No one is born racist. ISLAM kills racism from the root.

Racism is one of the worst forms of discrimination in our world today, and is strongly condemned in ISLAM. Sadly, it is still very common and continues to be a problem.

In Islam, racism is not allowed.

Islam came with a universal concept of brotherhood. Islam rejects all artificial and man-made marks of distinction. No one can claim any superiority over the other based on race, skin color, language or wealth.Below statements from the Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) show the high regard of humanity irrespective of skin color or race. All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white – except by piety and good action.

Wherever Islam put down roots, Muslims grew to believe that discriminatory exclusion based on race was fundamentally alien to the spirit of their faith. This is understandable, given that there is almost a logical connection between affirming the oneness of God and upholding the equality of human beings before Him. We read, for example, in Islam’s sacred book the verbatim work of God, the Qur’an:

“O Humankind! We have created you from male and female and have made you into peoples (shu‘ub) and tribes (qaba’il) that you may know one another; truly, the noblest (akram) among you before God are the most pious (atqa) among yourselves; indeed, is God the All-knowing, the All-seeing.” ►(Chapter 49:Verse 13)

1.This message is not just for Muslims only because God is addressing all of humanity. While Muslims are one brotherhood, this is part of a larger brotherhood of humanity.

2.God is telling us that He has created us. Therefore He knows the best about us.

3.He says that He created us from one man and one woman meaning then that we are all the same.

4,It also means that all human beings are created through the same process, not in a manner in which some are created with a better mechanism than others.

5.God is the One who made human beings into different groups and people.

6.These differences are not wrong, rather a sign from God ("And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colors. Verily, in that are indeed signs for those who know" [Quran 30:22]).

7.Note that no word equivalent to race is used in this ayah or any other verse of the Quran.

8.Islam, however, limits the purpose of these distinctions to differentiation and knowing each other. This is not meant to be a source of beating each other down with an attitude of ‘my group is better than your group' or false pride as is the case with tribalism, nationalism, colonialism, and racism.

9.The only source of preference or greatness among human beings is not on a national or group level, but it is at the individual level.

10.One individual who is (higher in Taqwa), more conscious of his Creator and is staying away from the bad and doing the good is better, no matter what nation, country or caste he is part of.
Individual piety is the only thing that makes a person better and greater than the other one.

11.However, the only criterion of preference, Taqwa, is not measurable by human beings. Indeed God is the One Who knows and is aware of everything so we should leave even this criterion to God to decide instead of human beings judging each other.

May Allah the Almighty Creator reward all those who share this. LIKE + SHARE
