HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- In this episode Zeinab Badawi travels to several countries and looks at the early spread of Islam in Africa and how many Africans practise to this day a mystic, Sufi form of the religion.
She shows how not only Islam but Arab culture came to influence a large part of the continent, particularly in the north.
And she charts the rise of the powerful Islamic dynasties of North Africa, that built magnificent monuments, mosques and empires, including a part of southern Europe and who helped determine the path of this part of the continent.

I'm from ethiopia,islam enters in ethiopia from the life time of prophet muhammed(s a w).
But why Ethiopia is not muslim country ? 99% of the population of north african countries are muslim
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.
You mean enteres Eritrea and Tigray
@@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

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

😊 And Yet yall still treat your fellow "Africans like animals" cough cough deporting em but yea still african
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.

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".
It was arabs that brought Islam to Africa periods.
@@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.
Abdisalam Farah totally agree with you mate...east africans were muslims when the meccans were pagans...they converted on the first hijra💯
The Fulanis played a massive role in bringing Islam to West Africa
Selase Du exactly
Islam's first azan calling bilal(r), he is coming from africa.
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.
Kish B. He was a slave that was later freed
Africs have Islam but arba is riecst
@@lalayes5680 yeah everybody is racist man unfortunately
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.

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.

@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.

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.

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

This is how Islam came to Africa, which was by Arab migration

The focus was on culture overall and not necessarily the Islamic tradition across Africa. Super informative but a little disappointing given that wasn't my expectation or what I was looking for

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

@@entername_ Somalis are some of the earliest Muslims on this planet. There are cities and towns in modern day Somalia that became Muslims before Medina and there's a Masjid in Somalia where the Qibla still faces al quds
Thank you! Islam come to Ethiopia first?
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.

Man I have never been true and relaxed knowing I gotta solve my shit and stop blaming or bagging someone above to carry my baggage
People bring religious is just lazy, get a job and earn a living start living travel the world try new things basically get a life
The story about the Berber queen being killed for not accepting Islam asking her sons to convert so they wouldn’t kill them is so sad.
That's islam for you and their true face!
Great job Zeinab! Really enjoying the History of Africa series. Africa has a very rich history and is very diverse indeed!

@@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.
Nice documentary. Please, make this a serie and cover the other parts of Africa (West, East, Center and South)
It is. Series

Maybe you didn't watch all the episodes. They cover many regions and many countries. They can't cover every single country however.
It is? Duh! Islam is not only found in the north.

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.
Salaam and peace to all the people in the world from every country, every color and every religion 🤗
Not ONE mention of slavery. Very BBC dishonest.
Touch of professionalism with unparallel standard, once again Aunty Zeinab Badawi have delivered a master piece... Thank you for this, it's time for Africa to adopt her own religion and culture, Let Arab be Arab, let Christians be Christians and let Africa be Africa too...

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 🙄
the reporter forgot that there is A mosque in Somalia which has two QIBLAH, which proves that islam reached Somalia when the islamic qiblah was al aqsa
This is true. Islam was in Africa from the beginning.
#Islam is a peaceful religion in the whole world.
Didn’t Arabs enslave Africans in the name of Allah during the Arab slave trade?
Ramadan mubarak to all Muslim ummah it doesn't matter how they practice it I happen to be sunny ❤️☝🏼🕊
This documentary is showing nothing about Islam. Just showing African culture
Facinated by this program. Living in the southern tip of Africa i so enjoyed the wonderful lands Zeinab has seen and spoken about and have had the privilege to travel to in North Africa.
What this documentary doesn't tell you is Islam had taken over North Africa through invasions, exactly the same way they conquered other regions. If the presenter of the documentary looked into her roots, she will find her ancestors were either forced into Islam or had to convert to survive among people who treated non muslim, the Dhimmis in horrific ways.
History in Africa before any Abrahamic Religions is also good too
@Abdul Taha aren't you muslim?
@Abdul Taha Wasnt there a lot of black magic idol worship and sacrifice to deities?
Abdul Taha how can you be muslim yet vouch for the one unforgiveable sin
Abdul Taha these people used to sacrifice BABIES sir. You cannot vouch for that
Abdul Taha even today albinos get hunted all over Africa for their bones to be used as magic potion. It’s sickening
I love my African brothers💚

Aslam o alikom all Muslims from Pakistan
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.
