    it should be noted that the army which kidnapped them was composed mainly of European mercenaries and some African trackers who were forced to engage with European slavers, otherwise they were either exterminated or sold into slavery as well and allmost of all free men kidnapped in West Africa were very cultured and proud Muslims. but when they were reduced to slavery in America they were Christianized with force and violence or else exchanged their Christianization with their freeings. so sad and unfair that the black American community has been forced to forget these roots.

    they found a card decades after his alleged conversion, with surat An-Nasr written in arabic, these sura that include the aya, the conversion of non-muslims to muslims in masses. His slave master annotated it on the back and believed it was the Lord's Prayer. This simply shows that disguised as a Christian, he never lost his faith in Allah and the Prophet. It's so sad that he was alone on his journey.. how I wish to go back in time just to cheer him up.. may allah grant him paradise.

    Some Christians also study Quran and Hadith to learn more. It should not be a surprised for you. But the question is about conversion which you are thinking about. Omar was a man of belief. Conversion does not seem to be actual happening in his believes. Most probably it is a pseudo conversion. Allah and his Prophet knows better.

    Those wondering bout this psuedo-conversion thing, allow me to explain. Unlike Christianity or Judaism, in Islam one is allowed to pretend to convert to another religion when threatened to preserve their life, so long as inwardly they continue to truly believe. Many Muslim slaves had to pretend to convert to Christianity to placate their masters. The man including Quranic verses in his biography seems to show he was still a Muslim but had only pretended to convert as many other slaves did. obviously, when it comes to dead people we can never really know and there is, of course, a chance he did genuinely decide to become Christain.

    Wow Islam is the truth of Allah we have many of Muslims or so-called Muslims who act like white supremacists and who are racist toward people of so-called African descent and this is a fact not in a figment of the imagination Islam suffers the same racial profiling that Christianity Judaism and other religions face racism did not die and roll over in his grave because of his love it is up to the followers of every Faith to denounce racism bigotry and hatred aviate to see it be done on a large scale.

    ​@hotwheelsindallas-fortwort7932 I, as a Muslim, agree that racism is wrong. Prophet Muhammad PBUH taught us that racism is wrong and that one's race doesn't matter in the eyes of Allah. Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, "All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white; none have superiority over another except by piety and good action." Racism is not part of Islam, so whoever is racist, they are not following Islam.

    Masha Allah.. Omar Said was a great soul, he could clasp his religious beliefs so firm that he was able to pen his life down as a message and warning to the world of infidels. Those who still not fear the God, the Lord of the universe... that men, their actions, deeds are all being watched upon.... Cruelty, atrocity, suppression etc. will come to light even after decades are over. This should still be an eye opener to the oscillating mindset of the US officials against the African Americans and also to the immigrants. May the Almighty save their souls.

    The Zanj Rebellion (Arabic: ثورة الزنج‎ Thawrat al-Zanj / Zinj) was a major revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate, which took place from 869 until 883. Begun near the city of Basra in present-day southern Iraq and led by one Ali ibn Muhammad, the insurrection involved enslaved Bantu-speaking people (Zanj) who had originally been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East, principally to drain the region's salt marshes. It grew to involve slaves and freemen, including both blacks and Arabs, from several regions of the Caliphate, and claimed tens of thousands of lives before it was finally defeated.

    The African continent including West Africa was exposed to civilisation well before the European slave trade. The assumptions that black people and people of ethnicity were uncivilised was wrong from the beginning to justify European colonialism and forced religious indoctrination. For hundreds of years, the European and Western narratives of Africans and people of ethnicities was that we were uncivilised and uncultured. I am surprised that Western Scholars studying civilisations on the Continent of Africa including the Middle East assumed that Africans were uncultured and uncivilised, that is a shame to the thousands of faculties given to study of that region of the world. Did they not consider that Africans would have come in contact with cultures and civilisations on their continent including religion? Thank you to Omar ibn Said for amplifying and changing their narrative of us. (Papua New Guinea).

They only seem to speak about the European slavery. And no one seems to mention Bilal we know he was a slave from Abyssinia and Abu Bakr bought him and freed him. He was tortured by his master all because he wouldn't give up Islam. We know Arabs were pagans and worshipped Idols before Islam came so the enslaving anyone had nothing to do with Islam.

    Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, owned slaves, took slaves, traded in slaves and sold them. He did free some but also criticized his wife Aisha for freeing a slave. Whatever Muhammad did is seen as a good example to follow. So islam cannot permanently end slavery as they cannot criticize Muhammad who is in effect the one they follow as Allah is more or less unknowable.

    If you mean the Ottoman Empire (Muslim rulers) than yes, they had taken young Christian men by the name of Janissaries to serve their nation. But instead of taking snippets, you should learn of the moral ways they were treated; they were not even “encouraged” to convert, and were praised highly, taking elite positions under the sultan. Consequently, our kindness had allowed those Janissaries to tear down the Ottoman Empire and seize control.
