Black Africa was backwards and the pit of darkness
The Dark Ages were the lowest point in man’s history
Columbus discovered an America inhabited with uncivilized savages
History is often told from the perspective
of the conqueror:
Ancient maps depicting exaggerated sizes of the
European continent; stories told from a Euro-centric perspective;
significant chunks in timelines distorted or removed entirely to cover
up empowering truths.
The time is long overdue for the Muslim Ummah to reclaim
history.
The timely discovery of a shocking
untold story finally unravels

Islamic History
in Africa, Al-Andalus, and the Americas
Taught by world-renowned scholar
Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick
The world will never look the same as you uncover its secrets thought
to have long been lost.
Africa is a treasure cove embedded with scholarly tribes and ilm-powered
cities. Expand your knowledge on:
• The roots of Africa and its name
• Africa’s first encounter with Islam
• The role of Africans as Sahaba of Rasoolullah (salla Allahu
alayhi wassalam)
• The extensive advancements of Islamic scholarship as result
of African tribes and schools
• The importance and history of major cities like Timbuktu
and Qayrawaan
• Heroes of Africa who sought to it that Islam remains pure
upon the Quran and Sunnah
• The various movements and eras Africa witnessed among the
Muslims
“Timbuktu’s thousands of manuscripts
and its deep legacy destroy racist notions of Black inferiority and
educational backwardness. Timbuktu gives solid proof of a powerful
African past and an unbroken chain of African scholarship.”
Andalus (today’s Spain) bred heroes in the face of oppression
and became the epitome for advanced civilizations. While Europe was
left in the Dark Ages, the light was shining on Islam’s Golden
Age. Enrich your history with facts on:
• The fall of the tyrannical rule of the Visigoth
• The spread of justice and land reform under the light of
Islam
• Successful openings (futoohaat) of major cities in Spain
• Establishments of amazing complexes of palaces and gardens
like Madinat-az-Zahra
• Treatment of Christians and Jews under the Muslim rule
• Muslim advancements in language, arts, and sciences that
brought Europe out of the darkness
• The causes and lessons of the eminent fall of a 700-year
empire
“At its height around 1000 A.D., Cordoba had over 200,000
houses, 600 mosques, 900 public baths, 50 hospitals, and several large
markets that catered for all branches of trade and commerce, including
15,000 weavers! The streets were lit for 10 miles in any direction,
an innovation that took London and Paris 700 years to achieve!”
America’s history often starts with the discovery of Columbus;
yet little is told of the rich Islamic history of the Americas both
before and after the accidental arrival of Columbus. Enlighten yourself
with facts on:
• Muslim naval explorations into the Atlantic
• Ancient maps and atlases of the Americas accurately drawn
by Muslim cartographers
• Discovery of 8th Century artefacts and coins in the Caribbean
• Genealogical and linguistic evidences linking American natives
to Muslim Africans
• Role of Muslims in saving Islam in the hearts of slaves
• Role of Muslims in the resistance of slavery and return
to Africa
“One of the leading forces in the resistance to slavery
was the Muslim population who by the very nature of their faith were
independent and unwilling to submit to oppression.”

"When I was very young, little
kid in a Masjid in Winnipeg, the uncles gathered the youth together
for a lecture from this vising speaker from Toronto. I loved his lecture,
and I was so impressed that he was using names and terms that I, as
a kid, was familiar with. (come to think of it, that may be the first
time I was exposed to that style, it became my style years later).
It was sh.Abdullah Hakim Quick."
- Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef
