Islam in Africa Throughout History

Brought to us by the Ethiopian scholar Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami, Islam in Africa Throughout History chronicles three significant phases of Islam in Africa which helped shape the world. This classic manuscript begins with the courageous stance of the Abyssinian king an-Najashi, which shook Heraclius of Rome, defied the tribes of Makkah while influencing the kings of Oman, and even softened the hearts of Prophet Muḥammad’s staunchest adversaries. The second part recounts two waves of da’wah in the Arab merchants and the Sufis, both of which left a lasting imprint upon the continent.
