If you want to talk about the greatest African conquer kings, then you need to look at it in terms of Military Victories & Territory Expansion period. Here is my list: Thutmose III, Piankhi, Sonni Ali Ber, & Mai Idris Alooma, Axumite Negus Kaleb should get an honorable mention.
Thanks for sharing the fruits of your work with us! I hope to see you add King Sekhukhune I to the next video. He wasn’t only a masterful tactician who used his knowledge of the land and guerilla tactics to his advantage, but he also was a great diplomat who expanded his influence well into areas controlled by his enemies British colonists, Dutch settlers and the Portuguese in Mozambique. All his enemies (including Britain) suffered humiliating defeats at his hands and feared him. It eventually took armies of the British, the Boers and 10 000 Swazis to overthrow him. His story is not as well known as that of Shaka because of how the Marota/BaPedi kingdom was dismantled after his fall. His heir was killed and so was his half-brother who had a claim to the throne. The British and Boers did not want to risk a rebellion from a united nation.
Where's King Kaleb? When he heard of the Christian community being oppressed in Yemen, he raised an army from Aksum and the crossed the Red Sea annexing Yemen and Arabia and bringing it under African control. Also, Netflix has just released an official trailer of the Hausa Queen Amina.
Agreed Emperor Kaleb of Ethiopia crossed the Red Sea and saved the Christians from marauding pagans. He was asked by the emperor in Rome. These were primarily African Ethiopian Christians.
Those wondering why he said he isnt Shaka Zulu its because in those times, it was custom to take as a "surname" the name of your father. For example if you are John and your father is Samson, then you will be John kaSamson. Zulu was the founder of their clan. Most Zulu surnames came about being named after a founder of a clan, or sometimes an event or something peoole of that clan did
MAKES SENSE!!!...LIKE IN ETHIOPIA THERE IS SELASSIE, NEGUS, DEJAZMACH ETC. AND BY THE WAY WHAT ABOUT KING HAILE SELASSIE THE FIRST AND THE LAST OF ETHIOPIA???...HE NEEDS AN EPISODE OR 2 TO TALK ABOUT H.I.M. HE IS STILL CONSIDERED THE GREAT MILITARY LEADER OF AFRICAN " ANCIENT TO MODERN HISTORY"
@@yani2499 sorry sir, I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about or saying, so I can't comment on that. However I will disagree with you on one thing and say no, Nandi was not an opportunist. Maybe clarify as to why you think Nandi was an opportunist? Which throne are you talking about? The Dingiswayo throne? I'm a bit confused.
I am absolutely in awe of your great works. Maximum respect and uplifting to you. Peace and continued revelations, dear brother. Keep up your great, invaluable works. Bless you.❤
Great video. I propose you to integrate in your list Cheikh Oumar Foutiyou Tall the founder of the toucouleur empire, he’s one of the greatest if not the greatest of the 18th century
I really enjoyed this video (Part 1 as well) and i would just like to add a few more names for future videos. Queen Nzinga Mbande and Hannibal of Carthage.
You can also research about one of the Great South African Kings, the Great Warrior King Maqoma who fought in some of the 9 Frontier wars of the Xhosas against the British. He was regarded as a great Strategist of his time
💯💯 this is a subject that many scholars dont touch on but is definitely a big part of history. There’s a book “The Unkown Arabs” by Tariq Berry thats speaks on this. Hard to find book but it is an easy and very informative read.
Why though? I am assuming you really mean the relationship the Middle East has with regions of Africa. I guess I can tell you this. The history of Eastern Africa became linked with the Arabian peninsula. As trade flourished between the Horn of Africa and the Arabian peninsula there started being migrations in between the two regions and influence/mixing. One good example is the relationship between Ethiopia and Yemen. Yemen was used to be a Ethiopian colony and Ethiopia had a big impact on Islam. The Swahili’s have also traded with southern Arabia as well as the Somalis
I am surprised someone like the mad mullah or Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi were not on this list. The first fought the longest colonial war against the British which caused them to desperately imploy air bombing for the first time in africa just to deal with him. The second guy, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi , was the first king to defeat European power in africa since hannibal, he also introduced Canon warfare to africa. Please mention them in your next video if you are doing part 3
I am putting up a 🗳 vote for Thutmose III, successor of Queen Hatshepsut, although mired in historical controversy, credited with victorious campaigns which expanded the nation/state considerably.
uShaka kaSenzangakhona means Shaka son of Senzangakhona. The name of the royal house is Zulu. Kings were not usually addressed by the name of the house and it's the same today with King Charles of house Windsor. But the the regular people did go by surnames and had clan names and totems as part of their praise poems
For example rulers from Somalia 🇸🇴 were able to conquer a-lot of places in Africa and outside of African, and even beating the Portuguese powers not once but twice and what about kings from modern Ethiopia 🇪🇹 they conquered a lot of places as well including the Kingdom of kush, and defeated the Italians 🤷🏾♂️but somehow they aren’t included in any of the videos you made about this topic.
@@bobmarley4272 first of all, you seem very uneducated about what you speak off, I am sure if go out side and talk to any Somali person, and you ask them if they are Arab, they will spit on your face, Somalis are proud people and will show you, that they are proud africans and proud Somalis. they don't like to be called black or arabs, because any of those labels don’t apply to the Somali people. Furthermore, Africans aren't only from West or south of the African continent, Africa is a huge place with a lot of different peoples. Somalia is the door to the African continent, and Somalis have and will guard the African continent will their lives. Somalia is in the Arab league for political reasons and have nothing to do with their identity. Make sure you do some research before you open your mouth next time, good day.
Don’t forget Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia.. King of Kings conquering lion of the tribe of Judah. He defeated the invading Italian army at Adwa in March of 1896. The first defeat of the Berlin conference and a colonial European army. This shifted the entire paradigm of so called European supremacy and stopped it dead in its tracks. Adwa should be celebrated by all Africans and oppressed people as a symbol of good over evil...david over Goliath. African strategy tactics skills wisdom and the grace of god. When the Emperor went to the battle he had Gods ark of the covenant and the priests who as always follow him to battle. The empress Taitu also had an army of her own and played a critical role during the battle. Before then the last African army that defeated the Europeans was likely Queen Amanranes of Nubia who defeated the Roman armies.
There have been plenty times Europeans got beaten up by African kingdoms after Amanranes. Until the early 19th century, not much colonisation was going on. Most claims were based on fortified trade ports. Cutting out the middle man in the slave trade was common practice that would often lead to retaliation. War is bad for trade and if the cost are not covered by the loot, wars are over fairly fast.
..thanks for this...the African continent is indeed huge and varied...down in the western parts, round about the same time, kings like Oba Ewuare 1, and Ozolua of the ancient kingdom of Benin were expanding their coasts within the dark, secluded reaches of the continent....the records have been destroyed or stolen, and the remoteness or probably uniqueness has ensured it stayed that way....is it because a very different, 'non-mainstream' religion was and still remains in practice? Or the fact a way of life that places the individual in the role of a god, and not necessarily as a unit of 'state' remains the order, contrary to what is practiced in the west...
Some of these African rulers, leaders, controllers, pointers, sayers, and monarchs could of colonized The Americas And Oceania if they had such a desire to go further and explore abroad and became more hungry, thirsty, craving, wanting, needing, and motivated for more lands and trinkets yeah
Great contribution editor. I recommend your make a part 3, and so on . if you wana give equal credit to all rulers of Africa. Talking of U Tschaka ka Sengakhona - can be interpreted as " Shaka son of Sengakhona " . this is common in Africa. when you present yourself to Strangers, you mention your Mother or Father. For example , I may say, I am Munamwene/Prince Nyumbu son of MweneChiengele /Ruler Nyumbu. Thats some schooling for you. Thank you
Lalibela), Emperor Lalibela of Ethiopia (reigned c. 1185-1225) directed the hewing of 11 churches out of living rock-a stupendous monument to Christianity. A pious man an lifelong devotee of the church, he was made a saint by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church after his death. The Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 C.E. put Christian Ethiopia in a defensive position. Because the Ethiopian Orthodox Church remained subordinate to the Orthodox Church in Alexandria, and Egypt had become a Muslim country, Ethiopians became suspicious and resentful of the control Egypt had on the appointment of their Christian bishop (abun). Muslim Egyptians also controlled Jerusalem and had the power to expel Ethiopian pilgrims to their holiest of cities. So Ethiopians began to claim power over Egypt through control of the Nile. During the Crusades the Ethiopian emperor Lalibela (1190-1225)-who built a new Jerusalem in Ethiopia, safe from Muslim occupation in magnificent, underground rock-hewn churches-threatened retribution by diverting the Tekeze River from its pathway north into Sudan (where it becomes the Atbara and then joins the Nile).
Emperor Yohannes IV of Ethiopia who defeated the invading Mahdists Sudanese armies and kept Ethiopia free of foreigners. He was a devout Ethiopian christian orthodox believer who refused to allow European missionaries to enter into Ethiopia and spread their venom. He also had many other victories throughout his reign.
📜 Isaiah 37:9And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to make war with you.” So when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Yes Fulani our brithers from east coast Somali ☝️ From Djibouti 🇩🇯 Somali ethnic Djibouti native Djibouti is divided between Afar and Somali Who also share border in three countries
Emperor Ezana of Ethiopia who made Christianity the official religion of Ethiopian empire in 330AD. The first empire in the world to do so. Remember one of the first Christians baptized by the Apostle Phillipos. Book of Acts 8:26 was the Ethiopian Bakos the high official and treasurer of the Queen of Ethiopia. Refer to books written by historian Richard Pankhurst and Alula Pankhurst for Ethiopian history.
Amda Seyon I, (Amharic: “Pillar of Zion”) (died 1344?), ruler of Ethiopia from 1314 to 1344, best known in the chronicles as a heroic fighter against the Muslims. He is sometimes considered to have been the founder of the Ethiopian state. FAST FACTS Facts & Related Content Died: 1344? See all facts and data → The earliest Ethiopian chronicle tends to support this hypothesis, for it concerns Amda Seyon’s reign. Moreover, the earliest known examples of the written Amharic language are hymns praising him. His image is reminiscent of that of Henry V of England in his transformation from a youthful carouser to an audacious warrior and ruler. Most of his wars were against the Muslim kingdoms to the southeast, which he was able to fight and generally defeat one by one, despite their plans to unite against him. Hence, he substantially enlarged his kingdom by gradually incorporating a number of smaller states.
How about king Kaleb of Ethiopian Axum Empire who crossed the Red Sea to free the Christians who were being murdered in what is now known as Yemen. Later he left his throne and went into monastic life because he was pious and had spilt blood.
The mother Ahmed al-mansur comes from a noble family. Her father is the Prince of qasba of warzazat. She's a very high level politician in the Saadi Dynasty. She's still consider as a Saint in Morocco. Her name is Mas'uda Al-Wizkitiya or Lalla Masuda.

The Bab Dukkala Masjid: Founded by the Fulani Female "Saint" of Morocco. By Elijah Shabazz (Ilyas Shabazz Bah) My recent quest through Morocco started with a single sentence I read earlier this year in the John O. Hunwick's english translation of the 17th Century Timbuktu writer Es Saadi's arabic manuscript entitled "Tarikh es Soudan". Mr. Hunwick bypassed translating the portion of the book treating the history of Morocco. However, he noted one interesting historical fact. British Scholar John O. Hunwick states that according to Es Saadi the Mother of Saadian ruler Ahmed Al Mansur (1) was a Fulani "Concubine". I wanted to read for my self whether Mr. Hunwick's (who ironically died this year) statement was one of truth or another European re-telling of history, which fits all Blacks into the mould of slaves, savages, concubines, etc,. So, I set out to find a copy of Es Saadi's Arabic manuscript for myself. I was able to locate it at the Schomburg research center in Harlem. After scanning through hundreds of pages of micro-film I came to the statement I was looking for. I will write in it's Arabic followed by it's English translation. Es Saadi notes the following in his history of Morocco : (تنبية، اما امير السلطان مولا احمد الذهبي فهو ابن مولا محمد الشيخ ابن مولا محمد امغار الشريف بن عبد الرحمن و امه جارية اسمها لل عودة ابوها فلاني) As for the Sultan Ahmad Almansur adh-dhabi, he is son of Muhammad Ash-Sheikh son of Mawla muhammad Amghar the sharieff son of Abdur Rahman and his mother "Jariyat" her name Lala 'awdat her father Fulani. (Note: Lala 'awdat and Layla Massaoudat are variations of the same name) The key term that I transliterated and not translated is the word in question that lead to my search. That term is "Jariyat". This term has several meanings in different context. Among them are female neighbor, girl, young girl, or female slave/concubine. French translator E. Leroux comes to the same conclusion as his Brithish counterpart Mr. Hunwick. In his French translation of Tarikh Es Sudan it reads: "Sa mére etait une concubine" (his mother was a concubine). However, he adds this footnote to his translation: "Ou, plus exactment, une esclave rendue mére. On sait que l'enfant né d'un patron de et son esclave est parfaitement légitime aux yeux des musulmans et se trouve affranchie, par et fait." Alluding to a "Muslim" custom that the child of a slave mother and a Father of the ruling class, still gives the legitimacy to the throne. Since 17th century chronicler Es Saadi, doesnt explain his usage of the term "Jariyat", one if left to draw conclusions about its usage. Nor does, Es Saadi give us more information of her Father except that he is a Fulani. The status of the Father is key to the daughter. If the Father was a slave, then the daughter will be a slave as well. As I did additional research about the maternal side of Ahmad Al Mansur I came across information stating that his Mother was the "Well known Layla Mass'auda". This being "Well Known" doesn't fit the typical status of "concubine". Generally, a concubine is a lover of ruler relegated to home and oft-times hidden under secret. So that takes me to my journey across the Atlantic to Morocco itself. I'm sure I can find information there. After hitting a bump in the road searching for a library in Marrakech (2), I made my way to The National Library located in the Capitol City Rabat (3). It was there were I found the French Language book "Histoire Du Maroc" compiled by Coissac De Chavrebière a professor from Rabat. In this publication I found this most interesting and rewarding information; of which I was searching for nearly a year. It answers my question of why she is the "well known Leila Massouda" and something about her family. According to Histoure Du Maroc: (French text followed by English translation) "Aboul Abbbas, surnommé El Mansour, succéda sans opposition à son frère, tant la victoire lui assurait de prestige dans les villed et les tribus du Maroc. Fils de Mohammed ech-Chéikh El Mahdi, il avait pour mère Lella Messaouda, noble dame des Ouzguita et proche parente du caīd Azzouz dont la fortune fut grande sous ce règne. Messaouda, femme d'un rare mérite, aimait les lettres; pieuse et éclairée dans sa religion, elle fonda la mosquée de Bab Doukkala, à Marrakech, et en assura l'entretien de ses deniers, ainsi que le paiement des fonctionnaires attachés au culte de la mosquée. Elle mourut en 1590, vénérée comme une sainte." "Aboul Abbbas, nicknamed El Mansour, succeeded without opposition to his brother, as the victory assured him prestige in villed and tribes of Morocco. Son of Mohammed ash-Sheikh El Mahdi, he had to Messaouda mother Layla, noble lady of Ouzguita and close relative of Caid Azzouz whose fortune was greater during this reign. Messaouda, woman of rare merit, loved literature; pious and enlightened in his religion, she founded the Mosque of Bab Doukkala, Marrakech, and assured maintenance of its funds, as well as payment of civil servants attached to the worship of the mosque. She died in 1590, venerated as a saint." So there in Morocco the history of Layla Massouda (Lala 'awdat) states that she is of a noble family and is venerated as a Saint in Morocco. Which definitely doesn't fit the shade of meaning for "Jariyat" as "Slave girl/Concubine". This seems to be a tragic case of -not only a loss of meaning- in translation, but a loss of Stature! A Portrait of the Layla Massouda Masjid in the Layla (night). This journey to Rabat has given to me a whole new meaning of "Knowledge is key". In the Arabic language "Bab" means Door. I have walked pass and through Bab Dukkula throughout my stay in Marrakech but it's Door (Bab) was closed to me because I didnt have the key (knowledge). On the night of my return from Rabat, I was too impatient to wait until the morning to find the Masjid. Besides I returned to Marrakech just before Maghrib. I dropped my bags at the Hotel, asked for directions and made way straight to Bab Dukkala, a town that was walking distance from my hotel. As typical to my journey no find was easy. The Masjid I encountered was quite small. However, I made my prayer in it and afterwards used my Arabic to inquire if this was indeed the one built by Layla Massaouda. I asked an elder, and he informed that no it was not. It was actually the Grand Masjid, in the town. He told me ignore the next small Masjid I would encounter and "Tuduwa" (go straight) until I see the big Masjid.

Great contribution editor. I recommend your make a part 3, and so on . if you wana give equal credit to all rulers of Africa.
Talking of U Tschaka ka Sengakhona - can be interpreted as " Shaka son of Sengakhona " . this is common in Africa.
when you present yourself to Strangers, you mention your Mother or Father. For example , I may say, I am Munamwene/Prince Nyumbu son of MweneChiengele /Ruler Nyumbu.
Thats some schooling for you.
Thank you

Lalibela), Emperor Lalibela of Ethiopia (reigned c. 1185-1225) directed the hewing of 11 churches out of living rock-a stupendous monument to Christianity. A pious man an lifelong devotee of the church, he was made a saint by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church after his death.
The Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 C.E. put Christian Ethiopia in a defensive position. Because the Ethiopian Orthodox Church remained subordinate to the Orthodox Church in Alexandria, and Egypt had become a Muslim country, Ethiopians became suspicious and resentful of the control Egypt had on the appointment of their Christian bishop (abun). Muslim Egyptians also controlled Jerusalem and had the power to expel Ethiopian pilgrims to their holiest of cities.
So Ethiopians began to claim power over Egypt through control of the Nile. During the Crusades the Ethiopian emperor Lalibela (1190-1225)-who built a new Jerusalem in Ethiopia, safe from Muslim occupation in magnificent, underground rock-hewn churches-threatened retribution by diverting the Tekeze River from its pathway north into Sudan (where it becomes the Atbara and then joins the Nile).

Emperor Ezana of Ethiopia who made Christianity the official religion of Ethiopian empire in 330AD. The first empire in the world to do so. Remember one of the first Christians baptized by the Apostle Phillipos. Book of Acts 8:26 was the Ethiopian Bakos the high official and treasurer of the Queen of Ethiopia. Refer to books written by historian Richard Pankhurst and Alula Pankhurst for Ethiopian history.

Amda Seyon I, (Amharic: “Pillar of Zion”) (died 1344?), ruler of Ethiopia from 1314 to 1344, best known in the chronicles as a heroic fighter against the Muslims. He is sometimes considered to have been the founder of the Ethiopian state.

Died: 1344?

The earliest Ethiopian chronicle tends to support this hypothesis, for it concerns Amda Seyon’s reign. Moreover, the earliest known examples of the written Amharic language are hymns praising him. His image is reminiscent of that of Henry V of England in his transformation from a youthful carouser to an audacious warrior and ruler. Most of his wars were against the Muslim kingdoms to the southeast, which he was able to fight and generally defeat one by one, despite their plans to unite against him. Hence, he substantially enlarged his kingdom by gradually incorporating a number of smaller states.
How about king Kaleb of Ethiopian Axum Empire who crossed the Red Sea to free the Christians who were being murdered in what is now known as Yemen. Later he left his throne and went into monastic life because he was pious and had spilt blood.

The Bab Dukkala Masjid: Founded by the Fulani Female "Saint" of Morocco.
By Elijah Shabazz (Ilyas Shabazz Bah)
My recent quest through Morocco started with a single sentence I read earlier this year in the John O. Hunwick's english translation of the 17th Century Timbuktu writer Es Saadi's arabic manuscript entitled "Tarikh es Soudan". Mr. Hunwick bypassed translating the portion of the book treating the history of Morocco. However, he noted one interesting historical fact.
British Scholar John O. Hunwick states that according to Es Saadi the Mother of Saadian ruler Ahmed Al Mansur (1) was a Fulani "Concubine".
I wanted to read for my self whether Mr. Hunwick's (who ironically died this year) statement was one of truth or another European re-telling of history, which fits all Blacks into the mould of slaves, savages, concubines, etc,.
So, I set out to find a copy of Es Saadi's Arabic manuscript for myself. I was able to locate it at the Schomburg research center in Harlem. After scanning through hundreds of pages of micro-film I came to the statement I was looking for. I will write in it's Arabic followed by it's English translation.
Es Saadi notes the following in his history of Morocco :
(تنبية، اما امير السلطان مولا احمد الذهبي فهو ابن مولا محمد الشيخ ابن مولا محمد امغار الشريف بن عبد الرحمن و امه جارية اسمها لل عودة ابوها فلاني)
As for the Sultan Ahmad Almansur adh-dhabi, he is son of Muhammad Ash-Sheikh son of Mawla muhammad Amghar the sharieff son of Abdur Rahman and his mother "Jariyat" her name Lala 'awdat her father Fulani.
(Note: Lala 'awdat and Layla Massaoudat are variations of the same name)
The key term that I transliterated and not translated is the word in question that lead to my search. That term is "Jariyat". This term has several meanings in different context. Among them are female neighbor, girl, young girl, or female slave/concubine.
French translator E. Leroux comes to the same conclusion as his Brithish counterpart Mr. Hunwick. In his French translation of Tarikh Es Sudan it reads:
"Sa mére etait une concubine" (his mother was a concubine).
However, he adds this footnote to his translation:
"Ou, plus exactment, une esclave rendue mére. On sait que l'enfant né d'un patron de et son esclave est parfaitement légitime aux yeux des musulmans et se trouve affranchie, par et fait."
Alluding to a "Muslim" custom that the child of a slave mother and a Father of the ruling class, still gives the legitimacy to the throne.
Since 17th century chronicler Es Saadi, doesnt explain his usage of the term "Jariyat", one if left to draw conclusions about its usage. Nor does, Es Saadi give us more information of her Father except that he is a Fulani. The status of the Father is key to the daughter. If the Father was a slave, then the daughter will be a slave as well.
As I did additional research about the maternal side of Ahmad Al Mansur I came across information stating that his Mother was the "Well known Layla Mass'auda". This being "Well Known" doesn't fit the typical status of "concubine". Generally, a concubine is a lover of ruler relegated to home and oft-times hidden under secret.
So that takes me to my journey across the Atlantic to Morocco itself. I'm sure I can find information there.
After hitting a bump in the road searching for a library in Marrakech (2), I made my way to The National Library located in the Capitol City Rabat (3). It was there were I found the French Language book "Histoire Du Maroc" compiled by Coissac De Chavrebière a professor from Rabat. In this publication I found this most interesting and rewarding information; of which I was searching for nearly a year. It answers my question of why she is the "well known Leila Massouda" and something about her family.
According to Histoure Du Maroc: (French text followed by English translation)
"Aboul Abbbas, surnommé El Mansour, succéda sans opposition à son frère, tant la victoire lui assurait de prestige dans les villed et les tribus du Maroc. Fils de Mohammed ech-Chéikh El Mahdi, il avait pour mère Lella Messaouda, noble dame des Ouzguita et proche parente du caīd Azzouz dont la fortune fut grande sous ce règne. Messaouda, femme d'un rare mérite, aimait les lettres; pieuse et éclairée dans sa religion, elle fonda la mosquée de Bab Doukkala, à Marrakech, et en assura l'entretien de ses deniers, ainsi que le paiement des fonctionnaires attachés au culte de la mosquée. Elle mourut en 1590, vénérée comme une sainte."
"Aboul Abbbas, nicknamed El Mansour, succeeded without opposition to his brother, as the victory assured him prestige in villed and tribes of Morocco. Son of Mohammed ash-Sheikh El Mahdi, he had to Messaouda mother Layla, noble lady of Ouzguita and close relative of Caid Azzouz whose fortune was greater during this reign. Messaouda, woman of rare merit, loved literature; pious and enlightened in his religion, she founded the Mosque of Bab Doukkala, Marrakech, and assured maintenance of its funds, as well as payment of civil servants attached to the worship of the mosque. She died in 1590, venerated as a saint."
So there in Morocco the history of Layla Massouda (Lala 'awdat) states that she is of a noble family and is venerated as a Saint in Morocco. Which definitely doesn't fit the shade of meaning for "Jariyat" as "Slave girl/Concubine".
This seems to be a tragic case of -not only a loss of meaning- in translation, but a loss of Stature!
A Portrait of the Layla Massouda Masjid in the Layla (night).
This journey to Rabat has given to me a whole new meaning of "Knowledge is key". In the Arabic language "Bab" means Door. I have walked pass and through Bab Dukkula throughout my stay in Marrakech but it's Door (Bab) was closed to me because I didnt have the key (knowledge).
On the night of my return from Rabat, I was too impatient to wait until the morning to find the Masjid. Besides I returned to Marrakech just before Maghrib. I dropped my bags at the Hotel, asked for directions and made way straight to Bab Dukkala, a town that was walking distance from my hotel.
As typical to my journey no find was easy. The Masjid I encountered was quite small. However, I made my prayer in it and afterwards used my Arabic to inquire if this was indeed the one built by Layla Massaouda. I asked an elder, and he informed that no it was not. It was actually the Grand Masjid, in the town. He told me ignore the next small Masjid I would encounter and "Tuduwa" (go straight) until I see the big Masjid.
