In today's episode we review how African-Americans had become disenfranchised with society and looked for alternatives after the Emancipation-Proclamation, whereby they gained their freedom.

We also look at the efforts of Hazrat Mufti Sadiq(May Allah be pleased with him) spreading the true teachings of Islam Ahmadiyyat to America through the guidance of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah (Peace be upon Him).

Join us as we look at the 10 approaches Hazrat Mufti Sadiq (May Allah be pleased with him) used while preaching to African-Americans.

Join us as we begin by reviewing what the trans-Atlantic slave trade was and how Muslim slaves were affected. We will review specific stories of exceptional individuals from this phenomenon. These include Abdul Rahman Ibrahim and Ayub ibn Solomon Dijalllo.

How was the life of Muslim slaves in America and how they retained their faith under chattel slavery? We will also explore the narrative of Muslims in America before Columbus was said to have discovered America. As well as discuss how Islamic teachings did a far better job of dismantling the slave system, as opposed to the Emancipation Proclamation of chattel slavery in America, which then led to a period of re-construction.

In this episode, we will discuss the importance of religion to the African continent and how Christianity would soon fail the African people. As well as the role of black companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the early connections of Islam to Africa. This includes reviewing the stories of Luqman, Hazrat Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him) and especially Najashi. Finally, we will review how Islam spread to North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Saharan Africa and West Africa.

This episode is an introduction to the series. Primarily it covers the importance of the African-American journey to Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. This journey started with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then as Islam progressed and spread to Africa it became indigenous to the Africans. Then finally we review how Africans came to America in the slave trade.
