@ipa.dawah: Bookman Dutty, one of the first leaders of the Haitian Revolution, may have been a Muslim. His name possibly comes from ‘Book Man’, referring to the Qur’an. Some historians, like Sylviane Diouf, suggest he was Qur’an-literate and practiced Islam. Early sources, such as Dalmas, describe his prayer at Bois Caïman as directed to one God, without mention of saints or spirits. While many later claimed he was a Vodou priest, these accounts mostly come from colonial narratives. There are differing views, but the early evidence leaves open the possibility of his Islamic identity. #islam #haiti #haitianmuslim #ayiti_islam #haitienmusulman #haitidawah #Bondye #ayisyenmizilman #haiti_islam #haitianmuslimah #koran #quran #coran #islamantillais #bookman #muslim #africanmuslim #ummah #antillais #antilles #caribbean #haitiantiktok #caribbeantiktok #slave #esclave #noir #westaf #blackmuslim #freehaiti
