Abdulbary Yahya – Was There Racism After Islam

			Was there racism in Arabia and as there was racism after Islam, the Muslim Institute presents q&a
with Abdullah Bharatiya, when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam conquered
		

			the Messenger of Allah sallallahu wasallam ordered beleived to stand on the Kaaba to make the and
when he made that
		

			that was a revolutionary act. From the simple standpoint that this man was an Abyssinian slave, a
black, Abyssinian slave on top of the Kaaba,
		

			the most sacred site on the face of this earth, a black man was on top of it, proclaiming the
greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			It was so revolutionary. In fact, some of the new Muslims, they said
		

			Alhamdulillah our praises be to God, that my father died before seeing this black man stand up on
the cabin.
		

			Racism was there in Arabia, they accepted Islam, yet
		

			Islam fought racism, but it did it eliminate racism. Well, you see it, it's still there, and in the
society, even in Muslim societies now. But Islam was far ahead of its time. In fact, it fight racism
from the very beginning and they gave them rights. And it also promoted the freeing of slavery and
so it fight against slavery before even the whole the world at that time, had accepted slavery and
from China all the way to Europe and other parts of the world. It was a known fact of life. Yet
Islam came to free free people to proclaim that there is no difference between Arabic and non Arab,
when or nor a black and white except in character, except in piety accepted righteousness. And so,
		

			when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told the lie, the stand up there was a revolutionary
change. And there were many revolutionary changes, and many things that Islam came to fight against
in some of these things we accept for a fact now, but Islam was far ahead of its time at that time.
And so, these issues and other issues will be covered in the upcoming class known as homecoming. The
Medina phase and period of the seer of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu.
