    African Imams & Racism at Mosque (Ft Mohammed Ali)

    Racism affects the lives of millions around the world and the Muslim community is no different. Allah (SWT) states in the noble Quran that He “created us into nations and tribes so that we may know one another”. As Muslims, the verse itself (49:13) should be sufficient enough guidance on how to get along with others. In this episode our co-hosts Ahmed Abbas & Sayed Ali Radhawi are joined by special guest Br Mohammed Ali discussing racism in the Shia community, at times of marriage and the ethnicity of some of our holy Imams (as).
