the
		

			slavery was a terrible thing. And they institutionalize the destruction of culture. They wouldn't
let people speak their native languages, they would not allow you to pray too fast. Nothing to do
with Islam, if you were caught reading Arabic, they would like, kill you during if you're eating
anything. It's an instant outcome. So therefore, you know, the culture of African people, not only
Islam, it was the Ashanti and karate and Yoruba, it was systematically taken out of the slaves until
they were called negros. They were subjugated people, and they were given the names of their slave
masters. So you look at Afro Americans and Afro Caribbean, Afro Canadian, they have British names
		

			and French names, those are not African names. So this is William Smith Jones, it was taken out of
them. So So Islam, you know, was systematically taken out. But I believe the prayer the dua of those
enslaved people who resist it, and Allah's mercy, it kept something inside of the soul inside of the
