Beyond Bilal: Black History In Islam

Product Information

I found every single chapter of this book to be super powerful and informative. I gained so much knowledge and learned so many new facts, that I was completely unaware of before. Some of my favourite facts learned include: A recent report from the John Smith Centre found that more than 83 per cent of Scottish Muslims have experienced Islamophobia. It is rooted in racism and targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness. Islamophobia takes many forms, from the more obvious physical and verbal abuse to the less visible discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion.

Lots of material that many will not know before reading this book, some of which many will find surprising (especially that related to the Prophets of Allah, the Companions RA, and the very nature of the people who were enslaved and transported to work on plantations in the Americas). The origin of these Companions is often overlooked, yet in their origin is a great lesson for us. The Prophet (saw), the greatest gift to mankind exalted and raised the status of these companions. He embodied the teachings of Islam, of kindness, equality and love for all believers. We say we truly love him, then surely we should aim to follow in his footsteps, in all ways.
