Let\u2019s stand against racism for real.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nWe’re very sorry but it feels as though many people aren’t really sincere about their support of black lives, and we’re not just talking about big brands and celebrities. It’s time for Muslims to take a look at themselves.\n\nIt\u2019s so easy to quote Hadith of the Prophet \ufdfa against racism and narrate stories of Bilal, yet how many of us truly stand against racism in our own communities? Would we truly accept a black person to be a part of our Masjid board? How many of us would accept a Black suitor for our own children as husbands and wives as the Prophet \ufdfa recommended on many occasions?\n<\/span>\n\nAnd let us remember that the foremost primary reason why we must stand against racism, is by virtue of our belief in Allah.<\/span>\n\nIt is through our belief in Allah, that we know that all human beings were created equally. It is through our belief in Allah that we know that the only distinction amongst people is through piety.<\/span>\n\nAnd this is the exact realisation that Malcolm X experienced after he visited Makkah, and proclaimed that Islam had the potential to wipe out racism from America itself. Why? Because it is through our belief in Allah that we can look at one another as equal servants of God, void of any superiority.<\/span>\n\nNow, this is obviously not to say that Muslims can\u2019t be racists, because that definitely isn\u2019t the case, but I\u2019m just saying, it\u2019s time we Muslims took a good look at ourselves. If we truly are Muslims, if we truly are believers of God, let us end racism. Let us fight against racism whether it\u2019s trending or it\u2019s unpopular, whether it\u2019s committed by those around us or whether it\u2019s committed by Muslims themselves.<\/span>\n\nLet\u2019s end racism together. But this time, for real.<\/span>\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
