The Mazrui Dynasty

The Mazrui Dynasty, an Omani family that settled in East Africa between 1741 and 1837, significantly contributed to the spread of Islam and Arabian culture along the region's coast. This study highlights their pivotal role by tracing their origins, migration motives, and establishment in Mombasa, while also examining their efforts in promoting Islam. The research reveals substantial interactions between Islamic civilization and East African societies during this period, which facilitated the expansion of both religion and cultural influence across the region.
