I am so happy that this document was found and that the world is able to see it.African people were scholars,mathematicians,engineers and scientists.Places of higher learning existed.
My ancestors were enslaved, they were not slaves.
and christianized too
Thanks it really irritates me as well.
Do you know it possible that you ancestor were also slave traders..Just a thought..
Our Forefathers were free men in chains who are the former educators of nations of Europe for 700. 1492, fall of Granada Al Andalusia 🇲🇦 we lost our stronghold and the Moors and Caliphate were kicked out of what's Spain and Portugal today. All of that is African History because before that, they couldn't travel (Christopher Columbus) or even try to come into Africa. We controlled the silk trade. Mali King Mensa Musa is still the richest in recorded history, that's us. We were Judean, Christian, Arab and Muslim then, but unified as Africans under the Moorish Empire under our sultans and families.
Slavery history in this country has been told by white Americans and not the enslaved black people. How can you accurately record history if you only listening to one side
He had gorgeous penmanship. I pray more Americans learn of this man and his noble history.
This story brings tears to my eyes and joyful at the same time! I salute you from The Horn Of Africa (Mogadishu)
Siad B. Love you too my brother.
Greetings from Atlanta,Georgia USA my brother.Peace be with you!!✌🏾
May Allah bless you all in this world and hereafter! Amen.
We love you too bro somaliya ha nolato

They say this is a voice they never heard before but I say these voices have always been there, they just didn’t care to listen…..May Allah be pleased with brother Omar ibn Said
This is an important part of the african history being denied for years
He was literally a type of celebrity during his lifetime and had his autobiography translated within 10 years by Arabic language scholars. Perhaps forgotten is a more appropriate word than denied. Have a wonderful day!
The world is very complex and nuanced. American history is and so is Senegal’s and every tiny region of the Ivory Coast.
Graciela Bonilla I call all individuals involved ‘dear’ because until someone dies there is still a chance for repentance and restitution. In reality neither the slave nor the slave owner are without fault. Muslims talk about how jihad is primarily an internal struggle for right living, something that never ends. The one who enslaves and any others working as masters/owners in the slavery chain are likewise at fault and that fault is easily visible for all to see. All the people involved have a struggle for right living. Perhaps it’s an issue of perspective but getting into the nuance may shift one’s perspective. Understanding nuance takes time and a compassionate ear.
But remember that the Muslims who were enslaved enslaved others themselves, which was the point of my previous comment. What about those Muslim enslaved people? Are they unimportant because they weren’t effected the Atlantic Slave Trade? Should Senegal, Mali and the Muslim people start recording those people’s experiences and preparing reparations for the tens of generations affected?
@@sittingstill3578 I understand your point of view but what makes me think is:are we doing the things right? in about 300 hundred yrs we will be judged for our interpretation of right or wrong? how close to justice and rightness we are?
Tarek Jabal yes i wanted to know if that was only religion. Or if we was enslaved because they changed to Muslims we still missing a lot
Islam rewards paradise to those who free slaves. Manumission is found in the Holy Quran. Unfortunately no such thing can be found in the New Testament. Christianity itself promotes slavery.
Thank God Almighty for allowing these artifacts to be discovered, saved and preserved for us today, this is an amazing part of our history, history for everyone to know and see and the TRUTH to be told! This is fantastic
Well and neat written Arabic. Good Graphics to. Same as written as of today
I agree, his arabic writing is better than mine.
Great history and culture of our African brothers.
@@godr1992 ; yeah the Truth of African History which has been hidden for so long
appears to be reemerging !!!
All the stuff they saying is fine & dandy ,but the bottom line is human being were stolen and sold and treated like beast for the purpose of profit and gain.
Be careful Satan comes in all colors know the truth and the truth will set you free knowledge is power stay positive and prayed up love
Satan's spirit comes in all Color's but the white man is Satan himself as Allah revealed to Thee Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad!!!!

The region he specifies exists in Senégal today. Fuuta Toro is a region along the Senégal river. The practice of flood recession agriculture, similar to that of the Nile, enabled great agricultural prosperity as well as political organization and erudition. I’ve had the great fortune to visit my village in Thioubalel which is in fact located Between two rivers in Fuuta. My grandfather wrote using Arabic characters in The Pulaar language of the Fulani to other scholars and religious leaders. The Almamyat (Islamic Republic) of Fuuta Tooro was created in 1776 explicitly to protect citizens from foreign invasion and slavery. Anyone able to recite the Koran would be deemed a citizen and no one had the right to take them. This story is deeply touching to me on a personal level. Thanks to the LOC and the OP for this important work.
The f
The fulani People are the People who go around back then taking black Afrika People and Selling them to Slavery and they are still doing today but this time as an Army you can find them in cameroon Army and the nigeria Army today their Jobs are to kill and destroy and all the black brother and sister in the American must to know this cause some of them are saying black Afrika People sold them to in Slavery which is not True the fulani Afrika People did that so let the thruth be told
Clement Chachuwa Tanko Apparently you did not read my post....
@@clementchachuwatanko5686 Thank you, there are some in America who do know actual history and that Africans did enslave and sell other Africans. There are some who know of the Muslim Slave Trade that had existed for over a 1,000 years when this man was captured and sold. The man they talk about has a Arab name, Omar Ibn Said, which tells you of the conquest by Islam of Africa starting after 632 AD, first of North Africa then expanding into the sub Sahara. Why does a Black African have a Arab name? That escapes notice and is never mentioned. Through the Arab conquest, convert, submit or die he was either born into Islam or converted, more than likely was born a Muslim since the Arab conquest happened over a 1,000 years earlier and his relatives faced the previous dilemma. You can see this today as North African countries are still considered Arab, their long ago indigenous cultures replaced with Arab/Islamic culture. They say there are more slaves in number today than back in the mid 1800's. I'm afraid the slave trade is alive today, whether Islamic or by others.
His story should be given a chance to be made into a movie.
Boukman was the spritual guide of the Hatian Revolution. The book was the Koran. They burnt that book; held it on his chest. He carried that scar henceforth.
It's such a shame that people act like this is all new discoveries... all this had been hidden from us for a reason.....
they dont want black americans to know what their ancestors were
The spoils of War.....we are POWs..... The Holocaust x100...
Yes, including that Native Americans were actually Muslims. They are now starting to turn back to their roots.
Because the media is busy teaching people hate one another. They divided us in religions not for fun. They want to distroy our memories and keep us slaves.
Our ancestors were of the Moorish Empire that Ruled over North Afrika, West Afrika, Europe, Asia, and the America's!!! Moorish Navigator's were everywhere around the planet!!!
Nice history of our people and i hope we learn from our forefathers God owns all we are just gatekeepers and gardener thank you OMAR.
Roy Osagie I feel bereft and I cried over this , this man is from my region Fouta Toro.

I just finished reading this book.
She lied at 3.06...There was no tribal warfare, they were raided by a big army sponsored and equipped for the purpose of capturing slaves for the merchants.It is clear from his own narrative "there came a big army to our country that killed many people..." If there was tribal warfare going on at that time, he would have known it and called out the tribe.
Thank you,she just lied
They always lie
agreed...'white' guilt
I just finished reading this book and I cringed at all the ways they re-worded and translated what he was saying. This is exactly why I bought the book, because I wanted to translate it for myself. They're trying to make sense in English, what he spoke about in Arabic, there's hardly a way to fully grasp what he's talking about unless you're well versed in Quran and Hadeeth. This blessed man never said he converted, not once anywhere in his book.
@@My.Lifes.Journey Please, please translate CORRECTLY, for you'd indeed be contributing to and enriching history. I had the same intention as you; but, unfortunately, I don't know Arabic. Moreover, after correcting, please seek and submit to: 1) these very people at the Library of Congress or The Smithsonian Institute, and 2) to keep them honest, to proven Africanists (e.g., Dr. Henry L. Gates at Harvard University). Good luck.
I hard time excepting that other people seem to really believe that our ancestors had no culture or written language. How would that even be possible?
We are the builder of pyramid and we blacks gave civilization to the west. Very sad that they are killing us still.
@@foguena but Muslim/arabs are still the Same like europeans they taught them slave Trade and all that when my Brothers and sisters Wake up
@@gigilo5820 why you keep talking bad about muslim when thus video shows exactly was muslim proud of his religion and his hand writing in arabic . You Wake up and go and do some research about your history to stop following your master
It makes them feel better to think they are superior! This is their nature!
Things get better when you believe, and make them better. The school system was created so that they could control our belief system. We will have to decolonize to heal.
True
I am 50 yrs old. In school I was taught the African ppl were uneducated, and that it is what it was. That wasn't enough for me. I was an avid reader at an early age and got into trouble for correcting teacher's. I was asked who told you that?? I said the schools own library. We need more real history, as history is almost always written by the conquered.
@xxheatherxx
I got in a lot of trouble also 🤗
I got my kicks off of it
It wasn’t my fault that adults didn’t go beyond what they were told
My sister used to place bets against me and so called historians (they were adults and I was a kid) they never won
College was fun also bcuz I pissed the professors off
Now that I’m older I don’t even waste my time getting in pig pins w people.
Those who want to know I enlighten them those who don’t I leave them to their own minds
I’m happy you went beyond what someone told you
History is one of the most important things we as humans can learn
Bcuz humans are creatures of habits
And if studied and applied growth could occur
If ignored were doomed to repeat it 🥺
wonderful work guys.👍🏽😀this is a part of our History.thank you so much.
I am soo grateful I came across this been working on art/letter new to art and was just wondering/researching what art actually is and now I'm inspired!!!!! Art is soo deep I love it

I am so appreciative of the efforts made to make this knowledge available and known! Just curious: why aren't all these handlers wearing protective gloves while treating, touching, and the precious documents?🤯🤔 I'm sure they know what they're doing but when handling priceless designer clothing this is known policy
Yvonne Murphy Have you seen any of the videos on the Objectivity channel? They address this issue and apparently the use of gloves isn’t required for all types of materials. In fact their use can cause more damage because they reduce what you can sense through your fingers. With gloves it is easier to rip or crease a page because your body has less sensory information.
Makes sense @@sittingstill3578
I'm inclined to believe that most slaves were highly educated and spiritual like this man. I mean think about it...they already knew agriculture, livestock and survival tactics when they arrived here. They taught the whites. Plus, they were able to survive the long, filthy, grueling trip across seas and then still survived and produced strong offspring after living a life of constant backbreaking labor and starvation. Europeans were either 1)too stupid to understand the blacks advanced capabilities or 2)too jealous/fearful to let history reflect the superiority of the african race. Either way, this is the biggest example of propaganda in the world!
@Haqim Al-Arabia are you serious? I'm assuming you fit into category 1 🙄
@Haqim Al-Arabia, either you didn't watch the video in full or you didn't read Koko's post in full...or both.
That Part!!
The oppressors always denied the right of those human beings as they were psychotic to enslave other humans, they created their own lie to justify their evil actions, and how many other writers they destroyed and covered it up...May Allaah has a mercy on those who suffered the hands of those evildoers..amen
Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported: When I was beating my servant (slave), I heard a voice behind me (saying): Abu Mas'ud, bear in mind Allah has more dominance over you than you have upon him. I turned and (found him) to be Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him). I said: Allah's Messenger, I set him free for the sake of Allah. Thereupon he (peace be upon him) said: Had you not done that, (the gates of) Hell would have opened for you, or the fire would have burnt you. [Sahih Muslim 1659c]
Anyone knows the name of the man playing Omer Voice?
To call them masters seems like an undeserved compliment and position of status. It’s
also more accurate to call the people the enslaved (vs. slaves). It was something that was done to them. It didn’t define who they were.
Masters of destruction evil & greed
Better to call them “beasts”!
Wow!! I have to visit South Carolina has so much history.... Very Powerful
it should be noted that the army which kidnapped them was composed mainly of European mercenaries and
some African trackers who were forced to engage with European slavers, otherwise they were either exterminated or sold into slavery as well and almost 90% of all free men kidnapped in West Africa were very cultured and proud Muslims. but when they were reduced to slavery in America they were Christianized with force and violence or else exchanged their Christianization with their freeings. so sad that the Black American community has forgotten these roots.
Shukran
I think this man was my great great great parent, I am from in Fouta Toro and I have an great great great great mother is name is Oumou Hani and she was parent with Cheikhou Oumar Inb seyde
I came from in family of great kingdom in Fouta Toro
Baaba Maal can I think find the original of this man
Their is also a man named Abdulrahman
Also ibn suliman they called him Ben Solomon. There's also the story of a Brother who wrote the Quran from memory while enslaved here.
I just want to point out the geographical location of is birth place. "Fouta" or "Futa" is a a region located in Guinea-Conakry. Fouta is not part of Senegal. In fact Senegal is a neighbor country of Guinea which is just above the Fouta Djallon and were used by the imperialists to enter Guinea. I appreciate everyone who participated in putting this in light for the African American and young panaAfricanist around the world. Salam
But we also have Fouta in Senegal🇸🇳.I think our's called "Fouta Toro"🤔and is populated by Pheuls-Toucouleurs (foutankés)...🙄
True. But the capital of fouta is located in Guine. The story of the prince is well known by the wise of fouta. I was not trying to dismiss Senegal from fouta.
@@ibrahimasorydouratraore8150 alright.😏
There are two fouta... fouta djallon Is found in Guinea Conakry and futa toro is found In Senegal there is nothing like the capital of futa is located in guinea each country has it own futa
Just shut up. You're embarrassing yourself with your ignorance
Great work on the part of those responsible for bringing to the fore this great story. This just confirms what benevolent people around the world have always held as the truth: No matter your perception of others, they are just HUMAN like you: Same spirit, the human spirit. Those brought here as slaves did have a history, a culture, all that you may call social values, contrary to what their so-called "masters" and some "phoolosophers" contended. Hope this definitely puts to rest the fallacy that the history of Black People starts at their first encounter with the White man. As Bob Marley puts it : "2000 years of history could not be wiped so easily"

We were NEVER SLAVES we were ENSLAVED by other people. .
Thats the same thing. You are trying to make it sound cute.

You were not a slave.
One has to question, who participated in the translation of Omar Inn Said's manuscript?
oh he has the same last name as me 🙌🏽
That was my mother’s last name also. Her grandfather was a Muslim scholar with some Fulani ancestry.
Omar Ibn said means, Omar son of Said.
I didn't hear anything about him talking about african selling africans
Me either,, always trying to change our story to fit their narrative
Other African selling African to another African or white men?
A Nigerian Muslim woman from a family of wealth was recently challenged about giving back because of the wealth they had accumulated from selling other blacks; and she admitted they made a fortune; and would give none back.
And she had gotten in to an elite American University partially as Affirmative Action.
The lie that blacks and Arabs did not enslave and sell those people as slaves ; is as false as the idea White slave owners were almost all helping slaves live a better life.
And some American Indian tribes also held black slaves.
This powerful mentally tough BLACK MAN endured the DEVIL and his EVIL for almost 40 years! A testament to the GREATNESS of the BLACK MAN!
@ADMIN His presence was an example of civility for the blood thirty cavemen.
Slavery is the most horrible act in human history it's a black spot in their human history 😢💔
Instigated by the Catholic Church!
Saikou Suwareh and by the prophet Mohamed, as instructed by Allah! It’s still practiced all across the Islamic world today by faithful Muslims.
Charles Moore Slavery is much older than the Moors. It had literally existed for several thousand years before the Moors conquered North Africa and Spain. It has been practiced in virtually every culture around the world. Like prostitution, it is found in every culture.
@@sittingstill3578
That doesn't make it acceptable nor tolerable
princess étoile I didn’t say that it was. I just stated mankind’s propensity to practice it with or without local examples.
Are you involved in any of the anti-slavery movements? I’ve heard of several aid programs and ministries that work to free slaves who had been kidnapped from or sold into slavery by their parents. It’s difficult and dangerous work but very rewarding and fulfilling. I’m sure these groups would appreciate your help and encouragement. Maybe you could help with the Indians and South East Asians trapped in the UAE who are forced to work as slaves.
Crazy how these people aren't wearing gloves while handling these precious documents...

I served in Gao, Mali . Timbuktu is very close to Gao. Probably he was taught in Timbuktu. He is the descendant of prophet Muhammad. Sayyid is called as Sidi in northern Mali. He remained in his original faith. His dream will come true.
Sorry but I would like to hear the translation by someone other then the descendants of the enslavers.
At that time Timbuktu University were like Havard University because world would wealth people used to send their kids to Timbuktu.
What's sad to me is the fact that word he used to describe the people who took him and enslaved him was "Christians" these weren't any kind of Çhristians in my eyes, fortunately this remarkable man encountered some genuine Christians later along. God bless you Omar Bin Said, utmost respect from Aotearoa/New Zealand ❤
"Then there came to our place a large army, who killed many men, and took me, and brought me to the great sea, AND SOLD ME INTO THE HANDS OF THE CHRISTIANS who bound me and sent me on board a great ship." Omar Ibn Said met the Christians on the beach. They were there waiting for prisoners to buy. Omar Ibn Said was therefore captured by MUSLIMS.
And Alex Haley was ridiculed by many who claimed Roots was just the product of his imagination. I wish he lived to see this!!!
Allegedly, Alex Haley plagiarized much of Harold Courlander's book, 'The African', which was written 9 years before Roots. Haley was sued, but agreed to settle out of court for a non-disclosed sum in 1978. It's amazing that more black people don't know this. Also, a black female Author, teacher and award-winning poet Margaret Walker Alexander, sued Haley as well. She claimed he stole from her novel 'Jubilee.' It sounds as though her book was about 'Queen', the interracial daughter of a slave master who passed for white. On another note, what are your thoughts on Sophia Stewart (The Matrix)?
@@MimiKeel To me it's actually not about Alex Haley or whether his book was the product of plagiarism. It's about the skepticism with which the storyline was met, especially the claims that it was unlikely that a first generation slave could already have had a religion (other than animism) and a name of his own and that he (or she) may have tried to (secretly) preserve both. And that is exactly what I commend Alex Haley for: his efforts led to a book and miniseries that presented two important messages to a large audience. First: that the history of African-Americans does not start in America or with slavery, but in Africa. Second: that each individual slave had a (his)story of his own: a family, a village etcetera. The story of Omar ibn Said proves to these sceptics (of Alex Haley's book), that even if Roots may have been a fictional story, it was/is a very realistic one. So in that sense, the story of Omar Ibn Said gives Roots an added seal of truth (if that is an existing expression).
I didn't know about Courlander, but I'm not an American and I've never been to the US, so I can't say I have the same cultural experience. I also know too little about the Sophia Stewart case to comment on it. What is your view on her?
She said * Fouta* a place in between two rivers. We're in 21 century. *Google it* Fouta is in senegal (North-west) Near Mauritania. Omar is from the *peulh-Fouta* tribe. One of the tribe that first embraced Islam via Mauritania. According to history most of the senegal's scholars are from the part of senegal (tribe) I.e Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, El Adji Omar *Foutiyou* Tall, Maba Diahou Ba etc..( who lived almost at the same century), Highly educated Muslim scholars who have written so many books in Arabic science and literature. Until now, they are using the same hand writting. As a Senegalese, I learnt the Quran on *wooden tablet* (Alliwu) in which , we used to write the Quran verses in the same way..
Were are you from Raghe?
A verse from the Quran MashaAllah, Allah is supreme indeed.Highly cultured man.May Allah bless him in hereafter.
The fulani are very smart people

In 1980 when I was going to public school in the 5th grade in Virginia, the first slave holding state we were told the truth about slavery. That we Black people along with some whites came over here to America as indentured servants not slaves. (That means they were educated they could read and write) And we were also taught the rich greedy corporation owners were the ones who came up with slavery and racism as a way to divide the workers against each other. Not much has changed in 400 years.You can see this in a history channel show called "Slavery And The Making Of America"
you copyright an historical item ?
It is infuriating when reporters or narrators say "salves or their masters". As if they didn't have a name. Those people had homes, business, and wealth. And very will educated more than Europe and united stated in that time. Europe were living in dark ages. And united state wants to build country on a man stolen from his own home to Europe transfered to the US. Those people should be called thugs not masters. The majorty of Africans were highly educated muslims just like Omar Ibn said, but these thugs wanted to erase their cultured and religion. Those thugs were so sick in the head they had them change their name because it was a threat to them.With great sadness those thugs succeeded erasing their true religion and culture. Shame on us racism still exists.

@Gunther Vincent lies i read the book and he did not said
Always known I'm not wht the white man say i am. I'am who i say I'm. No man chooses who I'm, I'll tell u.
It's so sad tht everybdy suffers these days n time. These bad ppl need to b abolished
If you are not in fear of man or woman, it makes absolutely no sense to slave that man or woman. If you are terrified and in fear of a particular man or woman, then you could see how an imperfect human being can resort to slaving someone. It all comes down to fear.
As Salamu Alaykum 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
Where she got impression.about tribal.war?
Wow
They presented their chained of authenticity like the Hadith Sahih Bukhari
In my humble opinion, the Quran needs to be reinterpreted according to the times we live in, which is something it itself calls for. Furthermore, it says that only it has the right to speak for Islam. Hence the fictionary works of the Hadith (stories about Muhammed) and the Shariah (Islamic law), which undoubtedly is the source of all the trouble across the Muslim world, needs to be abolished.
BergenBergen BergenBergen what verse of Quran are you referring to that’s itself asking for a new interpretation in a new world?
@@therealist9602 I'm far from an expert but surely living in the past cannot be a good thing? Verses about compulsion comes to mind, such as 2:256. Besides, if the Quran says it's complete and yet Muslims follow the Hadith (www.quora.com/What-does-Quran-say-about-following-Hadith), then it's more a case of direct violation rather than a call for reform.
@@bergenbergenbergenbergen3512 In my humble opinion if you are not Muslim than your pinion on our religion does not matter. We will not change for you or anyone. Get lost.
@@MohamedMohamed-wi5vu not even THE ONE? :) lol ok pun intended. Anyway what's with the attitude? Yes I am Muslim (half Muslim and half Christian) and no, it's not my opinion, it's the word of God that forbids us from following anything other than the Quran in a religious context. Why do you think Muhammed (pbuh) forbid us from depicting him? It was so that we wouldn't start idolize him like Christians idolize Jesus instead of God. Yet here we are referring to the Hadith more than we do the Quran. And who are you to speak on behalf of 1,8 billion Muslims anyway. Also saying that a person's opinion doesn't matter just because he or she isn't Muslim is also a violation of the Quran in the verse that tells us to respect Jews and Christians aka. the People of the Book. Peace!
I’m so proud of him yet so angry ....Every African Country should build a Statue of Him.....Especially in Somalia 🇸🇴
Islam gives the men or women the right to their fathers name , it should never be changed, it signifies their place on earth without that men and woman are like leaves in the air that's why Muslim women have the right to keep their fathers name even after married, so even if she stays married or divorced or choose to be single her dignity of who she is before after marriage or during marriage she's retains dignity.. similarly a woman meant to stand next to men not behind men as we are equal insight of Allah.
رحم الله عمر ابن سعيد
Futa is still there in Senegambia and the most saddest thing about most slavery stories is full of lies because Africans do not sell their own people instead the white decided it and came to conquer us, done what ever they wanted. But there was never a tribal warfare in cause of slavery because Africans where not in contact with the outside world.
Well it's very hard to swallow some certain truth, but in Omar ibn said case their land was attacked by large white army. He was sold by the army to the slave owners.
Going back to history not only Africa but the world history, there was a tribal warfare going on across the globe.
When tribes wage war against other tribe and if war prisoners are captured they are considered to be slaves until when their tribesmen will freed them by ransom. This was how it is across the globe.
In many part of the world mostly Arab world, tribes signs alliance and friendship to protect each other from attacks. Unfortunately it was different in Africa. Tribes were not building that kind of friendship and alliance except in Ethiopia that's why Ethiopia was not conquered or colonized.
When the white people understood that there's no friendship and alliance between African tribes they of course used the strategy to divide us which led to their massive success in conquering and enslaving us.
This obviously cannot be denied that when one tribe conquered another tribe and captured war prisoners they sold them to the white people.
If Africans responded with friendship and alliances like Ethiopia or the Arab world it would have been a different story.
Surely there were serious resistance from tribes across the continent but so unfortunate there were no alliance.
Stop twisting history! He never said he converted to christianity, He begins his scripture with surat al Mulk(kingship/royalty) in Quran it's enough as a proof of his islamic belief! Like me he is from fouta in Senegal. may Allah grant him Jannah
See our Muslim civilization in Africa before Europe knew about civilization.
Mali (officially Republic of Mali)
Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire , the Mali Empire , and the Songhai Empire. During its golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, literature, and art. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa.

Reach history . Are kidding me. UsA has got dark history week up people.
All African Americans have a story and us Muslims know this story there were lots of Muslims but many off them old or sold slaves
I am an American. All countries and regions have atrocities. Some more than others. I am German and Native American, I get called devil and other things when I post... it hurts. I can't be blamed for what ethic/race I come from. Not all "whites" are bad. I am so happy to watch this, education of the truth sets us free, we do not need to be enslaved my falsehoods anymore.
Men like him were called Moors
Yes they were called Moors of Salam
Actually Fulanis are not moors.
He said he is from Fuuta, which is a region along the Senégal River. The place he descibes, between two rivers is in fact where my village is located. I grew up the son of an African American mother and a Senégalese Father from Fuuta. Our village is called Thioubalel. I had the great fortune to visit this place of great Agricultural wealth, political organization and Erudition. My grandfather used Arabic characters to write in Pulaar to other religious leaders. In fact the Almamyat of Fuuta Tooro was formed to prevent slavers from taking its citizens. Anyone with the ability to recite verses from the Koran would be protected from the invaders. This story is very touching to me.
In europe they were called moors.. watch the documentry "when the moors ruled europe"
Research Senegalese Moors
"Then they came to our country a big army and killed many people" . He points towards foreign Americans who looted and plundered Africa and forcefully made African people slaves. The lady's statement that it was tribal warfare is absolutely false. Please do not mislead people and tell them about the dark past and terrible things Americans have done to humanity and still doing it.
RIP
SHUKRAN that this was located and alters the narrative
Many slaves arrived as Jew, Christian and Muslim. Some were children of kings. they came from all over Africa because there’s no such thing as Middle East to God. America has a very gruesome and horrific history. Therefore their sin has matured in just 200 years . God’s judgement is already on America because the sin of humanity has reached the highest heaven. It is very sad that today’s American glorified the forefathers instead of repentance in sackcloth. Repent America!
InshaAllah.. Black American revert to monotheis
Human trafficking is still operating . That makes him a prisoner of war.
The navigator end with “ America’s rich history” after telling us about SLAVERY 🙄#whitesupremacy
Six weeks on a ship from Senegal to America? 🤣🤣🤣
Anything but the truth. But the truth is known.
Makes me think how can people packed in ships like the picture they feed us could not last that long
Omg he was an Muslim!
Highly educated muslim
After being kidnapped and sold as a slave and getting abused, mentally physically and ways we cannot start to comprehend" by good and decent Christians I really don't think and am highly dubious when you say in this documentary he adopted Christianity as his religion!!!
White people definatio of black people doesn't have to be our reality, may Almighty Allah continues to guide and bless us
Thanks for an In formative post. John Barnett ❤revisited January 2024
Allah is God
God is God. Doesn't really matter what name you give him, he's still the same God who's used to being called by many names.
@@MimiKeel true , but if you research , you will find out that word Allah in Arabic is more closer to truth when it comes to defining God
That's fine. But, I seriously doubt that God cares what people choose to call him.
What about the Hebrew slaves ?
