From slave to son - A system where #Racism was erased #BlackLivesMatter
Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) was a black slave before he embraced Islam
#Islam - the only #religion that turned #SLAVES of the society (pre-Islamic) to be referred as #SONS by their fellow muslims
The Prophet Mohammed (saws) took Zaid (a black slave) as his adopted son (later when the ruling came that one shall foster a child but not give him your name as adopted child for various reasons) and people would call Zaid as Zaid bin Mohammed (later with the command of Allah, he was called by his biological father’s name as Zaid bin Harithah)
It is one thing to ‘Talk Islam’ but another to ‘Live Islam’ and the Prophet of Islam was a walking Quran
Subhanallah, imagine someone who was considered a black slave in the society, the Prophet took him as his son defying all institutionalised racism, constitutional discrimination and class division of the society of his time.
Furthermore, Interestingly the only companion of the Prophet mentioned by name in the Quran is this Black slave Zaid bin Harithah!
Al Quran 33:37
..فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا.....
“But when ZAID had accomplished.......”
One could see, Islam came to challenge the corrupted and oppressive systems of the world and to turn them upside down with its absolute justice and equality. hence we should present Islam as a complete system and solution to the problems under all existing systems of governance
