The Whitening of God: The Reclamation of the Black Divine

by Sharif Muhammad

Overview

The Whitening of God

For centuries, religious and historical narratives have been reshaped, distorted, and repackaged to serve cultural and political agendas. The Whitening of God is a bold and uncompromising exploration of how theology, scripture, and historical figures have been systematically altered to fit Eurocentric ideologies-stripping them of their original African roots.

Sharif Muhammad challenges long-standing misconceptions, uncovering the truth behind religious figures, sacred texts, and the racialized interpretations that have influenced global belief systems. Drawing from the Bible, Quran, historical records, and cultural analysis, he exposes how colonialism and white supremacy have rewritten spiritual history and offers a path toward reclaiming a more authentic understanding of God, faith, and identity.

This book is not just an academic or theological critique-it is a call to consciousness, urging readers to question inherited beliefs, embrace historical truth, and rediscover spirituality beyond the distortions of race and power. The Whitening of God is a must-read for those seeking to dismantle falsehoods and reconnect with a deeper, unfiltered reality of the divine.
