Somali Scholar - Uthman bin Ali Zayla'i (1342 A.D)

[MacrobianPrince]

Consisting of four volumes, it is known as the Tabayin al-Haqa’iq li Sharh Kanz al-Daqa’iq - single most authoritative text on the Hanafi school of Islam. He studied in Al-Azhar University

Somalis were Hanafis before

I often wonder what Somalis were doing in the Islamic golden age sometimes. You don't hear about it much, at least not in English sources very frequently. Although most of it was just Persians, I do wonder what we were doing at that time. Interesting find Walaal.

Proof of him actually being Somali, tho ?

Zeyla'i is an exclusively Somali Nisbah historically - His name itself is verification alone

Appreciate it to be honest I think the Islamic Golden age was in the 1500s to be honest Muslims completly ruled the Mediteranean and the middle East, Somalis ruled the entire horn and were trading Coffee internationally, the Hindi races were ruled by Muslims. Aside from the Iberians gaining independence the old world was almost completely ruled by Muslims.

Gradual conversion to islam, cities and towns popping up everywhere basically state building and small muslim kingdoms fighting for dominance, we barely anything about this period tho

To be honest its throughout the 15th century and not 16th, and somalis didnt go sell their coffee internationally they just shipped it to the arabian peninsula and the arabs would go on to spread it to mecca then to cairo then to constantinople

What’s up with you?

 

[MacrobianPrince]

That is international trade, and plus all coffee sold at that time period was exclusivly sold from Somali merchants, Yemeni didn't have there own strand of Coffee until way later and Europeans didn't start growing Coffee in the Americas until late 1600s
