First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by kaura5000: 4:33am On Jul 08, 2015 |
The Battle of Santolo was a decisive battle between the newly declared Kanoan Sultanate and the Animist Hausa Kingdom of Santolo, it was the first recorded Islamic Jihad waged and fought in Sudanic Africa. |

In the 1300s Islamic influence from the Mali empire had crept into Hausa land. in 1349 the King of Kano Ali Yaji dissolved the cult of Tsumbubura, the powerful theocratic cult of the Hausa Animist religion, this sparked a wave of rebellion throughout the kingdom. At some point afterwards, the remnant of the high priests of the cult converged on Santolo, an important seat of Hausa Animism. Invigorated by religious zeal the new 'Sultan' with the support of Wangara Muslims descended on Santolo where an epic battle was fought. |

The Battle of Santolo was to be the first in a wave conquest soon to be initiated by the Sultanate of Kano, a wave that was to see Kanoan power culminating into a Hausa Empire in the reign Sultan Muhammadu Kisoki whom according to Sultan Muhammed Bello of sokoto, " was to rule the length and breath of hausa land, from the east to the west"[1] |

kaura5000:I don't know any Hausa name. all I've heard are Arabs. Care to list some traditional names? |
Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by kaura5000: 1:11am On Jul 09, 2015 |
So you have never had of tanko,mudi,danladi,danjuma,magaji,lado,mati,indo,kande,mainasara,marka, etc although I agree many have switched to Islamic names... but name is not the only yardstick to know of a culture.. hausa language is strong which is one of the most yardstick to measure language.. dont you see many people are switching to hausa language from fulani,kanuri,taureg, etc what would you call them?

kaura5000: Who were the Malians that brought Islam to Kano or influenced Kanoans to adopt Islam ? Were they not Fulanis or Tuaregs ? |
Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by kaura5000: 4:54am On Sep 29, 2015 |

Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by shota(m): 12:58am On Sep 30, 2015 |
kaura5000: Before the Soninke brought Islam and civilization to the Hausas were the Hausas wearing cloths ? At what time did the Hausas start to wear cloths ? |
Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by kaura5000: 9:20am On Sep 30, 2015 |
Idiot before islam we already have our own civilizations shota: |
Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by shota(m): 11:19am On Sep 30, 2015 |
kaura5000: LOL.. So why wearing the cloth of the Soninke people ? |
Re: First Recorded Jihad In West Africa by Nobody: 12:16pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
Shota is just jealous the hausas he stupidly sees as below him have been organized, civilized and fully clothed as long as time can tell, his people on the other hand the British found strolling the forest naked like lower animals. |
