Thesis
Some Arab writers in the sixteenth century, piously chronicle the origins
of coffee through legends intended to supplements a gap of knowledge
that surround the origins of the beverage. The consumption of fruit of
the coffee plant is first known to be used in Ethiopia in the tenth
century, the consumption of a beverage made from parts of the coffee
bean was first used in the central lands of Islam among Arab- Muslims
during the mid-fifteenth century. The consumption of coffee in the
Muslim world, created the opportunity for new social habits outside the
home that developed controversy and contradicted aspects of Islamic
Law among religious authorities .
