@@innocentodinkemere4597 No it's the truth that the white Christians didn't see the blacks as equal human and treated the slaves horribly because of the Bible.

I read a full document on this same topic last year when I was making research on Jazz music.
Turns out when one of the Muslim slaves would call out others for prayers by adhan, the others thought it a sort of worshipful music.
So, it came out that when they sang, they'd sing like the Bilaali did their adhan.
It's a long history and these racist fools think that their assumed ' supremacy ' would be challenged if it was discovered that there lived smarter people in their midsts long before they were themselves educated
So jazz came from Islam?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j yep, check it out. It's a direct simulation of adhan
These stories are fake
Muslims led 99% of slave rebellions

The second frieze to the right features a person holding a copy of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. It is intended to recognize Prophet Muhammad as one of the greatest lawgivers in the world, along with Moses, Solomon, Confucius, and Hammurabi, among others.

Just a few facts about Islam and America you might not have been aware of.
Come to futa
I wish the black community of America discovered this truth earlier.
Wouldn't have helped because the slave masters forced them into christianity
These stories are fake
The few Muslim slaves were all in rebellions
He forgot that every slave rebellion was Muslim
If you look at old enough documentaries of US slavery, you could see the slaves being Muslim and trying to pray five salahs a day until generation by generation it was removed from their identity by force. So the trinity is spread by the sword and enslavement. Why you think Lebanon, Egypt etc is a free country for all faiths. But historically Lebanon and Egypt is a Muslim country now Lebanon’s paying the steep price right now as we speak for trusting non-Muslims.
@esperantos. I am black American and had already new of this.
Your videos are incredibly well made and informative. Mashallah
His name was Macolm X but after becoming a true believer of Islam his name is now, Al Hajj Malik Al Shahbaz.

Very impressive! It you cite reference of your information, it would be highly appreciable
very informative. keep it up
Please note that The Arab Muslim slave trade, also known as the trans-Saharan trade or Eastern slave trade, is noted as the longest slave trade, having occurred for more than 1,300 years while taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign lands in the most inhumane conditions.
Takbeer!
Keep up with such videos. Many many people don't know the great history of muslims in those places. More black Americans can really benefit frim such information. Thank you so much mashalla 🙏
Not a real story
How could, the highest clergy in Christian, permit the slave trades ans slavery..that lasted for centuries and result in death of hundred thousands if not millions of initially free & innocent people...
Unbelievable
The Church isn't about religion. It's about power, control and influence.
Slavery is permissible in Islam
How could Islamic empires permit slave trading and slavery of European Christians, black Africans, and other non-Muslims that lasted for centuries and resulted in the death of hundreds of thousand if not millions of initially free and innocent people?
The question should be why anyone would want to be Christian knowing the history of Europeanized Christianity
assalamulaykum akhi , how did you learn all this cool stuff , you have awakened a deep desire in me , btw we met once at TIC at a history halakah allahumabarik

The crazy thing about the slave trade mentioned in this video. This was the worst slave trade in human history and it’s not even close.
Mashallah, brother, a really beautiful video! I've never known that a third of all slaves were Muslims, that is a huge number o_O
Suggestion which is related to this very topic: A video about the Arabs arriving in America before the vikings, the story, their influence, both religious and linguistic (noting many indigenous tribal names descend from Arabic)
Selam from your friend from BiH and Bangladesh!

What a great insight into the American Islamic history. I like the way Islam revived after centuries of slavery
Very interesting ❤
Roots the movie depicts this fact. Unfortunately the colonizers forced the African slaves to convert into Christianity.
Assalamualaikum brother.

As salamu alaykum brother, there is a record of native Indian's tribe of america being muslims prior to slaves
I've heard of possible contact between muslims and natives but I haven't found any strong enough evidence to make a video on.

@@OmaroftheOrient Allegedly, Mansa Musa's Brother or Father set sail for the Americas with over a thousand ships. Christopher Columbus notes in his journal that when he spoke to the Native Americans, they told him that “Black-skinned people had come from the south-east in boats, trading in gold-tipped spears”. The native Americans described the spearheads as “guanin”, a word for “gold” in the language of the Mali Empire. Chemical analysis of the spearheads determined that the gold was most likely from West Africa.
@@OmaroftheOrient Read They came before Columbus by Ivan van Sertima.
@@OmaroftheOrientThe Moors that ruled Spain were West African, mostly Muslims. This is why the pope ordered their slavery. Some of the Spanish Moors were sent into slavery in The gold mines of Peru, and in the Caribbean. We have Arabic speaking Maroons (runaway slaves) in Jamaica where created Maroon communities in the mountains. The first community is called "Moore Town". And yes, the moors were black Africans. The definition got changed circa 1730's, dictionaries Spanish, French, English, Dutch and German...clearly shows this.
Thank you so much
May Allah subhaanuhu watallah grant them hiegh Jannah fardousa Ameen
Actually moors ( Moroccan Muslims) were indirectly responsible for miseries of west African muslim brothers. Morocco Invaded west Africa with firearms, destroying centalised rule, created anarchy. This situation boomed muslim slave hunting by surrounding tribes.
😭😭😭
When did Moroccans invade west African, what tribe or nation did they invade? Whats the source of what you are saying?
Fake
They did invade west Africa the were looking for gold .. but all West Africans were considered Moors at one time ..the Moorish dynasty called Almoravid was of West African Origin .. trying to limit Moors to North Africa or the Kingdom of Morocco is like trying to limit the Roman Empire to Italy
Calling West Sudan Negros and North Africans Moors is as if the Sahara was a huge insurmountable wall .. these are the same people Berber or Amazigh/ Fulani/ Garamantes these people are all Moors
@@cledwards Moroccans in 1590, under Their Sultan Ahmad Al Mansur Invaded Great Songhai Empire of west Africa, a regional muslim super- power just for looting gold. Soldiers of Songhai empire fought bravely but they have no answer for firearms, war became a massacre.
Thanks!
Thanks for the super chat 😊

Amazing history, Jazzaka Allah Kheir Bro.... Rahima Allah Brother El-Hajj Malik El-Shabbaz (Malcolm X)
More information on pope Nicolas V allowing slavery:
the Pope issued a mandate to the Portuguese king, Alfonso V, and instructed him:
. . . to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever …[and] to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and to apply and appropriate to himself and his successors the kingdoms, dukedoms, counties, principalities, dominions, possessions, and goods, and to convert them to his and their use and profit . . .
Very good video. Can you make one about the muslim slave trade ? Or slaves in the ottoman empire? Thank you brother !

To add on this, there were a lot of european explorers who started sailing around america in the early age of discovery, and depicting many of the natives of dark skin/negroid complex
True......❤
The end of the narrative should have mentioned Warith-Deen Mohammed. Reverted his father Elijah to Islam. Ford Mohammed wasn't a Moorish Science Temple follower. He was said to be a Ahmadia.
May Allah SWT bless you

Thanks for clarifying that none of these gentlemen left Islam . They were all educated despite the challenge circumstances that they faced. When the news media reported about Omar ibn said the gave inaccurate information.
None of these people were slaves
If only more of the black cummunity would wake up to their true history. May brother Malcom be rewarded with the greatest levels of jannah for his sacrifice and bringing so many to the true islam ❤️
Very educational . Thank you!
Unfortunately he lied.

Abu Bakr II, King of Mali.
Edit: Also see Thor Heyerdahl recreating the reed boats that Abu Bakr would have used, to prove that the voyage would have been very possible.
Malcolm X (later renamed himself el-Hajj Malik el-Shabaz) was converted by ( and later denounced) Rev. Elijah Mohamed. But was he not a Quranic scholar well before joining the reverend’s “Nation”?
No. He was a criminal who went to jail. When he got out, he joined the Nation of Islam as a mushrik. The Nation of Islam is not a muslim organization and elijah muhammad was not a muslim.
Malcolm X was only Muslim for the last 11 months of his life before he was assassinated by the Nation of Islam
Why do people keep pushing the agenda that Malcolm didn't know Al-Islam proper until he performed the Hajj, that's completely false. Malcolm and Elijah Muhammed had already new what Al-Islam is, in fact Elijah performed the Umrah in place of Malcolm and and was given the name Malik Shabazz from Elijah when he was still a minister. The name Shabazz is from the doctrine of the N.O.I.
So, how much misinformation is there in the novel and Hollywood production "Roots"? I've seen it and read the book too, but that was countless years ago.
Bro just told the whole history of the nation of Islam
I actually have another more in-depth video on my channel on the Nation of Islam
And now they strut around in our style like they're the ultimate! There's also a video by Prof. James Smalls detailing this. Did you also know that they first Black President of the U.S. was a Moor, John Hanson 1781-1782?
That flag in the thumbnail looks cool! Hopefully we see it soon on the whitehouse, if north korea russia and china didn't nu ke america in ww3 before that ofcourse🙄
I look forward to your video on the enslavement of Europeans by the Ottomans, that lasted well into the 20th Century, long after slavery was abolished in America.
Slave in Ottoman is in the military and is given salary.. Unlike the west
Why is Malcolm's eyes covered, is that some sort of school of thought?
If a third of the slaves taken from Africa were Muslim were the other 2/3rds Christian or Pagans?
Most would have been anamist or pagan since Christian since they were taken from lands like Nigeria and Congo which hadn't been colonized by the Christians yet

Also, it's documented that the Kingdom of Kongo had been introduced to Catholicism by the Portuguese before the height of the Trans-Atlantic Trade also. The leaders of Stono Rebellion in the South Carolina colony comes to mind.

True history is good to hear. Most large religions have been spread by the sword. It was true for Christianity especially by the conquistadors in what is latin american and for Islam in north africa and many other places. Prior to Islam the dominant language in the cities of north africa was an extinct roman language. It is completely gone and extinct now. Prior to Islam; Christian Egypt was not predominantly Arabic speaking and now it is predominantly muslim. The Muslims were relatively more tolerant of Christian and Jews than were the Christian of Jews and Muslims. But all of the Abrahamic religions are intolerant of those that differ from their particular teachings.
The strange thing today is that many palestinians had jewish ancestors and are likely genetically closer to what jew were in classical times than is the case for Ashkenazi Jews that have a lot of ancient southern european jewish and later on nordic and slavic DNA in them. The male or why chromosomes tend to be semitic in origin.
There are few traces of Islam in current african americans. There is more of the ancient african pagan beliefs that are still present as traces. Even that is disappearing.
Who said that immigration of muslims to europe is bad ??

The first contact that the Portuguese navigator by the name of Diogo Cao, was when he venture into the Congo river and came across a massive crowed, of which a grate part of it was prisoners of a tribe which had last the battle. The Lider of the wining side offer the prisoners as trading "goods". Diogo Cao subsequently proceeded voyage and in 1487 reached the Cape of Good Hope - Cape Town. I suggest that you pay a visit to the moseum of history in Lisbon in order that you don't talk crep about the Portuguese history. Slavery within the African continent was practice due to the wars between the difrent ethnic groups... I'm Portuguese and have been raised in Africa - Mozambique and still leaving in Africa. Yes, it was the Muslims that initiated the slave trade in the 1300's. The Muslim initial enslaved aprox 12 million Africans including from Mozambique. Get you facts right before coming public....
Malcolm spear headed the whole thing but he is one of the first here.

I researched this story briefly but I couldn't find any historic records that mention he was a muslim.
