Islam in the Land of Bilal: The Rich Heritage of Ethiopia's Muslims

Akbar's Chamber - Experts Talk Islam

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 1, 2025 68:58


Today nearly a third of Ethiopians are Muslims. At around 37 million, that's a larger Muslim population than many Middle Eastern countries. According to Islamic tradition, fourteen centuries ago the first person appointed by the Prophet Muhammad to call Muslims to prayer was an Ethiopian called Bilal ibn Rabbah. Moreover, some of the Prophet's companions sought refuge in the Ethiopian Christian kingdom of Axum. Over the following centuries, Islam spread to other regions and ethnic groups in what is now Ethiopia, developing a rich tradition of manuscript written in Arabic and local languages alike. Using the Arabic script (or more recently the Fidäl script), Islamic manuscripts were written in languages as varied as Somali, Harari, Oromo, Afar and Tigrinya. This episode explores the multilingual manuscripts, Sufi traditions, and modern technologies through which Ethiopia's Muslims have maintained their religious and cultural heritage from the time of Bilal to today.  Nile Green talks to Alessandro Gori, co-editor of The Writings of the Muslim Peoples of Northeastern Africa (Brill, 2022).

THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED—Much of travel media comes with a kind of sheen to it. A gloss. Whether you are traveling Italy with a hungry celebrity or cruising Alaska in the pages of a magazine, the photos are big and Photoshopped, the text kind of breathless. And while Afar has plenty of both, it just feels a bit different. It is not a magazine that puts a focus on consumption but on feeling. On the experience of travel.Julia Cosgrove has been atop Afar's masthead from the beginning. She comes from a magazine and journalism family. And despite their warnings about the industry, she joined the family business anyway because what kid listens to their parents? When the founders of Afar Media plucked her out of ReadyMade magazine and told her that no other travel magazine felt experiential to them, she understood and joined the team.Travel media has changed a lot over the years. One has to ask what moves a media consumer more: a magazine article about a beach in Croatia or the TikToks of numerous influencers on that same beach, extolling its virtues, reaching their millions of fans?Afar doesn't care.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a new series where we go behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host Katherine LaGrave sits down with Afar contributing writer Lisa Abend, who recently traveled to Sicily to investigate the viral phenomenon of European countries selling homes for one euro. Based in Copenhagen, Lisa explores what really happens after the headlines fade—both for the buyers chasing their dreams and the Sicilian communities welcoming newcomers. She shares what it's like to be an outsider in a tight-knit village, the reality behind those too-good-to-be-true property deals, and why the distinctively Sicilian spirit still dominates despite an influx of foreign buyers. On this episode you'll learn: The real story behind Sicily's one-euro house program and what buyers actually get for their money How small Sicilian towns are responding to an influx of foreign buyers and what "welcoming" really looks like Why most one-euro house purchases take much longer and cost far more than buyers expect Don't miss these moments: [02:30] Lisa's first impressions of Sambuca di Sicilia and the feeling of being watched as an outsider [04:15] The elderly café customer who seemed hostile but just wanted to ask about his New Jersey cousins [06:45] Danny McCubbin's journey from Jamie Oliver collaborator to Mussomeli community member—and dream crusher [09:20] Why buying a one-euro house doesn't guarantee a residence permit or the right to drive [12:10] The difference between one-euro ruins and Lisa's dream 50,000-euro house with pizza oven potential Resources Read Lisa's complete Afar story about Sicily's one-euro houses.

During this encounter, the probe reached speeds of 687,000 kilometers per hour, gathering invaluable data on solar wind and solar activity as the Sun approaches its solar maximum. The mission aims to deepen our understanding of the Sun's behavior and its impact on space weather, which can affect technology and human activities on Earth.Deep Earth Pulses: A New Ocean in the MakingScientists have detected rhythmic surges of molten rock rising from deep within the Earth beneath Africa, revealing a dynamic mantle plume that is gradually tearing the continent apart. This groundbreaking research, published in Nature Geoscience, indicates that the Afar region is experiencing the birth of a new ocean basin due to the interaction between tectonic plates and the pulsing mantle below. The study highlights the complex relationship between the Earth's interior and surface processes, offering new insights into volcanic activity and continental breakup.Aeris Rocket Launch Window OpensMission managers at Gilmour Space are preparing for the opening of a new launch window for their Ares orbital rocket's first test flight, set to begin tomorrow.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of virtuous living, drawing from Proverbs 31 to illustrate the qualities of a woman who embodies wisdom and strength. It highlights foresight, prudence, and initiative as essential virtues, arguing that true stewardship involves anticipating future needs, making sound decisions, and actively pursuing solutions rather than passively waiting for others. The message connects these virtues to a godly perspective, suggesting that Christians should emulate Joseph's proactive approach to leadership and actively seek to positively impact their communities through diligent planning and action, ultimately reflecting God's wisdom and care.

If you have to leave your boat, are you confident all is well aboard? You can be with the Roam Device, an affordable and easy remote boat monitor system. Summary John Herlig from The Boat Galley team recently installed the Roam marine monitor hub on his 1967 Rawson 30 sailboat, currently anchored in Florida while he is away from the boat. He found the installation and setup of the Roam device faster and easier than expected. The device monitors vital boat systems and connects to a cell network to send data to the cloud. Users can access data from an app on their phone.  The price is affordable at around $350 if you order directly from RoadDevices.com. Monitoring costs $60 a year. (See a special offer from Roam in the links below.) John was able to set up his unit quickly and installed it in his battery locker. Basic features include GPS monitoring, a high water alarm, cabin temperature and humidity, and battery voltage. You can add additional monitors if you wish, but John's needs were simple. He has two favorite features of the unit: 1) remote battery monitoring and 2) GPS location to track the boat's swing at anchor. The battery monitoring feature gives John peace of mind after an earlier event where his flooded lead cell batteries went dry in the heat and humidity and stopped charging. If the batteries drop below a set charge, the system sends an alarm, even if the app is not open on your phone.  The GPS location tracker creates position dots that populate every time it takes a reading, about every three minutes. You can use historical datasets to see if your boat has moved from its expected position.  John plans to set up the bilge alarm sensors when he returns to his boat again. The system can also monitor if a hatch is open, if humidity is high, or the state of the shore power connection.  He found it easy and affordable.

This one's for the boys the quiet fighters, the deep feelers, the dreamers who are still figuring it out. In honour of International Day of the Boy Child, this episode is a soft, reassuring whisper: Don't give up.It's a message to the boy who feels unseen, the one carrying more than he can say, the one trying to stay strong when no one notices. You are admired, even from afar. You are not alone. And you are becoming something beautiful.Take a breath, press play, and be reminded that your story matters.
