Because the Masjid he came up under still had very separatist , ultra black nationalist tendencies. They were trying to get out of that way of thinking but it was still in the early phases of change over to orthodox Islam. But I think he’s too smart to get caught up in that kind of thinking. Umar realizes that he can make money by poverty pimping and selling “black”. I think he’s just trying to make a living by being controversial and pro black.

From my understanding, I think Dr. Umar is talking about the practices of the Muslims, not the religion. As a Muslim from a Muslim country, most Muslims think of black people as inferior to them, which is against the teachings of the religion. Therefore, if these Muslims think that way, then as a reaction, Dr. Umar is rejecting them (Arabs) and not the religion and instead focusing on black issues as it matters to black people more than religion based on his pov, which makes sense because you cannot cooperate and submit your mind to someone who does not have respect for you.

Elaborate. What truth?

[@GhettoDetective]

​@@sonofadam99 What truth?🤨 The proof is right on your screen man, brother Anwar is going around the question while wearing an Arab thobe ! Do i need to elaborate more ?

[@sonofadam99]

@@GhettoDetective It teaches you to wear a thobe? No, you don’t have to. Your clothing has to be according to Islamic standards. You and Umar (Arab name) don’t know what you’re talking about. Why do many African Americans have Arab names? Jamal, Khalil/Khaleel, Hakeem, etc? You missed the irony.

Im black American and im muslim i dont eat like a arab or dress like one but I AM A MUSLIM WHO PRACTICES BEING A MUSLIM NOT A ARAB !

Allah guide whom He wants to Islam I'm sorry for him 😢

I didn’t know that the religion of all the prophets was Islam. Where do I find that?

i don't think he's ignorant, because these things he can ask about if he wants to know, he can read and ask people of knowledge about worshiping and other things. these things can be easily explained, but he clearly didn't even bother

[@SoloVentureExplorer]

He is ignorant since he spoke without knowledge. Indeed, he could have asked the people of knowledge if he doesn't know. And it's so sad because the Qur'an mentions this in Surah an-Nahl, ayah 43.

[@kalijasin]

@@SoloVentureExplorer Looks like you took that out of context. Here’s the entire text of an-nahl 43 in English. “We did not send ˹messengers˺ before you ˹O Prophet˺ except mere men inspired by Us. If you ˹polytheists˺ do not know ˹this already˺, then ask those who have knowledge ˹of the Scriptures˺.”

[@NoNames824]

@@youshi96 sounds like he is ignorant according to how you describe him lol

[@medicineman6253]

What language does his African spirituality speak? Which of the African spirituality does he follow? All of them speak different languages, and none of them speak English. How does he worship if they don’t understand English. If his concerns are of language and living a certain lifestyle. It is obvious he is not English because we know what the English looks like.

Dr. Johnson has the first name of one of the most righteous Muslims in history, and yet he is so far from living up to that name.

Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatu. Excellent response my brother. How is he so ignorant that he don’t realize that the Quran had to be revealed in some nations language to someone of that nation. Is he so stuck on blackness that he ignores that we blacks had all varieties of shirk, and cannibalism in many African cultures? He’s so in love with blackness that he pretends not to know that the reason why African empires, and the African continent as a whole crumbled because of all of the shirk and self worship that was practiced. Subhan’Allah may Allah guid him insha’Allah.

[@Mobile-pd1uc]

I doubt he was Muslim, he calls them Aye-rabs.

[@toyamickens3191]

YES HE WAS MUSLIM

[@fsheik1127]

He identifies with his skin colour before his religion. Thats his personal choice. When I heard them telling black people they shouldn’t support the Palestinians. I understood he is firstly black. He came out of Islam not long ago and his justification was weird as hell. You can not pretend for ever. Good luck to him

[@SKPainify]

He knows good and proper that Islam would fix almost all the problems in the black community.

[@sabaffira]

Unfortunately while questioning all that he is still clothed, eating the food and speaking the language of his ancestors’ white masters.

4:36, shaykh didnt Allah legislate the prayer because jibril aleyhi salam came down to the prophet peace be upon him to show him how to pray?

[@youngmo77]

..who sent Djibril allehi Salam and for what purpose?? Let's start there.

[@oneway706]

Umar is right
