salam and hello, welcome to my first ever video essay! In this video, I analyse the experiences of Black Muslim women through an intersectional framework (race, gender and religion). I speak about the erasure of Black Muslim women, the scrutiny and scapegoating, the all-consuming media tropes, institutionalised racism, refugees and many more.

This was such an amazing video on an experience that is barely talked about and needs to be. Our intersecting struggle hits us from all directions and I like how you narrowed that down between the different structures of oppression we come from that being black, Muslim and female. I can’t wait to see the other content you will make Insha’Allah

@@heirofthehorn (America's) deuteronomy 28 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt (Bondage), out of the land of slavery. Then the LORD will make you return to Egypt (Bondage) by Ships, over a route (America's) I said to you that you would never see again A foreign nation (America's) you have never heard about. A nation (America's) unknown to you or your ancestors. A nation against you from far away, (America's) from the ends of the earth, like an eagle (America's) swooping down. A nation (America's) whose language you shall not understand. A fierce and heartless nation (America's) that shows no respect for the old and no pity for the young. Will scatter you among all the nations from one end of the earth to the other. And you shall become a horror, a proverb, and a byword (N-Word) among all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away. A people that you do not know (America's) will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you. The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. The sights you see will drive you mad They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you. The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation (America's) unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood (Cross) and (Kabaa) stone. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.” But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions." Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Cushites unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?) In Zephaniah 3:10, the prophet proclaims: From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings God is speaking of gathering His lost sheep back to Him. Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia - which is East Africa - lies West Africa. Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Isaiah 42:22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. DICTIONARY He·brew /ˈhēbro͞o/. The Igbo people (English :also spelled Ibo and formerly also Iboe, Ebo, Eboe, Eboans ,[Heebo]; natively Ṇ́dị́ Ìgbò The Igbo people are an ethnic group native to the present-day south-central and southeastern Nigeria. There has been much speculation about the origins of the Igbo people, as it is unknown how exactly the group came to form. The word for Hebrew used in the Bible is עברי (pronounced "Ivri"), Côte d'Ivoire ("Cote d' Ivri" ) The coast of the Hebrews . Eri In Genesis 46:16 Eri (עֵרי "watchful") is the son of Gad. He was the progenitor of the Erites. (Numbers 26:16) Aguleri, meaning "Agulu of Eri", is a town in southeastern Nigeria. It is a major cradle of Igbo civilization, and the first settlement of Eri (Eri-aka) was in Aguleri. Its Ezeora dynasty, which has produced 34 kings to date, is one of the oldest in eastern Nigeria. The Tribe of Dan (Hebrew: דָּן‎), meaning, "Judge", was one of the tribes of Israel, according to the Torah. They were allocated a coastal portion of land when the people of Israel entered the Promised Land Dan people The Dan are a Mande ethnic group from northwestern Ivory (Ivri) Coast and neighboring Liberia. There are approximately 700,000 members of the group and their largest settlement is Man, Ivory (Ivri) Coast. Neighboring peoples include the Krahn, Kpelle and Mano. They are officially known as Yacouba (or Yakouba) in Ivory (Ivri)Coast. Yacouba” a corruption of the Hebrew “Yacob” in English known as “Jacob”? Due to the Assyrian captivity and exile of the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel, as well as the scattering of Israel after the revolt at Masada, as well as the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. it is believed many Danites ventured into Africa, settling in what is now known as the Sudan (SuDAN) and Ghana, also call GaDangme, meaning “People of Gad and Dan.” Ancient Ghana was referred to as Wagandu. Dan is also believed to have settled in Dahomey or Dan Homey, which being translated means, “Belly of Dan” and is now known as the Benin Republic and Togo. As a result of such scattering it is believes some of Dan possibly mingled or merged with the Igbo’s of Gad and become the sect of Igbo who reveres and later began to worship pythons. Some scholars links this to the prophesied paganization of exiled Israel as recorded in Deut. 28 as well as Jacobs prophetic blessing linking Dan to a serpent (Gen. 49:17). Genesis 36:27 The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and (Akan). The Akan (/ˈækæn/) are a meta-ethnicity living in the countries of present-day Ghana and Ivory Coast. Akan culture can also be found in the Americas, where a number of their descendants were taken as captives. Roughly ten percent of all slave ships that embarked from the Gold Coast contained Akan people. Ezekiel 16:3 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. The term Amorites is used in the Bible to refer to certain highland mountaineers who inhabited the land of Canaan, described in Genesis 10:16 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. Heth (Bible) Heth is, according to Genesis 10:15, the second son of Canaan, who is son of Ham, son of Noah. Heth is the ancestor of the Hittites, second of the twelve Canaanite nations descended from his sons, who lived near Hebron (Genesis 23:3,7). Yah may refer to: Jah, shortened form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God. Kum ba yah" ("Come by Here") is an African American spiritual of disputed origin, but known to be sung in the Gullah culture of the islands off South Carolina and Georgia, with ties to enslaved West Africans. praise the Lord Hallelujah, also spelled alleluia, Hebrew liturgical expression meaning “praise ye Yah” (“praise the Lord”). It appears in the Hebrew Bible in several psalms, usually at the beginning or end of the psalm or in both places. Ouidah historically also called Whydah , Juda, Juida by the French and Ajudá by the Portuguese, formally the Kingdom of Whydah (so named for the Whydah Bird of Paradise), is a city on the coast of the Republic of Benin. It served as a major outlet for the transatlantic slave trade. Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, Ouidah was the most important embarkation point for slaves in the region of West Africa known to outsiders as the Slave Coast.

Banu (بنو) mean the plural "The sons of The Bani River is the principal tributary of the Niger River in Mali. The Bani River has three main tributaries: the Baoulé that rises near Odienné in Côte d'Ivoire and passes just south of Bougouni, the Bagoé River Bag'oi (Βαγοϊv), one of the Israelitish family heads, whose "sons" (to the number of 2066) returned from the exile (1 Esdras 5:14); evidently the BIGVAI SEE BIGVAI (q.v.) of the Hebrews text (Ezr 2:14). Volta-Bani War The Volta-Bani War was an anti-colonial rebellion which took place in French West Africa (specifically, the areas of modern Burkina Faso and Mali) between 1915 and 1917. It was a war between an indigenous African force drawn from a heterogeneous coalition of local peoples (Hebrews) who rose against the French Army. The word for Hebrew used in the Bible is עברי (pronounced "Ivri"), Côte d'Ivoire ("Cote d' Ivri" ) The coast of the Hebrews . Nehemiah 10-13 10 Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah 13 Hodijah,[ Bani, Beninu] Benin The city of Ouidah (Judah) is on the coast of Benin (formerly Dahomey). In 1926, there was a large Hebrew community of black Jews in Benin, West Africa. They had a central temple and a Pentateuch written in Hebrew. In their temple are found many laws engraved on tablets, which are attached to the temple walls. They had a high priest, with a large number of priestly families, whose members walked from house to house rendering educational and religious instructions to each family of the community. On 21 June, 1962, a shipment consisting of 400 tons of rice and sugar was loaded aboard an Israeli freighter at Haifa as a gift from Israel to the famine-stricken people of Dahomey, at that time. The African republic’s Ambassador Jean Baptiste Mockey, attended a ceremony aboard the ship, formally accepting the gift on behalf of his government. (Zanj Rebellion) Begun near the city of Basra in present-day southern Iraq and led by one Ali ibn Muhammad, the insurrection involved enslaved Bantu [Banu]-speaking people (Zanj) who had originally been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East, principally to drain the region's salt marshes. The leader of the revolt was a Ali ibn Muhammad, an Islamic scholar of uncertain background. Little is known about his family or early life due to a scarcity of information and conflicting accounts. According to one version, his paternal grandfather was descended from the Abd al-Qays and his paternal grandmother was a Sindhi slave woman, while his mother, a free woman, was a member of the Banu Asad ibn The Banu Qurayza (Arabic: بنو قريظة‎, Hebrew: בני קוריט'ה‎; alternate spellings include Quraiza, Qurayzah, Quraytha, and the archaic Koreiza) were a Jewish tribe which lived in northern Arabia. Jewish tribes reportedly arrived in Hijaz in the wake of the Jewish-Roman wars and introduced agriculture, putting them in a culturally, economically and politically dominant position. However, in the 5th century, the Banu Aws and the Banu Khazraj, two Arab tribes that had arrived from Yemen, gained dominance. When these two tribes became embroiled in conflict with each other, the Jewish tribes, now clients or allies of the Arabs, fought on different sides, the Qurayza siding with the Aws. Battle of the Trench In 622, the Islamic prophet Muhammad arrived at Yathrib from Mecca and reportedly established a pact between the conflicting parties. While the city found itself at war with Muhammad's native Meccan tribe of the Quraysh, tensions between the growing numbers of Muslims and the Jewish communities mounted. In 627, when the Quraysh and their allies besieged the city in the Battle of the Trench, the Qurayza initially tried to remain neutral but eventually entered into negotiations with the besieging army, violating the pact they had agreed to years earlier. Subsequently, the tribe was charged with treason and besieged by the Muslims commanded by Muhammad.The Banu Qurayza eventually surrendered and their men were beheaded. After the Meccans' withdrawal, Muhammad then led his forces against the Banu Qurayza neighborhood. According to Ibn Ishaq, he had been asked to do so by the angel Gabriel. The Banu Qurayza retreated into their stronghold and endured the siege for 25 days. As their morale waned, Ka'b ibn Asad suggested three alternative ways out of their predicament: embrace Islam; kill their own children and women, then rush out for a charge to either win or die; or make a surprise attack on the Sabbath. The Banu Qurayza accepted none of these alternatives. Instead they asked to confer with Abu Lubaba, one of their allies from the Aws. According to Ibn Ishaq, Abu Lubaba felt pity for the women and children of the tribe who were crying and when asked whether the Qurayza should surrender to Muhammad, advised them to do so. However he also "made a sign with his hand toward his throat, indicating that [their fate] at the hands of the Prophet would be slaughter". The next morning, the Banu Qurayza surrendered and the Muslims seized their stronghold and their stores. The men - Ibn Ishaq numbers between 400 and 900 - were bound and placed under the custody of one Muhammad ibn Maslamah, who had killed Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, while the women and children - numbering about 1,000 - were placed under Abdullah ibn Sallam, a former rabbi who had converted to Islam. According to Stillman, Muhammad chose Sa'd so as not to pronounce the judgment himself, after the precedents he had set with the Banu Qaynuqa and the Banu Nadir: "Sa`d took the hint and condemned the adult males to death and the hapless women and children to slavery." It is also reported that one woman, who had thrown a millstone from the battlements during the siege and killed one of the Muslim besiegers, was also beheaded along with the men. Ibn Asakir writes in his History of Damascus that the Banu Kilab, a clan of Arab clients of the Banu Qurayza, were killed alongside the Jewish tribe. Three boys of the clan of Hadl, who had been with Qurayza in the strongholds, slipped out before the surrender and converted to Islam. The son of one of them, Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, gained distinction as a scholar. One or two other men also escaped. The spoils of battle, including the enslaved women and children of the tribe, were divided up among the Islamic warriors that had participated in the siege and among the emigrees from Mecca (who had hitherto depended on the help of the Muslims native to Medina. Mohammad collected one-fifth of the booty, which was then redistributed to the Muslims in need, as was customary. As part of his share of the spoils, Muhammad selected one of the women, Rayhana, for himself and took her as part of his booty. Muhammad offered to free and marry her and according to some sources she accepted his proposal. She is said to have later become a Muslim. Some of the women and children of the Banu Qurayza who were enslaved by the Muslims were later bought by Jews, in particular the Banu Nadir. Peterson argues that this is because the Nadir felt responsible for the Qurayza's fate due to the role of their chieftain in the events Queen of the Desert: The Amazing Story of “Jewish Khaleesi” A ruthless steadfast warrior, as well as a merciful leader who liberated thousands of slaves - this was Dihya al Kahina, a Jewish Berber Northern African woman. Dihya al Kahina lived in Northern Africa at the end of the 7th century. In Muslim sources she is described as “dark skinned with lots of hair and huge eyes”. Fascinated by her exotic image, historian Nahum Slouschz described her as “fair as a horse, strong as a wrestler, a true desert woman, healthy and fast on her feet, an excellent rider and a shooter who never misses”, and studied her character throughout Northern Africa. Slouschz asserted that Dihya meant “Jewess” and that “al Kahina” referred to the family of Kohanim (priests). Born to a Jewish-Moorish-Berber tribe from today’s Mauritania, Dihya headed the resistance to the Muslim invaders of the Ummaya dynasty, who conquered the Maghreb towards the west during the 7th and 8th centuries. Her adventures are dated 687-697, when Hassan ben Naaman, military commander of the Khalif Abd Al Malech, was heading towards Carthage in order to occupy it. He had 45,000 soldiers under his command and was prepared to almost every scenario - except that of an army of Berber tribes headed by a woman battling against him. Dihya offered peace but the Muslim commander would not accept, unless she acknowledged the authority of the Kahllif and adopted Islam, an ultimatum she rejected scornfully. According to Slouschz, she was descendent of a priestly family deported from Judea by Pharaoh Necho in the days of King Yoshiahu. She did not intend to enter the family history as a leader who caused yet another deportation of the dynasty, and certainly did not intend to convert to Islam. “I shall die in the religion I was born to”, she shortly answered the commander’s demands, and went on forging her steel sword. Quran, 45:16 We gave the children of Isrā’īl the book and wisdom and the prophet-hood, and provided them with good things, and preferred them above all (people of) the world. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KS_BDqgZSZc.html
