I’m so proud to be a Muslim girl from the Mandika tribe it makes me so happy to hear the great contributions our ancestors made to the world, it’s truly a shame that we don’t get to learn these things
Subhan’Allah the knowledge she teaches about my history is such a beautiful reminder. I went searching for this specific topic. One of my favorite lectures. May Allah reward her, ameen. 🌸
This highlights that knowledge is an Attribute of Allah that gives light to even hidden truths. More knowledge buried within silenced women Muslims needs to be delivered by them. Sukran Katir!
Sr leasha prima your age at woman. Assalam alaikum .I like your accent .I like listing while your lamenting about some facts in issues. May Allah reward you with your families abundantly and may Allah guide u to the straight patch. Ameen.
She speaks with such conviction. It would interesting to hear how the Nation of Islam and the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, under the guidance of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan significant role it played in America. After all Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik Shabazz) were originally members of the Nation of Islam. In addition, how Nation of Islam influenced in the prisons and conflict resolution between street organizers ("gangs") Lest not forget the historical Million Man March in 1995 called by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.
Alhamdulliah, Sister Iesha Prime delivered a great presentation. May Allah SWT bless and reward her, inshallah. It's impossible to discuss the history of Al-Islam in America without discussing the African-American contributions to this Deen. Muslims in America today wouldn't enjoy the freedom of practicing Al-Islam without them. You can't even discuss this history without some of the pseudo-Islamic movements such as the Qadriani Ahmadis, the Moorish Science Temple and the Nation of Islam since they played far major roles in the growth of this Deen than those who claim to follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW. In fact, the immigrants from the so-called Muslim World who claimed to follow the Sunnah, strayed from their mission spreading dawah to the American people, specifically African-Americans. This was how these movements mentioned above were successful. However, the biggest disappointment with her presentation was that she took the Honorable Supreme Minister Elijah Muhammad out as much as she could. We would not have Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Muhammad Ali, or Imam Wallace Mohammed (Elijah Muhammad's son) without him. I advise you all to read the book, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad: The Man Behind The Men by Imam Mikal Saahir. What people do not know was that according to Imam Mohammed, his father took shahada during his dying days.
Huh? Pseudo-islamic movement Qadiani! Please brother read the spread of Islam in the America. It was in fact the Ahmadiyyat which plant the foundation of active Islamic missions in the USA. Eliajah Mohammad used the interpretation of the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as). He then interpolated and extrapolated these teachings which result in the NOI today.
No one has the power to guide, nor worthy of credit except Allah SWT. Thus, Elijah Muhammad nor any others mentioned in claims are worthy of credit. Furthermore, the NOI are not Muslim, and Allahu'alam.
standard reading and knowledge for black american muslims. Islam 101 for many of us. I have these books from circa 1991. i'm glad she is dropping this so people can understand and know.
Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center Jazak Allahu Khairun keep up the good work enjoy it especially that my family are slave descendants from Island Jamaica 🇯🇲....
Mandinka is one of the languages within Louisiana Creole or LOUISIANA creole French.called Patois or Pasta. However again we are independent nations non American with fully functioning government still in 2019. We are just mostly ignored. The idea of Native Americans is fallacy America was created in 1776 so native people where here before that. To be indigenous by law you have to predate the existence of America. Seminole is a Muscogee language which is also apart of Louisiana Creole and Gullah-Geechee Language.
This is from a non-Indigenous Muslim perspective its from the perspective of African-American mindset which means rooted in British colonial Blacks from the 13 colonies prior to 1763 and 1803 Blacks brought into Indian Country and Louisiana. Prior to those dates the British had no control of most of the land and islam was dominant in most places blended between Africans and First Nations. Indigenous Muslims indentify as tribal citizens of tribal government while African-Americans or assimilated indigenous Blacks identify as Americans. This is a big fitna America's existence violates our treaty rights. We have a right to Self-Government. We have our own history and traditions and flavor of Islam. In a way Islam is becoming colonial becuase the majority of Muslims are rejecting the original Muslim tribes of this land like mine Louisiana Creole which is also called Mound Builders or French Indians or Spanish Indians. Imam Jamil is a Louisiana Creole he stated "Violence is as American as Apple pie. " Imam Jamil is from Baton Rouge (Istrouma) Louisiana a city names after the anti-slavery war of the red sticks.
THE QURAN ON THE NOBILITY OF BLACKNESS. “And when your Lord said to the Angels: I am going to create a mortal of sounding clay, of Black mud fashioned into shape. So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.” Surah 15, verse 26-29. The Original man was created from black substance altered to become black skin, this and other similar verses makes many Muslims very uncomfortable. Some will quote a Hadith which states that the Angles went about collecting different types of mud to add to the Black mud, hence the reason why we have differences in skin tones etc. They quote this Hadith and try to put it above the Quran, to ease their unease, but Hadith cannot be placed over the Quran. This verse is not allegorical, it’s clear and decisive about what was used to create this man, that he was created complete no mentioning of any other ingredient like other types of mud, anyway as an artist even if you add any other colours to black, they will disappear, so I understand the Hadith in this way and as a metaphor about how the other races came about out of the Black mud. The second tongue in cheek opposition to this verse is where they will quote another verse about the creation of man into nation and tribes in order for us to know ourselves etc. This verse in no way contradicts Surah 15: 26-29, it’s another issue about discrimination based on divisions due to skin tone, family, tribes and nations, it does not contradicts or lessens the original creation from Black mud. Allah in his infinite wisdom knew before hand what will be the plight of black skinned people post Baba Adam (S), he knew that dark skinned persons in every culture in this world will be is despised, so the existence of the verse is not by accident. Adam (S) being created by Allah of Black mud made him Noble, despite the lowliness of that dark putrid mud, the best of Allah’s creation was animated further by the Spirit of Allah being blown into him, and this distinction was transferred to his children also as the Quran states; 17:20, “And we have certainly honored the children of Adam ....and preferred them over much of what we have created, with (definite) preference.” Some Muslims and others will go so far in my estimation to accuse me of racism, or of being too occupied with race which they claim is a societal construct and therefore not real. Non dark skin people have the luxury of say that race is a social construct and not real, they have even convinced our black intellectuals of this, I agree to an extent if we had a better world civilisation and values, sure, but the grim reality of being dark skinned under the current Dominant Culture of the White race is as real as Racism can get. At the level of the genes, a red blooded German and a dark skinned Bantu could be similar, we accept that Science (even with it’s problems) however in this real world what matters is physiognomy, how you look that matters, it determines where you live, how you live, how you receives services, if you would be stopped and search, or shot outright, who you can and cannot marry and numerous other issues, socio-political, economical, and religious. To accept that narrative of race being unreal is to blind Black people, makes them vulnerable, especially the young, who have to be taught how to navigate, how to stand, speak, laugh, every damn natural thing in order to survive in this Current Civilisation. There is no escaping it, even in dark skinned families, tribes and societies the darker ones are objectified as either ugly, low class, violent or morally loose, especially peoples who have been conquered by White Nations or subjected to the Aryan caste system. So in order to understand why this is so, there are two reasons; One, Shaytan’s refusal to bow to Adam, Surah 7:12; “Allah said, “ What prevented you from prostrating (to Adam) when I commanded you?” He (Satan) said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.” So he was the first racist, so to speak, being a Jinn type, created before man from smokeless fire, he pointed that out to his Creator, as to why he refuse to prostrate to Adam (S) he also announced his and his kind hostility to Adam’s children and how he will proceed in his war. 1- (Shaytan) said, ‘Because you have put me in the wrong, I will surely sit in wait for them on the Straight Path’......7: 16 2- By whispers 7: 20, 20:120, 3- Swearing that he is a sincere advisor, 7:21 So he entices his tribe and followers (34:20, 17:64) against the Children of Adam, especially those who still look like Adam (S) with their dark skin. Quran 7:17- “I will come to them from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left,..” The second reason is that: In the past the world was dominated by dark skinned peoples and the White skinned people were subjected, conquered and enslaved, for many reasons they were kept out and seen as troublesome, until Black power declined and White power rose to eventually conquer the world, doing what dark skinned people did to them, they got even and are still doing so, this is my view. Hasan Anyabwile Allah Musta’an.
There is no difference btw black or white ,Arab or not except with takwa(fear of Allah ) so brother dont let colonialists contaminate u with their "race superiority" one way or another
Prophet Musa (a.s) was also a black man, according to the prophet (s.a.w), and is the most mentioned prophet in the Quran, so much that the prophet (s.a.w) said "the whole Quran almost became about Musa"!
As Salaamu Alaykum! One correction MALCOLM LITTLE /Malik El Shabazz , NOT Malcolm X! Those who HATE ARABS /ISLAM, REFUSE to acknowledge he REJECTED FalseHood of NoNationHisLam & EMBRACED ISLAM!
"X" is the black american replacement for last names that were imposed on africans during slavery. "Little" would have been the family name of his ancestor's slave masters, so addressing by a name that he rejected is offensive. Not everything is about arabs, its about liberation
This is exactly what Rasulullah SAW fought against with the sahaba once they came into the fold of Islam, i.e., TRIBALISM/TRIBAL Culture, and the black Muslim community is striving hard to revive it? What exactly is it that they want to lay claim to, and what purpose does it serve?
Nooooo we are just sharing our history... the Prophet Sallahu Alayhi Wasallam was proud of being Qurayshi. Why can’t we be proud to be African Americans and Muslims ?No one is saying anyone’s culture is less important than the next.
How is it unfathomable? The ancient Egyptians,Nubians, and Phoenicians had nautical voyages of about the same amount thousands of years before Abu Bakr the second. Also when you say “proven “ who’s approval are you in search of because many historians believe this account to be verifiable.
