[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jari-Ankhamun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by abdulkarem3: [qb] [QUOTE]One black influential figure I know of in Islam is Bilal ibn Rabah,[/QUOTE]It is said his patronymic name is abu abdullah some say abu abdulkareem some say abu abdurahman and some so say abu 'amr. he is also attributed to his mother's lineage bilal ibn hamamat. hamamat, his mother was an offspring of a quraishi from the tribe of jamha in mekka and slave mother from habesha. [QUOTE]a former slave from Ethiopia and companion of Muhammad.[/QUOTE]ibn ishaaq write that bilal was freed by abu bakr(1st caliph)after seeing him be tortured by his masters. he said that bilal was bought from the tribe of banu jamh of makkah and that he was the result of their offspring and their slave girls like the story of antar. some say he was mixed from mekka. ibn asakir said he was mixed from the market places between the shaam and madina. some say he is from a place in yemen [QUOTE]It was Bilal who became the first muezzin-- person who makes the adhan (call to prayer). [/QUOTE]he was also a treasurer for the prophet alahi salaam [QUOTE]In fact even today when muezzin make the adhan they try to do so in an Ethiopian accent.[/QUOTE]thats interesting seeing that bilal would have spoken arabic in a quraishi dialect because he would have been raised amongst those tribes. [QUOTE]But all in all, any black influence or prominence in Islam is not surprising since Arabia is right next to Africa with some blacks who are native to Arabia anyway[/QUOTE]there is not only the continent of africa through the strait called bab-ul-mandeb but there is the bab-ul-hormuz facing asia in which the area of ceylon and sri lanka is open for immigrants. there has been greek security guards stationed in a place called jabl-ul-malik i think and there were roman soldiers stationed somewere. in the bahrain area there is the presence of persians, even to this day there are blue-eyed bahrainis. [/qb][/QUOTE]What confuses me is that Arabs supposedly were racist to blacks to the point that Al-Jahiz had to write the "Glory of the Blacks over the Whites" to show how much blacks contirbuted to Islam. If the Arabs were racist ...why? I mean there was culture in Africa such as Ghana, Ethiopia, Egypt and so on...Plus many black Armies helped to spread Islam and a Black Nation protected the prophet. However I think the "racism" was aimed mainly at the Zanj or Eastern Blacks and Blacks south of the Civilized black Islamic kingdoms. [/QB][/QUOTE]
