Islam,
Slavery
and the African
Abdullah
Hakim Quick Abdullah Hakim
Quick, an African-American convert to Islam, sheds light on the
fascinating topic of Islam and the African people. From the beginning,
Africa has been a continent of various religions and beliefs
including monotheism. Therefore Islam, the root definition of
which is "submission to the one God", was not a new
concept in Africa and Prophet Muhammad (P) simply came to confirm
this. Tackling the controversial topic of slavery, the speaker
looks at the root of "racial" slavery while making
a survey of what slavery was like during the time of the Prophet
(P). What was, or is, the role of slavery in Islam? And is it
possible that the concept of slavery has changed with time? This
lecture is full of important historical information relevant
for people of all races and religions. Other topics discussed:
stereotyping, the separation of Asia and Africa, Columbus, evidence
of Muslims resisting slavery in the Americas, non-Muslim scholars
not using primary sources, the modern day economic-spiritual-psychological
"slavery", and the connections between Muslim slaves
in Haiti and Africa. (Duration: 1 hour, 24 min)
Imam Quick was born
in the U.S. and accepted Islam in 1970. He pursued his studies
at the Islamic University of Madinah where he received an ijaza
from the College of Da'wah and Islamic Sciences.
