Islam in Ethiopia
Islam is said to be the second most practiced religion in Ethiopia. The first most practiced religion is Christianity. Islam has over twenty-five million followers that are Ethiopian which has been devoted to Islam. The earliest city in Ethiopia that was the earliest Muslim settlement is a city in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, that city is called Negash.
The first few Muslims in Ethiopia are said to be refugees from where Muslim originated: the city of Mecca. Those Muslims, of course, was received by the ruler of Ethiopia during that time who has himself Arabic traditions. The ruler was named Aṣḥama ibn Abjar. Ashama later settled those Muslims in Negash, and that is why Negash is the city in Ethiopia of the earliest Muslim settlement.
Hello, Nice to read that!!!
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you one truth, that is even though the written document said that Islam is the second religion, the reality is Islam is the first most practiced religion in Ethiopia covering more than 55% of the population.
Additionally it is clear that Islam is the most growing religion in Ethiopia.
Thank you for post!!!
