History Of  Islam

in the text of the Quran the book of
Scripture of the Muslims in a chapter
called certain Nahal the chapter of the
B in verse 36 Almighty Allah reveals to
us and certainly we sent to every nation
a messenger saying worship Allah and
avoid false deities of the people who were
some whom Allah guided and of them were
those upon whom the era was decreed so
travels to the earth and see what was
the end of those who denied the truth
in this verse, we see a text that gives
us an understanding shared by Muslims
all over the planet, the prophets came to
Asia to Africa to Europe and the
Americas and we learned from the
original sources of Islam that what was
common in the early peoples of the
the planet was the concept of Tawheed the
concept of unity and the oneness of God
in Mandarin Chinese the people expressed
this toe heed by saying Shang T the
creator of the heavens and the earth
Honiton of ancient Egypt taught the
belief in one God many say that he was
teaching about the power behind the Sun
and he created a revolution in ancient
Egypt in Africa all throughout the
African continent the concept of the
great cosmic spirit was shared by every
nation in Burundi the people of Burundi
in speaking about God say Amana when
they speak about the attributes of God
they say be subway he alone is worthy of
worship
they also say hobby mana only he truly
exists Habana mana only he does as he
wills the can of West Africa know God
as he who knows or sees all things
the Yoruba of West Africa say only God
is wise
the Bakongo of Central Africa says he is
made by no other and no one beyond him
is
in southern Africa, we find the Zulu
a nation who refer to the Creator as one
dolly the poster people of southern
Africa Saito Mata and they add kotahi or
oom dolly and it becomes Kamata kotahi
which means in Arabic Allahu Akbar god
is the greatest and over everything the
Sioux two people in the South say, Rama
Sadie
which means he from whom comes light in
the Americas there are strong references
about the Cherokee Nation a strong
nation of people who had large cities
with over a hundred thousand people and
they were known for their strong belief
in the great spirit, information has come
to us that from the texts or the oral
traditions of the elders when the
Cherokees would begin their prayers they
would say Ya Allah and so we find in the
Aboriginal people in Australia in South
America in Europe and throughout the
world the concept of the heat is found
everywhere so when the last Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings are upon him
appeared he did not bring a new religion
but he brought out of the people what
already existed in them and that is toe
the heat he was the seal of the prophets the
finality of the messengers and it is
reported during his last major sermon in
Arafah brought to the people a strong
the message of the oneness of God
he also spoke to them and brought them
the understanding that there should be
no more economic oppression and that
usury and interest is canceled he
confirmed the rights of women he broke
down the roots of racism and he
established the Quran and the Sunna his
way and his tradition as the keys to
success
he sent his followers in all directions
and it is reported that most of the
Sahaba radiyaallahu anhu ajma'in died
outside of Arabia when we look at
the history we find that no other religion
no other ideology no conquering general
no people spread so rapidly and so far
within 100 years Islam had reached the
The Atlantic Ocean on the west and China and
the Pacific in the East the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him
brought a message that was so clear and
was so simple to the people that they
were able to grasp this oneness they
were able to relate to the prophets and
messengers who had come from the
beginning of time and so Islam spread
rapidly and people of all colors of all
nationalities embraced this religion
from the 6th century people of all
classes the rich and the poor male and
female came into this faith in large
numbers and Islam established itself not
only in Arabia but it established itself
in Asia in Africa in Europe and we also
have proof that it was even in the
Americas the Prophet peace be upon him
said verily Allah showed me the expanses
of the earth
I saw the east and the west and he
informed me that the possessions of my
the nation would reach as far as I saw and
so the Muslims left the Arabian
Peninsula and continued to travel deep
into the East and deep into the West
they went into the north and deep down
into the south
his Salam spread so rapidly within
hundred years that historians up until
today are baffled at how human beings
could carry a message through so many
different climates and through so many
different nations but if we look at the
divine
the purpose if we look at the essence of
what was really happening the factors
behind this, we can see how it is very
logical that Islam could have spread
number one in the concept of toe heat
that the Muslims were carrying the focus
was always upon unity the focus was up
was upon inclusion and when toe heat is
being used it refers not only to the
oneness of God but also the oneness of
the humanity that we are all from one human
family toe he'd also include the
oneness or the unity of knowledge and
the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
was reported to have said knowledge is
the lost property of the believer
anywhere he finds it he is the most
deserving of it and so with this Muslims
benefited from the knowledge of the
ancient Egyptians
of the ancient Assyrians the ancient
Indians in the ancient Chinese the
ancient Europeans they brought together
knowledge from all over the planet Earth
another issue of importance is the very
nature of the language they were
speaking and the language of the final
revelation the Arabic language is a
the language that is structured in such a
the way that it has an enormous vocabulary
and when we speak about many basic
concepts there are many ways to express
Your Arabic also gives the speaker
the ability to use the throat the palate
all parts of the mouth so when the Arabs
left the Arabian Peninsula they were
able to learn languages rapidly because
the whole of their mouth and their
throats and every part of their speaking
organ
was usable another issue that affects
the rapid spread of Islam is the Arabian
horse the Arabian steed is the fastest
horse in the world not only was it a
fast horse but also it is a
high-spirited horse and it gave Muslims
the ability to travel long distances in
a short period of time
another important animal was the camel
with the camel, Muslims were able to
cross vast deserts and able to reach
lands that were almost impossible to
reach in the past along with this the
Arabs had mastered the seas it is
reported by historians that one of the
companions of the Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him walked by a banoffee radi
Allahu han reached the Atlantic ocean
and when he reached the ocean he looked
across and he said if I knew there was
the land across you I would take this
the message he also went south and he
reached Lake Chad the Muslims went down
into the East African coast they found a
base of operations called Makkah - ah it
was the base of the Persian Emperor and
so they called it Mogadishu they came in
- in a set of islands where the moon was
very bright and so they called them Jews
Oh Ultima the islands of the moon and
now we know Jews Allah , as Comoros
Islands Musa even baked developed a
colony on the East African coast and so
Musa Eibon bag becomes Mozambique
Yusuf Ali develops a colony and Yusuf
Ali becomes sofala the Arabs went into
the Indian Ocean and using the Dow they
were moving their boats with what they
called Hubble and Hubble today is the
cable
they used astrolabes and when they
came into the Indian Ocean they found a
season of rains a Muslim of great rain
so motion becomes monsoons they wrote
books of information travel guides to
help people in the season they called it
almanach today we call it almanacs they
continued on an Arabic began to spread
and influence people so much that by the
year 1930 Walt Taylor recorded
approximately 1000 words in the English
language of Arabic origin this was in
his book Arabic words in English
Muslims made a profound impact on the
world for over a thousand years between
the 7th and the 17th century one of the
strangest reports is a book describing
the earth describes different
continents it was written in the year
820 ad the author of this text was
muhammad IBN musa el-hawa is me he set
up a series of maps one of the maps
contained the Indian Ocean and another
surprisingly enough contained the
Pacific Ocean the Arabic writing on the
top reads as follows
it says this map shows a large area of
land surrounded by dark stormy seas you
don't know its beginning from its end
actually
el-Hawa Disney was writing about
Australia and this is the oldest map of
Australia in existence it is now in this
Strasburg library in Europe and by the
10th century another famous map maker
Abu is hawk alpha DC and esta Hadi in
the year 934 had drawn a map showing not
only the details of the north coast of
Australia but he also showed details of
Japan between Kobe and Tokyo to add to
this even the ancient Aboriginal people
of Australia recorded the journeys of
early Arab merchants and we find
writings drawn by Aboriginal people in
Australia that show two-masted Arab
dowse in caves on the stanley island in
princess charlotte bay this is in the
northern northern Queensland in
Australia and so Muslims were able to
travel to many parts of the planet
information has even come to the surface
that Muslims traveled across the Pacific
Ocean and they were able to reach
Islands a set of islands where there was
a lot of wind and so according to the
findings of a Harvard University
professor they called these islands Josa
al-hawa it was the island of a lot of
wind and so Gisele hawa becomes Hawaii
they find pearls
in one of the islands and in Arabic the
word for pearl is
in some pronunciations Loulou and so on
the map it points and it says Hana
Loulou today we say Honolulu it is
shocking to find in ancient maps so many
Arabic words even in the United States
we find the word Mecca and Medinah used
over and over again on one journey we
descended into the southern part of
California and we found a city called
Mecca California and it had beautiful
date palm trees and it had some relics
and and some evidence of the presence of
Muslims and Arabic speaking people but
the people were gone and the relics and
the name remained similarly we find
along the coastlines in Central America
we find Arabic names we find the
presence of Muslims coming from West
Africa when we travel into Brazil we
find the presence of Muslims we find
words like relief meaning a ghost or a
sidewalk being used in Brazil and Arabic
names we find even in the Caribbean
region a group of people who related to
themselves as being Arabic speaking
people who came from the coast of West
Africa and so in many parts of the world
we find the presence of Muslims and
Arabic speaking people this is a shock
for many historians because people are
still caught up with what appeared to be
the fact that Christopher Columbus
discovered America our reality is
something very different Christopher
Columbus bumped into America on his way
to India and it is reported in his
memoirs that he intended to meet the
Great Khan of India
his navigator Rodrigo de Triana could
speak the Arabic language he expected to
meet the great Han and he bumped into a
set of islands and his son eventually
went on to the mainland and what
happened after that was a genocide we
would like to look at history not only
from the point of view of Europe
but from the point of view of all of the
peoples of this planet these are some of
the untold stories from world history
these are some of the gems of wisdom
that we pray will bring about a world of
peace and understanding
