Adal was multicultural and it thrived as a Muslim sultanate. The closer people come to the deen the futher they go from ethnic nationalism. I do think it’s possible for somalis and oromo Muslims (aswell as other muslim Ethiopians excluding gurage) to become a single nation but there would be things we need to weed out. The main issue would be somalis wanting to expand into oromia and oromos wanting to expand into Somalia, both these ethnicities are extremely expansionist by nature and claim eachothers land. But with the deen we can twist this energy and direct it towards the evil foreigners or the evil amhara Christians that have been torturing us Muslims (regardless of ethnicity) for so long. I hope for a future where oromo Muslims and somali Muslims can form a single nation based on not ethnicity but the deen, look at Somalia today, a supposed ethno state that’s now a failed state. This would never happen with a nation built on the words of the almighty. Off topic but I believe most of you people fight battles that don’t exist, oromo nationalists and somali nationalists claim each others land but the oromos and the somalis that boarder eachother love eachother more than some of you love your fellow members of your respective ethnicity, the fact that the boarder regions are entirely bi lingual in both languages is more than enough evidence that there is definitely love there. I have oromo family, my mother is jidwaq and her brother is married to an arsi oromo women and my entire family cherish and respect her because as much as people futher us apart oromos and somalis are brothers that cannot be seperated, we boarder eachother from hararghe down to lake tana in kenya and there are entire clans that are a product of intermarriage between the 2 groups it hurts me seeing us fight when we could just unite on the basis of the deen that we both share. With the case of Christian oromos I genuinely don’t feel a bond with them and I feel like most of them would rather stay with their amhara fellow Christians anyway, if you go to Addis Ababa or other parts of shewa they don’t even consider themselves oromo first. This is all very unlikely and has many obstacles mainly “Ethiopia” and as much as I wouldn’t want to admit it, my country of somaliland is also an obstacle but if this does happen, I see a Muslim powerhouse in the horn forming that will shake the western world and will also be a beacon of hope to the Muslim world “two huge rival ethnic groups set aside their differences and unite on the basis of allahs words”. Makes me happy just thinking about it
