Dear ex-Muslim
@nuriyahk
,
I and millions of Black Muslims are very happy to follow the beloved Prophet who was sent as a mercy to mankind.
May Allah guide you back to Islam.
Yours truly,
A Black Muslim
Dear Black Muslims,
I implore you to read this hadith and honestly, truly answer if you still respect this alleged ‘prophet’ who engages in 2 for 1 slave deals?!!🤮
Angry at the white devil for the trans-Atlantic slave trade?! Well, buckle up whilst you learn basic Islam 🫣😪
Anti-Blackness in Maliki Fiqh?
Although Islam teaches racial equality, anti-black sentiment does exist in some Arab-Muslim literature and Islamic law (fiqh) texts by traditional scholars.

This story illustrates why financial literacy should be taught in every school.
Making money is one thing, knowing how to manage it, is another thing all together.
Unfortunately, many Muslims believe that if a woman speaks or writes about sex or desire, she must be a wh*re. This type of attitude silences women from speaking publicly or writing about topics related to sex or desire. Things will not change unless more Muslims address it.

Combating Anti-Blackness in Muslim Texts...
Despite Islam's teaching of racial equality, anti-black sentiment is prevalent in many classical Maliki fiqh (legal) texts from non-black Muslim scholars.
Many Muslims’ have romanticised Islamic history where they think the first Muslim community was a utopian society with complete gender segregation, perfect marriages, and no intimacy issues. Anyone well-versed in Islamic history would know this is far from the truth.

Cultural attitudes have distorted the Islamic faith and led Muslims across the world into a state of sexual denial. Islam gave women the right to an orgasm 1400 years ago, and a woman has reasonable grounds for divorce if her husband cannot sexually satisfy her.

Sadly, the notion that blackness is undesirable is still prevalent in many Arab, North African and Asian Muslim communities.
It is important that this is called out, and blackness is celebrated, rather than wait for non-black people to validate the beauty of black women.

NEXT READ: Sexual Violation in Islamic Law by Hina Azam
The book provides a detailed analysis of Islamic juristic writings on the topic of rape. "Male sexual violence against women and girls is a major problem in contemporary Muslim societies" the author says.
Some Muslims prefer to ignore this. However I believe it is important to address such anti-black sentiment which contradict the noble teachings of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
May Allah illuminate the ignorant minds from the darkness of racism. May Allah strength the faith of those who have been subjected to anti-black colourism. And May Allah allow us to leave this world as Muslims who are free from the human cancer of racism.
The Prophet was raised by a black African woman called Umm Ayman.
May Allah have mercy upon her, and may He send peace and blessings upon our leader, Prophet Muhammad.

This assessment of desirability is based on the scholars' opinions and customs. It should not be taken as a timeless or universal declaration from Islam.
