Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, the white and attractive town located on the western shore of the Indian Ocean, is still the subject of erudite research and study to establish what part it has had in the historical events that have taken place over the centuries.
Since ancient times, scholars have worked with love and zeal to collect information and draw inductions for a less obscure and confused knowledge of the town.
The legend of Mogadishu, although not resistant to positive criticism, has a notable meaning and value as it does not represent, like legends in general, the almost exclusive product of the fervent and unbridled imagination of primitive peoples, but is often supported by memories of things material and historical facts such as to bring it largely closer to the exact history of the time.
The most authoritative religious people of Mogadishu say that, according to the oral tradition handed down, one night the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم appeared in a dream to Hill, the presumed founder of the Somalis, a venerated Saint, and recommended him to settle in the place where the ruins currently exist of Xamar Jajab (destroyed Xamar/Xamar in ruins).
