The Islamic civilisation of Africa series
Imam Abdullah Haron challenged apartheid from the minbar, but his resistance did not stop at the mosque. He carried his message into communities divided by apartheid’s laws, spoke out against the Group Areas Act and stood firmly against a system he described as unjust and un-Islamic. In 1969, Imam Haron was detained for 123 days and interrogated almost daily. He was martyred in police custody at the age of 45. The following day, more than 30,000 people walked with his janazah through the streets of Cape Town. More than five decades later, the man apartheid tried to silence is still remembered, his name carried through the streets of the city he served. #southafrica #islam #apartheid FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG

Maryam Lemu | The Muslim Marriage Crisis | TAM #4
Ghanaian Muslim preacher ‘UTI Dawah’ challenges Christian claims against Islam, arguing that Muslim scholars meticulously preserved both authentic and weak hadith; including narrations on sensitive issues, rather than concealing them. He contrasts this with Christianity, accusing its proponents of failing to show the same transparency about their own history and doctrines, before questioning when the Church of Christ was actually founded. #dawah #islam #christianity FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG
Islam’s Honesty Vs. Christianity’s Deception
Are African Muslims embracing modernity, or slowly losing sight of the values that define us? More than 600 years ago, Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun warned that defeated societies often begin imitating those who dominate them. From how we dress and socialise to how we define success, relationships, marriage and family, Shoni Lesoga explores how much of what we consider “normal” today has been shaped by Western influence. #africa #islamichistory #islam FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG
