Topic: Serahuli


  
  ionfo_h8s
Serahuli, also called Sarakole, Seraculeh, or Soninke, a people located in Senegal near Bakel on the Sénégal River and in neighbouring areas of West Africa.
Some Senegalese Serahuli have migrated to Dakar, but the population in the Bakel area remain farmers whose chief crop is millet.
The Serahuli were the founders of the ancient empire of Ghana, which was destroyed after the invasions of Muslim conquerors in the 10th century.

 Islam and the African World || Imam Reza (A.S.) Network
The Serahuli contribution to the spread of Islam was not significant in the beginning.
This early phase of the Serahuli effort to propagate Islam was limited because their empire was, in the main, basecd on traditional African religious symbols.
The Serahuli propagators of Islam must have constituted a part of this gradually expanding Islamic base within the West Sudan, and their activities as Marabout-cum-merchants must have prepared the ground for later expansion of their faith, even though they made no effort at direct proselytization.

The Serahuli empire controlled rich trade routes and many Serahuli were wealthy overlords.
Those found in The Gambia arrived during the 19th century as refugees from the religious wars in Senegal and are therefore the most recent arrivals of all the Senegambian ethnic groups.
