Waaq (God) Waaq is the Somali word for God, and was synonymously used for the ancient Cushitic Sky God Waaq. According to Somali Legend Eebo lived in the Heavens and whenever the nomads successfully prayed for rain it was known as Barwaaqo (God's rain).Then Hubal was brought in, Heedhe Hoobalwa, Hoobalow Hilowle, Hoobaalayoow Heedhe are tradition songs where Hubal replaced Waaq, Somalis specially the Dir continue to compose songs for it. Ayaanle (Angels) The Ayaanle in Ancient Somalia were known as the good spirits and acted as mediators between God and humans. They were said to be bringers of luck and blessings. 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"). Amel Ali (Queen) Amel Ali was a legendary queen in ancient Somalia who is said to be the fastest woman in her time. Wiilwaal (King) Wiil Waal was a legendary king in ancient Somalia known for his bravery and skills in battle. Bucur Bacayr (King) Bucur Bacayr was a legendary king of the Yibirs in northern Somalia. Araweelo (Queen) Queen Araweelo was a legendary queen, who empowered women's rights, by making them stop their 'womanly' duties, which made the men realise their need for women. 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. He was eventually defeated and slain in battle by Biriir, when the latter found out about Habbad's tyranny. Biriir ina Barqo (Giant) Biriir ina Barqo was a legendary heroic giant in ancient Somalia known for his just rule and kindness. He lived in a cave called Shimbiraale (the cave of birds) and used to wear a heavy ring that no man could lift. He answered the pleas of those suffering under the rule of the giant called Habbad and defeated him in battle. He then united the two lands and ushered in a long period of peace. Qori ismaris ("One who rubs himself with a stick") Qori ismaris was a man who could transform himself into a "Hyena-man" by rubbing himself with a magic stick at nightfall and by repeating this process could return to his human state before dawn. Dhegdheer ('"One with long ears") Dhegdheer was a female cannibalistic demon who hunted in Somali forests. Her victims were usually wandering or lost children. Buuti(shape-shifting human/creature) Buuti was one of the children of Dhegdheer who risked her life to save the innocent villagers. She turned heroic when she saved the people but was forever cursed to be shape-shifting cannibalistic creature.

[@hamidsayyidsiraj1961]

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.

Good video. Some other points are that Imam Ahmed was an ethnic Somali of the Habr Magadle clan and born in Zeila. 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.

I’m not Surprised because majority of African Americans are ignorant about Africa n the only information they got about Africa is through churches which are influenced by Ethiopians.

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. Allah says speak the truth even if its against your people and family.

EMDNT (Futuh al-Habash) In 1529, Imam Ahmad's Adal troops defeated a larger Ethiopian contingent at the Battle of Shimbra Kure. The victory came at a heavy cost but it solidified the Somali forces' morale, providing proof that they could stand up to the sizable Ethiopian army.

[@hamidsayyidsiraj1961]

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.

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.

STOP LIES.... _ADAL_SULTANAT came after #IFAT_SULTANAT and SULTAN AHMED GUREY #ADAL_SULTANAT WAS #SOMALI from zeila THERE NO PLACE CALLED #ETHIOPIA at that Time ... AXUM OR ABYSSINIA ... YES and look the Map Of AXUM.. AND ABYSSINIA at that Time And NOW then you will understand for what I mean

Ahmed Gragn means Ahmed the left handed. Yes he is still remembered for destroying churches and monasteries and forcing people to convert

[@mohussein21]

The same with Emperor Amda Seyon the first , who is remembered for destroying Mosques, cities and forcing Muslims to convert or face death.

[@shroble6916]

@@mohussein21 thats the part people conveniently forget, the Muslims fought in self defense as the Ethiopian Christians were constantly trying to conquer the Muslims, not the other way around. Amde Seyon attacking Muslims is what caused Ahmed Gurey. They also conveniently ignore he was Somali and they were raiding Somali *Muslim* territory.

[@sarakunb621]

​@@shroble6916False. What you are conveniently forgetting is that Amda Seyon was the one acting in self defense, not the Muslims. Why did Amda Seyon destroy mosques in Ifat?? It was in retaliation for the Muslim leader Haqq ad Din who attacked Ethiopia and killed a man when he refused to convert to Islam. Muslims started the war.

[@Cz-zi3my]

@@Topagendadolla He was born in Zeila, which was and still is a Somali city and the records if him being extremely close to Somalis. Extremely high chance he was Somali.

[@Topagendadolla]

@@Cz-zi3my probably but he could have easily been an Turkish, arab, harrar or a different Somali clan that longer exists or has been absorbed. And to the point of the original poster. The Ethiopians followed the Portuguese because Ahmed was armed by the ottomans and Egyptians. The fact that Ethiopians stayed relatively Christian and also kept their traditional religion surrounded by powerful Muslim nations is a miracle.

[@Cz-zi3my]

@@Topagendadolla I really doubt he was either Turkish or Arab as Arab sources would have stated such and claim him and Turks didn’t ever settle in Zeila. Ibn Battute who visited Zeila a century or so prior to Adal/Abyssinia wars stated in his book that the people of Zeila majority dark skin shafi’i Muslims which rules out Turks or Arabs as they both aren’t Dark skinned, he also stated that the inhabitants spoke the same languge and had similar culture to the people of Mogadishu which he later visited. Also Hararis never lived in Zeila and the only other ethnicity that lived there in history were Afars.

[@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505]

@@Topagendadolla there is no such thing as harlta or harrir no tribe with that name exists either today or in any documented source, as for oromo we know they weren't even Muslim in the 1500s hence why Somalis called oromos Gaal Madow (black infidels), and all historians agree the oromo migration occurred in the late 1600s and brought migrating nomads from the border of Kenya and South Ethiopia, into the rest of the modern borders Ethiopia ...so how could oromos who were still in South Ethiopia during the 16th century, somehow have risen up the ranks of the Somali ruled (walashma sultans even in medieval harari Arabic documents, are cited as Somalis native to Zeila, even their Dir clan is mentioned in these sources) Adal sultanate? Makes no sense

[@Khaled91]

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.

[@beomgyuniverse4067]

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 misleading and untruthful documentary never repeat such kinds of videos b/c you sited from a biased sources. Algazi didn't burn churches and killed prisoners. He tried to defend the influence over Muslim Ethiopians and he did the right thing

[@mrhassanali3297]

You are right. 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.

You're misunderstanding. This video is from the perspective of the Christian Ethiopians. The reality was that the Christians were actually attacking the Muslims and Imam Ahmed Al Ghazi was very good at defending the Muslims. Think about it. In the video, he says that Imam Ahmed became the leader due to his military acumen before his first offensive on Ethiopia. That means that he was gaining recognition for his talents because of his defensive operations. This war wasn't about religion but about defeating the oppressors.
