Do you ever struggle to find stories of Muslim role models who reflect the true diversity of our Ummah? Many of us grew up thinking Islamic history was almost entirely Arab, leaving a gap in our children’s—and our own—sense of identity.
Illuminating the Darkness is a celebration of the African contribution. Written by British-Nigerian author Habeeb Akande, you will meet the characters that illuminated the darkness—men and women from Africa who were scholars, leaders, and heroes. Akande also uses his academic background to explore what the Qur’an and hadith really say about race and slavery.
This is an inspiring and informative book that will expand your knowledge of Islamic history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this book only for people of African descent?
Not at all. It is essential reading for every Muslim who wants to understand the true, universal nature of Islam and how its carriers come from all parts of the globe.
Does it cover modern issues or just ancient history?
It covers both. It looks at the early historical sources but applies those lessons to how we view race and racism in our communities today.
Is this suitable for teenagers?
It is ideal for teenagers. It provides the intellectual evidence they need to navigate modern conversations about identity and race from an Islamic perspective.
