On the door of a butcher shop in Salvador, Bahia in 1895 , the top reads ''alufá'', the name given to black Muslim And then the declaration of faith (shahada ''La Ilaha illa Allah'', ''There is no deity but God'') written in Yoruba “Kosi obá Kan afi Olorun'',

This is to show large number Yoruba were already Muslim before Danfodio Jihad.

You can see Yoruba are special breed, even during slavery, he managed to free himself and turn things around for himself.

It hard to find other Africans achieving this feat.

Do you know Yoruba Muslim staged massive slave rebellion in Bahia Brazil. Yorubas are not cowards, we are fighters!

Leadership of Slave Rebellion Bahia

Ahuna - Ahuna was a Nagô(Yoruba) slave who lived in Salvador. He traveled frequently to Santo Amaro where his owner had a sugar plantation. It has been suggested that his presence was a key factor in the timing of the rebellion.

Pacífico Lucatan- Lucatan was a Nagô slave who worked as a tobacco roller. He was in prison at the time of the rebellion, and one of the main goals was to free him.

Luís Sanim - Sanim was a Nupe slave who also worked as a tobacco roller. He ran a fund where each member contributed a day's wages for slave labor, presumably monthly, and this money was divided into three parts: one part for cloth to make Muslim garments; a part to masters' portions of slave wages—since Malê slaves (Yoruba) did not work on Fridays; and one part to help buy letters of manumission.

Manoel Calafate - Calafate travelled to Santo Amaro to mobilize rebels on the eve of the uprising. He took an active part in the fighting and appears to have been killed in Palace Square..

Elesbão do Corma - Elesbão do Corma was a Hausa freedman who was known in the African community as Dandará. He owned a tobacco shop which was also used as a meeting place for Malês. He also traveled through the Recôncavo for his business, and brought the Muslim faith to slaves on the plantations there.

Males and Nagos are Yorubas

Yoruba are simply the best, if I'm not Yoruba, I will be jealous of them

Usman Dan fodio did not bring Islam to yoruba land, why do u think call Islam "esin imale" in Yoruba land?
It's because the traders from Mali brought Islam to yoruba land that's why they call it esin imale(religion from Mali)

Alufa is from Arabic, some Yoruba Christian were Muslim before becoming Christian.

Waazu is also Arabic
Amin is also Arabic
Alaafia is also Arabic.

But these words are more used by Yoruba Christian than Muslim Yoruba

Igbo man getting worked up on Yoruba matter, is you that will teach me my culture or religion?

Look at this two name

Yoruba - Olohun
Arabic - Allahu

Can you see the similarity between them? Yoruba is bigger than your imagination, our language is not suppose to be grouped with Niger Congo language.

Before we start wash your nose

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.
