The Nigerian Muslim Legend who founded a Caliphate

[@hmaina0]

As a muslim living in hausa land, I assure that this information is correct. Sheikh Danfodiyo was a blessing to us sent by Allah, his contribution to islam can be seen and felt all over modern day northern Nigeria, because to this day there are more 50 million muslims in northern nigeria alone who Allah has blessed with his deen as a result of Danfodiyo's call to Islam. May Allah bless the sheikh and the onepath network for making this amazing video.

Sir, Boko haram is the creation of the descendants of Dan Fodio. This has brought nothing but misfortune to the Hausa countries. I am part of the descendants of the victims of the crimes of Dan Fodio and his children. My grandparents fled Nigeria to cross Chad and go to Mecca. A one-way trip to the Hausa countries. if you see or hear that the Hausa are in several countries neighboring or not Nigeria it is mainly because of the crimes of Dan Fodio and his people. They were looking for land for the Peuhl driven out of Mali and Guinea-Conacry. They found a welcome among the Hausa but very quickly they seized the strongholds, the lands, the fields, the palaces of the Muslim kings. In theory, is jihad against Muslims? I ask you to do a little research on this slice of history. It was a bloody time! As you speak English I ask you to follow a lady called Kaltoum Alimbé Jitami on Instagram or Facebook to hear another version of this sad story from Dan Fodio.

Masha'ALLAH, Thank you so much❤

Can a video be made on Muslims that mix pagan rituals with Islamic teaching. I have known a couple African friends that oral tradition have been passed on to them and claim it to be true Islam. I’m sure this happens in many corners in the world. I believe it is very important to shed light on such topic. You have touched briefly on this subject. Thanks for this informative channel❤

[@viewkallo]

not all Hausa mixed pegan with islam, there are hausa who practice paganism purely, without mixing it with islam, u can find them in some parts of Kano, katsina and Niger

[@riab3591]

@@viewkallo I never said “ALL” that would be me generalizing. Unfortunately there are Muslims that mix pagan practices with the Muslim tradition. This is usually orally passed on to only boys/men, these practices are claimed to be true Islamic tradition. I thought it would be nice to have a documentary that highlights that people need to be aware of Pagan/ superstitious practices that are claimed to be Islamic traditions/ rituals.

@@riab3591 i will share some of d pure hausa who practice only peganism

[@riab3591]

@@viewkallo You’re missing my point. I’m aware of that people practice paganism and all kind of things, that’s fine May Allah guide them. What blew my mind is finding out that Muslims mix all kinds of rituals and claim it to be Islam.

Wow this was a lot to take in, I think I'm gonna need to come back and watch this again! amazing work OnePath. also, how is this even possible?! he even died at the same age s the prophet PBUH. subhanAllah!

[@AmmarB]

This is such an inspiring story that not only strikes me as similar to the story of the prophet (SAWS), but also serves as an idea of what we need in our modern world.

[@dhun-noorain]

Subhaan Allaah, I thought his story would only remain known to us Nigerians, Cameroonians and some other West African countries. Masha'Allaah, may Allaah have mercy upon him and revive the ummah across the globe. Little history here, my tribesmen who were at that time traditionalists or pagans defeated the invading Sokoto forces in the middle belt region of Nigeria. Despite defeating the Muslims, my tribesmen later became Muslims, Alhamdulillaah. I am a generational Muslim as well which proves that our ancestors became Muslims not long after they defeated the Muslims.

[@abdoudangabomoussa6600]

The same Albany Zaria said that Islam came to Hausa lands since the beginning of Islam. So how can Dan Fodio, who learned the Koran in Gobir from Hausa scholars, still do jihad? This falsification of Hausa history is ridiculous.

@@Sinceresadiq Forget that blind tribalistic person. All they have is conjecture and lies. Their hate for Islam and fulanis is hidden behind tribalism. They just spew lies and hatred against Dan fodio and the fulanis. Everything that occurred they view it through their tribal lense.
