Islam vs Racism | Dr. Shabir Ally

What does Islam prescribe about racism? As we watch people rising up against #racism in #Canada, the United States and other parts of the world, we reflect on whether religion has anything useful to share. #Islam condemns racism and teaches its followers that all are equal before God. Dr. Shabir Ally explains.

BS! The most racist place I've been to was a Islamic county and people bragged about being white and looking European. Also many do alot to look white. I also noticed some people get up and move when a black person sits next to them and pray next to them, but when I was there to pray people gathered around me to pray (they had no idea I was a westner, I pretend to be Arabic) I also noticed people would invite me to get togethers but no the black people. I also noticed the more white you're the more successful you would be.

That’s sad, but their behaviors have no basis in Islam. You’re conflating Muslims whose behaviors and ideologies are against the core message and teaching of Islam, with Islam. This is like when people type caste all Muslims as terrorist because of a few terrorist who happen to be Muslim. I’m sorry about your experience I am from Oman a country in the Middle East and many of us are extremely dark skin and there are even black Omanis (Omanis of African origin) as well as Omanis who are as pale as white Europeans. Islam completely eradicated racism and ethnocentrism in fact, on cannot be a good Muslim and be racist/ nationalist/ ethnocentric. Again, I am sorry for your experience.

4:32 is there a problem in Islam with different facial features/skulls?

[@Sheed-vx7wm]

Racism is such an UGLY topic. A creature of God thinking they r BETTER than another creature of God based on looks, language, RACE, physical features etc. Based on Islamic teaching the first action of racism was performed by Iblis(Satan). He, along with all the angels he was living amongst n Paradise, was commanded by God to prostrate to Adam pbuh, whom God clearly named as HIS GREATEST CREATION to honor God after bringing Adam pbuh to life. All the angels obeyed God's command and prostrated. But Iblis refused. He claimed "My Lord I am BETTER than Adam. You created me from fire and him from mud." So this situation shows pure RACISM of one, (Iblis) vainly claiming that he was BETTER than another creation of God. Even after God told Iblis Adam pbuh was God's greatest creation. So even though Iblis knew Adam pbuh was BETTER than he was, he still vowed to God he was better than Adam pbuh, and refused to prostrate to him. So both Muslims and Non-Muslims who r racists towards others, subconsciously follow the path of Satan and may not even realize it. Racism is evil.

Gloomy-faced means disappointed, sad, etc. A white person can be "gloomy-faced" and a black person can be "bright-faced" and vice versa, because emotions dictate how your face appears, not race. What it means is that those who are gloomy-faced are sad because their beliefs will be proven wrong on the day of Judgement, and that means that they are disbelievers. Those who are bright-faced are happy because they knew their beliefs were right, which means they are believers.

@@bryanbradley6871people in ancient Arabia were not racially homogenous, and we still aren’t racially homogenous as Arabs today. There were Arabs with white skin, brown skin and jet black skin as Arab is not a race. If Allah the Most High says that He created us in different colors, tongues, nations and tribes in Surah 30 Ayah 22. Then why would Prophet Muhammad pbuh preach otherwise? Attributing racism which is evil to the Prophet is a nullifier of one’s Islam. O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in repentance, such are evil-doers Surah Hujurtat Ayah 11. The Hadith you linked completely contradicts the message of Islam and what prophet Muhammad pbuh him preached “All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves” (Final sermon of prophet Muhammad PBUH) as well as this Hadith: “’The Prophet may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him said: I have been given upon five (things) which were not consented to anyone before me: Every Prophet was sent specifically to his own people, whereas I have been sent to every red andblack, the spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and these were never made lawful to anyone before me, and the earth has been made sacred and pure and a place of prostration for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for any one of you he should pray wherever he is, and I have been supported by awe from the distance (which one takes) one month to cover and I have been granted intercession.” حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَقِيرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي كَانَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ يُبْعَثُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى كُلِّ أَحْمَرَ وَأَسْوَدَ وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيَ الْغَنَائِمُ وَلَمْ تُحَلَّ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَجُعِلَتْ لِيَ الأَرْضُ طَيِّبَةً طَهُورًا وَمَسْجِدًا فَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلاَةُ صَلَّى حَيْثُ كَانَ وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ مَسِيرَةِ شَهْرٍ وَأُعْطِيتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

[@aminboumerdassi2334]

Black and white are used as metaphors for evil and goodness. The thing about metaphors is that they are not meant to be interpreted literally hence they do not automatically have a racial implication. Also consider that famous black muslims like Bilal never seemed to have any issue with the metaphorical meanings of black and white.

[@lionesskhadeejah9154]

Sister it does not actually saythe word "fair" that has been added in the translations due to hadeeths, hadeeths that were written 200 years after the prophet passed away.

[@bintmuhajabah6387]

It doesn’t actually use the word fair and “back in the day” people used fair/ dark black/ white as metaphors for good and evil this does not mean the evil is to be associated with black people or that whiteness is to be associated with goodness, this means that languages historically did not have a racialized lens and words are used metaphorically.

ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO SAY IN DEFENCE OF BLACK PEOPLE AS Mr MUHAMMAD WAS A WHITE MAN WHO HAD BLACK SLAVES : 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 Among the people of Arabia, he was discernably of fairer complexion than most people around him. He is distinguished from his companions as "the white man". Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman, the companion of Sahnun said; “ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT THE PROPHET WAS BLACK SHOULD BE KILLED ." Ibn Musa al-Yahsubi, Qadi ‘Iyad, p.375 WHITE MAN MUHAMMAD HAD BLACK SLAVES : Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 91, Number 368: Narrated 'Umar: I came and behold, Allah's Apostle was staying on a Mashroba (attic room) and a black slave of Allah's Apostle was at the top if its stairs. I said to him, "(Tell the Prophet) that here is 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (asking for permission to enter)." Then he admitted me. ... (cf. Bukhari 3.648, 6.435, 7.119) Note: It does not say "the black slave of Muhammad" it says "a black slave" which is an indication there were more than one. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 182: Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah's Apostle said, "Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!" In addition to the above listed hadiths there are a considerable number of other black slaves mentioned which were owned by `Aisha or some of the companions of Muhammad.

[@redflamingo643]

I'm sorry 2 tell you but actually the hadiths were written 200 years after the death of the prophet. Islam rejects racism and the first Muslim convert to make Adam ( the call of prayer) was black and there were also black prophets. Slavery goes against Islam. If a hadith goes against the Quran and it's ethics and principles just know that its completely fake. This kind of hadiths were attributed to the prophet to beneficiate the hadith narrator point of view.

You’re reading false Hadiths, slavery was not racialized and prophet Muhammad never had any discontent with black people as there are many black companions both male and female and the Quran speaks against racism of any kind, Luqman Al Hakeem the wise man is mentioned in the Quran in fact there is a whole chapter named after him in the Quran, Luqman Al Hakeem was a black Nubian man. We also know that all nations of people were sent a prophet… using logic one will conclude that Islam is not racist and that false narrations attributed to the prophet pbuh are blasphemous.
