BABYLON
This is about 85 kilometres (53 miles) south of modern-day Baghdad. Babylon functioned as the main cultural and political centre of the Akkadian-speaking region of Babylonia. Its rulers established two important empires in antiquity, the 19th-16th century BC Old Babylonian Empire, and the 7th-6th century BC Neo-Babylonian Empire. Babylon was also used as a regional capital of other empires, such as the Achaemenid Empire. Babylon was one of the most important urban centres of the ancient Near East, until its decline during the Hellenistic period.

1.Who was Prophet Ezekiel in Islamic and biblical history?
Ezekiel (Hizqil) was a priestly prophet and divine visionary who ministered to the Israelites during their 6th-century BC captivity in Babylon. He served as a spiritual 'watchman', calling his exiled community to repentance, spiritual renewal, and faith in God.
2.When did Prophet Ezekiel live, and where is he buried?
Ezekiel was born around 622 BC in Jerusalem, taken into exile in Babylon in 597 BC, and died around 570 BC at approximately 52 years old. His traditional tomb is located in Al-Kifl, Iraq, a historic site revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.
3.Is Rastafari a Christian religion?
Rastafari is heavily rooted in Christianity and uses the King James Version of the Bible, but it is a distinct religion and not a Christian denomination. Rastas believe that traditional Western Christianity has been corrupted by white colonial powers (referred to as 'Babylon') to suppress Black people. They interpret the Bible through an Afrocentric lens, identifying Black people as the true chosen people of God.
4.What do the terms "Babylon" and "Zion" mean?
In Rastafari theology, these terms represent two opposing spiritual and physical realities:
* Babylon: The corrupt, materialistic, and oppressive global establishment. It includes colonial history, oppressive governments, white supremacy, and exploitative economic systems.
* Zion: The promised land, paradise, and ultimate spiritual home. Physically, Zion is identified as Ethiopia, or Africa as a whole, representing freedom from Babylon and a return to ancestral roots.
5.How did Reggae music influence the Rastafari movement?
Reggae music served as the global vehicle for the Rastafari message. In the 1970s, pioneering Rasta musicians like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer infused their music with Rasta theology, drumming patterns (Nyabinghi), and anti-Babylon lyrics. This transformed Rastafari from a localized Jamaican movement into an internationally recognized global spiritual culture.
