brief history
During the reign of the Umayyad state, Islamic migrations towards the east of the African continent contributed to the entry of a large number of Zanzibar inhabitants into Islam. In the period of the Umayyad caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan, Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi attempted to annex Oman to the Umayyad state. This period was ruled by the brothers Saeed and Suleiman al-Jalandi, where the Chaldean brothers refrained from pilgrims. The latter sent a large army towards Amman, knowing that they would not be able to deter pilgrims, so they fled to their followers.
The migration of the two brothers to Zanzibar led to the consolidation of the Omani presence on the island and resulted in the rulers of the island and the islands belonging to it being followers of the rule of the Imams of Amman. The island continued until the reign of Sultan Said bin Sultan Al Busaidi, The Sultan established cultural ties there with Oman, which included Zanzibar
