People Of The Book: Barbados S5E8

Barbados carries more than palm trees and beaches it carries whispers of Islam buried under centuries of chains and silence. This episode uncovers the forgotten history of African Muslims who were enslaved on the island, forced to hide their faith while their voices and books were stripped away. Yet even under the lash, they whispered Qur’an, they remembered Allah, and their faith was written with angels’ ink.

From the debated voyages of Khashkhash ibn Saeed in 889 AD, to the arrival of Bashart Ali Dewan in 1910, to the thriving mosques of today the story of Islam in Barbados is one of erasure and endurance, silence and survival, struggle and victory.

This is not just history it is a reminder that Allah is the best Historian, that no prayer is ever forgotten, and that the light of Islam has always reached further than the world admits. Barbados does not begin with silence. Barbados begins with faith.
