- The Muslim Unity Center welcomes Imam Dawud Walid and Ustadh Mustafa Briggs-author of Beyond Bilal-as they breakdown Islam's black history, expanding on the argument that this history is much richer than simply the biography of Bilal (RA)!
Beyond Bilal explores and uncovers the deep rooted relationship between Islam and Black History, from Black Prophets and prominent figures in the Qur'an, to the unknown black Sahaba and scholars of the early generations, the history of Islam in Africa, and the legacy of contemporary African Islamic scholarship and its role in the International Relations of the Muslim World.

Indeed! Maa shaa Allah!
Mashaallah little bro got an amazing voice ❤ what surah is he reciting?
@@alidemir1997 salam, surah Al hujurat
What a Blessed young man❤.
Mashallah my brother. Thank you for this valuable history lesson. Im ordering your book Beyond Bilal today.
MashaAllah. May Allah bless you all!
I am glad to see this lecture showing that people with melanin or dark people so called black people are connected to the lineage of Father Prophet Abraham, peace and blessings upon him. ☝🏽💖 ☝🏿☝🏾☝🏼☝🏻
Subhanallah ✨🙇🏾♂️🛸
السلام عليكم.
Why do you two use material from my forum Save the True Arabs and perhaps my book The Unknown Arabs without citing me or my forum as a reference? What's my material is known.
Perhaps it would be good to reach out to them?
@@mop6279 I did reach out to one of them and I must say that his response was disappointing.
@@mop6279 I'm sorry. It wasn't them that I reached out to. It was Abdullah Hamid Ali.
In the poetic words of Boona Mohammed, "I'd rather have a black skin than a black heart."
I am not even black, but as a Muslim that hit deep. The irony that light skinned people, sadly many of them jaahil Muslims, denigrate black people without even realising that their own hearts are way darker spiritually than the beautiful outward appearance of our black brothers and sisters.
And on the day of judgement, we all know Allah will look at those who come with sound heart.
There was no need of you to address that you're black or not, and for your information there are also black people who are very racist. I lived in Africa and I speak from experience
May Allah blessed this young reciter in the dunya and akhirah. Ameen.
Aameen Ya Rabb
Thumma Aamin!!😊
This little brother is beautiful
May Allah continue to bless that young man throughout his entire life.
Ameen
Subhanlaa
This is so fascinating learning about black Muslims so eloquently conveyed by Imam Dawud and Ustadh Mustafa. May Allah bless them and grant us unity despite our different colours and communities
Masha Allah this is heart-warming. May Allah’s Barakah and Rahmah continue to be over the Faithful. Ameen
I been trying so long to learn the story of Mali and Mansa and their Islamic culture and religion. Thank you I m on my way to buy the book
Just a quick reminder. All the prophets in the Torah, Injeel, and Quran were Black.
In Zimbabwe, they have the saying "Until the lion learns to write (tells his story), every story will always glorify the hunter. "
Nagaraju Gajula, director at Telugu Film Industry, explained this by saying "As long as the lion can't write, the hunter keeps telling his side of the story. His heroic acts in the jungle, his expeditions, medals and bravery are glorified in all of his stories. He could say that the Lion runs away and hides on his arrival, scared of him. He could tell stories of how he saved the animals under the attack of the Lion. He may describe the stories of cruel and barbaric nature of the Lion, and how he spared its life when he caught it. The people who listens to him will trust him as they don’t know the other side of the story.
But by the time Lion learns to read and write, it can debate and reject many of the claims, revealing the true nature of the hunter. It can write its version of the story saying how scared is the hunter on seeing the lion, how he survived on dead animals, how cruel he was to the small and innocent creatures, how he hunts down animals for fun. It can describe how he trapped the animals and tortured them to death, and how he disobeyed the laws of the forest.
Although the explanation is the literal description of the sentence, it has more subtle meaning. Every time a civilized society is established in the history, a barbaric tribe or invaders attack and destroy their history and re-write what they intend it to be. It was the reason many of the flourished civilizations remained in history. Their cultures, languages, religions were lost. Some of the invaders who destroyed them are hailed as great emperors.
The stories of the war are told by the one who won it. Most of the emperors are described as great because no one dares to write against them. The invaders eradicate the cultural identity of native kingdoms and establish their rule as if they’re doing them a favor. Then the religious practices and ceremonies are ridiculed. Finally they instill a sense of inferiority in the native people and exploit it in their favor. The colonization, too, followed this pattern. This concept is widely applicable to many events of the history. And it frankly describes us that what we call history is just one side of the story."
With both Black People's history and the history of Muslims, the story is different when told by non-Black People or non-Muslims than by the people themselves because the writers had a hidden agenda to glorify themselves and wished to justify their enslavement and colonization of the people (and, in the case of Muslims, to discourage people from becoming Muslim).
For the record, I have read Edward Wilmont Blyden's book "Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race" and, when he reaches Africa he cites a letter he wrote to an important official there, in which he signs his name "Kareem." This indicates that he might have become Muslim. Sylvane Di'ouf speaks about in her book "Servants of Allah: African Muslims Enslaved in the Americas", how many Muslims in the United States pretended to become Christian in order to be sponsored by the abolitionists to return to Africa and, once they reached Africa's shores, reaffirmed their Shahada. This may have been the case with Blyden or he might have been so impressed by his research on Islam that he took Shahada in Africa!
My God . Where are the people that wants to burn Quran? Where are there? Can’t they see Quran is in moslem’s heart not on pieces of book. They can burn all books they want. But they can never never ever burn Quran from moslem’s heart. That is miracle it self. ما شا الله young and beautiful in heart. May Allah swt Grant you Jannah.
ALHAMDULILLAH!!! This young man will one day become a Hafeez. His recitation was just beautiful. ALLAHUAKBAR!!! I must say that the NAME ALLAH must not be changed to the name "God". ALLAH SAYS in HIS BOOK, AL QURAN, to call HIM by the names HE HAS CHOSEN FOR HIMSELF.
there are way more black Muslims that we know about so maybe your following the wrong teachers May Allah help us understand the truth Ameen
let us talk more about the Moroccan and American connects KHALIFA Khalifate CALIFA CALIFORNIA AMER AMIR AMEERICA
As’ salaam alaikum☀️🌿
Each one teach one is the Faith in knowledge which cuts through ignorance☀️♥️☀️
Black, brown, blonde and anything in between were there from the beginning. Eve and Adam had those children.
I don’t know why Dawud mentions about people judging the kufar of the Nation, no one is judging them especially when truth comes to them then they leave the falsehood practices but not saying forget your transition, forgetting your past.
This was a beautiful lecture Alhamdulillah
As salaamu Alikum Awesome information but Dr. Abdullah Quick from America wrote 90% of what you talked about 35 years ago Alhamdulillah
Salaam Alaikum
One Ummah
Our Creator that made and gave life to us all, reminds us there is no separation in Al Islam Al Quran Al Kareem 3:103, 6:159
I'll just call you curly in English.. instead of "black"
Why is it that Dr. Wesley Muhammad is the only Black person afraid to proclaim unapologetically that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was Black? Interesting observation.
How do you discuss the history of al-Islam in America and don't acknowledge Imam Warithuddin Mohammed (raa), who led millions to the true Aqedah of Islam after the death of his father Elijah Muhammad.
The khazars has taken over their Master teacher
E.W. Blyden was originally from what was then the Danish West Indies, now the United States Virgin Islands. He was born on the island of Saint Thomas.
This is history.
He said... Rastafari 😂😂😂
People will be blue in heaven 😂
Ma sha Allah ❤may Allah swt preserve you dear!!
As Salaamu Alaikum
We do not speak about groups like the so called nation of Islam, and the likes thereof in a good manner, because they purposely perverted the true message of Islam to suit their own agenda. The Arabs that you speak of during, and before the Prophet's SAW time were ignorant and had never sought to promote Islam in any way whatsoever. We don't speak highly, or respectfully about individuals, or groups who knowingly LIE on Allah. You know what Allah says about those who lie on him.
This isn't entirely true, and their origins are much too complicated to speak about in such hyperbolic language. To be fair, many of the beliefs they still hold on to were actually borrowed from much older Muslim traditions, such as the literalist understanding of God having a physical form and the belief in 12 earthly/heavenly imams (Ghulat Shia). There are other innovations, though they appeared as sort of a foundation myth to support the identity they were attempting to restore. While we can reject their beliefs, it's unfair to say "they purposefully perverted the true message". We should be building bridges, not walls.
@@inhumanhyena building bridges with people who openly commit shirk. are you joking ?
Re-look? Why do you nott publish this information? Why haven"t you done it? You, a of you are negligent. For centuries!! Grow up.
As-Salaamu alaikum wr wb. Masha’Allah
HamdulIlah
AllahuAkbar! So melodious.😢
So wow it's more likely that my ancestors were Muslim that came to the America's... wow!!!
It finally makes sense.
And also you are a beautiful princess
38:30 excellent point, Deen of Al Islam props to the brothers in Al Islam brothers in humanity.
That was an extremely silly comment.
May Allah protect our Muslims youth
Thanks for this teaching
This brother has a beautiful smile mA
Mashalla good job May sheikh
OUR ANCESTORS (Israelites) were ALL Black Muslims (Mushlam in Hebrew)
Prophets Musa (PBUH)...David (PBUH)...Solomon (PBUH)...ISA (PBUH)...etc., etc., etc.
if you are an african-american you are not an israelite descendent 😂😂😂
@@Ibnou999 EGYPT & CANAAN are in AFRICA
That is why you can go through a border crossing today of only a few feet from EGYPT to CANAAN.
Are you saying that when people cross from EGYPT to CANAAN they are going from one continent to another?
@@Ibnou999 It is the white Albino who is NOT from AFRICA or ASIA
@@Ibnou999 Oh! I forgot to put the SARCASTIC EMOJI like you did.
Here you go 😂😂😂
If it helps you connect to your Musim identity because you feel stripped of it when others say that no they were not black, then power to you. But in sha Allah you grow out of it. Personally, I couldn't care less which race they were. They were Allah's messengers, and even if they were white, I would have ZERO issue.
One Ummah.
Masha allah
Allāhumma Āmeen 🤲🏽
MashAllah
That is not Islam!
43:00 reminds me of 1001 Muslim inventions/1001 inventions
Al tirmidhi 38 - Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Allah created Adam when He had to create him and He struck his right shoulder and there emitted from it white offspring as if they were white ants. He struck his left shoulder and there emitted from it the black offspring as if they were charcoal. He then said (to those who had been emitted) from the right (shoulder): For Paradise and I do not mind. Then He said to those (who had been emitted) from his left shoulder: They are for Hell and I do not mind.
ASA. What point are you trying to make with this hadith? 🤔 I'm confused
@@khaleedabdul-azeezedwards9523 if still tryna find the point you are lost brother
@@bywallmark6198 I honestly wanted to get your take on how you were understanding the hadith that you mentioned. Humble yourself. If I'm lost as you say, then Allah the Lord of all that exists will guide me. Because I Humbley turn to him for knowledge and guidance. And I ask Allah to guide you, and grant you understanding. I honestly didn't know whether you were trying to use the hadith that you mentioned to support a racist agenda, or if you are anti-Muslim coming from a black is everything agenda. So I'm gonna assume that you are a racist, and that you are trying to use the hadith to say that Islam is anti-black. The hadith in no way suggests that all white descendants that are to ever exist will be in Jannah. And nor does it say that all of the black descendants that are to ever exist will be Hell. The hadith simply shows that despite your skin complexion, whether you are black, or white, if Allah wills he will place you into the Hellfire, and he doesn't mind. Because, simply put. If you don't mind disbelieving in Allah, and or committing sins, and not Repenting, then he doesn't mind putting you in the Hellfire. This Hadith has nothing to do with one particular color of people being superior over another. Furthermore race should never be defined by skin complexion. How in the world could this hadith mean that all dark skinned people are in the Hellfire, when The first man ever created was extremely black ⚫️? Prophet Musa, and Esa aka, Jesus were dark/brown. Are we to believe that the Hadith is including them amongst the dark skinned people in the Hellfire? Give me a break. There is to much evidence from Quran, and Sunnah to support the complexions of these great Prophets, notice that I didn't say, "Race of these great Prophets". Remember complexion doesn't equal race. I am not a proponent of the notion that everything good is black, this is nonsense. There are racist whites and there are racist blacks, and all those in between. What truly matters to Allah is your Taqwa. Have we truly submitted to his will. Because Allah doesn't look at our bodies, but rather he looks at our deeds. We humans make a big deal out of skin color. The only reason I ever feel the need to mention it is for education purposes, not to push an agenda. The fact that I'm Black is of little concern to me. But the fact that I am Muslim is of great concern to me. Meaning I am always concerned about how well I am implementing Islam in my life on a daily bases. Because Islam is a complete way of life and everything should revolve around Islam, and not the opposite. May Allah guide you to Islam if you are not Muslim, and may Allah bless us and our families. Ameen This is one of many hadith on the subject. 😉 Enjoy
Sahih Muslim 165 Book 1, Hadith 326
”On my night journey I passed by Musa Ibn Imraan may peace be upon him was an Adam (dark brown to jet black skinned) man, tall, kinky/woolly haired as if he was a man from Shanua tribe”
مررت ليلة أسري بي على موسى بن عمران عليه السلام . رجل آدم طوال جعد . كأنه من رجال شنوءة

Hadith is the words of mere men, in the quran the khalifah that Allah formed with his hands was made from an illuminate black substance, and the prophet that is mention the most, kalimuh allah is black
Diave Hadith
I remember that they tried with much trouble to marry Bilal (RA) to an Arab woman but the woman's pride was too much to be married to a Black person and it didn't last. But the Arabs had been enslaving Africans for millennia (with many of the males being castrated, a torture only 50% survived) though the children they had with the African women had full inheritance rights and were recognized as their full children, so of course there were Black Arabs by the time of Rasulullah (SA).
You are a liar, Sayyidina Hadrat Bilal RadiyyAllahuan ,did not married any Arab women ,with such a behaviour..
You are confused with another story..
you do know, Africans colonized southern Arabia for some time and even tried to destroy the kabbah.
Yeah, everyone knows surah Fil. But I couldn't find any evidence of the story I mentioned above about Hadrat Bilal (RA) on the Internet when I googled except "...Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has written that according to the other narrations, no one would accept Bilal's proposal or give their hand to him in marriage". Only when I searched "anti-black racism among Arabs" did I get thousands of articles and videos about anti-black racism and the TH-cam channel Wazir Walid has videos from before the pandemic showing it. I guess I did get what I said about Hazrat Bilal confused with something else. Go figure.
@@bieddruhuggyfalsaperla5447 so quran lied?
@@seanou2837 Quran lied about what?
Subhannallah the beginning was amazing! Allah bless him in this life and the next.
1. Hagar was an Egyptian handmaiden and not a Nubian slave. 2. Ancient Egyptians would predominately resemble modern day Egyptians in both features and complexion. 3. Not all Arabs descend from Ishmael as both Arabic and Arabs predate Abraham according to Islamic tradition. 4. The speaker in this video embellished a quote from the prophet by adding “dark skinned with curly hair”
You’re lying 😂😂😂 where is ya prove
Ancient Egyptians are the nubians and people of aswan and the people of siwa.
Saharans are dark skin but not black their race is clearly different because their location is transcontinental with Asia their features are different n their wives are yellow from being inside 😂
@@anas-432nubia is sudan, they too had pyramids
A question is the term arab never exidted in the time of mohamed the true name of that time was Acraabi in koran the word arabi doesnt mean an identity but rather elequency .
