‫و كان عبد ﷲ بن عباس ادلم ضخما وال ابي طالب اشرف الخلق و‬ ‫ھم سود و ادم و دلم‬ ‘The ten sons of Abd el Mottalib the grandfather of Mohammed were all black and strong. Amir ibn al Tufayl said that the Kaba was well guarded when he saw them on black camels circumventing it. Ibn Abbas was black and very tall. Those of Abu Talib's family, who are the most noble of men, are black (suwd), Very dark skinned (Adam) and very dark skinned and tall (Dulum).’ With Arabia receiving hundreds and thousands of these religious and economic migrants it soon became apparent that the original Dark/Black skinned kinky haired Arabs would become the minority after several generations. This would be similar to what has happened/is taking place in some European cities like London where mass immigration over the past half century from the West Indies, South East Asia and from all over Africa has rendered the original white skinned Anglo-Saxon Londoners a minority in the majority of London’s four regions. It is also said that 50% of the African Caribbean men who marry do so with non-Black women further increasing the number those children of mixed race/ethnicity. In Arabia the same occurrence of mass immigration took place only it was the other way around. The Black Arabs were also taking many fair skinned women as either wives or slaves. Thus producing many mixed race offspring (hijan) who would then reproduce amongst themselves to produce even lighter skinned offspring who would then claim an Arab origin. Many people ask me: If the original Arabs were dark as you say, why is it that most Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula today are not dark like the original Arabs were? How did they become lighter and have straight hair? Here's one example of how it happened:
