#el-hajj Malik el-shabazz

[ayeolaomolara]

Today is the anniversary of the assasination of our revolutionary African brother el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, also known as Malcom X. Swipe to see some quotes of his that are my guiding light.

My politics and the politics of so many abolitionists are primarily informed by Malcom X’s legacy, his timeless wisdom and unwavering commitment to securing human rights for oppressed people globally. His vision of an Africa, united with the Black diaspora is a dream I hold.

As the western empire crumbles under the weight of its contradictions, it can be easy to despair and wait to be swallowed up in the rot. But the injustices we are witnessing are only one aspect of reality. Even in the 1960s, Malcom X refused to give into thoughts of hopelessness. He was too attuned to the global community to succumb. He felt confident justice would be realized because he looked to the people the imperial media tries to erase. The communities that are exploited in order for the western world to thrive are rising up and recognizing their power and divine rights.

‘But when you find those of us who have been following the nationalistic thinking that prevails in Harlem, we don��t think of ourselves as a minority, because we don’t think of ourselves just within the context of the American stage or the American scene, in which we would be a minority. We think of things worldly, or as the world is; we think of our part in the world, and we look upon ourselves not as a dark minority on the white American stage, but rather we look upon ourselves as a part of the dark majority who now prevail on the world stage. And when you think like this automatically, when you realize you are part of the majority, you approach your problem as if odds are on your side rather than odds are against you.” -Malcom X 1965

I wish he could see the way our people are continuing to build solidarity and meaningful power against imperialism and racism. May his memory continue to be a flame that ignites our fight for justice and liberation.

In remembrance of his legacy I’m sharing a portrait of him that I illustrated and pages focused on Malcom X from my Pan African Revolutionaries zine. The zine is available as a free pdf on my site and also includes portraits and quotes from Angela Davis, Assata Shakur and Thomas Sankara 🐉

Melanin Heroes: Black History Month Introduction 2025

Honoring the Legacy of Malcolm X | Malik El-Hajj Shabazz Throughout Black History Month, we honor the legacies of Melanin Heroes—those who stood on the frontlines of justice, faith, and revolution. We begin with none other than Malcolm X, a man who lived many lives yet remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth, justice, and righteousness. From Malcolm Little to Detroit Red, from Malcolm X to Malik El-Hajj Shabazz, his evolution was a testament to the transformative power of faith and knowledge. A voice for the voiceless, Malcolm X was a fearless advocate against white supremacy, a defender of the oppressed, and ultimately, a bridge between Black liberation and Islam. His journey—from Harlem’s street corners to Makkah—etched his name into the hearts of social justice warriors, revolutionaries, and Muslims worldwide. Malcolm’s pilgrimage to Mecca expanded his vision, emphasizing the universal brotherhood of Islam. His transformation from a man filled with justified rage to one who embraced global unity mirrors the journey of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in striving for justice while maintaining faith in Allah’s decree.  Torah (Tawrat): “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” — Proverbs 31:8-9 Gospel (Injeel): “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6 Qur’an: “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” — Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:8) The Mission Continues Malcolm X’s life teaches us that knowledge, faith, and action are the keys to liberation. As we honor 28 Melanin Heroes, let us embrace his legacy—not just in words but in deeds. Let’s stand for justice, seek knowledge, and never compromise our principles. #MelaninHeroes #BlackHistoryMonth #MalcolmX #MalikElHajjShabazz #Justice #Islam #DreamsAreTangibleGoals
