The book is divided into two parts. Part I explores the concept of race, 'blackness', slavery, interracial marriage, and racism in Islam in the light of the Qur'an, Hadith, and early historical sources. Part II consists of a compilation of short biographies of noble black and North African Muslim men and women in Islamic history, including Prophets, Companions of the Prophet (SAAS), and more recent historical figures. The reader is given a fascinating glimpse into the lives of truly noble characters, from luminous scholars to leaders of African civilizations. The book emphasizes that Islam is free of racism and opposes it as a form of jahiliyyah (ignorance).
