African History
Ancestors, Spirits and God – History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 8]
In this episode Zeinab Badawi examines religion in Africa. First the enduring presence of Africa’s indigenous religions, to which millions of people on the continent still adhere.
She travels to Zimbabwe to find out more about a remote community that follows traditional African religion. In Senegal she meets a Muslim man who, like so many others in the continent, blends Islamic beliefs with his ancestral ones and enjoys talking to trees!
She also charts the impact of Judaism and early Christianity in Africa and how Africans in particular made significant contributions to Christian thinking and practice through influential figures such as St Augustine who lived in what is today Algeria.

We the so called black Africans will always connect with our ancestors, through DNA. Each gene have his own frequency and vibrates at different frequency. Even when the body is dead and decomposed, the elements remain and continue to vibrate. That's how we reach our ancestors. A chant to a certain frequency can help reach the ancestors.

You can’t merge Islam with other religions that’s kufr and they aren’t Muslim. You can’t commit shirk then claim ignorance.The Quran warns against soothsaying its clear kufr

Why did you westerners always want to know every aspect of our lives? Your grandparents forced and established institutions that brought our spiritualities, our economy, power and strength to its knees, and now that we are trying to awake and get back on our feet, you people are coming to investigate to know our strength and weaknesses. Why? Do you people exist because of us
? Is our creator, ancestors and our gods that will defeat and destroy you for this time. Don't worry, very soon you will come to the end of the road.

People must understand that African native religions are not codified. So it's difficult to tie them down in neat narratives that would make sense to someone outside of the culture. It's also not a missionary type of spirituality where you are required to go out and spread the knowledge to others. It's kept within the community. I think they tried, but couldn't get much out of the practitioners or got little that would make sense to a westernized audience. So fell back to narrating the Abrahamic religions in Africa. Native religions tend to be difficult to put into words. You have to have a physical experience to get a sense of them.

No mention of plague causing Caucasians to spread 5000 years ago … explaining how Jews became 'slaves' in Egypt. Wow it's almost like we are protecting the secrets of Abrahamic religions and white supremacy. Wouldn't want to tell the whole truth….we might lose our stolen land and have to give indigenous their land back. Israel should be in Ukraine where NOah's ark landed and plague spread from

Why has the Mount Zion power not balance the Understanding of Mt. Sinai? Is this from a Empire, Kingdom or Chain of Command in a 1+13 World view? Blessings beyond Time I pray for the 12 Tribes of Israel and My own Exclessia (Senate). Are my prayers received without a Sacrifice?

What the hell is this title about? Ancestors Spirits and Gods? History of Africa? I am rather irritated. Belief systems that pre-date Judaism, Christianity and Islam existed prior to their introduction into Africa. Obviously there are hybridised systems that now exist. Or rather co-exist. This looks incredibly patronising and truly undermines authentic indigenous spiritual practice in Africa. BBC? I expected more. Assigning a black woman to report on this is inconsequential, she is obviously way too westernised to recognise indigenous knowledge and spiritual realities that originated in Africa. Please revisit this specific topic. This time, dedicate less attention to the Big 3 and more to what existed in Africa prior to colonial influence for thousands of years. Isnt that what we are interested in? Or is it just me?
