I’ve never heard anything of Imam Ali (as) skin complexion being black. Rather there are traditions of him being described as being light in complexion. Additionally if this was the case then his sons (Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain) a.s would’ve also been dark. But we hear in traditions that they were not. Im not saying there rank or status would be any less if their complexion was dark. But I have often noticed many dark skinned/black scholars or historians associating prominent historical figures to the black demographic. Also just for the sake of knowledge. There were dark skinned or even black Imams a.s from the Ahlulbayt a.s. Namely Imam Ali ibn Musa Al Ridha a.s and Imam Al Jawas a.s.

I implore anyone to look at a current map of Yemen and then look at a map of the Kingdom of Aksum (Abyssinia / Ethiopia) during the time or Rasulullah (saws) and you will discover the modern geographical location of Yemen was at one time part of the Kingdom of Axum (Abyssinia / Ethiopia), specifically during the 1st Hijra (migration) of the Sahabah. When the Sahabah made their 1st migration to the Kingdom of Aksum (Abyssinia / Ethiopia), they didn't travel to the current geographical continent of Africa (as many may picture in their mind), instead, they traveled to the southern part of what today is known as the Arabian Peninsula - the geographical area of modern-day Yemen which was part of the Kingdom of Aksum (Abyssinia / Ethiopia) at that time. So, when we think of "black" we should not assume the phenotypes / skin complexions are exclusively native to the continent of Africa because people across the Red Sea resembled each other.

West Africans don’t have one look. The same way East Africans have different looks. A person from Omo valley, South Sudan, Oromo, Tigray, and Kunama look very different. With in all of these groups majority of the people are brown and dark skin with Afro texture hair. Bilal in the movie was dark skin and slim, which he was described to be very dark skinned. He could have passed for anything, including East African. He didn’t look like Burna boy or John boyega. I’ve been to addis and all I saw was a sea of dark skinned people a few lighter brown. Arab with a black mother doesn’t mean he is going to be light skinned or mixed looking. Most southern Arabians were already brown with curly hair. He probably looked more like his mother. He wouldn’t have looked like a European- black mixed raced person anyway. Even today the ruling class Arabs are whiter than the rest because of mixing.

[@Nobody-q2j]

@@halimashehu770 A lot of what you said was true, but not everything. Some of your statements have nuance behind it. I don’t want to make this long, but the plain fact is that Bilal’s mother was Abyssinian (Habesha) and his father was Arab. I understand that the ancient Arabs were a dark skinned people. But colorism still existed among them just like it exists in the African American community today. We see lighter skin as more desirable because of the white people we see in power and want to assimilate into that paradigm. During the time of Bilal and the Arabs 1400 years ago, the Roman’s and Persians were superpowers. So the Arabs had the same inferiority complex that we have. Nonetheless the Arabs had tribalism just like Sub Saharan Africans have tribalism today. The point is that Arabs have intermixed with Abyssinians for a long time before the coming of prophet Muhummad. Not to mention that Yemeni southern Arabs and Axumite Abyssinians have been trading and coexisting since before the time of Jesus.

Yes, the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) was indeed a black Arab man resembling the complexion of Nipsey Hussel or Haile Selassie‼️ I also saw our Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) in a dream many years ago‼️ The word Abyadh: “European or Caucasianal white” in Arabic is not what’s intended when the old Arabs talked‼️ Rather, what they meant was: Al Hintee Al-Laun meaning - “Wheatish or peanut Complexioned” with an Hilyah ( Overtone ) of Sudaa’a ( Black or brownness ), “Lightskinned” or “Mixed” because the Arabs originate from a hot region, constantly under the sun which naturally gives them a dark tinge and tanned so their complexions range from being very dark, light brown to many shades of a brown people never pink or red people‼️ So when the Arab used the word “Black” it simply meant very dark complexion Udmaa and “Abyadh” it mean light-brown or Lightskin‼️

The Hijaz according to Chinese manuscripts up until the 15th century was populated by "people of a very dark purple complexion" p.174 in Ying-Yai Sheng-Lan, ‘The Overall Survey of the Ocean’s Shores’ [1433] J.V. G. Mills (1970) Cambridge University Press. This was a manuscript written by a Ma Huan a translator and documenter for Zheng He’s expeditions. That is why al-Dhahabi wrote that fair-skin was very rare in Hijaz and anyone possessing it was assumed or considered of slave descentt. The people in Hijaz in that time of the Arabs came of Qays ailan Elyas and the Yemenite tribes. "Sorry to break some peoples hearts".

This guy keeps saying "black" like it means something? South Arabians, Habesha, Somalis etc are all dark but would not be considered stereotypically "black" (ie Nee-groyd/west African, kinky hair, wide nose bridges, protruding jaws etc). The peninsular Arab tribes were 4, genetically and culturally; they were Arabian (Ishmaelites), Old South Arabian (Qahtani Arabs descendants of Hadramaut and Himyar) Abyssinians (look very different to other Africans), and the Cushites (ie people from Bilad Al Barbar/ the horn of Africa, ie the Somalis who also look very distinct from Africans and had shared lineages with both Ishmalites nd Old South Arabian peoples). The latter 3 racial groups skin tones varying from very dark skin to light brown skin, but are not racially "black" as we understand the term black today. To go ahead and say now, these people looked west African simply because of their skin tone, is a big joke. Imagine calling a Somali west African. Or Mehri Yemenite west African.

[@alasanabayo8484]

No one defined black as west African, I mean no one. You are called black when your skin colour is black including somalis, whether they like it or not. Don't you know their are some tribes in West Africa that have lighter skin colour than Somalis? A lot of indians are black, although they call themselves brown, but average west African has lighter skin than them. This is the reason why the sheikhs need to talk about this issues, because their are a lot of racism in Islamic world. As everyone can see some Arabs feel they're superior and it's clearly written in the works of some scholars. All human are equal regardless of our skin colour, the only thing that makes you superior is your iman

[@Somali.Pirate1]

@@alasanabayo8484 and what is the significance in being black? It is like talking about white skin in relation to Chinese people, when they have nothing to do with Caucasians. By saying black you are not differentiating between the different groups, many of whom who are as close to one another as an Anglo-Saxon is to a Chinese. You will find some that are lighter or darker than the other yet explains nothing of any importance, you are reducing entire population groups to a color, essentializing everything about them (therein lies the actual racism). Sharing the same skin color doesn't mean you share the same struggles, maybe that's the horse crap you have been fed in the west, but is not the case in most Islamic countries.

[@Somali.Pirate1]

@@alasanabayo8484 You only want to highlight racism when it is an Arab doing it. But their is just as much racism, colorism, and tribalism in Africa. Don't bring your wokism to Islam mate. Racism is bad when done by whitey and blacky.

[@alasanabayo8484]

@@Somali.Pirate1 what is the significance of not being black? Ohh yes all blacks are have the same struggle. When you go to India they look down on there own race just because they are black. When you go to the Arabs they're still making black people slaves ( making them work for months when they ask for salary they are deported). That's why it necessary for Islamic scholars to speak about sahabas who are blacks and the fact that their is a possibility of the prophet himself being black. What is the offense of saying that Ali may be black? You look down on black people that's why you don't want to accept that, the people you look up to could be black. racism is really happening in the Muslim world, just because people are not talking about it doesn't mean it is not there. The man is giving you clear proof, but all you do is blablabla with out any genuine argument.

The prophet Muhammad was not white lol. When describing Prophet Muhammad (SAW) the word used in Arabic is ﺃﻣﻐﺮ (amghar). Yes it was the word used for the people that the Arabs called “white”, However Europeans DO NOT qualify for the word ﺃﻣﻐﺮ (amghar) and the Arabs didn’t call Europeans “white” as used to describe the Prophet (saw). Muhammad (saw) was no where near the complexion of a European white as now in modern times. when the Arabs say, ‘so-and-so is white, they [only] mean a noble character (al-karam fi l-akhlaq), not skin color. It is when they say ‘so-and-so is red’ (ahmar- hamra) that they mean white skin.

Imam Al Dhahabi ( Seera A’laam Al Nubalaa, Chapter 2, page 168) said that ‘“Red, in the dialect of the Hijaazi people means a pale white complexion and it was a colour that was rare amongst them.” Al Dhahabi lived in the 14th century / Doesn't mean Umar wasn't reddish ("fair"). He probably was as his mother was a slave. Al-Dhahabi said if one was "red" in the Hijaz they were assumed to come from slaves.
