zar is originally a pagan ritual of primitive african tribes. It was transmitted from abyssinia to sudan and from there to Egypt and from Egypt to the rest of the Arab countries. It is believed that summoning the spirits of ancestors, masters, and sheikhs and fulfilling their requests or reincarnating their spirits may lead to the healing of patients who are possessed by jinn
I wonder if this was closer to the original Ancient Egyptian folkways.
no cus it orginate in ethiopia
@@kidusehilegebrial7191 funny
There are other things in our culture that is primarily from ancient Egypt idk the origin of this or when it was made
these are Coptic traditions. Egyptians like most east Africans were and still are Coptic Christians who then converted to Islam
@@IDONTEVENKNOW33 Somalis are Muslims yet practice this (unorthodox and behind closed doors) and call it "Saar" or "Saaris" (exorcism). This was one of the cultural practices from East Africa that influenced North African culture. Meanwhile, circumcision, (both male and female) originated in Egypt and was brought to the rest of Africa. So these cultural-exchanges goes both ways (North-South and South-North).
Just to make it clear this isn't anything islamic
ancient pagan ritual
May Jesus guide us in all our steps
The Zār also believe in Jesus, They are Muslim they believe in his teachings, People can interpret spirituality in various ways.
they are not muslims , a lot of muslims sheikhs forbids these rituals . The zar originated from african tribes and then reached a part of egyptian muslim community and integrated with them (the simplest explanation is that Zar is not an arabic word)...@@ThirdProletariat
Просто отвязные танцы... Но когда это делают религиозные деятели, это экзорцизм, а когда просто люди - это сатанизм и бесовщина.
طقس الزار متوارث من اصلا افريقي
