    Yaqeen Institute is proud to name Dr. Yusef Salaam as our 2021 Muhammad Ali Confident Muslim of the Year. The award was presented at the 2021 MAS ICNA Convention in Chicago, IL.
    Confident Muslim by Yaqeen Institute is a platform which highlights everyday Muslims making a positive impact in society, inspired by their faith.
    Each year, Yaqeen will award the best presenter the Muhammad Ali Confident Muslim award. Muhammad Ali represents an individual who combined conviction with contribution and touched the world. We hope to inspire a generation of confident Muslims to follow in those footsteps.

    I remember watching this brother on 60 min years ago when he and the other 4 brothers were put on trial and eventually convicted for rape which was a crock of bullcrap. I remember when even at that time as a teen, he was giving dawah then and this was when we were teenagers at the time back in the early 90s and I didn't take my Shahada until 1995. I'm so glad to see this brother and the 4 others get exonerated. I'm also glad to see him dedicating his life to the mustaqeem. May Allah SWT continue to bless and reward Brother Yusuf in the cause in Al-Islam.

It breaks my heart that this is a fact nonetheless it’s true. It’s spoken of in the Black Muslim Community & IDK if its spoken of elsewhere. It really needs to be addressed Malik Shabazz addressed it May Allah (swt) be pleased with him. It’s so heartbreaking we have enough to contend with as Muslims in America & having to combat this Dunya full of Jinns. We should not feel unwanted or unloved by one’s brothers & sisters.

      Assalam Aleykum my sister in Islam. I am amazed when you said “I will never stop giving salam to any Muslim I see” MashAllah keep it up and always tell yourself my reward is from Allah.Even if those people don’t respond back to your salam, angels will do at their place . We don’t talk about it a lot but when we are born muslim we take it for granted and miss a lot of opportunities to better ourselves. The most important thing is Islam is a his religion that doesn’t care about being born muslim or convert to Islam because on Allah Eyes the most honorable of us is the one who has Taqwa (48:13). We really should make a lot effort to behave ourselves and try our best to revive the sunna of our beloved prophet ( sallah lahu Aleyhi wa Salam). May Allah make us steadfast ,grant us patience and soften our hearts to see only beauty on others. Ameen 🤲🏾💕

      Salam alaykoom sister , I'm from west Africa and islam has been the religion of most communities for centuries, I'm so happy to see a community of African Americans being Muslim may Allah increase your ranks among us and grant you the best in this world and the next. Unfortunately Muslim or not black people just don't have respect anywhere, religious Muslim folks will at least approach you kindly in the mosque or if you wear hijab but muslims who don't base affinity on common values will judge you on the premise of you being black and all the negative stereotypes imaginable and the irony is that as Muslims globally we are not understood but demeaning us make them feel good. It is a difficult experience and I believe Allah will reward us and deal with them. I traveled in mamy Muslim lands and my experience has been more positive than negative but as Muslims we should not tolerate injustices and blatant discrimination Allah wants us to be an example of decency, good manners and behaviors wherever we are. If ever have the opportunity visit Mali , senegal, guinée or Gambia you'll love it inshAllah .
