Now that His Excellency Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed Ali is in Kazan, Russia 🇷🇺 it is interesting to learn about the city, history, demographics, architecture etc… more than half the population are Muslims, with one of largest Mosques in Europe (reconstructed in 2005) (pictured)
Worth nothing a bit of Islamic history. Because people of Kazan along with 2B people in the world deserve to know the real history of Islam instead of “Gabriel and his Wings” kind of fake stories.
I highlight most importantly one of the five expeditions (Assault of Axumites on Hijazz) the third one.
Third Aksumite Expedition: Around 570 CE (Year of the Elephant aka Birth of Prophet Muhammed)
Reconstruction of the Ka'ba 608 CE A first – maritime – hijra to Ethiopia is said to have set sail from al-Shuʿayba in 615, with most muhājirūn returning in 622 and a second wave in 628
