Despite being home to 40 million Muslims, having a history that predates Islam itself, and producing scholars who shaped Islamic education worldwide, Sudan remains the Muslim world's best-kept secret.From ancient Christian kingdoms to the Mahdi's revolution against British colonialism, from Nubian civilizations to modern Islamic universities serving all of Africa — this is the history they don't teach you.🔔 Subscribe to the AlMaghrib Podcast for more educational and authentic knowledge.
