Pioneers of Islam in America: The Legacy of African American Muslims 

The Immigrant Communities have to be reminded of the struggle of the Indigenous Black Community, because some hold the same position as white nationalist/Supremacy

Yasir Qadhi one of my favourite preacher in this decade Alhumdulillah💚

The number of Africans enslaved that were Muslims 30-40% according to Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick.

Asalaam Alaikum! I didn't realize that you did a lecture on this. I descend from a matriarch who was a Muslim taken from Casamance Senegal, at age 12 and enslaved in South Carolina. Her name was Asia. On some documents, there is a surname spelled "daod," although I still don't know if it was spelled correctly or if it was even her surname. she may have been one of the children of Cheikhs whose children were sold into slavery about that time. Our family evolved into a ministerial family that was strictly pentecostal. I reverted to Islam in March of 2021, after reconnecting with some of my family members there. And yes, we still have a lot of distinctive ways in my family.

Well said. African-Americans truly set the foundation of Islam in America. I am myself a white revert to Islam, but still it was the Autobiography of Malcolm X that led me to start researching Islam, and Alhamdulilah, I accepted it.

MUHAMMAD ALI is one of the greatest modern day muslims.. The impact he had not only on muslims but the uplifting of humanity shall never be forgotten a true hero

Keep going guys to tell the truth about Islam through pure Muslims souls. Evidently, real Muslims bearing the message of Mohammed peace and blessing be upon him are always positive contributors to their communities.

Thank you sir nice lecture

Thank you Sheikh for this

Aslm to all the brothers and sisters around the world, I just love the way brother Yasir brings the message across from America to South Africa and the rest of the world,may Allah bless him with the best in this world and the best in the year after insha'Allah Ameen

Just a few corrections. ELIJAH Muhammad was from Sandersville GA.

"I had to obey them"😭😭😭 Subhanallah I never knew heard of such a thing My mil is from the dep south and she went through a lot just to go to school. My heart is broken for all the ppl that struggle through these injustices May God forgive us and protect us 🤲 We are much more the same than different I pray our Lord keeps you well during this time. May He have covid-19 pass over you. Ameen🤲

We are all in this together. Alhumduillah

La ilaaha ill Allah! Alhumduillah for Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad for bringing Islam and a Messenger amongst our own black people to our own black Americans here in America.

I consider myself a better Muslim, because of African Americans Muslims , like Malcolm x and Muhammad Ali

Ma shaa Allah 🤲🏽

Alhamdulillah! I am grateful to have come to Al Islam/ Sunni Islam through the Nation of Islam! I thank Allah ta’ala for the amazing journey to Him. Abigail studied and worshipped under both the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and IMam Warith Deen Muhammad. I thank Allah Subhana wa ta’ala for every step He ta’ala allowed me to take to being a True Believer. May bless everyone who helped pave the way for Al Islam as was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) peace be upon him! Alhamdulillah! Shaik Yasir, thank you for sharing this historical summary of how Islam came to North America.Subhanallah! Allah U Akbar! To be a first generation Sunni Muslim-having three generations of Muslims developing after my generation makes me quite humble and proud. May we all earn Al Firdaus. Ameen! May Allah Subhana wa ta’ala bless all of the believers who paved the way to Allah Subhana wa ta’ala for all of us be blessed with Jannah Al Firdaus! May Allah Subhana wa ta’ala bless the Prophet Muhammad with prayers and peace, May Allah bless the family of the s Prophet and his companions with peace. May we be of those who are rightly guided. Ameen, Ameen, Ameen! May Allah bless every Muslim from the days of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) until this moment with Al Firdaus! Ameen!

Be ummah,O Muslims.Be Ummah.

Thank you. Praise Allah ta'ala. Finally...my whole story told. My bigger fight is with my own "black/Negro" community who defy our Islam. Our own family members turn their backs on us. I've had a family member curse allah....astaghirfullah...

Very well put brother Qadhi

👍👍

Excellent lecture!!!!!

Big misinformation regarding Malcolm telling Warithudeen about Al-Islam. It was Wallace (Warithudeen) the told Malcolm and everybody else about it.

What is the name of the brothers sitting with the Dr? Does anyone know please

Will we get to see the other 2 speakers

Thank you Sheikh Qadhi for speaking on this MashaAllah. I hope those who have heard this listen inshaAllah

Kareem was never a member of the NOI, he immediately became a member of the Hanafi Muslim community.

Were the other guys gonna speak?

The last part... Loud and clear.. Black civil movement is meant for everyone

May Allah reward your effort to enlighten the immigrant community concerning the African-American Muslim's contribution to the spread of Islam in America. You could have taken it one step further by recommending the reading of Who Speaks For The Muslims In America because a problem can not be solved until the acknowledgement that a problem exists and that takes more than a forty minute talk. I also think that two corrections are in order, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was never a member of the Nation of Islam and Warith Deen Muhammad became a Sunni Muslim before Malcolm X (Malik Shabazz) did. May Allah bless, guide and protect the Believers.

Who are the two African American brothers next to him ?

Go Dr. Qadhi! So true - you were either white or you were not according to segregation - simple.

The 13th.... How is the title written down there....?

I thought he was in self isolation

It’s amazing how people let other people tell our history, he should go to the right people to get it right, we know our history we know the history of WD Fard all of what he is saying he go out of a book

Until EVERYONE born here and immigrate to this country, before you open your mouth to utter anything, FIRMLY FAMALIARIZE YOURSELVES WITH TH HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE in this country for my history here IS AMERICAN HISTORY! Wallahi. May Allah have mercy and protect us all. As Salaam Alakium. 13th speaks to the plight of the Black Man and Women that persists even to this day. Watch it, conduct further research will avail you a greater understanding of and deeper appreciation for Black people in general and in regards to the methods used to bring Islam to my people here in North America. May Allah be pleased with all of those who sought to bring people into the deen.

The Holy Quran itself states, that it is a guide... it provides a balm for everyone’s conditions. W.F. Muhammad played baseball with the members of the NOI...

Bevy good alocona

SALAAMUALEYKUM SHEIKH! you said Documentary call 13 at Netflix...I can not find it. Please what is title name

The Nation of Islam never had one million followers. At best 100,000 (today, it is just a few as people discover authentic Islam), and Kareem Abdul Jabbar never belonged to the NOI.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was NEVER in the Nation of Islam!!

And let's GET THIS STRAIGHT....Malcolm desired to reconnect with the Messenger and the Nation of Islam. This presenter, if he was earnest in not intentionly side-slap the Nation, has not done a thorough, indepth research regarding the Nation. If he did, he would have spoken better about it. "Small following" comments, whether realized or not comes off as aggrogant dismissive narrative.

MashaAllah. I have watched almost every single Hollywood true story movies based of African Americans. Their struggle is beyond comprehension. Next: I am going to watch 13th (Amendment).

Another correction: Kareem Abdul Jabbar was NEVER a member of the Nation of Islam

What he fail to mention that the Americas was own by the Moroccan , the Americas is part of the Al Maghreb ( the farthest west ) where the Sun sets . There were Moors who were the first inhabitants of the Americas , As a matter of fact the continents , North , Central and South America were all connected together , to take it a little further , the Americas is actually Northwest Africa . It was the Great earthquake which caused the Great Atlantic Ocean to form . The continental shifted , civilizations went underwater like the city of Atlantis ad other places . Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary that he seen Islamic Mosque on the hill of Cuba . All of the Americas were Moslems , Islam spreaded across the Atlantic Ocean . North America is place of the Al Maghreb , part of the Moorish Emprie , the land of the Moors ! Let's be real clear about this subject .

MST has way more than 100 80 year old followers lol

Why did you become a Muslim? What evidence did you see that made you think it was the right religion? x Muslims

Arab Muslims in America discriminate and look down on Black Muslims in America. Islam has no color! Can we talk about that. Thanks Allah for all his Messengers and Warners. Peace be upon them All.

Your lectures are always informative and an eye opener. May Allah continue to increase you in Iman... Jazakallahu Khairan

Mis information

It’s quite amazing that people hear this type of nonsense filled with nothing but contradictions. Like a “silver winged horse flying to another city” No wonder after saying multiple times he does not believe in conspiracy theories somehow thinks the movie 13th is relevant.

Min. Farrakhan just announced that Elijah Muhammad is (not was) the exalted Christ and Farrakhan is the Mahdi. I noticed you did not call Farrakhan a liar...did you?
