Centering Black Narrative: Ahl al-Bayt, Blackness & Africa

by Ahmad Mubarak, Dawud Walid

"Blackness" is a term which has been understood differently across locations and eras. As a sequel to Centering Black Black Muslim Nobles Among the Early Pious Muslims, the coauthors of this book continue to posit "Blackness" as a historical reality within the family and descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. The coauthors discuss the spiritual rank of this special family and its descendants within normative Islam while also building upon their previous work in hopes of moving Muslims in the West beyond Eurocentric racial classifications when reading and understanding Islamic history and personalities who have been described within.
