Zara Ya'qob Mentions Mogadishu

[killerxsmoke]

Mentions Makdishu when talking about a battle fought against him at Gomzet or Gomit in Dawaro by the Muslims on 25 dec 1445:
Badlay (ruler of Adal Sultanate 1432-45) for his (military) campains in 1445 (against Zara Ya'qob) had collected numerous levies, beginning with the house of Me'ala ( Bait Mala in N. Eritrea) up to Meqdush (Mogadishu)(all of whom) were allied with the people of Adal. Adel: was a medieval Sunni Muslim sultanate which was located in the Horn of Africa which flourished circa 1415 to 1577.


The sexual parts of those who had died (1) against the king were displayed in the camp of the king and were 40,000 in number. And the ones of which no sexual parts were found, who in the river, or when fleeing or on the roads died, and the ones who during flight were hid by spears, they were 110,000. Then Badlay had assembled many troops from Beta-Ma'ala up to Modadischo (Mogadishu), all Adel-allies. They calculated in their lands the numbers of those who had fallen and those who had been captured..........

As for the North, I do not think that they are Zaydis, but Rawafid

Kkk brothers let me explain. There were no Somali Zaidis, the Zaidis were Yemenis escaping Yemen as fugitives, welcomed to Somalia to live and fought under a Somali ruler.

There must have been religious tolerance for Zaydis, the Somalis were Shafici Muslims so the Zaydis were firstly their neighbours and secondly less of a problem than Shia Twelvers of Iran.

Also the death of Imam Yahya bin Hussein might have been only a few centuries after Hijra since Imam Yahya was the first Zaydi Imam that founded the modern state of Yemen. The author of that screenshot is just generalising the advent of Shia contact with Somalis.

The Northern Shi'ites were Zayidi as well.
Here Al Masudi says the peninsula of Berbera is inhabited by black Muslims whose Madhab is Zayidiyah & Shafi'iyah.

Zayidis are rawafid for they deny the legitimacy of the Caliphate of Abu Bakar, Umar, and Uthman radiyalahu anhumaa.

you're clarely wrong and people dont even know what or how rawafid term started. It was when the shia rebels came to Zaid Bin Ali zain alabdin and asked him to denounce Abu Bakr and Umar ra for them to join him. He responded with that Abu bakr and Umar were his father's (Imam Ali) closest friend and companion. They refused to aid him in his war against the ruler and thats when Zaid said "Leave you rawafid". thats why the followers of Zaid( Zaidis) are not considers as rawafid besides one sect of them called the jarowdiyah zaidis

 

[Abdalla]

Zayidis are rawafid for they deny the legitimacy of the Caliphate of Abu Bakar, Umar, and Uthman radiyalahu anhumaa.

They are not rawaafid, but they are Mu’tazillah. Classical Zaydis recognize the supremacy of Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman over Ali. In the first 3 centuries, you had Ahlu Sunnah that hold the opinion that Ali should be Caliph over Uthman ( opinion of Imam Ahmed, Awzaa’i and Sufyan Al-Thawri). And there were Shias that acknowledged that Uthman was better than Ali such as the Zaydis. This nuances disappeared over time and no Ahlu Sunah prefers Ali over Uthman and no Shi’ite prefers Uthman over Ali
