Asalamu alaikum Anya
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a raisin were made your chief.
I read the hadith my self I can see what u mean, I think is how we interpreted the word rather then its meaning. And am not trying to translate the word of the Prophet (bpuh) but what I think it means is that the Muslims should obey their rulers no matter what race the are.
Brother alhamdulilah I am black and I didn’t find offensive about the word Raisin Head and as u said some of us will find it offensive and some will not. and maybe am one of them, [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]
I personally don’t take much notice of racism in Islamic or non-Islamic way, because the verses of the Quran and the hadiths tells us that Allah (SWT) does not look at your appearances or wealth but looks at your actions"
Here are some verse of the Quran and some hadithes.
"O Mankind, we created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you in to tribes and nations so that you may know each other (not that you despise each other). Verily, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is he who is most righteous of you." (Al-Quran, Chapter 49, Verse 13)
O people, Remember that your Lord is one. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a black has no superiority over white, nor a white has any superiority over black, except by piety and good action (Taqwa). Indeed the best among you is the one with the best character (Taqwa). Listen to me. Did I convey this to you properly? People responded, Yes. O messenger of Allah, The Prophet then said, then each one of you who is there must convey this to everyone not present.
This means righteousness, sincerity, modesty is what all that is needed to gain honour and become loved in the sight of Allah (S.T), no matter if you are black, white, red or brown, everyone is equal. One is not superior to another.
