MrLion0121 Ethiopia is ancient country and was at the time when at the time of the prophet (saw) they saw refugee their they had a Christian ruler who was fair. Until today Christianity has a strong hold of power in the country but the Muslim population of country is very big although they do not have much political power. Neighboring country Somalia became Muslim around the same time making both the Muslims in Ethiopia and Somalia the first people in Africa accepting Islam. Somalia has 100% Sunni Muslim population.
@@kanuarsenal Not Ethiopia my friend it was Kingdom of Axum the First Mosque in africa is in massawa they come from Mecca to massawa in Eritrea to Axum in Tigray Back Then was Tigray and Eritrea one Kingdom thats why lives one Ppl only in this two areas
This documentary approaches the topic as if Arabs brought Islam into Africa centuries later, but in East Africa, Islam reached when Muslim followers were as few as hundreds. Arabs then came centuries later when many were already Muslims in East Africa. In East Africa, our forefathers accepted Islam on their own terms. East Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti deserved better mention in this so called "Islam in Africa".
@@giantlion8109 That would be true if you are only talking about color of the people who brought Islam to Africa, but in East Africa some people were Muslims when some Arabs were pagans. So my point is: The video suggests Arab merchants brought Islam from the north. In North of Africa people became Muslims few centuries later after Islam reached East Africa. So, some people may think that Syria, Lebanon, Jordan etc were Muslims before Africa. So, forget about the color of the people and just concentrate exactly when Islam reached to Africa.
Proud to be an Ethiopian muslim 🇪🇹 and i can't believe you didn't mention Ethiopia which is the first country to accept islam in africa, the land of bilal and alnajashi
Sw sis Also Ethiopian 🇪🇹 brother here we are at least 40% to perhaps up to around 45% 50 MILLION STRONG with rich history and many Sahaba were from this region the land of harar..most land in Ethiopia is muslim majority! ALLAH HU AKBAR!
Although I appreciate the programme and Zeinab's effort, it did not give much emphasis to East Africa. If you are talking about Islam in Africa, Harar (in today's Ethiopia) and Zeila' (in today's Somaliland) must be mentioned. Prophet Mohammed's companions migrated to East Africa (from Mecca) before they migrated to Madina.
water full Who is we? Africa doesn’t belong to you and even if it did you couldn’t even defend yourself against your white slaver masters! Christian Africans has no leg to stay on!
@Shooting Star bro!!! seriously. rise above hate and racism. If every people go back to their original lands. All you whites will have to relinquish the Americas, Australia, and all ex colony native lands.
@Shooting Star brother you are wrong. For a start, Christians and Jews are Not unbelievers as per Islamic teachings. We are all believers of God/ Allah Almighty. Secondly, In Islam unbelievers usually refer to atheists, Pagans and Polytheists, not Christians amd Jews. Regardless, whether your are believerbor not Islam teachs us to affirm our common brotherhood under Humanity. Al people regardless of race and religion are from Adam and Eve. Islam teaches us to be kind, just, ans merciful to all people. Thats the reality. Don't judge Islamic religion by what MUSLIMS do. Wether Somalis, Arabs, Asians, Muslims are just like others in that theres the good and bad amongst us. Am a Somali- Australian. And As God is my witness I had just come home from an 10 hour shift at work (constructions) amd stil wearing work clothes as I write this reply to you. My point is that Somali people are like all oyhers5. Sorry of you've only seen a things that angered you bro. God Bless.
Talking about Islam in Africa: You should talk about Somalia and Ethiopia where Islam reached before the prophet SAW and the sahabas migrated to Madina. For it's reason its the first Muslim Hijra. But Make the title of this beautiful documentary as "Islam in North Africa" it has a rich history with the great Sahabi 'Amr Bin Aas' The Conqueror of Egypt RA
@Crow29Darkness your understanding of it is twisted If u can't understand go to a TRUE Muslim scholar and they will surely help u Islam is not something u can understand at first glance
Hey what do you think about what Zeinab said? From what I know about our history Islam first began in East Africa. In Ethiopia of today to be exact. And that's as a result of the Arabs migration to Al Habasha after they were being pursued by the non muslim Arabs. From what I heard Somalia was one of the first countries to become Muslim even before the people of Makkah accepted Islam. Thinking about it now it completely makes sense cause if you think about how can they get to Ethiopia without passing Somalia? So it'd make sense for Somalia to be one of the first countries to accept Islam.
I am a Muslim but have very poor knowledge about African Muslim countries. Being a student of History I enjoyed the video. Research work and explanations were provided in a better way. Interestingly Zainab Badawi was also able to speak Arabic. Although some important African countries were ignored altogether, in the overall perspective, it's a good video. I am also grateful to Zeinab Badawi who disclosed a secret about Fatamides. I have absolutely no idea that the Fatamides were Shiites and they constructed great mosques which at present are under Sunni control. The division between Muslims as a Sunni and Shia is the most unfortunate aspect of Islam. Islam is the simple, graceful, practical, and easily understandable religion in the world. EQUALITY is the hallmark of Islam. Once again I am grateful to BBC the services which are/were rendered in the shape of this documentary.
Thank you Zeinab for acknowledging that we North Africans are not separated from the African world and are just Arabs.. We are Africans who speak Arabic. Bless you and much love to my African brothers and sister
Well, you might speak Arabic, but there are millions of North Africans who speak Amazigh. And YOU should know that, but you obviously chose to ignore it.
Pervert Pedophile Prophet imagine being that sad in your life to have a username like that, i hope allah guides u the right path bc it seems like u need it
@@girlmuse_ Well, if only you could use the logic you were made with. You see how sad your Pedophile Prophet Muhammad was. The name is a reminder for the few sensible people who still think not zombies who don't. Allah was just the alter ego of Muhammad to get away with all sorts of perverted acts of his. Hadith حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ سَبْعٍ وَبَنَى بِهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعٍ وَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً . It was narrated that: Abdullah said: "The Prophet married Aishah when she was seven years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine, and he passed away when she was eighteen." Sahih (Darussalam) English : Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1877 Arabic : Book 9, Hadith 1951 Sunan Ibn Majah
Pervert Pedophile Prophet hahaha it’s always the same argument by sad low lives like u, let me drop some knowledge on your dumbass, They point out that, in seventh-century Arabia, adulthood was defined as the onset of puberty. (This much is true, and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême.) Interestingly, of the many criticisms of Muhammad made at the time by his opponents, none focused on Aisha's age at marriage.According to this perspective, Aisha may have been young, but she was not younger than was the norm at the time. Other Muslims doubt the very idea that Aisha was six at the time of marriage, referring to historians who have questioned the reliability of Aisha's age as given in the saying. In a society without a birth registry and where people did not celebrate birthdays, most people estimated their own age and that of others. Aisha would have been no different. What's more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being six.In addition, some modern Muslim scholars have more recently cast doubt on the veracity of the saying, or hadith, used to assert Aisha's young age. In Islam, the hadith literature (sayings of the prophet) is considered secondary to the Qur'an. While the Qur'an is considered to be the verbatim word of God, the hadiths were transmitted over time through a rigorous but not infallible methodology. Taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19. and if it was true that he was a pedophile wouldn’t he have only married a bunch of young girls? instead of women? y’all islamophobes only like to focus on aisha and pick on her and start making really offensive claims and being disrespectful and thinks it’s freedom of speech, get a grip and get a life instead of hating on a the best walking man on earth according to many universities and scholars bc u seem sad asf
ybzuoiun ygzh xintyawmade Bilal was not Habasha. He was Nilotic who was adopted by the Abyssinians. Abyssinians also rule parts of Arabia under the Axum empire
@ybzuoiun ygzh xintyawmade Bilal was Nilotic and not habhesh. That term is misused by arabs to refer to all of black africans but clearly isn't accurate.
The ending got me so sentimental. It was like a fair well and a strong message to the world. I am proud of being African, this series made me more proud. Thank you Zeinab 💙
Islam is all about the caliphate and sultans, Islam was forced upon the African people, if you didn't except it then you would die. Many Africans accepted the faith just to stay alive, because before the prophet muhammad there was no Islam and the Africans knew spirituality.

@@thefaceofanangel2402 omg you are in every comment, i really feel sorry for you, you really have nothing more interesting in life other than spending hours on hate, really, that's pathetic and sad
@19th October , You bring up very good points. Personally, after spending hundreds and hundreds of hours researching World History and African History, in particular, I've reached an impasse and a point of neutrality. Throughout mankind's history, one group of people have always conquered another group or groups of people to "expand the Empire," for wealth creation, etc. And when people were conquered, they had no choice but to assimilate to the dominant culture or be killed for their resistance. The language we're communicating in, English, is another example (in addition to your example on Arabic). Unfortunately, it's not true that ALL African ethnic groups (there are more than 3,000 of them) lived peacefully either. Before European Colonialism in Africa (late 19th Century), there was no collective identity among the indigenous groups in Africa of being "Black" or "African" for that matter. Each ethnic group identified themselves by their own ethnicity (this is where we get so-called "tribalism"), had their own kingdoms, history, culture, customs, etc. In other words, there was no unified consensus of being "African" or "Black" as it is today. These are relatively new identities in Africa. Africans didn't use racial identifiers such as "Black," "White," "Brown," etc. to describe other human beings. These racial categories were invented by racist European scientists and propagated by European elites, clergy, and nobility to champion their goals of world supremacy which resulted in the subjugation of other people or "savages" as Europeans would call them. But wars between ethnic groups in Africa also occurred for many of the same reasons wars occurred in other places in the world. Only difference is that the wars and imperialistic ideals didn't extend beyond the African continent as it did in Europe.

No mention of Ethiopia, no mention of Somalia, no mention of Sudan, also portraying ancient Berbers as pale European looking people, even though it took hundreds of years to look that way. This doc is deceiving in so many ways
Jimmy Crack Corn in the early days of Islam the prophet feared for the lives of his companions and told them to migrate to Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia Eritrea Somalia) first black person to embrace Islam was Bilal from Abysinia. In northern Somalia there is a mosque with two Qiblas one facing Jerusalem and one face makkah. Prophet Mohamed was praying towards Jerusalem when he was in Madinah. So that tells you East Africa was more connected to Hijaz (today Saudi Arabia). 1400 years ago maybe Saudi Arabia was part of Africa and North Africa was part of Europe who knows but one thing without a doubt is that North Africans embraced Islam way after the West Africans. could someone please tell this lady she got it all wrong
sam bulbul Fast forward today and see how they are treating East Africans in Arabia, just goes to show you how much they appreciate Africa. Just a few years an Arab Muslim cut off the head of his African Muslim maid, NO OUTRAGE IN THE ARAB/MUSLIM WORLD!!!
sam bulbul Yiu guys always talk about Bilal, and LEAVE OUT THE FACT HE WAS A SLAVE!!!!!! AND it's hard to believe a SLAVE HAD A CHOICE TO "EMBRACE" OR DEVIDE THEIR OWN FUTURES. IT WAS ONLY TILL HE CONVERTED HE WAS GRANTED SOME FREEDOMS!!
Jimmy Crack Corn Arab Bedouins used to bury their daughters alive before Islam it’s called the era of Jahilia or Ignorance they were pagans but Islam uplifted women and gave them rights and through Islam Arabs became civilized and gave birth to the golden age of Islam civilization when the rest of Europe was in dark ages. The reason I mentioned Bilal it’s because he’s a historic figure and a good example of what Islam is. he was a slave at the time and he chose Islam against all odds, he was tortured by his captors because of what he chose but instead he kept his religion. Racism has no place in Islam just because some few ignorant Arabs are racist doesn’t mean in any form or shape they represent islam whatsoever
Jimmy Crack Corn Israel are doing the same to African who is their background was even Jews and deporting them back to Africa according BBC (click the link👇🏾)so don’t blame few ignorant Arab to Islam plz. There is no racism in Islam instead Islam is only the religion that United everyone like you can see in Makkah every year more than 3-4-5 Million with different cultures, countries, and color www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43619833

Donato Marcello Radice the Arabs did not colonize nice try though, what they did is spread a religion and labor work which they did trade for,Africans still had land, family, home kept their names if they converted and choose to do so. Colonization is a whole different ball game which is also a form of slavery they did that on ppls soil and off it, ripping families apparent, depleting Africans resources (FYI Arabs Muslims traded not steal educate yourself) which not what the Europeans did they stole okay get it right. So next time you try to school a Muslim Africans who descend from these very story think again. This is a BBC documentary you think they won’t try and twist it to their advantage 🙄
This documentary isn't really a depiction of the true history of islam in africa or the islamic way. It's more of orientalist narrative with envaded, destroyed, demolished and then the people she interviews will say the opposite like the nubian professor who said the south nubians invaded the Egyptians to help the Christians but they signed a an agreement and overtime accepted islam. She also only portrayed the places of fighting but not the ones that war peaceful as always Europeans with the camera. East Africans took islam to Maldives and southeast Asia. Zeinab bedawi(nomad) badaw aan Barbara, Asmara or Zeila arak.
Islam in Sudan begun from the south east near the border with Ethiopia not from the north , the first islamic kingdom was pure black and it was called black sultanate . The nubians kingdoms in the north used to sell black slaves to the rest of the world and they were ally with the Roman . The spread of Islam stopped the two Christians kingdoms (Nubia & Axum) from selling millions black slaves .

Talking about Islam in Africa: You should talk about Somalia and Ethiopia where Islam reached before the prophet SAW and the sahabas migrated to Madina. For it's reason its the first Muslim Hijra.

@Ahsan Fiaz I'm so sorry. It's a full of bull shits.
Gang gang 🇸🇴☺.
Hey what do you think about what Zeinab said? From what I know about our history Islam first began in East Africa. In Ethiopia of today to be exact. And that's as a result of the Arabs migration to Al Habasha after they were being pursued by the non muslim Arabs. From what I heard Somalia was one of the first countries to become Muslim even before the people of Makkah accepted Islam. Thinking about it now it completely makes sense cause if you think about how can they get to Ethiopia without passing Somalia? So it'd make sense for Somalia to be one of the first countries to accept Islam.
I am a Muslim but have very poor knowledge about African Muslim countries. Being a student of History I enjoyed the video. Research work and explanations were provided in a better way. Interestingly Zainab Badawi was also able to speak Arabic. Although some important African countries were ignored altogether, in the overall perspective, it's a good video. I am also grateful to Zeinab Badawi who disclosed a secret about Fatamides. I have absolutely no idea that the Fatamides were Shiites and they constructed great mosques which at present are under Sunni control. The division between Muslims as a Sunni and Shia is the most unfortunate aspect of Islam. Islam is the simple, graceful, practical, and easily understandable religion in the world. EQUALITY is the hallmark of Islam. Once again I am grateful to BBC the services which are/were rendered in the shape of this documentary.

@@girlmuse_
Well, if only you could use the logic you were made with. You see how sad your Pedophile Prophet Muhammad was. The name is a reminder for the few sensible people who still think not zombies who don't. Allah was just the alter ego of Muhammad to get away with all sorts of perverted acts of his.
Hadith
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ بِنْتُ سَبْعٍ وَبَنَى بِهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعٍ وَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً .
It was narrated that:
Abdullah said: "The Prophet married Aishah when she was seven years old, and consummated the marriage with her when she was nine, and he passed away when she was eighteen."
Sahih (Darussalam)
English : Vol. 3, Book 9, Hadith 1877
Arabic : Book 9, Hadith 1951
Sunan Ibn Majah
Pervert Pedophile Prophet hahaha it’s always the same argument by sad low lives like u, let me drop some knowledge on your dumbass, They point out that, in seventh-century Arabia, adulthood was defined as the onset of puberty. (This much is true, and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême.) Interestingly, of the many criticisms of Muhammad made at the time by his opponents, none focused on Aisha's age at marriage.According to this perspective, Aisha may have been young, but she was not younger than was the norm at the time. Other Muslims doubt the very idea that Aisha was six at the time of marriage, referring to historians who have questioned the reliability of Aisha's age as given in the saying. In a society without a birth registry and where people did not celebrate birthdays, most people estimated their own age and that of others. Aisha would have been no different. What's more, Aisha had already been engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad, suggesting she had already been mature enough by the standards of her society to consider marriage for a while. It seems difficult to reconcile this with her being six.In addition, some modern Muslim scholars have more recently cast doubt on the veracity of the saying, or hadith, used to assert Aisha's young age. In Islam, the hadith literature (sayings of the prophet) is considered secondary to the Qur'an. While the Qur'an is considered to be the verbatim word of God, the hadiths were transmitted over time through a rigorous but not infallible methodology. Taking all known accounts and records of Aisha's age at marriage, estimates of her age range from nine to 19. and if it was true that he was a pedophile wouldn’t he have only married a bunch of young girls? instead of women? y’all islamophobes only like to focus on aisha and pick on her and start making really offensive claims and being disrespectful and thinks it’s freedom of speech, get a grip and get a life instead of hating on a the best walking man on earth according to many universities and scholars bc u seem sad asf

@@thefaceofanangel2402 omg you are in every comment, i really feel sorry for you, you really have nothing more interesting in life other than spending hours on hate, really, that's pathetic and sad
@19th October , You bring up very good points. Personally, after spending hundreds and hundreds of hours researching World History and African History, in particular, I've reached an impasse and a point of neutrality. Throughout mankind's history, one group of people have always conquered another group or groups of people to "expand the Empire," for wealth creation, etc. And when people were conquered, they had no choice but to assimilate to the dominant culture or be killed for their resistance. The language we're communicating in, English, is another example (in addition to your example on Arabic). Unfortunately, it's not true that ALL African ethnic groups (there are more than 3,000 of them) lived peacefully either. Before European Colonialism in Africa (late 19th Century), there was no collective identity among the indigenous groups in Africa of being "Black" or "African" for that matter. Each ethnic group identified themselves by their own ethnicity (this is where we get so-called "tribalism"), had their own kingdoms, history, culture, customs, etc. In other words, there was no unified consensus of being "African" or "Black" as it is today. These are relatively new identities in Africa. Africans didn't use racial identifiers such as "Black," "White," "Brown," etc. to describe other human beings. These racial categories were invented by racist European scientists and propagated by European elites, clergy, and nobility to champion their goals of world supremacy which resulted in the subjugation of other people or "savages" as Europeans would call them. But wars between ethnic groups in Africa also occurred for many of the same reasons wars occurred in other places in the world. Only difference is that the wars and imperialistic ideals didn't extend beyond the African continent as it did in Europe.

No mention of Ethiopia, no mention of Somalia, no mention of Sudan, also portraying ancient Berbers as pale European looking people, even though it took hundreds of years to look that way. This doc is deceiving in so many ways
Jimmy Crack Corn in the early days of Islam the prophet feared for the lives of his companions and told them to migrate to Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia Eritrea Somalia) first black person to embrace Islam was Bilal from Abysinia. In northern Somalia there is a mosque with two Qiblas one facing Jerusalem and one face makkah. Prophet Mohamed was praying towards Jerusalem when he was in Madinah. So that tells you East Africa was more connected to Hijaz (today Saudi Arabia). 1400 years ago maybe Saudi Arabia was part of Africa and North Africa was part of Europe who knows but one thing without a doubt is that North Africans embraced Islam way after the West Africans. could someone please tell this lady she got it all wrong
sam bulbul Fast forward today and see how they are treating East Africans in Arabia, just goes to show you how much they appreciate Africa. Just a few years an Arab Muslim cut off the head of his African Muslim maid, NO OUTRAGE IN THE ARAB/MUSLIM WORLD!!!
sam bulbul Yiu guys always talk about Bilal, and LEAVE OUT THE FACT HE WAS A SLAVE!!!!!! AND it's hard to believe a SLAVE HAD A CHOICE TO "EMBRACE" OR DEVIDE THEIR OWN FUTURES. IT WAS ONLY TILL HE CONVERTED HE WAS GRANTED SOME FREEDOMS!!
Jimmy Crack Corn Arab Bedouins used to bury their daughters alive before Islam it’s called the era of Jahilia or Ignorance they were pagans but Islam uplifted women and gave them rights and through Islam Arabs became civilized and gave birth to the golden age of Islam civilization when the rest of Europe was in dark ages. The reason I mentioned Bilal it’s because he’s a historic figure and a good example of what Islam is. he was a slave at the time and he chose Islam against all odds, he was tortured by his captors because of what he chose but instead he kept his religion. Racism has no place in Islam just because some few ignorant Arabs are racist doesn’t mean in any form or shape they represent islam whatsoever
Jimmy Crack Corn Israel are doing the same to African who is their background was even Jews and deporting them back to Africa according BBC (click the link👇🏾)so don’t blame few ignorant Arab to Islam plz. There is no racism in Islam instead Islam is only the religion that United everyone like you can see in Makkah every year more than 3-4-5 Million with different cultures, countries, and color

The basic tenet of Islam is to surrender absolutely to God, and to conduct life in accordance with the provisions of The Holy Al-Quran and the prescriptions of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and to inevitably get protection and happiness in this life and the next

I really love Africa
Excellent series Ms. Zeinab!! Thank you so much God bless you!!
Love from Pakistan for our brothers in Africa may Allah bless and protect u guys. We all are one from senegal to Brunei we are one ❤❤❤
I see a lot of sour Brits reminiscing the days when Britain had it's empire. It's a new world boys. So get ready lol
Britain still has control of its African Empire. It's just in a different form now.
@@kazs3299 you've never heard of independence?
@@kazs3299 Egypt too?
@SaRa get ready indeed greedy colonizer because Africans are awake and won’t take your crap any longer especially France and United Kingdom 😤🤬😠
Donato Marcello Radice the Arabs did not colonize nice try though, what they did is spread a religion and labor work which they did trade for,Africans still had land, family, home kept their names if they converted and choose to do so. Colonization is a whole different ball game which is also a form of slavery they did that on ppls soil and off it, ripping families apparent, depleting Africans resources (FYI Arabs Muslims traded not steal educate yourself) which not what the Europeans did they stole okay get it right. So next time you try to school a Muslim Africans who descend from these very story think again. This is a BBC documentary you think they won’t try and twist it to their advantage 🙄
This documentary isn't really a depiction of the true history of islam in africa or the islamic way. It's more of orientalist narrative with envaded, destroyed, demolished and then the people she interviews will say the opposite like the nubian professor who said the south nubians invaded the Egyptians to help the Christians but they signed a an agreement and overtime accepted islam. She also only portrayed the places of fighting but not the ones that war peaceful as always Europeans with the camera. East Africans took islam to Maldives and southeast Asia. Zeinab bedawi(nomad) badaw aan Barbara, Asmara or Zeila arak.
Islam in Sudan begun from the south east near the border with Ethiopia not from the north , the first islamic kingdom was pure black and it was called black sultanate .
The nubians kingdoms in the north used to sell black slaves to the rest of the world and they were ally with the Roman .
The spread of Islam stopped the two Christians kingdoms (Nubia & Axum) from selling millions black slaves .
Yeah,I notice that,her information is totally different and weird,I guess most of English men they want only hear what they want to hear,and BBC do it.
@@essamal-rahmani5703and the funny part is Jesus was middleeastern making Christianity and Arab religion 2 if Islam is an Arab religion
@kulow Chamberlain I'm a Maldivian, we have some sources that claims Islam to the Maldives came from East Africa with some convincing evidence. However this is not the dominant narrative which points towards a North African and Persian export. Mind providing me with any sources you have that discusses an East African export of Islam to the Maldives? I'm very interested
@@OsmanAli-sh6kr Islam also facilitated that selling of millions of Africans, even up today.
That good....

35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Thank you Zeinab Bedawi...This is great!
This series is absolutely wonderful. I didn’t have the opportunity to learn this is school. Thank you for this series. We are literally on every part of the world.
The documentary missed covering many Islamic countries in Africa
And how the arabs destroyed African culture and raplaces it with their own like islam.
@@ardianxh we are not arabs we just speak it bcuz of islam
In Central Africa , we chased Arabs when they tried to bring their Islamic.
@@mbakunkasa3784 You chased Arabs that does not sound very Christian like. I am African American and Algerian Arab so I guess you would chase me also. Christian Arabs, Jewish Arabs and lost Africans that sold their people out were behind transatlantic slave trade so why you or your we chase them out? Why did your people not chase the Europeans out of Central Africa?
@@mbakunkasa3784 Somalis and Omanis used to raid deep into CAR and Congo for slaves, i dont think they were preaching to you guys. CAR os half muslim now and totally destroying the Christian militias now.
What a powerful content with diversity. Alhumdulilah
Halal Traveller what is halal travel? Do you look for places that before people are killed a prayer is said to allah? Just wondering
Excellent educational videos. Excellent presentation and research. Many thanks to everyone, Zainab Badawi, BBC and others.

justice Q5 ' that’s dumb as fuck
justice Q5 ' arabs are our people because of mindset like you the ummah is messed up
@justice Q5 ' I might agree with some of your points but I do not support the negativity.....arabs are Muslims ....so they are technically our brothers and sisters
@justice Q5 ' yeah I do get what u saying but let's blam blame ourselves before them .....
ARABS ARE AFRICANS .. ARABIC LANGUAGE IS AN AFRICAN LANGUAGE .. GOOGLE IT

Prophet Mohammed send four message to four big kings around the world ( king of Rome king of Persians king of Habasha(Ethiopia) and King of (Gebt) Egypt )
Then King of Habasha and Egypt accept those message and King of Rome he accept and same not accept he has problems with his friends in law and last one King of Persians reject and not accept this message.. Sorry my English not good 😅 it's interesting to know about those four messages and four kings.
This documentary is showing nothing about Islam. Just showing African culture
Documentary about Islam in Africa but forgets to mention Somalia 🤦♂️
Somalia is the same as most of East Africa. Plus it's very dangerous because of extremism.
@@adrianalainez8499 ,
What on Earth does extremism in certain parts of Somalia today..have to do with the history of Islam in Africa? What a useless comment, it has no relevance to the subject we are discussing, no relevance to the RUclips video and no relevance to the original comment you replied to.
Nice
Rich in information in a word. Thanks Zainab badwai for this wonderful & long waited episode.
It is a pity that some Africans are proud of bowing down 5 times each day to an Arab black stone! I would be happy bowing to an African stone than an Arab stone.
I am a proudly African ☪️ Muslim.

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
1John 2:22-23
It's such a sensation when you can understand all the languages spoken in this documentary (Swahili expected) without looking at the subtitles.
I love my African brothers💚
You are a proud of all the Sudanese people zainab 🇸🇩 🇸🇩 🇸🇩 🇸🇩
