Pgymies (Akah) found in Quran
In the Qur’an many ancient nations are mention clearly. They all received a messenger from God and they all rejected their messenger. The ancient so-called pgymy tribe of Africa are a people who live in the forest. They are genetically one of the oldest people on earth. They are very short in stature This tribe is written in the Qur’an as receiving messengers of God. One of their messengers was Shu’ayb therefore he was a pgymy because note God sends messengers from themselves.Qur’an 3:164 Certainly did God confer favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error.
Therefore if God sends a messenger to a people that messenger would be speaking the same language and be of the same tribe. The only exception would be Muhammad a messenger to the all nations. First lest establish who they are according to the Qur’an.
15:78 Since the People of the Forest were unjust,
15:79 We afflicted them with punishment. Both people had clear (divine) authority among them.
The word for forest is l-aykati therefore I can read the verses as the people of l-aykati. Forest is translated in the Quran as thicket, and wood as well. They are mention side by side with other ancient people called the people of Tubba. The African Aka, or Bayaka are forest dwellers. They are masters of the forest. What do they call themselves? They call themselves Biaka. Bi or Ba means people in their language.The Aka people are located in the rain forests of central Africa.The translated word thicket, wood, or forest all mean the same thing basically a forest area. The Arabic word is Al-Aykati.
Qur’an 15:78 And the companions of the thicket were wrongdoers.
Qur’an 38:13 And Thamud, and the people of Lut, and the Companions of the Wood; – such were the Confederates.
Qur’an 50:14 Dwellers of the forest, and the people of Tubba had all rejected the messengers. Thus, they became subject to Our torment.
Here is the story of the people of Al-aykati in the Qur’an. A story of how their ancestors denied their messenger Shu’ayb.
26:176 The dwellers of the forest also rejected the Messengers.
26:177 Shu’ayb asked them, “Why do you not have fear of God? 26:178 I am a trustworthy Messengers. 26:179 Have fear of God and obey me. 26:180 I do not ask any payment for my preaching. I shall receive my reward from the Lord of the Universe. 26:181 “Maintain just measure in your business and do not cause loss to others. 26:182 “And weigh with the true and straight balance. 26:183 and do not defraud people in their property or spread evil in the land. 26:184 “And fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old.”26:185 They said, “You are no more than a bewitched and insane man. 26:186 and a mere mortal like us. We think you are a liar. 26:187 Let a part of the sky fall on us if what you say is true”. 26: 188 He said, “My Lord knows all that you do.” 26:189 They rejected him and then the torment of the gloomy day struck them. It was certainly a great torment. 26:190 In this there is an evidence of the Truth, but many of them did not have any faith. 26:191 And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
If They were destroyed then, why are they still here today?
The destruction happen thousands of years ago and the ones that are here today are the ones who followed Shuyaib their messenger. Since then they are multiple in number, just as we are descendents of Noah’s people.These tribes are much older than the children of Israel and we come from them. The so-called pygmies had messengers come to them. This great ancient people are still today masters of the forest.
