SUMMARY:Islam & Racism | Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans
DESCRIPTION:One day\, in Mecca\, the Prophet Muhammad dropped a bombshell on his followers: He told them that all people are created equal. \nIslam’s anti-racist message from the 7th century still resonates in the Muslim world’s color lines today. \nWith racial tension and violence roiling contemporary America\, the message of the Prophet ﷺ is creates a special moral and ethical mandate for American Muslims to support our country’s anti-racism movement. \nJoin Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans during February’s Black History Month as we explore anti-blackness and other forms of the scourge of racism on notions of color and ethnicity in the Muslim World beyond apologetics and orientalism. \nUstadh Ubaydullah will also give the first Khutbah (sermon) from 1:30 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. on Friday\, Feb. 11. \n6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (Maghrib to Isha) | Friday\, February 11 | MCC Conference Room (join in-person (masks & social distancing) or watch from home at https://mcceastbay.org/live \n\n– More discussions of race: https://mcceastbay.org/race\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nUstadh Ubaydullah Evans is ALIM’s first Scholar-in-Residence. He converted to Islam while in high school. Upon conversion\, Ustadh Ubaydullah began studying some of the foundational books of Islam under the private tutelage of local scholars while simultaneously pursuing a degree in journalism from Columbia. \nSince then he has studied at Chicagoland’s Institute of Islamic Education (IIE)\, in Tarim\, Yemen\, and Al-Azhar University in Cairo\, Egypt\, where he is the first African-American to graduate from its Shari’a program. \nUstadh Ubaydullah also instructs with the Ta’leef Collective and the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) at times. Follow him on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/UbaydullahEvans \nFrom ISPU: \nFor Black History Month\, resources on Black Muslim experiences\nBlack Muslim history is defined by centuries of pioneering presence\, resilience\, and struggle for racial\, religious\, and social justice. Black Muslims represent one-third of the American Muslim community\, lead in rooting and growing Islam in America\, and have borne the brunt of racial injustice and racism throughout our country’s history.\n \nJoin us in our ongoing effort to highlight Black Muslim experiences through research and actionable resources\, and share with your networks our Black Muslim Experiences toolkit\, which includes:\n \n\nResources on Black Muslim youth\nResearch and resources on Muslim experiences of racism\nBooks on Black Muslims in the United States\nData on demographics\, faith\, social justice\, and more\n\nBLACK MUSLIM EXPERIENCES TOOLKIT
