I have often wondered
why in 2015, I still encounter "Muslims" who are baffled by the
notion of indigenous American Muslims, specifically persons of color. As I have chosen educator as my occupation I
am going to try to rectify that situation and collect and share resources so
that haqq (truth) wins out over excuses.
You need not trust me, only your brain and the fitrah (primordial human nature, instinct), which will lead you to
Allah (swt)’s undeniable truth. That is the sole purpose of this blog. May
Allah protect me from bringing forth untruth and make me successful in bringing
truth to light.
What is the Shiite
ultra-minority you ask? For me it is
what I see in the mirror, the African-descended (encompasses African
Americans), multi-ethnic, indigenous (Five or more generations) Shiite of
America.
I am the granddaughter
of a Klansman and a Native American and Caucasian woman. I am also the
granddaughter of African Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United
States of America. I am a convert to Islam, but I believe I was born Muslim. I am a lover of the Ahlul bayt and a seeker
of truth.
