Imagine the vast, elaborate world history—each thread a story, a civilization, a voice contributing to the grand design. Yet, as your eyes scan this magnificent weaving, one chapter stands conspicuously incomplete: medieval Somali history. For too long, this chapter has remained unwritten or blurred, its vibrant civilization overlooked, its heroes unnamed, and its stories told through distant, fragmented lenses that barely capture the richness and dignity of its people. Picture the bustling port cities that lined Somalia’s coastline—hubs of commerce where ships from Arabia, Persia, India, and Africa converged, unloading spices, silks, and knowledge alike. Within these thriving urban centers, scholars debated theology and law in shaded courtyards; seafarers navigated the unpredictable Indian Ocean, connecting continents; and merchants wove expansive trade networks that pulsed with life and exchange. This was a world teeming with intellect, faith, and enterprise—a medieval Somalia alive with promise and achievement. Yet, despite this vibrant reality, Somalia’s medieval legacy and history is a ghost in many history books. When it appears, it is often reduced to mere footnotes or filtered through perspectives that overlook the depth of its culture and the dignity of its people. But history is not a fossilized relic; it is a living story, constantly evolving, demanding that we revisit, question, and reclaim it. As Somali historians, scholars, and storytellers, we stand at a crossroads. We have a responsibility—not just to record what has been told but to listen to the silences, to challenge accepted narratives, and to fill the gaps with truth. It is in this spirit of reclamation that we turn our attention to one remarkable figure, a beacon of Somali intellect and spirituality: Sheikh Said Muqdishawi, known to the western historiography as Said of Mogadishu.

It's no longer limited to religious extremism,” he said, adding that there are instances of Singaporeans drawn to Neo-Nazi movements or the incel subculture, known for its extreme resentment and hostility towards women.
