Black Companions of the Prophet | Dr. Shabir Ally

We often talk about Bilal being a noble companion of the Prophet Muhammad. Were there other black companions? If so, what are their names and stories? Dr. Shabir discusses some black companions, including Ammar bin Yasir, Barakah, Zaid bin al-Harith and Usamah bin Zaid, and describes their significance. The companions of the prophet are akin to the apostles of Jesus in terms of importance. #Muslims consider them righteous individuals to be followed and respected. So it is noteworthy that these individuals despite being #black were part of the inner circle of the Prophet #Muhammad.

Prophet Muhammad SAW was breastfed by a Black woman who was a slave named Thuwayba who later during his Prophethood would accept Islam. Also, the first person to die for Islam was a Black woman named Sumayyah. King Negus a black Christian King gave the Prophet and his companions asylum after they were persecuted in Mecca so there are many examples of Black people who came thru for the prophet. Women and Black people are a huge component in helping to move Islam forward but people only mention Bilal for creating the adhan.

Rasoolullah sollallahu alayhi wasallim himself was not white, none of his relatives were white ,and neither His wives. Abdul Mutallib family wasn't white people. They were Adnani Arabs who were proud black people. Rasoolullah (s a w) said in His hadiths speaking to then the Sahabas and I quote " when ever Egypt opens for you to take my message there do be careful to treat those black people there with Woolley hair with respect because they are relatives through lineage and they are my relatives through marriage ", this is what He (s.a.w) said because Sayyida Hajara/Hagar the wife of Ibrahim and mother of Ismail,a black African woman from south of Egypt was the founder of the holy city of Makkah and the owner of ZamZam, and so speaking of only Sayyidina Bilal bin Rabah here doesn't make sense since the holy prophet (s a w) himself did not escape being black with of course dreadlocks. The debate will when the so called influencers come back to their senses and avoid saying it the half way or get forced by circumstances to say the truth.

Exactly that's my point why is it that these so-called Islamic scholars start and end with Bilal as if Islam has no other black presents other than Bilal that is ridiculous

[@spiketrimble]

This series of talks on race have been great. I think you should have one on the Prophet’s (PBUH) last sermon. The issue of equality was so important that it was one the last things he spoke about and left for the uma.

[@salahudinrahim1367]

William, you are absolutely correct. It was an issue close to the heart of Rasoolilaah saaws, because he knew that his people were still racists even after years of his teaching on brotherhood. Some of the copies of the Last Khutbah that you find today nothing in them at all about black, others do. When I first the prophets last khutbah about 40 years ago there was a line there that said "obey your leader even if he is a black Ethiopian with a head/hair like raisins". Not there now.

[@salahudinrahim1367]

Mr Trimble, you are absolutely on point regarding the Last Khutbah of Rasoolilaah saaws. It has been drastically altered. Now when you do find a copy there is usually no mention of our Black forefathers. Or sometimes on one mention and that is the no superiority of one color over the other except for taqwa. And then there has been no footnotes explaining the essence of that statement. But then, the Messenger saaws. of ALLAH azza wa jalla, Muhammad himself prophesied some of his ashaabee (companions) would change some of what he had left. This was according to a dream which he had. And all religious people Christians, Bene Israel and Muslims believe in and accept that some dreams are prophetic. The Arabic and Pakistani scholars, SOME who are very biased against Black People, should agree to reproduce the Last Khutbah in it's entirety. After which we should all sit down and re-purify our Deen by taking EVERYTHING out of it that men who call themselves scholars, have added over the years. After all, ALLAH, feel Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaah, in the Oneness of His Names and Attributes, said to Nabiy Muhammad saaws: "This day, I have completed my favour upon you, PERFECTED FOR YOU YOUR DEEN and chosen for you al-islaam as your DEEN(Religion). ALLAH The One, perfected this deen. It needed NO further explanation nor elucidation, except those of Rasoolilaah. All of the rest need to be erased from history. For the Malaa'ikah Jabrieel told Nabiy Muhammad saaws, "these people (some of his ashaabee) have continued to be apostates since you(Muhammad saaws) left them...) Sahih Al-Bukhaari, vol. 6, hadiyth 149 and others.

There is no way this Men of high morality and honour could be white, just saying. Its funny how they are trying to promote the agenda of "the only black person was bilal an ex-slave.

[@salahudinrahim1367]

@@rashidfadhaye8100 very precise brother. We need to call a conference/symposium and invoke ALLAH on whether or not the prophets were Black AND whether or not Nabiy Muhammad saaws and his family were from the Black race or not. Aswaad wa Ahmar goes back to Egypt and beyond. Aadam the first human was black without a doubt. His wife and children were shades of black which extended to dark red which are covered in the Arabic Language. Did Allah create all colours of the human spectrum? Yes without a doubt. Some colours He created differently, for instance we are told that He azza wa jalla subhanahu wa ta'alaa, created Aadam with His own hands. While the forms and colours of some rebels and extreme sinners He has allowed their own behavior to alter, and changed some to show His Power, as with Musaa/Moses. Allah azza wa jalla, did not give Musaa a "shinning" hand but a white hand. And there was no disease or sickness in the hand. Thus the great Miracle. In the age of Moses/Musaa and the rebellious Children of Israaeel the only white human beings were those who Allah had cursed with whiteness as a result of Leprosy because of their beastiality. So ALLAH changed the hand of Musaa from black to white and the white had had no disease!!! The people in that age knew that they had witnessed a divine miracle. But the RACISTS have even changed that, what a horrible penalty they must pay for their many sins.

Shabir, what about Nabtal b. al-Harith? How did Muhammad describe him? Was he a "black man, with long flowing hair, enflamed eyes and ruddy cheeks." Who did Muhammad compare him to? What would the liberal progressives of the BLM say about this? If what you are saying is true then why are there hadiths that point out various parts of Muhammad's body were "white" His thighs, his stomach, his arm pits and other parts were referred to in the hadiths. Why was this the case., Shabir? white thigh, Sahih Bukhari 1.367, white armpit, Sahih Bukhari 2.141, white man, Sahih Bukhari 1.63, 2.122, 4.744, rosy color, Sahih Bukhari 4.747 & 748 Then we had judgement day. Remember this as well - On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some) faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved. (Âl 'Imran 3:106) So there is a great deal more to this topic than just a few companions who may have been of coloured complexion. What I see his is a case of kitman, Shabir, deceit by omission. We know there are problems with racism in Islam. Have a look at how the Somali refugees have been treated in Egypt. Is this just an Egypt thing or is it endemic in Islam? I could go elsewhere. The most important facet of racism in Islam, as I see it, is the Quran itself. How presumptuous of Arabs to force non Arabs to learn the Quran in classical Arabic. That, of course, is what ever Quran they are actually reading. What are we looking at now? I believe 37 different Qurans and Islam follows hafs.

That passage which you misquote should have been translated: "On the Day when some faces will be TURNED white and some faces TURNED black". ALLAH azza wa jalla subhanahu wa ta'alaa, is directing this mainly to the white racists of the world because that have hated Black People all of their lives without a real cause, that day their faces will be turned black. And Black People who have believed and followed Muhammad saaws, their faces will be turned white from wuzhu prior to salaat. Not only their faces but their head, arms, hands and feet.

The Messenger of ALLAH replied, "No rather you are my ashaabee(my companions) but my brothers have not yet come, and I will go before them to the HAWD(His Place in Jannah). So he was asked, how will you know those who have not yet come of your Ummah? Rasoolilaah answered and said, "If a man has horses with white faces and legs among horses that are totally black, would not he be able to distinguish his horses? So surely they will come on the Day of Resurrection with white faces, arms, and legs from wudoo,(he repeated this three times) and I will go before them to the HAWD. And surely some men among you all will be turned away from from my Hawd like a lost camel is turned so that he will not bring disease to the cattle.

The beloved Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah blessings peace & salutations be upon him was a Meccan Arab from the Tribe of Bani Hashim of the larger Tribe of Quryish. There's no eye witnesses accounts in the Hadiths or divine revelations from ALLAH (S.W.T.) that describe the Holy Prophet was of African decent or any prior Prophet's mentioned. In addition, they were not White either. Peace & Blessings be upon the wonderful human being Prophet Muhammad who was truly a miracle. It was mentioned in the Hadith Sahih Bukhari that when describing the physical attributes of Prophet Musa, i.e., Moses peace be upon him, that he was a brown man with curly hair. Which makes sense that Prophet Moses Peace be upon him was a Sephardic Hebrew from a desert community. It was never said that he was of African descent or black. There's also no evidence, either mentioned in the Holy Quran or Hadiths, that Hajar (R.A.) was African either. She was a servant of a despotic king in possibly Egypt or Assyria when the beloved Prophet & Khalil, i.e., friend of ALLAH (S.W.T.) Ibrahim, i.e., Abraham married her. Although, to be more blunt, the Holy Mission of the Prophet's is very important. Not concerning their physical appearance. Were there African Prophet's & righteous people of faith? Yes, of course. ALLAH (S.W.T.) says it in the Holy Quran. That Messengers were sent to all people's of the world. I'm a practicing Muslim who still is learning about my faith & will continue to do so until I'm dead & buried. I find it strange that there's a strange obsession of race & revisionist history. The Prophet's & the Sahaba or any person of faith in the Oneness of ALMIGHTY GOD, whatever their color or gender should be remembered for their devotional work & sacrifice.

It seems like a political tactic to discredit other races & religions to support their own sense of superiority.

Prophet Luqman Peace , by him, was by historical accounts, was either from Abbisynia, i.e., Ethiopia or Sudan. To be honest with you. It doesn't really matter how we feel.

This is one proof Muhammad is from God. It is not logical if God hates black people. They are His creation too. So, it is obvious that racism is not from God, but from the evil one.

Funny you titled your channel "Let the quran speak", Yet no muslims can make sense of it, and this is why muslims need to go see a sheik or an imam to understnad what allah meant when he was revealing his unclear quran to Muhammad. And the imams and the sheiks today needs to go after tafsir over tafsir, from scholars who lived before them who are interpreting each and every verses. Maybe you should consider changing the channel name to "Shabir Ally explains the quran", or better "Let Shabir Ally explains what allah really meant in the quran"

We go to student of knowledge to make sure we got our facts right. We don’t say or shouldn’t say what we are not well informed about.

[@funislamicfacts7448]

​@@user-rj3nl1re4u You say "what we are not well informed about", so you speak about a verse in the quran you never read, so you go see an imam instead of reading it for yourself ? (what would Muhammad and his puppet Allah would think of you if you have never read the quran ?) Or are you just confirming what I said : The quran in itself is not clear and does not explain in details, so you have to go see imams for interpretation. And each imam have their own interpretation, while almost everytime claiming their interpretation is the consensus. Hence why this show should be called "Dr Shabir Ally explains the quran" Yet, the quran claims many times that it is a clear book, explained in details. The fact is, muslims don't understand it, and need to see an imam to get the imam's interpretation.
