I plan on doing so as well as becoming the best I can in af-somali as well. Maybe learn some other languages like Oromo or Amharic to navigate the horn. I got big plans sxb

I'm learning about the ummayads through these guys

Highly recommend it

Course uses both arabic and English resources
Only $10 a month for ummayad course and 100 years of islamic history from 1924 to 2024

Tarikh al-Rusul wa'l muluk by al-Tabari. There is a translation in english, except there might be some weaknesses in the stories so be cautious.
