Hmm no its woke movment

Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤ Alhamdulillah 🤲🏻

السلام عليكم My brother. I’m strongly in agreement with you. Brother Yousef Kromah was the first person that I heard speak highly African scholars. I live in Georgia (USA). The concerns are the same here. Many of our own (African-American) sisters and brothers, see Muslims from Arab speaking countries as “the real Muslims”. Likewise, some of immigrant Muslims look down on converts. In our particular masjid, separation was the solution. Alhamdulilah! ISA, I look forward to learning more from our African Imams, and scholars. I’m sooo very grateful for our kindred souls, though distance has separated us. May Allah continue to bless you with wisdom and good health.

SubhanAllah. This young man is way beyond his age in wisdom and ilm. May Allah continue blessing him and his work. His knowledge, his journey, his humility, his assertiveness of his black Muslimness in a rather non-belligerent manner points to Allah's noor shining on him. He is truly blessed. May brother Mustafa continue opening up and broadening the conversation around black Muslim identity from early Islam till today, and may it reach the highly insular Arab/desi communities who seem to have monopolised the deen. Am about to buy his book Beyond Bilal and going to read it together with Imam Dawud Walid's Centering Black Narrative and Dr Rudolph Ware's The Walking Qur'an to unlearn prejudices and learn the rich As a brown man born and raised in a certain sub Saharan country where Muslims are a minority, this knowledge would go a long way in attracting even more locals to Islam, in addition to local Muslims proudy asserting their identity and pushing back in an intellectual way the dominance of a particular strain of cultural Islam, that only sadly divides communities. May Allah unite us, and spread the light of his Kalimah throughout the continent.

SubhannAllah I had this Mans Nashaheeds Stuck in my head for over a decade same with my whole family i swear and we from america subhanAllah i always used to wonder what happened to this brother i forgot his whole name took me 3 hours to find it today alx i did i really Used to wonder what happened to the Ahki…. And sad to say a thing called Life happened… we all have shortcomings we all have ups and downs and to think the Righteous of the Righteous falls down sometimes were all Human brev just like he said he was looked at more of a upcoming Scholar type person thats why he had to always Present himself in the best way were all human we all have downsides its good to see the brother trying to get his mind right going back to the motherland seeking his foot in the roots taking a big reset we all need that at times bruv and Nobodys Perfect Ahki dont feel ashamed discouraged of your Shortcomings as long as you turn to Allah(SWT) beg for repentance and his Guidance in shaa Allah you shall be guided… and one thing i learned thru out this thing called life once your trying to change it usually Never Happens untill a calamity hits you…. Sad to say Bad Outcomes or tragic incidents is the #1 Factor people do a full 360 and change they’re life around and sometimes we all might just need that Thats why we always gotta say Alxamdulilah for the good and the Bad but im glad to see the Brother Getting his life back on track and on the right path alxamdulilah dont ever feel Ashamed brother its all Apart of the Journey and the Path we must Strive on to become a Better Man Allah Azzawajaal is the Best of Planners we could plan for example for 100$ and Allah (SWT) has 1 Million planned for you Allah has your plan x100 for you SubhanAllah The Best of Planners the Most Merciful Al Kareem May Allah Guide us all and keep us steadfeast onto the right Path brother and I Hope you are doing well and better and just like Faisal used to say “And i Hope that one day In shaa Allah one day under Islam well Unite La Ilahaa IlaalAllah Muhammadan RasoolulAlah” May Allah grant u Jannah brother and all of us and keepp us steadfast Allahuma Ameen

This was deep jazakumullahu Khairun

Not reformation but pull back into the Deen.

Truth ! I lost my identity when I came to Islam and I found it incredibly difficult accepting that I was ok being me because we start to assimilate Muslim cultures in the UK as we are looking for direction and guidance. I remember when someone said to me "do you cook the halal food?" Yes they meant do I cook a curry 🤦‍♀️ I am sorry you went through stupid online slander. I had something like this happen to me when I was running sisters support events. I was having my character, intentions and aqeeda questioned when I was just trying to help for the sake of Allah.

🙏🏾❤️ What a beautiful, wise soul! You clearly have understood the assignment!

Absolutely incredible interview! Both the host and his guest were down to earth! ALHAMDULILLAH! Fellow Muslims, PLEASE FORWARD this video to other African Americans Muslims or Muslims in general. ALHAMDULILLAH from the United States. Keep up the exceptional work!

Prophet Muhammad was an amazing man.

May Allah be with you and all that or those you value in your life..ameen

This is a colonial mindset. A consequence of colonisation. Desire to be fair skinned, with light eyes and an aqualine nose like the European colonisers. And adopting the colonisers disgust of what looks indigenous and ethnic.

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.

Mashallah! Your story is so inspiring. Allah has certainly blessed you with an amazing family! Allah guides whoever he wills and you certainly have an amazing family to guide. I love the inspiration you had from your grandma.

Great back story on how Mustafa Briggs came into Islam. It reminds me of how Allah brought me into Islam through various people over time and, later, to the proper min'haj (proper path with the proper aqeedah/belief system) over time! I love both his research and refreshing perspective about the global culture - I have read a lot of the books he has read but he has been able to take it to the next level! And he is right - Black people (not just in Africa) tend to be more sincere and focused on their deen with sincerity than a lot of others - it is rare to see them compromise their Islam, get into rib'a, sell haram in their shops and stores or join Christians in their holidays and practices. His friend was right - there is no need for him to join any Sufi order to be Muslim (despite the fact that it was one of the ways Islam spread in West Africa) - just stick to the basics! As he came to understand early in his studies, the basis of Islam is that ALLAH IS ONE without a partner, The Creator SEPERATE FROM HIS CREATION. Therefore, the belief that you can BECOME ONE WITH ALLAH is contrary to this basic tenet of Islam.

Masha Allah brother, Alhamdulillah for you, may Allah continue to bless you. Love from 🇳🇬

Salam alaikum Please, I want to get in touch with Mustafa Briggs

Alhamdulillah.. STAY T0UGH Broo.. 💪🏼 KeeP 0n the TRUE Track. The FAiTH of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Mother Mary & Jesus..

Islam is not a "religion". If we understand that phrase, it will help us a great deal. Peace 🙏

May Allah preserve you and always keep u happy!

SubhanAllah 16.48 got me crying

SubhanAllah!!! So wise MashaAllah

This guy nizami says you shouldn't send salawat on the prophet (peace be upon him) I would like to ask that Allah send salawat on the prophet (peace be upon him) so where does it start and where does it end and what is the limit on the peace and blessings Allag sends on the prophet (peace be upon him)

Mmh. This didn't make so much sense to me. Because the question still remains, why follow a specific religion if you want to connect more to God/Allah / that which is Greater than us...? Why can't I find my own way to it? Why is a book necessary in the 21st century?

This is absolute genuine love ❤

You are an inspiration.

Glad he overcame the obstacles and nasty comments, our relationship is with Allah and guidance we should ask from him.

PURE BARS

HIT THE SPOT FOR ME 🥺❤️

I love this man Long live the brotherhood

Who cares

MashaAllah

Oh my...I did the same thing...took time out to myself...read the Quran ...twice...went ahead and underlined the parts that were actually making sense to me or rather talking to me...I felt really liberated after that. This coming from a non Muslim.

The second half of this podcast was really thought provoking, great stuff!
