[QUOTE]Originally posted by abdulkarem3: [QB] [QUOTE]no, because he was never identified as such. his eye-witnesses considered him light-skinned in the community. the arabs considered themselves a dark-skinned nation as compared to their white-skinned roman and persian neighbors however they considered themselves a multi-colored nation as compared to the african based nations. according to arab skin-color terminology he would not be considered black. in the peninsula arabic culture, skin color was a description and not a ethnic i.d. they called african foriegners habashi because of a look and not because of a ethnic description. you have to specify your definition of black because different people have their own views of what is and what is not black. there are pale-skinned russians considered blacks by their standards. some dark-skinned africans do not consider themselves black because of their circumstance and standard. [/q] Can you elaborate?[/QUOTE]the arabs consider themselves dark skin the messenger aof allah alahi salaam said "..they are from our skin(color) and they speak our language" sahih bukhari-book of trials-the matter involving no unity amongst the muslim nation the messenger alahi salaam by contrast of his companions who were over whelmingly arab and who were those who described him said that he was light skinned(yellowish) mixed with some reddish( light brown) and not dark skinned. some reports confirm that he was seen as light brown because of exposure to the sun. therfore within the nation of the arabs whose skin colors ranged from deep-black like the wolof to the brownish levels like alot of nations to the yellowish light skin will have their own terminology color contrast. so eventhough as compared overall he, muhammad alahi salaam, being yellow in complexion when not exposed to sun is considered dark to the bedhaan nations, he is considered white within the arab nation. Just like they called the deep-black skinned poetic/knightly/chivalrous arabs the arab crows or arab ravens because of their skin color and courage. they called arabs that looked like the slaves they got from syrian christians and romans red. they called arabs with muhammad's color alahi salaam "the red clay" so this is why he would not be considered black. because he is described by members of his nation as tannish white or red clayish like [b]as an individual[/b] the same as a light skinned AA describing [b]himself[/b] as light in color but considering himself black because of the nomenclature of the nation or an igbo-national calling himself ochocha which literally means white or mauretanian maqali arabs in which the lightest they appear is yellowish ex.Here lies a picture of two arabs one is a red syrian(white)(rajul ahmr)and the other is a mauritani bidhani(white mauritanian)even though he himself, in complexion, is azhar-light skinned with yellowish complexion appearing dark [IMG]http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0afH5YLeKrh2c/610x.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
