Really interesting read! A note on the archaeological evidence cited. Mirza writes that excavations show the modern city dates to the 16th century. Actually, the excavations were carried out in & around mosques in the old city & C14 dates do not predates 16th c.

Wonderful Open Access article on Ethiopian Qur'an manuscripts from Harar by Sana Mirza: 'From Harar to Diu: Circulation and Reception of a Qur’anic Manuscript across the Indian Ocean' journal18.org/19-africa/from…
