The Jebertis in neighboring countries, facilitated by their shared religion, have been largely assimilated into their respective nations and cultures. Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Language 3 Religion 4 References [edit]History Early in the history of Islam the Prophet Mohammeds companions found sanctuary in the Kingdom of Aksum. When some of the Prophets companions returned to the Arabian Peninsula some of these refugees remained while some Aksumites converted to Islam. These people were called, Jeberti (The elect of God).[1] One of their oldest settlements is said[by whom?] to be Negash, in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The 9th-century Islamic writers Al-Masudi and Yaqub Ibn Abudllah Al-Hamawi wrote in their book Aqeeliyoon (which describes the lives and lineages of the descendants of the prophet Mohammeds young cousin, Aqeel Ibn Abu Talib) that several Quraysh sub-clans moved to the city of Zeila in present day Somalia, around the ninth century A.D.[citation needed] Some key sub-clans include Banu Shams, Banu Abd Manaf and Banu Hashim. From the Banu Hashim, many Aquiline settlers lived in Jabarta, such as Ahmed Ibn Husein Ibn Ali Al-Jabarti, and Ahmed Ibn Omar Al-Zayli. Most importantly, he mentions the Sufi Qadiriyah Sheik Ismail Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Abdisamad Al-Aqeeyli Al-Zayli, who is considered[by whom?] a Sufi saint in Yemen, and from whom the Darod claim to have descended. This Sufi Sheikh had the following 5 sons: Ahmed bin Abdirahman: Ahmed-Sade Darod, Muhammad bin Abdirahman: Mohamed-Kablalah Darod, Hussien bin Abdirahman: huseen-Tanade Darod, Yousuf bin Abdirahman: Yusuuf-Awrtable Darod and Eissa bin Abdirahman: isse-Isse Darod All of whom carry the surname Jabarti, whose descendants are found in all the Somali speaking regions of the Horn of Africa [edit]Language The Jeberti in the Horn of Africa speak Tigrinya,[2] which belongs to the Afro-Asiatic language family. [edit]Religion Jebertis are all Muslims and the term came to encompass all East Africans and, later, other Africans who have converted to Islam. Although this usage was later dropped as Islam spread across Africa, the original meaning is still evident as any Tigrinya or Amharic speaker who converts to Islam is called Jeberti.[3]
