Racism affects the lives of millions around the world and the Muslim community is no different. Allah (SWT) states in the noble Quran that He “created us into nations and tribes so that we may know one another”. As Muslims, the verse itself (49:13) should be sufficient enough guidance on how to get along with others. In this episode our co-hosts Ahmed Abbas & Sayed Ali Radhawi are joined by special guest Br Mohammed Ali discussing racism in the Shia community, at times of marriage and the ethnicity of some of our holy Imams (as).

Never knew Khojas were from all over the world I seriously though it was a language. Truly loved this podcast!! Glad to have found a Shia podcast that speaks about these matters and I pray any racism is removed from all our hearts starting with me.
Salaam Alaykum. We are happy to hear of the positive impact this conversation is having. More importantly as mentioned in your feedback, we ask Allah swt to eradicate any racism from our hearts inshAllah.
Hope y’all great,
Mohamed Ali, this guy is Rare,
His personality, Logics & great philosophy. While watching i realise that, he is probably very unpopular & underrated guy. Rare talent for youth.
I want him to come over many podcasts & TV channels.
Salaam - Thank you for this feedback. We truly enjoyed having Br Mohamed Ali join our conversation.
Great podcast! In particular, I was interested to hear about the attitudes of some parents to their children potentially marrying somebody of another ethnicity. Surely Islam is something which brings Muslims together, and which unites us across ethnic boundaries. I'm a revert and haven't encountered this personally, though I know at least one woman (who was Asian) who said that her parents would have a problem with somebody who was black. I was speechless - it's so depressing. 😔
Absolutely - it's not the way things should be and definitely not a religious approach - rather it's cultural bias and bad habits. Thank you for your feedback Brother!
Smashing talk guys! BIG Love to all races and backgrounds! Islam sees us all as one so thank you for speaking on our behalf as reverts when it comes to marriage.
Salaam Alaykum. It is a honor for us all here at After Magrib to see reverts like yourself find value in our podcasts.
Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah. I love you all, your podcasts are so enlightening!! Maa Sha Allah. From Ghana ❤
I think refusing marrying from another country not always for racist issues. Different heritage and mores many times bring troubles.
But it may succeed some times depending on the extent of differences and characteristics of the one who is marrying if she/he is flexible and families and so on.
I know girls for example who reject white people because of differences.
And not always white people are good looking many brown or black are more beauty.
just like white jesus we have persian Imams, peace be upon them all
I thought I am not racist as I am okay with getting married from non Iraqis but except white ppl. This is because as a hijabi living in Australia I experience racism from white ppl all the time . Therefore I always choose to study or work in areas where there are not many white as I don't feel safe around them. plus I believe their why of thinking and culture don't suit me at all. Like getting married to a Pakistani is not like getting married to a white guy as we have similar culture and traditions. Imagine going with a white husband to eat out and tell me to pay from my food 😅.
Salaam. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. We hope you found the conversation beneficial.
If that's not racism I don't know what is. Has it ever occurred to you that that ALL human groups behave this way when significant numbers of foreigners come to their country? I live in Iraq and Iraqis behave exactly the same way when it comes to black Iraqis whom they still call "abeed" (slaves). Maybe engaging in Western classical culture like learning classical music would make you realize that 1. not all white people are racist, 2. they are more than happy to share their heritage with others and 3. that assimilating their culture without losing your own will earn you respect and admiration. Stereotyping all white people this way is quite outrageous. No respectable native European man will ever ask his wife to pay when going to the restaurant...
Salam aleykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu dear brothers, in Sha Allah you're well.
Are you going to speak about Music in depth in one of your future podcasts, in Sha Allah?
Jazakum Allah khair
Alaykum AlSalaam - Yes we are going to be speaking about Music on the podcast soon. Stay tuned!

Our Prophet is from an African women’s lineage “Hajar” ... if we are thinking about Imam Mehdi’s (AS) skin color then we are in a grave danger...
Any racist shi’ah in our time would not Pay allegiance to Imam Jawad AS because he couldn’t Imagine a black Imam with facial features of prophet Muhammad SAWW.
Prophets Musa & Suleiman were blacks....❤❤❤❤
What’s a khoja
All the BLM support in the world won't be able to wash away the following facts:
1. Much of the Khoja community (not all) made its fortune in the East African slave trade right up to the beginning of the 20th century. Even when the British banned slavery many Khojas moved to Zanzibar where slavery was still legal.
2. When you speak of Imams of African descent again this is again another tactic: the "African" wives of the Imams were Berber who were captured into slavery because they were...white skinned. Only one Imam is said to maybe have had a Sub-Saharan wife and even then in her case two other origins are given (Berber or Gallo-Roman from Southern France).
3. Anti-white racism in the Shi'i community is VERY real and far more virulent with very famous examples of white converts leaving the faith due to racism such as Amy Hodgkins (she recently converted to Catholicism and has panic attacks every time she sees anything Shi'ah related) or Leyla Hussain (Jewish convert who was so abused by the community that she fled to Germany where she became an atheist). I personally know two white convert shuyukh who cut all ties with the community due to racism and I know another white convert shaykh who committed suicide in 2007 because of the racism of the London Shi'ah community.
You don't fool anyone. We know the facts and the times you could buy us as slaves and treat us as such (slavery was banned in Iran in 1919...) is over. We are creating our own Shi'ism...The Sun will rise from the West!
