Ā
Illuminating the Darkness is about the status of blacks and North Africans in Islam.
Ā
The book is divided into two sections:
Ā
Part I of the book explores the concept of race, 'blackness', slavery, interracial marriage and racism in Islam in the light of the Qur'an, Hadith and early historical sources.
Ā
Part II of the book consists of a compilation of short biographies of noble black and North African Muslim men and women in Islamic history including Prophets, Companions of the Prophet ļ·ŗ and more recent historical figures.
Ā
The reader is given a fascinating glimpse into the lives of truly noble characters, from luminous scholars to leaders of whole African civilisations.
Ā
The reader needs no other discrimination while reading this book than the one the author strives to make clear throughout: The Din of Islam is not only free of racism but is utterly opposed to it as the most aberrant form of jahiliyyah (ignorance).
