ok here goes, b4 any1 bites my head off, i neva thought that this cud b cn as racist untill my sister pointed it out to me... in my opinion i'm only championing the underdog...

i am usualy hapier wen i hear of black pple reverting to islam n i justify it by telling her that .....

well black pple everywhere in this world are the poorest, the looked down upon, the down trodden etc etc.. there4 if they find islam and ultimately(inshaallah) get a portion of jannah then surely its only fair afterall why shud one race hav it all in the dunya and hav jannah as well?

so wat dyu guys think? does this make me a racist?:girl3: :girl3:

salaam alikom sister,

First, I wanted to say it took me time to translate your
"Egyptian hieroglyphic writing" to understand what you typed :)

As for your subject, we should hope and pray goodness for every one and that Islam reach in to every one's heart, Allah created us and he knows who will be poor, and who will be rich it dosnt matter if they accept Islam they are our brother and sister in Islam and we are responsible about them.

the looked down upon, the down trodden etc etc

Hmm I dont think so because I have a lot of black Muslim friends and no one look down upon them, you could say the same thing about Asian who are in Gulf area, they go through the same thing...

I think you should pray and hope All human being know the Islam to save them self from Hell fire.

wa salaam alikom

assalamu alaikum oegt,

No, I don't think that this is a racist statement. It is very kind of you to look towards the wellbeing of the poorest omongst us. However, we should be happy whenever ANYONE becomes muslim.

Salaam,

You are not a racist...I think you have been bitten by the spring bug.

I will answer you seriously. First, be careful not to generalize. We can not use hyperbole. Not all balcks are the poorest, the lowliest. Please allow me to state the role of the super sports stars. The NBA players together make enough money to support a small country. Yes, there are very few of them, but they spend money on trinkets and not on helping others. That is the reason they are paid so well. The big business owners know the money will be spent on useless things.
In the United States, there is a rising middle class. They need to help the community too. The words of Malcolm X have been forgotten. The middle class feeds the system that allowed them to become middle class. This happens to all people; it is the choice they make.

The reason a person turns to Allah has nothing to do with a person's wealth. The reason a person turns to Allah has nothing to do with the color of a persons skin. The reason a person turns to Allah is because they have answered the call to Allah.

We can not persume to know who all the inhabitants of janna will be. We leave that to Allah. We have to ask for His forgiveness. Only Allah knows the contents of the hearts of His slaves. Leave it be.

Son, pray that all humans turn to Allah. It is not the condition that we are in that matters..what matters is no matter what condition we are in we acknowledge There is not God..but ALLAH.
