Racism in Our Ranks | Khutbahs with Purpose

Does racism really exist in Muslim communities? According to an ISPU poll, the answer is yes. Black Muslims are just as likely to experience racism from their own faith community as Black Americans are from their own faith communities (i.e. other Christians), with both groups more likely to report experiencing racial discrimination from the general public. In 2017, 60% of American Muslims reported some level of religious discrimination within the past year and that most non-white Muslims described experiencing some sort of racial discrimination in that same year. Imagine that atop all these offenses, Black Muslims, who represent 1/3 of the Muslims in America, also experience such treatment from their fellow Muslims. That should alarm us, because masājid are meant to be sanctuaries that protect us from forgetting Allah, and from forgetting our equality in front of Him. This talk demonstrates examples of racism within our communities and identifies steps to take to eliminate it.

The most amazing lecture on racism that I have ever heard. Every muslim needs to hear it.

[@oldlahore1857]

Arrogance is increasing nowadays in the hearts of even believers! May Allah protect us!!!

[@oceanflyer7078]

Who is this great speaker? Truly a compelling speech. I think I cried a bit to listen the prevalence of racism among us. Some of the muslims still have seeds of ignorance (jahiliyyah) within them.

[@handa3606]

Amazing. May Allah reward this brother. He needs to appear in more of Yaqeens videos.

[@zarifa8865]

[@markward3981]

السلام عليكم The hatred against us runs deep in many cultures. Until we love each and raise up the oppression and ideology of oppression will continue. May Allah reward the speaker and protect us from oppression.

[@MrUaip]

A message to humanity! Great great talk. Powerful to say the least. May God soften our hearts and to make us realise and understand we are equal. May he help us all to get rid of the diseases we have in our hearts at times and me he forgive us and accept our repentance. Amen/Ameen. Peace and blessings 🙏🏾❣️🤲🏾

قال الرّسول الحبيب محمّد صلّى اللّه عليه و سلّم في حديث صحيح : لا فضل لعربيّ على أعجميّ و لا لأبيض على أسود إلًا بالتّقوى .

[@orangesandroses9448]

It is really sad because our religion Islam is so different from the duniyah (worldly) life that sometimes a Muslim brother needs the brothers to support each other or a Muslim sister will need the sisters to support each other and when the black one is sidelined or always made to feel like they aren't enough of a person, it then just becomes very hard on the black Muslim.

[@msshy8854]

Thank you for this, I almost joined The Nation of Islam

[@nasadeen1972]

As Salaam Alakium. There are no "slaves" when it comes to Allah. Just servants.

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

Yes brother, hit them with the Scripture. Nothing like the Quran to make it clear.

‎وكان علي آدم شديد الادمة "Ali ibn Abi Taalib was Jet Black (Adam Shadeed Al-Udma) ⚡️ The Anti-Ahl’Al’Bayt ideology, which is the ideology of Anti-True Islâm - joined hand with western indraist ideology to produce the Anti-Black ideology in the Ummah. Actually The False-Islâm of the Ummayads, Abbasids and Al Seouds deceive you. Ismaelites ( like Israelites ) are Kushites-Këmites ( Blacks ) and not to be confused with Beduins. Another proof it is what Researchers say about the First Imâm of Islâm Âli Ibn Abu Tâlib - Alayhi Salâm - ⚡️ Al Baladhuri in his book "Ansaab Al Ashraaf" chapter 2 page 868 : ⚡️ ‎إن شئت قلت إذا نظرت :ليه: هو آدم , وإن تبينته من قريب قلت: أن يكون أسمر أدنى من أن يكون آدم "If you look at him , you would think he is Adam (Jet Black), but if you get close, you would see that he is in fact a Black Nan neither ekstremely dark nor very clear (Asmar) close to the Adam color. Al Baladhuri in the same book "Ansâb Al Ashrâf" : ⚡️ ‎. وعن أبي جعفر الباقر قال: كان علي آدم, شديد الأدمة , ثقيل العينين, عظيمهما, وهو إلى القصر أقرب. Al Dharabi in his book "Taarikh Al Islaam" page 227, describe imâm Ali ibn Abi Tâlib as Adam Shadeed Al-Udma ( noir ténébreux) ⚡️ ‎ "و كان علي (بن ابي طالب) شيخا, سمينا, أ صلع, كثير الشعر, ربعة الى القصر, عظيم البطن, عظيم اللحية جدا, قد ملأت ما بين منكبيه, بيضاء كأنها قطن, آدم شديد الأدمة « . "Ali is a stocky, bald, hairy man of medium height who leaned towards brevity. He had a large belly and a big beard that filled everything between his shoulders. His beard was white as if it were cotton and he was a man with black skin " Al Suyuti in his book "Târih Al Khulafâ" say Ali ibn Abi Taalib Jet Black "Adam Shadeed al-udma) page134 . ⚡️ ‎وسئل أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين عن صفة علي رضي الله عنه فقال: كان رجلا آدم شديد الأدمة , مقبل العينين عظيمهما ذا بطن أصلع ربعة إلى القصر لا يخضب. Ali ibn Abi Talib was Jet Black "AdamShadeed Al Udma" Ibn Abdel Barr in his book "Al fi istiyaab Marafti Al Ashâb , page 1110-1111 ⚡️ ‎و من ذكر علي بن أبي طالب ‎ابن عبد المطلب بن هاشم بن عبد مناف بن قصي بن مرة بن كعب بن لؤي يكنى أبا الحسن رضي الله تعالى عنه واسم أبي طالب عبد مناف بن عبد المطلب واسم عبد المطلب شيبة بن هاشم واسم هاشم عمرو بن عب مناف واسم عبد مناف المغيرة قصي واسم قصي بن كلاب بن زيد مرة بن كعب بن لؤي وكان آدم شديد الأدمة ثقيل العينين عظيمها وقد قالوا أعمش ذا بطن سمنا أصلع دون الربعة عظيم اللحية رضوان عليه Ahmed ibn 'Amru ibn Al-Dahhaak Abou Bakr Al-Shaibaani describe Ali ibn Abi Taalib (Alayhi Salâm) Ali était ekcessively black of skin (Adam Shadeed al-udma) page 81 ⚡️ ‎وقال زهير بن معاوية: كان علي يكنى أبا قاسم, وكان رجلا آدم شديد الأدمة , ثقيل العينين عظيمهما, ذا بطن, أصلع, وهو إلى قصر أقرب, وكان أبيض الرأس واللية Ibn Asaakir in his book (Târih Al Dimasq) chapitre 2, page 12 Zuhair ibn Mu'awiyah say: "Ali - Alayhi Salâm - was the Father of Qasim, et he is a man ekstremely Black , bald, with a large belly and big eyes. The scholars Mohamed ibn Talha Al-Shaafa'ie and Al-Safadi describe also Imâm Tâlib - Alayhi Salâm - as Jet Black (AdamShadeed Al-Udma). ⚡️ So The Problem is : if it is not Lack of Knowledge, what Bainwashing is causing the saying that « Arabs are whites »?

I have to stop going to my local masjid just for this reason. They don’t want to touch shoulders with me. They would rather let shaytan through the ranks.
