Before The Crescent: Islam In Africa's Forgotten History: Before the Mosque, There Were Ancestors: How Africa's Spiritual Roots Were Lost

By Collins JK. Smith

What if everything you thought you knew about Islam's arrival in Africa... was only half the story?

Long before the crescent moon rose over African skies, the continent already spoke the language of the sacred - not through mosques or minarets, but through fire, drum, river, and spirit. Before the sword and the scroll arrived, Africa walked with the divine in her own rhythm.

Before the Crescent: Islam in Africa's Forgotten History dares to uncover the silenced past - a breathtaking journey into the heartbeat of Africa, where ancestors were once gods, the feminine was sacred, and memory lived in the soil. This is not just history. It is soul retrieval.

- Explore a side of African history that mainstream narratives have buried.

- Discover the truth about how Islam entered Africa - not just as a faith, but as a force that rewrote identities, renamed gods, and silenced drums.

- Witness the spiritual power of pre-Islamic Africa - the ancestral knowledge, matriarchal wisdom, and sacred memory that colonial faiths tried to erase.

- Travel through the rise of Timbuktu, the fall of oral traditions, the jihad against African spirituality, and the unspoken truths of Islamic slavery.

- Reclaim what was lost - and realize what still lives within you.

This book is for those who seek more than facts - it's for those who feel the pull of something deeper, who ache for answers that lie beneath the surface of textbooks. It's for readers of:
