Is Islam a Religion of the Black Man as suggested by Elijah Muhammad? Or is it a slave religion originated by white Arabs and imposed on Black People? This question is addressed with scholarship rather than rhetoric. Internationally known scholar of Islam Dr. Wesley Muhammad brings together a tremendous amount of scholarship and demonstrates that: Ancient Black Arabia, which is the matrix of Islam, is a root of civilization and an integral component of the Global African Civilization paradigm. Islam—the veneration of Allah as the supreme God—predated the Arabian prophet Muhammad by millennia. The oldest records of this ancient veneration of Allah indicate that Blacks or Africans in Arabia were the originators of this veneration, and much more.
