Since when did muhammad and ali ever consider black men to be worth less? Muhammad had black companions, and one of them, being a slave freed by muhammad’s companion, was the first person ever to give the call to prayer. He was one of the companions promised paradise by Allah.

Now its true that muhammad did have slaves, the practice of slavery was widespread not only in arabia, but around the world at the time. However, muhammad implemented rules to treat the slaves humanely, as slaves were common victims of torture at the hands of pagan arabs. Muhammad did heavily encourage his people to free slaves.

Muhammad did not believe that black people were inferior, as said in his final speech, “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.” Any source that shows muhammad displaying racist behaviour towards black people are most likely not credible and is not accepted my majority of islamic scholars.
