"Blackness and Islam" by Dawud Walid explores the intersection of race, identity, and faith in Islam, shedding light on the contributions of Black Muslims and the African presence in early Islam. Highlighting figures like Bilal ibn Rabah (RA) and Umm Ayman (RA), Walid examines Islam’s stance on racial justice and equality while addressing historical and modern anti-Black racism. A thought-provoking read, this book challenges misconceptions and calls for upholding Islam’s values of justice, equity, and brotherhood, making it essential for Muslims, scholars, and anyone interested in faith and race.
