now why did you assume that if the hadith said they were black and kinky haired they were jareer or I'm guessing you meant Bantu or west african? most somalis and habesha fall within the black skin kinky hair description.Euphoriia wrote:Musa was dark skinned (not blick or brown) but like caramelish. Also Isa was tanned like those tanned jews. Isa was a jew by ethnicity and Musa was arab. They were just of colour. Like majority of the Arabs and Jews those days. So no they weren't jareer (I.E proper black)
the most logical explanation is that the ancient carabs and jews looked like the people who they lived closest to and shared the closest ancestry in terms of language. and that would be east aficans. arabic and hebrew are afro-asiatic languages. in the same family as somali, oromo, and hausa (spoken in nigeria).
why would it be difficult to assume that nabi musa looked like a oromo or somali? don't forget he was able to live for years in egypt as an egyptian and then went to hide in ethiopia. if he looked like a modern day arab or jew, he would stick out in those places. if he however looked like a somali or oromo, he'd fit right in to ancient egypt and ethiopia and no one would notice.
