We don't use their validation system

You know, when I think about the way the prophet Muhammad really, really elevated the merits of people regardless of their skin color and how that is the prophetic practice. That is Koranic decolonization. We don't need to call out Luqman being black to feel validated as black people. We don't need to, you know, stop at Bilal and say, look, the black Sahabi. Like, we don't need to point out Sahih hadith of Musa being brown skinned and Aisa being red skinned and Adam in Arabic meaning jet black.

Or or, like, we don't need that to feel validated because the only reason why we would even use that vernacular is because we're adopting the rhetoric of the people who made this a problem in the first place. You know? Avoiding the discussion isn't the answer, but parroting it back reinforces the colonized mindset.
