al-Thaqāfat al-ʿArabiyyah wa ruwāduhā fī'l Somāl: dirāsat Tārīkhiyyah Ḥaḍāriyyah, is born from the Phd thesis of Dr Mohammed H. Ma'allin. This unique title reveals the roots of Arab culture, literature, and Islamic history in the Somali peninsula and the extent to which the people of Somalia were affected by this connection. During the appearance of the Prophet Muhammad-Blessings and peace be upon him- in the Arabian Peninsula, and the subsequent migrations, starting with the refugee's among the companions of the Prophet-Blessings and peace be upon him- to the Horn of Africa followed by centuries long of interractions lef a permanent mark on the cultures and civilisations of Northeast Africa. The book focuses on the depth of cultural relationship between Somalis and other Arabs in Yemen, Egypt, Hijaz, and the Levant, with emphasis on cultural exchanges between the two regions, in most of the Islamic eras.
This study deals with how islamic sciences were pioneered in Somalia, and exported to the Arabian peninsula for centuries, with a special look at the scholarly pioneers. Aspects of literature, writing as well as its tools such as calligraphy, copyist and scribal functions are brought out to the reader, which is born from extensive sources. This study dedicates a special section to prominent Somali scholars of the past and more present times.
