What if the seeds of American emancipation were planted centuries before the Civil War by a 7th-century orphan who freed his enslaved surrogate mother? In the premiere episode of Wise Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Khan connects Prophet Muhammad's early abolition movement to the 10% of enslaved Africans who were Muslim – and whose descendants now represent 40% of American Muslims. Joined by educator Quran Shakir, this episode reveals how enslaved Muslim women braided escape routes into their daughters' hair, hid okra seeds in their scalps, and transformed quilts into freedom maps. From Bilal's call to prayer atop the Kaaba to Clara Muhammad's fight that legalized homeschooling in America, discover the spiritual resistance that shaped a nation. This isn't just history – it's a blueprint for modern liberation that connects ancient Islamic teachings to contemporary struggles for human dignity. Prepare to see Juneteenth, and your own faith journey, in an entirely new light.
