Thank you i have that article. Firstly...let me respond with facts. This jabarti has become extinct? Do u know what extinct means? It means no longer in existence. So if those jabartis have ceased to exist, how can u say we are from those jabartis? shouldn't we be ceasing to exist?
Really stupid...richard burton even refuted this when he used to hear the isaaq tell him about that slander myth of darod in his book first footsteps in east africa...he said it was made up by enemy clans to link darods to jabarti street sweepers in yemen out of hatred not out of factual information. Burton even said he couldn't deny the strong evidences available for darod origin from being banu hashim and sufi sheikh saint from the old town of jabarta(zabid) today.
Infact he pointed out in his book he doubted isaaqs heritage and i'll tell u why after i finish explaining our origin.
Infact university scholars today even dont deny that is the case because their is 8th century documentation regarding our ancestor and his nobility among zabid city in yemen which was religious capital of arabia at that time.
Its like saying just because someone is called "john" that means the "john in america" and the "john in ghana" are the same ppl. Lol...war waxaan caqli xumo baan ku nacey...wallahi they are not even worth debating...i might take your advice gemini..
Ps: scholars in universities clearly know the strong historical evidence available for darod especially his father ismail is undeniable by any rational thinking person.
You can read I.M lewis confirms that sheikh darod was known among the early muslim records...His father is buried in zabid yemen. His father had many sons and it's documented they went and occupied the horn of africa. Not just Somalia, but Eritrea, Sudan, Ethiopia, these other jabartis were born from sheikh ismail other sons.We the somali descedants however are born from the abdirahman one of sheikh ismail son. This Abdirahman became (darod)
Confirmation of this is in aqeeliyon an 8th century documentation. Mentioned in the book of...a b I.M. Lewis, A Modern History of the Somali, fourth edition (Oxford: James Currey, 2002), p. 22
Secondly Darod is buried in somalia in haylaan, we all know this. And his Father is buried in zabid yemen. Everyone knows his father had many sons of whom one was named abdi-rahman. Many of his son left to occupy the horn and this all mentioned in 8th century documentation. It's pretty hard to forge that. We got darod grave, his father grave, 8th century documentation..and modern historian confirmation by professor I.M Lewis.
Only stupid person can doubt darod origin. No islamic or oxford university scholar denies darod, only the khat chewing losers do.
Sxb we are not like u isaaqs noone knows where isaaq father is buried..no modern confirmation of having son going to africa, noone has anything..u say isaaq is buried in maydh but where is his father buried noone knows..and on top of that did isaaq father only have 1 son who left to somalia, where are his other sons...cajiib...what a fockin mess u guys r in...and to make matters worse u need to establish that isaaq father sent his son to africa...
And then u need to prove how can mahe dir have sons named exactly the same name which isaaq sub-clans are named. Mahe dir had tol jeclo, habar yonis, habar awal, arap, and all the sub-clans u are divided in today. So u will also need to prove is that just coincidence to have all ur sub clan family names match 100% the sub-clan family names of mahe dir who had son named "isaaq" and that son had "further sons named tol jeclo, habar yonis, habar awal, etc"..
Like i said there is great saying in somalia..."somaliduu wa dir iyo darod" get the message...it has truth behind it.
