The Hadhrami Sayyids: Yemen's Scholar-Diplomats Across the Indian Ocean
Om avsnittet
This episode dives into the Hadhrami sayyids, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad who migrated from Yemen's Hadhramaut region across the Indian Ocean. We explore their role as scholars, traders, and diplomats from the 18th to 20th centuries, establishing communities in India, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. Learn about figures like Habib Uthman bin Yahya, the mufti of Batavia, and the Al-Attas family in Singapore. We discuss how they spread Islam, mediated conflicts, and navigated colonial powers while maintaining ties to Yemen. The episode also touches on the 'Alawi tarekat and its impact on Sufi networks. A fresh look at Yemen's global connections beyond its borders.
