Prophet mohammed, peace be upon him, loved the African christians. His early followers suffered immensely & their properties were confiscated so he sent them to the horn of Africa to seek refuge “Go to Abyssinia, for there is a king there who does not wrong anyone” Somalia has a mosque that has two qiblas (Jerusalem → Mecca). The level of respect & love that he showed to them won their hearts!
