I am a black man in America who recently reverted to Islam and i am trying to learn as much as i can .

May Allah protect this brother Ameen

Honestly ,this is the most intresting podcast ever!!!!! Mashallah

Salaam haleykum brother! As a senegalese who lives in luton/UK , my little brother & I, have gone through the same experience. Honestly, this stereotype over black people in Islam has driven me to do my salats at home instead of the masjid Alhamdulillah, I am not being judgmental but, . It really hurts when

May Allah reward Mustafa Briggs, author of the excellent "Beyond Bilal: Black History in Islam”, for this throroughly engaging interview and his work in uncovering the long suppressed and hidden history of Black people and Islam (prior to Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad and not focusing on the slave trade). The Brother has done his research and has brought it to the masses - including the story of prophets and companions who were Black and how much of the Qur’an centers on the African continent! Let's be fair and give the contribution of Black people in Islam the same attention we give Muslims from other ethnic backgrounds or geographical areas!al-Allamah Abu'l Faraj ibn al-Jawzi, rahimuallah, a scholar of the highest order, understood this and, as a result, wrote the book "Illuminating The Darkness: The Virtues of Blacks and Abyssinians", which Habeeb Akande (whom he referenced in his talk) improved upon by his similarly titled "Illuminating the Darkness: Blacks and North Africans in Islam" and "Illuminating The Darkness: Blacks And African Muslims in Brazi.l" I strongly recommend Habeeb’s books, along with "The Unknown Arabs" by Tariq Berry, "Islam in Africa Throughout History" by Shaykh Muhammad Aman Al-Jami, "Centering Black Narrative: Black Muslim Nobles Among The Early Pious Mulsims" by Ahmad Muibarak & Dawud Walid - and, with regard to American history - "Muslims in American History: A Forgotten Legacy" by Gerald F. Dirks and "Servants of Allah: African Muslims Enslaved in the Americas" by Sylvaine Diouf.

Jazak'Allah Khair for covering Black History in Islam... thoroughly enjoyed 🙏😊.

Subhanallah this podcast was so beneficial and needs to be heard by Muslims around the globe because this is Islamic history so it belongs to all of us as Muslims no matter what out background . Insha allah maybe someone can even translate this into a few other languages and add subtitles. May Allah continue to guide Br. Mustafa and give him more opportunities to share this knowledge!

MashaAllah...I am speechless and very grateful. I was sorry when it ended. May Allah bless you both! Ameen

Masha'Allah. What an inspiration. So many trials, and how Allah has guided him.

Masha Allah. Always good to hear from Mustafa Briggs!

How does this not have more views 😢. Really insightful

alhamdulillah, humanity come together to worship our creator and be kind to one and other

Does Br. Mustafa have a book on these topics? Would be an amazing read in shaa Allah.

Shaykh Muhammad Shareef is a wealth of knowledge on this topic and the history of Islam in America and Africa. He has been doing this work for over 40 years now. I applaud this brother, Mustapha Briggs for continuing in this line of scholarship.

These keep getting better and better 🔥🔥🔥

May Allah (swt) reward you both Inshallah

Mashaallah tabaraka Rahman you are lucky brother Allah protect you and us and grant us Faradaus Aalaa ameen Yaarabil Alameen jamian
