    I want everybody to know that the Christians and the Muslims during this period fought due to economic reasons and not religious reasons. The Kingdom of Aksum (in Ethiopia), however Christian, gave refuge to Prophet Muhammad's first followers (the Sahabah) after they fled from the persecution of the ruling Quraysh tribe of Mecca.

    Huur (Reaper) Huur was the messenger of Death and had the form of a large bird. The deity was akin to Horus of ancient Egypt and played a similar role in Somali society.
    Nidar (Punisher) Nidar was the righter of wrong. He was considered the champion of those that were exploited by their fellow humans. The deity has survived in modern Somalia as a popular saying; Nidar Ba Ku Heli ("Nidar will find and punish the ones who are naughty").

    Giants and demons: Habbad ina Kamas
    (Giant) Habbad ina Kamas was a legendary cruel giant who ruled half of ancient Somalia. Habbad oppressive rule was the complete opposite to the kindness and care that was bestowed upon the other half of the land ruled by the giant Biriir ina Barqo.

    Biriir ina Barqo (Giant)

      Many regions of Somalia have cities or specific areas whose names corroborate the stories told in Somali mythology. Places such as Abudwaq, Ceel Waaq ("Well of God"), waaq-ooyi("north") and other similar towns with the name Waq in it suggest a relation to the old Waaq worship practiced in the Horn. The Tomb of Arawelo is another popular mythological place in Somalia said to be the final resting place of Queen Arawelo. In modern times, it is considered an important place for Somali women.

    Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi(Ahmed gurey in Somali) was a Somali sultan of the adal sultanate. Hé was part of the walashma Dynasty. the conflict between Adal and Abyssinia begun when the Abyssinian army killed the sultan Sa'ad ad-Din II. the Abysinnian army composed of Habeshas. The Adal army composed of Somalis, Harla, Hararis, Afars. The abysinnian were so scared for the adal army that they couldnt cook their meat since cooking would create the smoke which would attract the adal army. At one time the adal sultanate conquered 3/4 of the Abysinnian empire. after the wars Adal and Abysinnia became weak. this provided a opportunity for the Oromos to migrate. the Abysinnians and Adals lost a lot of land to the Oromos.

Harar was a Somali city founded by descendants of thr Dir clan Gurey's ancestors also descended from. The wall's of Harar were built by Sultan Nur, another ethnic Somali, this time of the Marehan clan to protect the Somali people of Harar. The Imam's biographer was a Moroccan Arab, hence the use of Arabic names in his history. Hararis descemd from Somalis but came under Ethiopian control after the war. Eventually, they even started speaking a Semitic language closer to Amhara and Tigray than their mative togue.

Ahmed ibrahim ibrahim al ghazi was harari and yemeni from hadarmount region. Sxb beenta joojo. Al gazi is not a common name somalis use. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi being somali are just speculations without any factual or Intellectual accuracy. After extensive research most historians specializing in East African history and culture concluded that Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi was mostly likely harari or yemeni. He is either full yemeni, full harari or half harari and half yemeni. Many yemenis resided in harar because it was a flourishing trade hub in acient and medivial times. Many yemenis went to harar for trade and commerce. So please stop lying.
      During Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi conquest of abyssinia Somalis were nomads competitng with each other over scare resources in the dessert like water and pasture. We were busy fighting each other to fight the abyssinia highlanders. Also habar younis lived in haud and didn't practice in the conquest. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi is a hero to East African Muslims but he was harari with a trace of yemeni blood. Also hargeisa and haraghe region of Ethiopia use to be inhabited by the hararis until the Somali nomads pushed them out or assimilated them. Both cities resemble the harari ethnic name.

      EMDNT The victories that gave the followers of Imam Ahmad the upper hand came in 1531. The first was at Antukyah, where cannon fire at the start of the battle panicked the Ethiopian soldiers. The second was on 28 October at Amba Sel, when troops under the Imam not only defeated but dispersed the Ethiopian army and captured items of the Imperial regalia. These victories allowed the Somalis to enter the Ethiopian highlands, where they began to sack and burn numerous churches, including Atronsa Maryam, where the remains of several Emperors had been interred.The country was looted by the Ahmad's forces, who destroyed several Christian monuments and oppressed the non-Muslim Amhara and Tigray.

Amde Seyon attacking Muslims is what caused Ahmed Gurey. They also conveniently ignore he was Somali and they were raiding Somali *Muslim* territory.

      @Yohannes Adane Hello my dear brother. Muslims always had a policy of non aggression towards the absynnian Christian empire. The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king. I hope people of all faiths can live together in peace and harmony in Ethiopia and around the world. Take care.

    If you travel to Ethiopia today most of the country is majority Muslim except for the Amhara and Tigray regions. Even those regions have minority Muslims! Ancient Ethiopia and modern day Ethiopia are two different things. Ethiopia is trying hard to keep the secret that Muslims are actually a majority in modern day Ethiopia.

      Maybe you have seen the areas that the majority of people are Muslim, but that doesn't make the country of Ethiopia Muslim.
      The majority is "Christian" with different doctrine and "Muslim" is the second religion that encompasses the country then the "Pagan" is the rest.
      But Ethiopia is the country that doesn't belittle others religion while glorifying their own. We love and respect each other's religion and we even celebrate every religion holidays together

The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king.

So he thought about what he wanted to create , spoke it on his lips , and the word became real (flesh) . Remember these inscriptions were curved in Egypt more than 10,000 yrs before the birth of the abrahamic religions .
