[@pharaohthelegend4598]

@@kf9926 I’m very aware of the ARAB slave trade. Y’all conflate Arab with Islam when it comes to this. Every Arab wasn’t a Muslim which is why there were so many wars at the time of Prophet’s (pbuh) existence. Majority of Arabs were into Idol Worship and when the message of Islam came to Arabia they resisted because it created a shift in their society and liberated the “commoners” of their society. I’ve read 3 books on this very subject so please save the “what aboutisms.” Yall Non-Muslims really be thinking y’all know something we don’t know. I can honestly say as a revert we come into Islam open minded and that gives us the necessary freedom to learn the good and the bad and get context that way we can make a more informed decision instead of bringing unwarranted biases. If we were to base “faith” solely off of what “believers” do none of us would probably believe in anything. Humans are flawed. You know that and I know that, so save it, respectfully.

There’s a huge difference but the fact that you brought that up immediately after me simply giving love to the brother for making it to the channel told me everything I needed to know. Most slaves were prisoners of war which is not abnormal to African culture either when they’d win wars. They’re “take home” prizes were amongst the first to be shipped to America. I’m not condoning any of it but I have studied the history of these societies and how they operated. So if you have a disdain for Muslims and what they did, I can understand that but don’t damn the whole religion based off the act of those who claim to uphold it. There were Arabs who claimed to be Muslim just to do everything other than what’s actually taught in the Quran.

If you understand this brothers very accurate conversation you will realise that north, south, east and more importently the european west has used worshipping of Muhammad as a pretext to undermine their belief in Islam. All the prophets are great in the sight of Allah and no prophet or messenger came but to spread the truth. And the prophet most worthy of worship is Adam. I totallly agree with the narrator the orientalist have diluted and poisoned those who have not been blessed with an history from the begining of time that today is so telling about who, what, when how and more importantly why a continent had to be taken from being Abd Allah to being a slave of ignorance and worship of ego. I broke that chain the day I submitted to Islam. I can attain to all that the brother speaks. I have studied Islam and I came to the same conclusion, it didnt weaken my understanding it streghtened it. Truth and falsehood are not the same!!!

He said: Let me take retaliation. He said: Take retaliation. He said: You are wearing a shirt but I am not. The Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his shirt and the man embraced him and began to kiss his side.

[@upondivineguidanceorder2548]

@@charlesmangena7732 🤫 dont tell the guy that you pay tithes to, you know your cult leader But check this out ....Was it a coincidence that the Prophet “like unto Moses” from the “brethren” of the Israelites (i.e. from the Ishmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God (as in Deuteronomy 18:18-20)? Was it also a coincidence the “Paraclete” that Jesus foretold to come after him was described as one who “shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak…“(John 16:13)? Was it another coincidence that Isaiah tied between the messenger connected with Ke’dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11)? More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah “for with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11)? This latter verse correctly describes the “stammering lips” of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur’an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 which speaks of the same thing. That Prophet -Paraclete- Muhammad Up to the time of Jesus, the Israelites were still waiting for that prophet like unto Moses (peace be upon him) prophesied in Deuteronomy 18:18.When John the Baptist came, they asked him if he was Christ and he said “No”. They asked him if he was Elias and he said “No”. Then, in apparent reference to Deuteronomy 18:18, they asked him “Art thou that Prophet” and he answered, “No”. (John 1:19-21) In the Gospel according to John (Chapters 14, 15, 16), Jesus spoke of the “Paraclete” or comforter who will come after him, who will be sent by Father as another Paraclete, who will teach new things which the contemporaries of Jesus could not bear. While the Paraclete is described as the spirit of truth (whose meaning resemble Muhammad’s famous title Al-Amin, the trustworthy), he is identified in one verse as the Holy Ghost (John 14:26). Such a designation is however inconsistent with the profile of that Paraclete. In the words of the Dictionary of the Bible, (Ed. J. Mackenzie) “These items, it must be admitted do not give an entirely coherent picture.” Indeed, history tells us that many early Christians understood the Paraclete to be a man and not a spirit. It was the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Paraclete, Comforter, helper and admonisher sent by God after Jesus. He testified of Jesus, taught new things which could not be borne at Jesus’ time, he spoke what he heard (revelation) and he dwelled with the believers. Such teachings will remain forever because he was the last Messenger of God, the only universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of preserved truth. He told of many things to come which “came to pass” in the minutest detail meeting, the criterion given by Moses to distinguish between the true prophet and the false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:22). He did reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment (John 16:8-11). Was the Shift of Religious Leadership Prophesied? Following the rejection of the last Israelite Prophet, Jesus, it was about time that God’s promise to make Ishmael a great nation be fulfilled (Genesis 21:13, 18). In Matthew 21:19-21, Jesus spoke of the fruitless fig tree (a Biblical symbol of prophetic heritage) to be cleared after being given a last chance of three years (the duration of Jesus’ ministry) to give fruit. In a later verse in the same chapter, Jesus said: “Therefore, say I unto you, the Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to nation bringing forth the fruit thereof.” (Matthew 21:43) That nation was Ishmael’s descendants (the rejected stone in Matthew 21:42) which was victorious against all super-powers of its time as prophesied by Jesus: “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.” (Matthew 21:44) Is it possible that the numerous prophecies cited here are all individually and combined out of context misinterpretations? Is the opposite true, that such infrequently studied verses fit together consistently and clearly point to the advent of the man who changed the course of human history, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)? Is it reasonable to conclude that all these prophecies, appearing in different books of the Bible and spoken by various Prophets at different times were all coincidence? If this is so here is another strange “coincidence”! One of the signs of the Prophet to come from Paran (Mecca) is that he will come with “ten thousands of saints” (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV). That was the number of faithful who accompanied Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Paran (Mecca) in his victorious, bloodless return to his birthplace, to destroy the remaining symbols of idolatry in the Ka’bah. Says God as quoted by Moses: “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.“ (Deuteronomy 18:19 May the light of truth shine in our heart and mind! May it lead us to peace and certitude in this life and eternal bliss in hereafter!

6:15... So beloved of the African King for accepting and allowing religious freedom in his kingdom to the Muslims but as soon as they become dominant then it's bye bye religious freedom to the pagan Africans. When Muslims dominate West Africa they would never build shrines in their courts for the Africans to practice traditional African religions

[@iArsalan]

Actually that's not true. To this very day African traditional religion is practiced along side Islam and often times integrated with it seamlessly. I've personally sat with the Donso (hunter society) in Mali as they cast divination using the same binary system as the Odu Ifa while reciting Quranic verses. Conversely I've sat with Babalawo in Nigeria who recite Quranic verses whenever the odu Otura Meiji appears because, as they explained, that's the odu that manifest Islam in the world. The traditional interaction with religion for traditional Africans was very similar to the traditional Chinese, it's fluid and pragmatic. If it works, we accept it and there's no need to reject what came before because it works as well.

[@whoahna8438]

@@iArsalan If they're integrating traditional religions then they're not real Muslims, they're mushrikim. I'm talking about real Muslims like Usman Dan Fodio. Like this tribe in Tchad once they accepted Islam they started enslaving those that weren't Muslim. I'm talking about like Muhammad expelling everyone of other religions out of Arabia.

[@jbfitness38jb37]

Islam is a religion for "Humanity" it's not about black or white or Arab. That's why in the Quran there no pictures of Arab angles or the depiction of prophet Muhammed being an Arab. There just scripture. The prophet Muhammed said himself " there's no difference between a black man and an arab man what differs is his PIETY". Prophet Muhammed had Bilal who was a black african Ethiopian do the first EVER call to prayer as he said he had a beautiful voice. Who also sent his follows to seek refuge in Ethiopia who were at the time Christians as he said "They are righteous and just" so it's not about black, white arab. Its about humanity and believing in ONE god. Jesus prsyed to the father, as did moses and abraham leading to the first human Adam. Prophet Muhammed came to reinstate that, as the bible is corrupted by church innovations. Saints, the trinity, drinking blood and eating flesh i.e bread and wine. These were roman pagan cultures intertwined into christianity by paul. Jesus only spoke of the father. And jesus ( isa) is mentioned in the Quran 97times. As well as there being a whole chapter on mary and her being one of the most righteous woman on earth...

He actually didn’t abandon. He used to go to visit, he even built the Kaaba with his son there. How can you say he abandoned her there?

Kudos to INKTV, sorry but Islam is not for Africa likewise any religion. Love a breakdown on how Christianity reached Africa. They say the big 3 do not see colour etc but this is nonsense the evidence speaks for itself. So imagine being taken etc from West Africa into Slavery after being converted to Islam via slavery.

[@poppinc8145]

West Africa and upper Central Africa was never under Arab rule or conquest. Nobody can even name these supposed medieval Arab dynasties there. If they had, then people would be speaking Arabic, not just scholars and some educated nobility as part of religious education and some merchants as part of trade back then. The Arabs who do live in West and Central Africa are nomadic Black Arabs (Shuwa and Diffa Arabs) from Sudan whose range extended westward between the 1700s and 1800s only recently. The only part of Sub-Saharan Africa where Islam was implemented through Arab conquest was Northeast Sudan. That's why Arabic language gained prominence there. The rest of Sudan became Muslim on their own. Egypt conquered the southern regions (the far south was non-Muslim) between the 1820s-40s, and the western region (Darfur was already Muslim) was conquered in the 1870s, by which point Egypt was only nominally Ottoman and had become a de-facto protectorate of Britain. The Mahdist War in 1881 fought against British-led rule. Mauritania became Muslim between the 800s and 900s and went on to form the Amazigh-led Almoravid dynasty in the 1050s. Arabs only recently came to power in Mauritania through the Char Bouba War (1644-77). Mauritania is located in-between North and West Africa and mostly falls in the Western Sahara Desert. It had been ruled by Amazigh (Berber) dynasties. Kingdoms and empires across West Africa and upper Central Africa began officially adopting Islam in the 1000s onward. North Africa was conquered from the Eastern Roman Empire between the mid-600s and early-700s by the Arab-led Rashidun and Umayyad caliphates. The Maghreb (Northwest and Northcentral Africa) fell to Muslim Amazigh dynasties in the 900s until the 1500s when Arab tribes started toppling them, and then Ottomans and Western Europeans began taking over. Most of the Arabization happened between the 1700s and 1900s, a lot of it coinciding with Francization. As colonial French identity became juxtaposed with local Arab identity, the native Amazigh identity became sidelined there.

💯 Africa needs to take responsibility and own its significant part played in the awful trade of slavery. It has a culture of selling out its own and that’s a undeniable fact.

[@blackpalacemusic]

​@@promptstarWest Africans have taken more responsibility than anyone else. Over 500 acres granted to descendants of the enslaved, is more tangible than the lip service of western nations. The Arabs would not even acknowledge slavery still exist.

[@baysnyande3579]

Why are we obsessed with race as Muslims? Do we get a reward for playing victims or it just makes us feel good. Part of the tricks of shaytan. Let's learn and follow what Islam teaches not the actions of individuals. Every race can be biased or discriminate against other races. Everything to some people has to be about race or national origin. Islam doesn't tell us to be racist. Certain Imams dive into race topics just to patronize. As a black man, let's follow the Quran and Sunnah.
