Racism

Racism has long existed throughout human history. The document tells the story of Bilal, a black slave in early Islam who was tormented and abused because of his conversion to Islam, until the Prophet Muhammad intervened to help him. It then describes a modern example where a woman prejudged a black man as rude based on his appearance and closed an elevator door on him, only to later learn he had sacrificed his place in an expensive college for her daughter. The document aims to show how racism can negatively impact individuals and society, and discusses the need to overcome prejudices of appearance, color, and race.

Racism to Me…

Racism is a habit that most humans possess. It is basically prejudging


people it is caused by appearance, colour, race, and more. This can
lead to disasters. But first before I can tell you that story I need to tell
you this story.
Racism didn’t start in Africa oh no it has been here ever since prophet
Muhammed PBUH roamed the earth. This is the story of Bilal . Bilal
was a black slave who was tormented by his master ever since he
changed religion to Islam. He was tied to the ground with heavy
boulders on his stomach and dragged around with his hands tied with
people calling him names and throwing food at him. Could you
believe this was all because of him changing his religion to Islam.
Luckily Prophet Muhammed PBUH was there to help them first Abu
Baqer bought him off his owner and then our prophet gave him the
job of saying athan because of his melodious voice. Of course there
were some people who still despised him but prophet Muhammed
PBUH was there to help him stop it.
Now that I told you that story I can tell you this one on how people
when being racism effected them. There was this women who saw a
black man who she thought was rude and terrible by the way he
looked. So when she was taking an elevator ride she closed the door
on him and said “maybe you should take the next elevator”. Later that
day that man gave up his place in a very expensive collage and gave it
to that women’s daughter when the women found out she felt terrible
and apologised she felt like she learned a valuable lesson.
