The Life and Legacy of Malcolm X :: with Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah and Imam Zaid Shakir 

“His soul was purified through the struggle that he embraced”. Imam Zaid Shakir on Malcom X.

I love and respect Dr. Malcolm X. May Allah place him at the highest place of Paradise. Aameen.

I am Fulani and I am proud and honored to consider Malcolm as part of the Fulani tribe.

Malcolm X was a very faithful man.

Wow so this is the "white Muslim" that malcolm was describing in 1964. First time seeing one.

May Allah, Al-Malik Shabazz aka Malcolm X place at higher place in Jannah. Inshallah, Ameen.

Subahan Allah what a wonderful talk! May Allah bless Dr Umar & Imam Zaid continue to support and give success to the Ta'leef collective, ameen!

The Greatest Man ever born in the Land of the Noble Native Americans

I like that this wasn’t just another repeat of the same lecture we’ve heard a hundred times, and that the speakers actually came with real background knowledge of the subject.

Al-Hajj Malik Al-Shabazz my great ancestor. We’re from the same city, same community. I attend prayers at his Mosque Temple 16. As a Proud Fulani, Mandinka, Hausa, Sanhaja descendant I urge my brothers on the continent to reach out to your brothers in American ghettos, we badly need your Baraka, as were still suffering the effects of slavery and Jim Crow. If you’re ever in Lansing, MI my home town, reach out to the Walid Mahmoud Islamic center. Know that your brother is trying his best to get the city to acknowledge and respect Brother Malcolm’s hard work, his school The Academy Of Shabazz is being treated by the white government as just another public school in the hood, the building is literally falling apart, while our supposed Muslim “brothers” avoid the inner city all together, they’d rather build their mosque in the rich white community far away from our people... you can’t claim you love brother Malcolm when you don’t love his people. I.e. black Americans.

Thank you for this lecture because I am on a spiritual journey to help me and others to understand the creator of all life.

Salaam Alaykum. I'm still following Malcom's legacy. After watching the news in 1965, about a man who was assassinated, (physically), and had an "X" on the end of his name. I asked my mom, what that meant. She could not tell me. Fortunately, years earlier, my mom encouraged me to read. Allah blessed me with the journey to find out...I'm proud to say, I'm still searching at 67 years young Al Hamdullilah Rabbiyal Aameen.

so much Noor in these brothers

Dr Omar Faroq is a wonderful man, the most beautiful of speaker, i love you for the sake of Allah!

When the Nigerian Muslim Student Association gave Malcolm the name "Omowale", he came full circle. Omowale is Yoruba meaning "the son has returned home". He also has to be the most complex historical figure. You cannot draw a circle, put a dot in it and say, "This is Malcolm". There is so much to the man. Even today, I still learn more about the ancestor's life.

Malcome was a muslim, who loved his people the blacks of America no matter their beliefs. He was highly self educated man who was honest and untill the very end he never gave up his dream to make the world a better place for all. I think as Christians,Muslims,Buddhist, hindus, jews...we all need be first honest about the problems facing the world today then work together to end poverty,ignorance,violence and exploitation.

I must be from the same tribe because I love him so.

Very informative and truly inspiring. Enjoy watching just over 1 hour. Thanks!

Allah bless the whole Muslim umma

I hope you don't mind us re-uploading this video

Man, the scholars are aging and dying left and right. There needs to be more scholars and the knowledge need to be preserved in digital format.

He was the man of truth Abusulitly!!!!

Malcolm X was true Muslim in heart and I read his biography

May God forgive him and have mercy on his soul.

Alhamdulilah I'm a proud mandinka and proud Gambian 🇬🇲❤❤

There are so many Muslims sheik's I have seen that feeds the west wat they want to hear. May Allah guide all the Muslims and make us strong in our faith.

ASA from Charles Shabazz. Correction Brother Imam Zaid (35:00), the vanguard as you call it, better known as the FOI (Fruit Of Islam), was formed during the beginning of its foundation in 1930. What he did do was he innovated certain tactics.

Really, I don't know how much I love Malcolm x may Allah Grant him him paradise. MashAllah our sheikh jazakallah 💞

What an incredible man who has struggled through life and made himself an exemplary example. So much respect ❣️ to Hajj Malik Shabbaz . His word still stands true today after all these decades.

As Salaam Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak! I thank Allah for this video recording and I pray Allah bless all of those involved in this presentation. May Allah continue to bless Imam Zaid and Dr. Umar in all of their good works and may Allah bless El Hajj Malik Shabazz with firdaus (highness in the paradise). As many of you are, I am also touched very deeply by this presentation on the Life of Malcolm X. Malcolm touched and still touches us very deeply. Hearing and seeing Dr. Umar and Imam Zaid express what Malcolm means to them is priceless. Malcolm belonged to all of us. Through Malcolm countless lives were and are inspired. So many lessons can be learned from Malcolm’s life and so many lessons may be also learned from his death, his assassination. Allah gives life and death, we know that. And we know that none of us know when and where we will die. That knowledge is with Allah only. We accept that, mashallah. Allah knows best and Allah wants the best for us. Allah wants us to read His Book and Allah wants us to read His Creation and the signs in His Creation. To read and come to conclusions. Malcolm's life was a sign and so was his death. I believe the suggestion that Malcolm received from his close friend and associate, Wallace Mohammed (as he was known then) was the best advice that he could have been given. I believe this advice was consistent with the teachings of Al Islam and the Sunnah of Mohammed the Prophet (prayers and peace be on him). In this presentation, Dr. Umar mentioned that towards the end of Malcolm's life, Wallace Mohammed sent Malcolm a message to leave and go away. From what we know Malcolm was under a tremendous amount of duress. Years ago, I read a hadith that says ‘Allah forgives His Servant for what he does under duress’. That means duress is very serious and weighty. We can't imagine the degree of the duress that Malcolm was under at that time. As such, it is very likely that his decision making ability was impaired. Malcolm was a human being like the rest of us. We know what happens when we are under duress. We can’t think straight. We need to go somewhere and think. This happens to us regarding much smaller matters than what Malcolm had on him. His whole world had been turned upside down. And his life was in the crosshairs. In my humble opinion Malcolm needed to leave. Go somewhere for a couple of months or years. Regroup and build there and then come back stronger and more capable and equipped for victory. This idea is very to familiar to muslims. This is the message in the Hijrah. And this is also the literal message given to us by Mohammed the Prophet (PBUH). ‘The ink of the scholar is more precious than the blood of the martyr’. I believe Malcolm’s life did not have to end the way it did. Allah allowed it. Perhaps we are to study and get lessons from his death as we do from his life. Allah knows best. I pray Allah we have a most blessed Ramadan and a most blessed life. Again, I thank Allah for this presentation from Imam Zayd and Dr. Umar. May Allah continue to bless them in all their good works. May Allah bless us with good works and good intentions. Ameen.

How long shall they kill our prophets as we stand aside and look 👀 (bob Marley)

Alhamdulilah!

Very sensitive to remember Soldier Mujahid Malcolm.

One of the great travesties of history in America is that the majority of Black Americans follow Christianity, a religion imposed on black slaves by their white masters. Still Black Americans would use that religion to educate themselves finding an interpretation of the Bible that encouraged them to fight against slavery and racism this even though the Hebrew god authorized slavery. The Islamic religion also did not consider slavery an injustice although slavery in Islam was not limited to race and skin color. Islam made freeing individual slaves as a way to get forgiveness for sins but Muhammad never preached that slavery was an injustice or crime against humanity. The Arab slave trade enslaved between 12 and 15 million people most from Asia, Western and Southeast Africa. It was the colonial powers of the West that forced Muslim countries to suppress slavery. The Ottoman empire abolished slavery in 1924. In 1990 the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam declared that "no one has the right to enslave" another human being. Interestingly. Malcolm X made his pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia in 1964 and Saudi Arabia didn't abolish slavery until 1962, just 2 years earlier. Malcolm X before his assassination was truly an inspiration as a fearless advocate for universal human rights and freedom for all people regardless of race, religion, or gender. His personal religion may have been Muhammad's religion but his drive in life was universal human rights. I hope that more African Americans will free themselves from their Christian indoctrination while not becoming indoctrinated by another religious dogma, Islam. Had Malcolm X lived long enough, knowing how uncompromising he was about truth, I think he would have reached the same conclusion about Sunni Islam, as he did about Christianity and the Nation of Islam. Malcolm X was a human being in evolution. Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) was assassinated in February 21, 1965. Almost one year before on April 12, 1964 in a speech titled "Th Ballot or the Bullet" delivered at the King Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, Malcolm said the following..... "I'm still a Muslim. That is, my religion is still Islam. My religion is still Islam. I still credit Mr. Muhammad for what I know and what I am. He's the one who opened my eyes. At present I am the minister of the newly founded Muslim Mosque Incorporated, which has its offices in the Theresa Hotel right in the heart of Harlem, that's the black belt in New York City. And when we realize that Adam Clayton Powell, is a Christian minister, he has Abyssinian Baptist Church, but at the same time he's more famous for his political struggling. And Dr. King is a Christian minister from Atlanta Georgia, or in Atlanta Georgia, but he's become more famous for being involved in the civil rights struggle. There's another in New York, Rev. Galamison, I don't know if you've heard of him out here, he's a Christian minister from Brooklyn, but has become famous for his fight against the segregated school system in Brooklyn. Rev. Cleage, right here, is a Christian minister, here in Detroit, he's head of the Freedom Now Party. All of these are Christian ministers…all of these are Christian ministers but they don't come to us as Christian ministers, they come to us as fighters in some other category." "I am a Muslim minister. The same as they are Christian ministers, I'm a Muslim minister. And I don't believe in fighting today on any one front, but on all fronts. In fact, I'm a Black Nationalist freedom fighter. Islam is my religion but I believe my religion is my personal business. It governs my personal life, my personal morals. And my religious philosophy is personal between me and the God in whom I believe, just as the religious philosophy of these others is between them and the God in whom they believe. And this is best this way. Were we to come out here discussing religion, we'd have too many differences from the out start and we could never get together." "So today, though Islam is my religious philosophy, my political, economic and social philosophy is black nationalism. You and I as I say, if we bring up religion, we'll have differences, we'll have arguments, and we'll never be able to get together. But if we keep our religion at home, keep our religion in the closet, keep our religion between ourselves and our God, but when we come out here we have a fight that's common to all of us against a enemy who is common to all of us."

As a Fulani I am very grateful that the Wali of Allah Malcom X was from our lineage. I am humbled and indebted to his legacy.

Maybe there is something that who ever assassinated him knew that we didn't know is that he was from a noble family and that is why they killed his grandson as well. If you notice, his daughters didn't have many heirs especially male heirs.

masha allah

Malcolm once said if he was not in accordance with the Book (Quran), pull his coat tail.

mashaalah this is amazing may Allah have mercy on malcom x

رحم اللٌه Malcom x و بارك في الدٌعاة المثقٌفين في ديار الغرب...آمين.. May, 2020

RP ALJEA MUHAMAD AND HIS STUDENT MALCOM X

There is something SubhaanAllah beautiful about the people in the crowd. Alhamdulillah, this is a model and I hope to carry it forward, insha’Allah

Malcolm did not right the autobiography

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The FOI or fruit of Islam was not started by Malcolm X. It was started by its founder, Fard Muhammad. Secondly, Malcolm x loved the Nation of Islam and Elijah Muhammad. He did not want to leave. He tried several times to return to NOI after he was silenced by Elijah Muhammad. I think we missed a big part of the story when dont talk about Malcolm x love relationships he had for Elijah Muhammad and the NOI. He was in love with both of them. Imagine trying to tell my life story Musa without his brother. I think these two scholars gave excellent presentations, but why not invite members from the NOI of those days who were actually there. They are dying quickly. But there are a few of them still around. I find they arent often sought after.

R.I.P

Fulani are lost tribe or close relative from Somalia. But I feel really sorry for Fulani seens they converted to Christianity. Subxnlah. I'm crying listening to this. I love you malcom x

Nice one we are all conet

All praise is due to Allah for the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad who taught and trained Brother Malcolm X. It was due to the efforts and guidance of Allah, via the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, not Malcolm that the nation progressed. There were several students who helped to build the Nation of Islam, notabaly Minister Louis Farrakhan. Credit goes to Allah.

"Am Gambian, a mandinko".

whos this guy?

Who is this guy speaking

ASA Where did this guy come from? Did he know Malcolm? Did he see Malcolm ? Where did he get his so-called info from?

I cannot follow a religion. I will not follow a religion. I believe living on moral principals and treating people how I would like to be treated. When someone wears this garb and says someone is the best I automatically believe he is rehashing someones elses beliefs. Figure it out for yourself. Stop religion. I would like to think religion doesn't succeed over common sense.
