Thanks brother for the great work your doing to document African communities globally.

Can't believe you got the history correct. Well done for pointing out the sheedi where not slaves but traders and soilders.

The "African" is on every corner of the earth.

As a "brown" pakistani (in the UK) love learning about the Shidis (haven't met any before), but their mannerisms and character is totally Pakistani

Thank you, Visual Poet... always on point and eye opening!

Black is beautiful ❤ Muslims are beautiful ❤ Peace and love❤

Thank you for ALL these GREAT videos that you bring to the WORLD my man ! RESPECT ! 😎👍🏾

The siddis were not slaves. At one point they were the rulers of this land. They were muslim then and now.

One of the best vlogs I've ever seen. Thank you, this is so informative and beautiful delivered 👏

Love you show very good information and interesting thank you for sharing beautiful.

Ooow wauw never heard of it ! Thanks for showing us your journey.

Thanx much good bruh Sid...always excellent work...Afrikans in Pak rarely given exposure to the world...drums beat the same way in Abidjan and Karachi...please keep up the good world...God will surely bless you always...✊💪🙌🙏👀

Thanks visualpoet, your videos are so enlightening. 👍

Another great video young man! Continue to show that Africans are everywhere!

Such beautiful people and children. The young boy at the end had so much energy and love. May God bless him and all his family.

Black, White, Brown, Arab, Asian, African or any other race, color, language or religion. We are MUSLIMS❤ May Allah make it easy and bring us away from shirk and towards tauwheed

Fantastic video brother, thank you for documenting this.

That is amazing one big family . Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Their amazing seamanship got them from East Africa to Karachi. Idiotic racist Indian comments about them being Mughal slaves are wrong. If the Mughal emperors had african slaves Mughl capitals Delhi and Agra would be full of African descendants. These are top seafaring people of the coast. I didnt see any shirk nobody bowed to the grave only prayed fatiha as in sunnah. Nobody there believes in reincarnation. The crocodiles are a heritage of the saint and show respect for all life. The video shows love and friendship between African Syidis (lords, Sayyids), and non African Sindhis, Balochis and Urdu speaking of thet area. The saint converted the local "untouchable low caste" people to islam and freed them from Hindu caste system. So they visit and show respect with simple love no shirk. They Syidis and non Africans all give respect in a shared shrine and multiracial egalitarian way of Islam. They are dressed in Pakistan clothes but are African except to blind people trolling here. Great vlog Mashaallah.

Very interesting . Good job !

We are all one nation, black, brown red, white or brown. One love ❤ Allaahu akbar!

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

هذا الڨيديو يذكّرني بقول الله عزّ و جلّ في القرآن الكريم : ...وَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوباً وَ قَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنٍدَ اللهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ

Wonderful update on our people in India ! Shalom

Fascinating stuff. You really do take the road less travelled. Can't believe you considered going in with the crocs 😭😭😭

I'm waching your video in Brazil, nice video brow

hi.. those babies are cuties.. especially the little girl who was hiding.. and the other baby who said i am fine what about you... he tickle me.. 😄what a personality!.. be blessed

Wow I never knew they existed in Pakistan 🇵🇰..Thanks for sharing this video ❤

the language they are speaking is balochi and let me clear one thing they were no slave, they were the navy force of Talpurs but when brit took over they were forced to move to lyari, manghopir and badin Proud Of Seedi brothers

Good job brother. Please check lighting next time.

it was nice meeting you in raja bazaar rawalpindi

Great story. Thank you.

While they are from the Siddi community, they are considered Pakistanis just like everyone else.

Afro Pakistanese, have a lady elected into the National Assembly. Our extended African family in Pakistan are still excluded economicaly and holding important positions in society. Great work of connecting them to Motherland Africa.

I truly enjoyed watching these people and their customs. They are all so beautiful and I love them. It is wonderful to see that Pakistan is a country with such beauty. I would love to visit the whole Pakistan. You are such a lovely person @Visualpoet1 with such positive vibration that's why wherever you go in this beautiful planet of ours you will be greeted with love and kindness. We need more love and kindness. It is not important where we descent from, it is most important that we know that we are all One and beautiful faces of GOD. Much love and appreciation.

Truly Bantu. Wide nose full lips. Almighty is great 🙏🏿Quite surprised to notice how closely related to the culture of Pokomos of East Africa (Tana River County, Kenya) the Sidis are. Crocodiles and drums are a common theme.

How did a mosque become a shrine? And why are you saying what you didn't understand... Am in Karachi right now. And I know this place. These are Muslim brothers. Proudly Muslim 🎉

Great episode! Love you work as usual

visual poet, waiting for your vids in Iraq Basra also a place called zanjistan in Iran. what about majority African areas of London Paris and in southern USA states. Brazil, Ecuador, South America in general. Also Australian, Austronesian aborigines, Afro turks and the Afrophilippines.

Very interesting thank you very much

Nice and good. Thanks for sharing it. Just a humble request that neighbors should keep their surroundings clean.

Thank you so much Sir 💞🌎 for this great history

"Habsha" is a Ancient name of Abyssynia and those people who used to live there was known as "Habshi".

30:58 He's a confident young man with his good English, "I am fine! What about you?!" "...Very surprise!" Thanks for sharing your interesting travels!

Was funny when Sid checked his guide if he's coming in with him into the crocodile pit....made me laugh alot..

The Drums beats and chanting of words ''Ngoma Aliselema'' sounds like ''swahili ngomas'' in Tanzania.

Personally I wasn’t knew this story… but new and beautiful… but I do know monggo pir… Hazzrat always have a special place in lot of people’s life ..Shukria

In Islam, the veneration of shrines is strictly forbidden as it constitutes shirk, the act of associating partners with God in worship-the gravest sin in the Islamic faith. May Allah guide us all on the righteous path.

Very interesting thank you ( Pakistan authorities seem to do nothing about collecting trash/ rubbish in the streets as per the pictures , terrible)

Now this is a beautiful story and history.

Mashallah Very beautiful to see you

God bless

Machaa’Allah! Grand pa’ was very happy to see you. 😀

Welcome.to.karachi.Lovely city of Sindh

I am not buttering but bro I have never seen honest,loving and nicest people ever other Pathans and Blacks❤❤❤They are GEMS

He's too cute❤❤❤His English is excellent 🫶👌

You do have a beautiful story….

Blacks and Asians have the most beautiful looking noses and eyes which makes face so clear and wide

I have never seen a little black girl so free. They are one people, regardless of the shade of blackness. It is a peaceful environment for sure.

Wonderful people

Thank you for the education, i appreciate it and keep up the work

😊😊👍🏽

thanks for the video. would've been nice if you showed the biography of the shrine pir for 2 seconds longer and with clear camera focus so we could press pause and read it. no idea why you did that mate. if you have time please put a clear video still up on the channel community page

Karachi is a multicultural city ❤❤❤

❤

I’m pretty sure they are mostly associated with the balochis. Coastal Baluchistan province in Pakistan was joined at the hip with the Omani sultanate which stretched from Zanzibar Tanzania to Baluchistan Pakistan. They are the descendants of slave trade that the Omanis operated during that time. That’s why you also find Afro descendants in Oman even. and balochis are actually huge in number in Oman as well. Omanis probably brought slaves/slave soldiers to the west coast of India as well, along with other arabs and the portuguese. They were also involved in this indian ocean slave trade.

Allah is one. Islam is a monotheism religion. Please do not do bidat....any innovation in islam will count against you on the day of judgment. Shirk is in the hell fire. Worship ALLAH alone. That is the right path. Please stick to the Quran and Sunnat. May Allah guide all humanity to islam. Peace to all ❤ Allah is one.

Salam from Bangladesh

Any Muslim calling other fellow Muslims a kafir or mushriq is himself one as per the Prophet saw. What this comment section is filled with wahabis may Allah guide them.

Ilike to visit karachi one day inshaallah

Please don’t mix culture and religion. Just appreciate diversity and don’t comment about anything about religion

Those guys performing the ritual at the entrance of the tomb area are hustlers who have set up shop to earn a few rupees. You find similar at most shrines in the Asian sub continent

Need sum tlc .

Hello bro , this is J.B we have met last Saturday in murree . Do you remember me ? ....

👌👌👌

this kind of drum is from west africa mostly mali they call it janbe

You will find many different kind of ridiculous practices in Pakistan. Most of these have been influenced by Hindu traditional practices

These seem to be good Muslims,they love people ❤, They are infact true Muslims

I am Pakistani but I am seeing this place for the first time in your video.

‏السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

Come to The Gambia!

My brothers in islam, AssalamAlikum

I want to share you the name (Habshis)>> "Habesha" is used to call the people lives in central Ethiopian East Africa areas. In the ancient times peolpes were moved from Africa to different parts of the world.

In Balochistan ..shedis are Baloch ..In Makuran divission.

On the other hand there is a big population of pakistani/indian origin settling in Africa specially east coast like Kenya, Tanzania, and Somalia.

Shidi is an african tribe - the original people landed or ship wrecked here. they stayed and lived here. The only black people indians/pakistanis had seen were from the shidi tribe so all black people are refered to as shidi. This tribe still exists in africa i believe.

This is the history of my brothers that the whiteman does not want you to know.

My greetings my Africa

Habshi seems like what my Ethiopean neighbours says his country use to called Abyssinia (Habashiyya).

There are a lot of Siddis in India. In Karnataka and Gujarat. They're Hindu Muslim n Christians.

Siddis are a unique and glorious people in India. 'Sai Baba of Shirdi' was also one of them. The 'Truth' now - has, and must be revealed!!! 🙂

mashallah ,, mashallah ,, majoretey black african are african muslim such as nigeria , egypet , algeria , senegal , and many other countrey may allah united and powerful muslim population ..

I know some Ethiopians who call themselves habisha. I wonder if the word habshi is related to that.

May Allah protect us from this Polythiesm, that shrine worship and keylocks and rituals is not Islam.

Did the old man say the African community has been there since the 1300s? Fascinating video, thank you.

I ve visited Pakistan 5 times . No one ever complained about our neithebourly brothers or nor we ever will. The blood is red always. Message to the white man

Habshi sound very close to Habesha/Ethiopia.....they might have Ethiopian origin.

they are baloch long agao they came and mixed in baluch tribes of makuran balochistan

Wealth is of the heart and not possessions…

All hunan being from every walk of life should be celebrated, regardless of language, color, ethnicity. This Great GOD OF OURS see us as precious even when we worship idols. He is not please but in the fullness of time He will bring us all togather and all our fears will be gone. We need to love and respect each other while alive, once dead that chance is gone. Satan is keeping us ignorant ant we allow it. All little children should be taught that we are all desendant of one couple Adam and Eve. God/Allah/Jehovah/ Jah has bless his people always. We breathe His breath, enjoy His created earth, His sun, His rain and all His created venues. Remember the song. ' teach the children and let them lead the way.' Thank you for this video, there is an awakening in the spirit realm and only God Almighty can stop it. Love that little boy who speak English, children are the leaders of tomorrow. People pray for them all over the world. 🙏
