🔴 We should realise that Islam is part of Africa and that Black Africans are part of Islam. All of this may start when we actually realise that, before most Arabs even became Muslims, before Islam reached the Berbers of North Africa and the Turks in Central Asia, and that before Islam reached the Indian subcontinent, Black Africans were not only accepting Islam, they even produced the first Muslim king in its magnificent history.

🔴 For Black African Muslims, Islam is not something new at all? Do we even realise that Islam has been a part of Africa right from the beginning? Do we realise that the first Islamic community that settled in the African continent started spreading the religion years before the Islamic city-state of Madina even existed?

🔴 Islam came to Africa on the East African coast in around the 8th century. Like many religions, Islam spread through trade and contact with others.

🔴 Ancient Mali was the first Kingdom to truly adopt Islam. Mansa Musa was one of the most famous Muslim kings who did a huge pilgrimage to Mecca (the centre of Islam).

🔴 Islam was a popular choice for many African kings and their followers too. This is possibly because it offers a way of life and gives people guidance about wealth, morals and politics.

🔴 Islam introduced several types of writing and numerical systems to Africa. Weights and measures were also invented by the Muslim merchants. Muslim scholars also contributed to the study of African history by writing important works that are being used today to educate people about the past. These works demonstrated to the entire world how fascinating Africa’s history is, and how much occurred before the Europeans came in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, respectively.
