the church, even men wear a cover on their head, and you take your shoes off in the house of the lord. I was baptized there. Also, I don't think them guys were from the church that was asking for money. Obviously, I don't know for sure but they had no crosses or covering on. I think they just pretending to be from church to extort money. Coffee is originally from Ethiopia. So glad you got the chance to experience the coffee ceremony. Hopefully, you learned the history of the ceremony its very interesting and ancient. So let me tell you about the drum. The big side represents the beating, and lashes yesos christos took for us. The small side represents the baby yesos christos. This is why during hymns they clap hands when big side is played, and rock their hands like rocking a baby when small side is played. Not sure the meaning when they sit down to play. There is a lot to learn.
WOW, you are memorizing Amharic so WELL! Those kids really loved it. I'm envious! I couldn't speak it very well, when I traveled to ET in summer of 2022.
Wow stunning views ...I never imagined that Ethiopia would look like this. Thanks Tommy!
Ethiopia is literally a mountains country. What did you expect? There is no desert in the mountains
we have 70% of Africa's mountains lol
One thing about the Amhara people of Ethiopia is they are proudly Ethiopian during the good times & during the bad times. Also during the times they're hated & during the times they are loved. God bless those children ❤
you two work so fabulously together. thanks for all the great content and beautiful views of both the landscape and the people
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
6 Guide us to the straight path.
7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.
2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them.
4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”

Wow The breathtaking scenery from the hotel balcony showcases the beauty of the mountains and the charming church, making it a truly captivating view. What a stunning country to explore!
Wow, Ethiopia is so beautiful!
The kids are so adorable! Broke my heart when the lady said the father sent the kid with you guys. I feel so bad for the child. 💔
Absolutely is an extortion charge this much to visit a Church. 😱
I wish I could sent a box with shoes and clothes for the kids and the nice ppl there. I have shoes that my son never even used, brand new shoes and brand new clothes, 😔 do you know any trust worthy organization I can send to and they will actually distribute to this village?
I loved the little chain with the cross the kid gave you, so adorable of him. ❤ 🥰
I loved watching it. Have a wonderful and blessed x-mas, take care! 🎄🙏

36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

The father sent the kid to show them around. In Ethiopia they r very trusting especially in the countryside ,its not unusual. The lady took it wrong and what she was saying wasn't nice!
@sillat7669. God bless you. You have a good heart.

65 Say, “I am only a warner, and there is no god except God-the One, the Conqueror.
66 The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them; the Mighty, the Forgiver.”
67 Say, “It is a message of great importance.
68 From which you are turning away.
69 I have no knowledge of the Highest Assembly as they dispute.
70 It is only revealed to me that I am a clear warner.”
71 Your Lord said to the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay.
72 When I have formed him, and breathed into him of My spirit, fall prostrate before him.
73 So the angels fell prostrate, all of them.
74 Except for Satan. He was too proud, and one of the faithless.
75 He said, “O Satan, what prevented you from prostrating before what I created with My Own hands? Are you too proud, or were you one of the exalted?”
76 He said, “I am better than he; You created me from fire, and You created him from clay.”
77 He said, “Then get out of here! You are an outcast!
78 And My curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.”
79 He said, “Lord, defer me until the Day they are resurrected.”
80 He said, “You are one of those deferred.
81 Until the Day of the Time Appointed.”
82 He said, “By Your majesty, I will seduce them all.
83 Except for your loyal servants among them.”
84 He said, “The truth is, and I say the truth.
85 I will fill Hell with you, and with every one of them who follows you.”
86 Say, “I ask of you no wage for this, and I am not a pretender.
87 It is but a reminder to mankind.
88 And you will know its message after a while.”
29 Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves. You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval. Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration. Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers. Through them He enrages the disbelievers. God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward.

Thank you for showing us the real life of our people. It’s so sad to see those kids are growing up in the middle of conflicts because of the politicians in Ethiopia. The people are as you see friendly, humble, honest and ready to help others even they don’t have anything enough for them selves. I pray for those people and kids around the war area to get their peace back and have a better life 🙏🏽 I love you my people ❤ This people deserves a better life ! I would like to thank you again Tommy to Shaw is the reality than the government propaganda in the government controlled media.
Love seeing Lalibela again. I was there in 2018, and have many Ethiopian friends affected by the uprisings there. Thank you for showing us the stone churches and life in Lalibela
Tnx for visiting our beautiful country 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹❤❤❤
Wow Tommy great video, I worked with two of Haile Selassie's nephews in the early 70's. Hopptee Million and Asapher . heavy accent but fine gentlemen. Beautiful country, thank you
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
6 Guide us to the straight path.
7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.
2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them.
4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.

1:08 when you landed on the airport. the scripture in the road in written by the Legend Tigray Defense Force while they were capture the city
Nothing legendary from the TDF. They started a war that led to death of many. Even now Tigray starves due to TDF. Shameful.
I wish all those kids the best in their lives man, such sweet kids. Thank you for sharing Tommy, this is my first video watching you explore and going on adventures, you have a calm energy about you and your speech in other languages is very good. I will make sure to subscribe for more mate! Have a good Christmas and a New Year, take care!
31፥43 I broke in to tears. You don't understand what it means unless you are Ethiopian. This is so cute 😢
Totally, the conditions my people live in are just unimaginable! Amhara 😭😭😭
Very true!!!!! It broke my heart and hope God help us to get our peace and unity back again🙏 we’re all brothers and sisters
True. The boy has nothing but he give what he has with love and respect..🥰🙏...That's us Ethiopians🤗🙏
I am sorry, as Ethiopian I feel so bad when they asked you $100 dollars to go to church. What a shame ? They didn't realized that they were recording. That's shame and I hope and pray that you will found your bag that you lost Airline. That you all for going there this critical time and showing us what's going on in there. May God bless you and protect you. Thank you so much!🙏
I think it's big miss understanding they want to say 100 birr instead they say dollar
You guys are loving and kind hearted. The way u guys try to interact with the locals really heart warming. The other thing that small kid really truly amazing
Hey Tommy the kid on video who helped you guys out was awesome! Was wondering if he needs some assistance for education or how can one assist
Thanks for your great heart
Thank you
Yes, what a sweet boy! I want to help too
I appreciate your video and thank you for uploading. As for the $100 fee you paid, it is part of your tour. I paid $50 4 years ago and I am native Ethiopian with American passport and I guess price went up. I also want to point out that you pay similar fees when you visiting European church’s as well. For example, the Vatican Museum in Vatican City.
HABESHA people are the friendliest in the world 🇪🇹 🇪🇷 🌍 🤍🤍🤍
Friendly to foreigners but not to each other. Especially if they harbour different political beliefs. Don't flex the friendliness of Habasa people as if that was a virtue.
@@heruy8274 perhaps people like you are the problem 🦠
@@heruy8274idk which habesha you‘re talking about but eritreans value friendliness within each other very much
@BBGL02 if that were the case then eritrea would be liveable for eritreans.
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v I mean the government is a military dictat*rship, thats the only problem and thats easy to fix, that would be solved when he is gone. Ethiopia has ethnic conflicts, a region who had the de@dliest W@r in the 21th century and is Africas latest sovereign default so i don’t understand why did you mention that? WHAT IN THE WORLD is the correlation to what I said?
you're such a humble tourist, i like that
The Dynamic Duo is finally back TOGETHER! I hope there isn’t another repeat of the side-quest from Thailand. Being a POW would absolutely blow donkey bits. Stay safe dudes

When I began watching this video, I had wondered if there would be any mention of the Ethopean Jews. I knew that many of them migrated to Isreal, but I had wondered if anymore had remained in Ethopia.
I met an Ethopean man here in Indiana USA a few years ago. We had a great conversation as he told me about his country. He also had a wonderful since of humor and we laughed a lot.
Ethiopia has such of an interesting ancient history as mentioned in the old scrolls/Bible.
There is no apparent geological reason for Ethiopia to suffer poverty! Such a beautiful country! Wow 🤩
corruption in government is the only reason
That view of the landscape from the hotel balcony you were staying at is one of the most beautiful ever!

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57 And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”
58 This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59 The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60 The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61 And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62 This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63 But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64 Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
48 God does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives anything less than that to whomever He wills. Whoever associates anything with God has devised a monstrous sin.
36 To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
16 And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17 She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18 She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20 She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21 He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22 So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23 The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24 Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25 And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26 “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27 Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29 So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30 He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31 And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32 And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33 So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34 That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35 It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37 But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38 Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39 And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40 It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
85 Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
Read The Quran
That was very educative thank you guys i learnt a lot about the funeral rights the Ethiopian way besides the unbelievable beauty of the countryside more than the famine and incessant wars of fratricide the world hears about from time to time . Ethiopia is magnificent indeed beautiful
Tommy at his very best...in Africa..this was EPIC ❤
1 In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2 Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
5 It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help.
6 Guide us to the straight path.
7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided.
2 This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
3 Those who believe in the unseen, and perform the prayers, and give from what We have provided for them.
4 And those who believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5 These are upon guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
2 God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3 He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4 Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5 Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6 It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
33 God chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran, over all mankind.
34 Offspring one of the other. God is Hearer and Knower.
35 The wife of Imran said, “My Lord, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me; You are the Hearer and Knower.”
36 And when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female,” and God was well aware of what she has delivered, “and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and have commended her and her descendants to Your protection, from Satan the outcast.”
42 The angels said, “O Mary, God has chosen you, and has purified you. He has chosen you over all the women of the world.
43 “O Mary, be devoted to your Lord, and bow down, and kneel with those who kneel.”
44 These are accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were you with them as they quarreled.
45 The Angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.
46 He will speak to the people from the crib, and in adulthood, and will be one of the righteous.”
47 She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child, when no man has touched me?” He said, “It will be so. God creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”
48 And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.
49 A messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the figure of a bird; then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal the blind and the leprous, and I revive the dead, by God’s leave. And I inform you concerning what you eat, and what you store in your homes. In that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”
50 “And verifying what lies before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so fear God, and obey me.”
51 “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
52 When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, “Who are my allies towards God?” The disciples said, “We are God’s allies; we have believed in God, and bear witness that we submit.”
53 “Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed, and we have followed the Messenger, so count us among the witnesses.”
54 They planned, and God planned; but God is the Best of planners.
55 God said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56 As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.

Thank you so very much. I am always interested in your travels and follow your videos with great interest. I had often known about the famous churches in Ethiopia and this has given me the best insight.
Be safe my friend.
Tommy I appreciate what u do, travel is my #1 wish to see all I can! You’re not a war correspondent, u show us the world. I’m worried for you in a John Lennon type way that u are choosing 2 go to war zones instead of just being good ol Tommy in Brazil or Africa or China! U watch yourself Tommy! U don’t have 2 show us war that puts u in danger, u can just show us beautiful places & beautiful people without the risk! God Bless u Happy Holidays!
TOMMY YOU HAVE THE BEST TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION CHANNEL ON RUclips. YOU DESERVE MILLIONS OF MORE SUBSCRIBERS, AND YOU HAVE BIG NUTS TO GO TO THE PLACES THAT YOU GO TO AND ALONE. THANK YOU SIR FOR OPENING THE EYES OF MANY PEOPLE OF WHATS GOING ON AROUND THE GLOBE!!!! ❤🙏👍
You always show the reality in every situation. I love that about you. Much love from Addis Ababa 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
I am straight tripp'n on those characters both on the runway, and on the bullet ridden airport glass doors. Those characters are wild! A quick search reveals an incredible plethora of different alphabets combined crazee super interesting! Just pausing the screen on the runway shot, you can see through the writing so many cultural influences. I could pull up a map and easily discover trade routes unwritten and imagine the paths of humans past stretching north through Egypt, bouncing around the Levant, with further eastern influences, then back west across the Mediterranean, and north to Scandinavia all by what is written on the runway. Magnificent! Holy crap, is that your view from your hotel room, duh. But wow! What time of day was it then? Ok ok, I'll shut up and watch now.. Talk about the Tower of Babel, baby it's written right there on the runway.
40:41 can’t believe Tommy didn’t tip the little boy who did a fantastic job in guiding you guys. The girl from Cameron showed her ignorance about the little boy’s dad intentions. But overall thank you for showing this amazing place to the world.
