Zumbi dos Palmares - leader of the rebellious slaves

We are walking with Russian tourists along Pelourinho, in the very center of Praça da Se (Praca da S "e) we see a monument: a warrior, dressed only in a loincloth, stands leaning on a spear of impressive size.

- This is Zumbi dos Pbutlmares…

- What are the zombies under the palm trees?

- Not zombies, but Zumbi, emphasis on "and". This is the legendary leader of the rebellious slaves, the Brazilian Spartacus ... That is, not a football team, but the Spartacus who led the uprising of gladiators in Ancient Rome.

For Brazilian history, Zumbi dos Palmares is a figure no less important than Spartacus is for the history of the ancient Roman state.

Zumbi lived in the 17th century. He was born in a secret settlement of runaway slaves in the state of Alagoas. Hidden from the authorities, lost in the forests, the villages of the fugitives were called quilombo. A few days after the birth of the boy, soldiers discovered the quilombo. The inhabitants of the village were killed or lost their freedom. Padre Antonio Melo (Ant "onio Melo) took the baby to him, baptized and made him his assistant when he grew up. The boy, who received the name Francisco, served at masses, studied Portuguese and Latin.

At the age of 15, Francisco ran away from the priest's house in Quilombo Palmares in the state of Pernambuco. Here he received a new name - Zumbi, which means "ghost warrior." In those days, Palmares was a vast territory that was completely controlled by runaway slaves. According to various sources, from 15 to 20 thousand people lived in it. This quilombo was formed in the 30-50s of the XVIII century, during the attempts of the Dutch to conquer part of the Brazilian lands. The difficulties of the war led the Portuguese to partially lose control of their slaves, and they fled to freedom in the hundreds. By the end of the war, an independent and well-organized community of former slaves appeared in the state, consisting of several large settlements.

The existence of Palmares undermined the foundations of slavery. Military expeditions against him did not bring results. Finally, Governor Aires Sousa Castro and one of the leaders of the community, Ganga Zumba, signed an agreement in 1678 that all quilombo inhabitants born in it receive freedom. Also, under the agreement, the community was given barren lands in the Kokau (Coca "u) region. Most of the quilombo residents did not support this agreement. Ganga was poisoned by one of his entourage.

It was during this difficult period that a young leader appeared in Palmares - Zumbi. In the fight against the enslavers, the former priest's servant has already shown himself to be a brave and successful commander. Zumbi and his warriors successfully repelled the attacks of the Portuguese on the quilombo. Moreover, they attacked the haciendas and freed the slaves who joined their ranks. Zumbi resented the terms of the peace with the governor: "Why can only people born in quilombo of our people be free?"

In 1694, the shock forces of the Portuguese royal army were sent to fight the rebels. They were led by a mercenary from São Paulo, Domingos Jorge Velho, experienced in chasing Indians in the forests. In one of the battles, Zumbi was wounded, but was able to escape. A year later, he stood at the head of 2,000 warriors. The rebels were divided into several groups. They attacked small towns and seized weapons from local police garrisons. During the battle, a rebel commander named Antonio Soares (Ant^onio Soares) was wounded and taken prisoner. He was tortured to find out Zumbi's secret hideout, but through threats and torment, it was not possible to extract a confession. The Portuguese changed tactics: they promised the prisoner freedom. Antonio believed and agreed to betray his leader. On November 20, 1965, he led the Portuguese to the secret hideout of the rebels. They say that when Zumbi saw Antonio return, he hugged him ... and was stabbed in the stomach. The Portuguese attacked the hideout and everyone in it was killed or taken prisoner.

In 1997, the Brazilian government recognized Zumbi dos Palmares as a national hero. In 2003, a bill was passed, according to which the day of his death - November 20, was declared the National Day of African Self-Consciousness (Dia Nacional da Consci^encia Negra). Currently, this day is recognized as an official holiday in 436 cities in Brazil, including Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In Salvador, the day of November 20 has not yet received the status of an official holiday. But can a city where the majority of the inhabitants are people of the African race fail to celebrate this day? On November 20, several marches against racism and racial discrimination take place here. One of them is in the city center. This demonstration goes along Avenida 7, from Campo Grande to the city Parliament building. It involves religious and social associations, whose members are mostly Afro-Brazilians, and representatives of organizations involved in social work in poor and disadvantaged neighborhoods, where the bulk of the population are descendants of slaves.

The second march takes place in the area with the speaking name Liberdade. This word means "freedom". It is in this part of Salvador that most people of the African race live. The carnival blocks Ile Aiye (Ii ^e Aiy ^e), Cortejo Afro (Cortejo Afro) and Male de Bale (Mal ^e de Bal ^e) participate in the procession on Liberdad. The words "Ile Aiye" in the Yoruba language mean "house of the Africans"; Cortege Afro - the name is understandable, the cortege is also a cortege in Africa; and Male de Bale ("dancing males") named themselves after Salvadorian slave rebels.

These were captives from the Muslim regions of Africa, who suffered not only from the hardships of slavery, but also from religious discrimination. They were called male (mal^e), which is translated from the Yoruba language as Muslim. Male were experienced warriors. They developed a plan for the uprising. These people called their rebellion "jihad" - a holy war. On the night of January 25-26, 1835, a detachment of rebels took to the streets of the central district of Vitoria (Vit "oria). They walked towards the outskirts of Aqua dos Meninos ("Aqua dos Meninos"), where they planned to join with another group, and then go to capture the surrounding haciendas and raise the slaves to fight. The plans of the male included the overthrow of the government of Bahia and the establishment of their power in the region. But the forces were too unequal to accomplish this. In the area of Aqua dos Meninos, the males were surrounded by soldiers and defeated in battle: 200 people were captured, of which 4 leaders of the uprising were shot.

The Liberdad event also features an Afro-style popular music band called "Os Neg~oes". The word "nego" (n e gu) in the local dialect means a dark-skinned person. It is not considered offensive, it is used as an affectionate and friendly address. They often say "neg~ao" to each other, that is, a big "nego", since "-~ao" is an augmentative suffix. "Os Neg~oes" is the plural of "neg~ao". It turns out something like "Super Negros".

Another march takes place in the Lower City. It is organized by the Popular Culture Movement in the suburbs (Movimento de Cultura Popular de Sub "urbio). The lower city is located in a lowland, hence the name, but, unfortunately, the Lower City is called that not only literally, but also figuratively. These are outlying areas of Salvador where the standard of living is lower than in the center.There is less celebration and more politics.As one of the organizers of the action - Raimilton Carvalho said: "On this day we talk about our struggle and our victories from the days of Zumbi to our time."

The future leader of Palmaris was born in 1655 in the territory of the modern municipality of União dos Palmaris. At the age of six, he was kidnapped by the Portuguese and given to one of the missionary churches, the priest Antonio Mel. There the boy was baptized under the name Francis and began to study sciences and languages. In 1670, he fled the church and returned to his homeland, where he joined the defenders of Palmaris, accepting Islam and the name Zombi - Zumbi.

Zombie - Zumbi quickly became known for his prowess, intelligence and rare resourcefulness in combat. He participated in numerous battles with the invaders, and was wounded. When in 1678 a peace unfavorable for Palmaris was concluded between the warring parties, Zombie - Zumbi refused to recognize this unfair agreement. Soon the defenders of Palmaris, led by Zombi - Zumbi managed to expel the colonialists from the territory they occupied.

As a leader, Zombi - Zumbi organized the manufacture of weapons and military supplies by the inhabitants of Palmaris. He made many successful raids into the Portuguese occupied territories, so a large bounty was placed on his head. However, for more than 15 years, the Zombie-Zumbi raids did not meet with worthy resistance. Only in 1694, having gathered a large army, the Europeans undertook a blockade of the capital Palmaris. Soon, due to a long siege and betrayal in the ranks of the Muslims, the city fell. Most of the inhabitants of Palmaris were brutally killed or sold into slavery.

However, Zombi - Zumbi managed to escape from the Portuguese and continue the fight for almost two years. On November 20, 1695, he was handed over to the authorities as a mulatto, captured and beheaded on the spot. His body was brutally mutilated.

In order to destroy the name of the legendary Muslim hero Zombie - Zumbi in history, the media made a laughing stock of Zombie, the "body of the walking dead", which to this day entertains people in Hollywood films and computer games. Zumbi's head was moved to Recife and put on public display in the central square.

In modern Brazil, the day of the death of Zumbi - Zumbi, November 20, is celebrated as the Day of Conscience of Blacks (port. Consciência negra), which is of particular importance to Brazilians of African descent, who honor Zumbi as a fighter for freedom and independence.

It was the ruler of the Muslims "Zombie", a legendary man and hero of the heroes of the Muslim state in Brazil, who has African roots. The zombie was named "Black Brave" for his bravery!

It became famous after the occupation of Brazil by Portugal, and after the Islamic shores of West Africa were attacked, its inhabitants were taken prisoner and planted in the holds of ships in order to provide workers. This happened in 1539 when they were enslaved and forcibly converted to Christianity. In 1675, the legendary hero Zombie appeared.

He began to call people to the true faith, to encourage and support the slaves. When his supporters were morally strengthened and his followers multiplied, he founded the great Muslim state in Brazil "Palmaris".

As the new Zombie State began to expand into Brazil, Europe banded together to destroy it. Numerous crusades were soon organized against the Zombie and his new prosperous state. The war lasted for several decades. The zombies made them taste a series of bitter defeats. Subsequently, a protracted war and a blockade from Europe greatly weakened Palmaris, and as a result of betrayal by the Muslims, the legendary Muslim hero Zombie was killed.

When the Portuguese caught Zombie, they brutally abused his body, cutting off his head and parts of his body. They mocked him and put his head on display to the people, and his followers were brutally killed and sold into slavery. The genocide of Muslims lasted twenty years, so that the name of Zombie and his followers would not even be in sight.

Soon, under the pressure of powerful propaganda, the name of the greatest hero in Zombie history turned into a laughingstock and was forgotten. We also see how the media carefully tries to hide the belonging of the legendary national hero of Brazil Zombie to Islam.

My way islam:
Many of the people, when joking with each other, or scaring children or watching films about "zombies", do not know the history of the word and the name Zombie, if Muslims knew about it, they would not use this word in their speeches like that, because the American West did not accidentally call terrible dead in their Hollywood films "Zombies", carrying their Dajjal propaganda from childhood to the whole world, insulting this name, just as they insult the victorious community of our time today, carrying lies and bad stories of non-existent stories, may Allah glorify this community.

So who is the Zombie?

A man named Zombie, and his full name was Janja Zombie, was a believing Muslim, a monotheist and a Mujahid, a hero and leader, the Amir of Muslims of his time and the ruler of the Muslim state in Brazil, he was called the "black brave man" for his courage and invincibility to the infidels.

It became known after the occupation of Brazil by Portugal, and after the Islamic shores of West Africa were attacked, its inhabitants were taken prisoner and planted in the holds of ships in order to provide labor and enslave the Islamic world. This happened in 1539 when they were enslaved and forced into Christianity by force. In 1775, Janja Zombie appeared.

He began to call people to Islam, explaining the reasons for the trials and punishments from Allah that befell them. He began to call for liberation from slavery, and when his like-minded people multiplied, he announced the establishment of the state of Islam in Brazil, the center of which he made "Palmaris"

When the Muslim state in Brazil began to expand, the Christians united to destroy it. In this way, several crusading campaigns were carried out to destroy Islam in Brazil, and this continued for several decades. The zombies made the enemies of Islam and Muslims taste the bitterness of successive defeats by resisting them for 50 years. Due to the large number of crusades against them, the state began to gradually weaken, which led to numerous betrayals inside, as a result, the state was defeated and the Zombie itself fell.
When the Portuguese infidels found Zombie, they mocked and abused his body by cutting off his head, members of his body, mocked him and exposed him to people, and killed other Muslims or sold them in the slave market. The destruction of the Muslims lasted two decades, so that the Zombie did not even remain in sight.

And the Zionist crusaders, led by the church, have taken up information offensives (Hollywood), showing the zombie people in the most terrible forms and deeds, in order to destroy the name and history of their enemy, the Muslim Zombies and Muslims in general, and this is what we find in movies and electronic games are everywhere today!

Know your history about Muslims and teach this to your children so that they become a better generation than ours, and all praise be to Allah alone.

Who is the zombie? Information for Muslims! (Part 3)

His father, a desperate Muslim who was brought from Africa, who could not endure the humiliation of vile people, fled to Palmaris. If desired, that his child will be born a free Muslim. In the palm forests of northeastern Brazil, in the territory of the captaincy of Pernambuco, black Muslims with white and free hearts founded the independent state of Palmaris.

In 1630 The first fortified settlements of runaway slaves (called quilombos) appeared in the forests of Pernambuco at the end of the 16th century. In the 1630s a primitive early class state arose with elements of tribal organization and patriarchal slavery. At the head of the state stood a paramount leader elected for life, who had the highest spiritual authority, and a council of Muslim elders, sheikh hafiz, who taught them good morals and religion. Their main task was to provide defense with the forces of the general militia and the creation of food and weapons depots.

The population of Palmares, reaching 20 thousand people (runaway Muslim slaves, as well as mulattoes, Indians), were engaged in agriculture, crafts (pottery, textile, metal processing), and barter with Indian tribes.

Ganga Zombie was born free there. But a tragedy happened: in childhood, when he was six years old, he went hunting with his father in a border area, his father taught his son martial arts and hunting from early childhood, he wanted to see his son as a warrior who could stand up for himself, it happened so by accident a gang of canquistadors stumbled upon the eyes of the little Zombie warrior father, who resisted with terrible force, but the forces were not equal, the warrior of honor fell, and they took away the little Zombie Abdullah by force, and gave him to one of the missionary churches, priest Antonio Mel. There the boy was baptized under the name of Francisco and began to study sciences and languages. The thought of the murdered father did not leave him, the boy did not understand why his beloved father was killed, and why he was separated from his mother. Hiding his thirst for revenge, he resignedly studied, in a short time he studied several languages and various sciences.

Ganga Zombie could no longer endure, his strength was exhausted, he was barely 15 years old in 1670, he fled the church and returned to his homeland, where he joined the defenders of Palmaris, taking the name of Zombie, having taught the reading of the Koran from the sheikhs, he quickly moved to glory, for his achievements in struggle and reason were amazing. Zombie quickly becomes known for his valor and cunning in battle, participated in several battles with the colonialists, was injured.

Later becomes the new High Chieftain of Palmaris. Soon the defenders of Palmaris, led by Zombie, succeeded in driving the colonizers out of their territory. The territory occupied by him reached 27 thousand square meters. kilometers, where up to 20 thousand fugitive Muslim slaves lived.

Since the quilombo constantly attracted slaves from all the vast territories of Brazil and even the Netherlands Guiana, the colonialists made great military efforts to eliminate it. Zombie organized many raids on the Portuguese colonies, which ended in a complete fiasco for the troops guarding these colonies. The few survivors of such raids spoke of the terrible martial art of black slaves, who tied knives to their feet and waved them in such a way that nothing could be opposed to such work with weapons.
