- The topic of the Khutba (sermon), in keeping with the month of February and Black History month, is the role of belief in the Unity of G-D and the Elevation of Man as seen though the eyes of a Black Muslim and that belief's impact on his society and today's world. The story is of Bilal ibn Rabah who through Faith went from humble beginnings as a slave to become one of the most revered Shahabbs (Companions) of the Prophet Muhammad.

As Salamu Alaikum !!!
The uncle of the Prophet Abu Jahal was himself BLACK and couldn't be persecuting Bilal ibn Rabah because he was black. Bilal was persecuted because he rejected their false gods and declared publicity his faith in Allah ta'ala like most Abyssinians who believed in one God.
What do you mean that Bilal ibn Rabah was "the son of a black Abyssinian woman"? Indeed, he was; like most of the companions of the Prophet.
I fail to see why this was an insult to him when both Bilal and abu Dharr were black and Abyssinians.
What's the problem with you guys and that word "black and Abyssinian" when the Arabs during the time of the messenger of Allah took great pride in themselves being BLACK.
Do you know that Kadijah (may the peace and blessings of Allah ta'ala be upon her) the noble wife of the messenger and Waraka were Abyssinians?
Do you know that his mother was Abyssinian?
Do you know that his delivery nurse was Abyssinian?
Do you know that that the majority of his companions and the people who supported him in his mission and were most loyal to the noble messenger of Allah ta'ala were Abyssinians?
Do you know that when himself and his companions were persecuted by the Meccans, they were sent by the Prophet himself to seek refuge in Abyssinia?
Do you know that the most powerful country or the super power in Africa during the time of the prophet of Islam was Abyssinia? As a matter of fact, Abyssinia was Africa.
Do you know that the most learned among the people at the time of the messenger of Allah ta'ala may the peace and blessings of Allah ta'ala be upon him were Abyssinians.
Do you know that according to all scientific evidences that the first man originated from Abyssinia?
Do you know that most of the stories of the bible were played out and that most of the prophets of Allah ta'ala were from Abyssinia?
Do you know that..........?
You guys need to do more research on your topic before you go around giving Dawah or you will be misleading people.
...and you can tell your friend the smooth talker Omar Suliman (prophet Suleiman was Abyssinian), that Lukman mentioned in the Quran was not from Sudan, actually he was black and from Abyssinia.
Abu Dharr "Actualy pronounce Abu Zher" was an Arab from "Gefar" tribe so his nickname was "El Gefary"
Does all this really matter? Don't be like Christian who gives importance to race amd ethnicity when it comes to prophets and sahabas/saints. Allah only judges you based on ur imaan not on ur skin color or ethnicity.
