Beyond Bilal: Black History in Islam shines a light on the profound yet often-forgotten role of Black Muslims in shaping Islamic civilisation. Drawing from Shaykh Mustafa Briggs’ acclaimed lecture series delivered at over 50 leading universities worldwide, including Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge, the book journeys through the great African empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, the reign of Black Muslim rulers in Asia, and the enduring influence of Africans across the Arab world and the Americas. Through vivid accounts of warriors, saints, poets, and scholars, Shaykh Mustafa reveals how Black Muslims enriched global culture and Islamic thought far beyond the story of Bilal ibn Rabah. The launch will feature a fireside chat and book signing with the author, offering fresh insights into a legacy that continues to inspire.
