Radio Islam

Our series reveals a continent far more central to the story of Islam than many have been led to believe. Yet Imani ya Afrika is not merely a story of the past. As Africa emerges as one of the most dynamic regions of the twenty-first century, the question before the Ummah is clear: how will this heritage be protected, revived, and carried forward? In this series finale, we reflect on the responsibility of Muslims today to reconnect, educate, and renew the call of daʿwah across a continent whose story is far from finished. Acknowledgements: The expert voices you heard most commonly throughout this series include Sheikh Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick, Moulana Yusuf Bemath (drawn from Radio Islam International’s Muslim Communities series), Sheikh Mustafa Briggs, and Mufti Muhammad Akoo.

Ayaz and Rumaisa begin their first counselling session. This allows them to work on the issues they both are experiencing with each other.

Long before the rise of modern movements such as the so-called Nation of Islam or figures like Malcolm X, the story of Islam in the Americas had already begun centuries earlier. In this episode we explore the deeper African roots of that history—from the intriguing account of Mansa Musa’s brother, Abu Bakr II, who is said to have launched a fleet across the Atlantic in the early 1300s, to the undeniable reality that countless West African Muslims were later carried to the Americas through the transatlantic slave trade. Among those torn from their homes were scholars, nobles and ordinary believers who carried their faith across the ocean even in chains. Although the brutal system of slavery tried to erase their identities, traces of this legacy endured and would eventually re-emerge generations later in the revival of Islam among African-Americans. It is a powerful reminder that the history of Islam in Africa did not only shape the continent itself—it also, through the complex currents of history, became one of the pathways through which Islam took root in the Americas.

After speaking with Rumaisa, Moulana arranges to speak with Ayaz to hear his side of the story. Moulana encourages the couple to give counselling a chance.

This episode addresses what has been made to be one of the most contested and emotionally charged subjects in the history of Islam in Africa—slavery. While acknowledging that systems of servitude existed across many societies—including within parts of the Muslim world—it carefully situates the subject within its broader historical context, challenging orientalist narratives that reduce the entire Muslim presence in Africa to slave trading. The discussion distinguishes clearly between the devastating scale and racial ideology of the transatlantic slave trade and the very different structures of the Indian Ocean networks, while also addressing the undeniable excesses committed by some actors, including Omani slave traders. By examining the historical realities with honesty and nuance, the episode argues that these episodes should not eclipse the far greater legacy of Islam in Africa—one defined by scholarship, literacy, spiritual traditions, and the empowerment of African societies.

Qiyamah E27 The Awards Ceremony by Radio Islam

We trace the often-overlooked story of Islam’s journey into Southern Africa—from early contacts in Mozambique and Malawi, to inland routes reaching Zimbabwe, Zambia, and even the fringes of South Africa. We explore how Islam took root among peoples like the Yao and the Ba-Lemba, how literacy promoted by Islam transformed societies, and why its expansion in the south differed from the sweeping movements seen elsewhere on the continent. And in a striking turn of history, we reflect on how—by the decree of Allah—the very forces that strove to hinder Islam’s spread in other parts of the world, became, in the far south, unexpected means for its establishment and growth.

Legends of Islam Quiz - Orient Islamic School | NMS | AMS by Radio Islam

Join us as we journey to Harar, one of the most remarkable historic cities of the Horn of Africa. Perched on a plateau about 500 km east of Addis Ababa, this walled city grew into a major Muslim centre by the late medieval period and later served as the capital of the Adal Sultanate during the dramatic campaigns of Sheikh Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Wander with us through Harar’s maze of narrow alleys and vibrant markets, discover why it is famed for having one of the largest concentrations of mosques in the world, and explore traditions that still animate the city today—from its enduring scholarly heritage to the famous nightly ritual of the “Hyena Man.” Harar cannot be reduced to a relic of the past—it remains a living city where centuries of Islamic history continue to breathe through its streets
