Islam forbidden racism/tribalism/nationalism etc. O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All Aware. Quran (49:13) O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul (Adam) and created from it its partner (Eve) and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. Quran (4:01) And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves partners that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge. Quran (30:21-22) Whoever works righteousness — whether male or female — while he (or she) is a true believer verily, to him We will give a good life, and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do. Quran(16:97) And whosoever believes in Allah and performs righteous good deeds, He will admit him into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allah has indeed granted for him an excellent provision. Quran (65:11) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever calls towards unsuriyyah (racism/tribalism/nationalism etc) is not from amongst us, he who fights on (the basis of) unsuriyyah is not from amongst us, and he who dies upon unsuriyyah is not from amongst us. (Abu Dawood) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; also a white person has no superiority over black person nor does a black person have any superiority over white person except by piety and good action. Mankind is from Aadam (Peace be on him) and Aadam is from soil. (Sharh al-Tahhaawiyyah) Once Abu Dharr and Bilaal had a dispute, but in a moment of anger Abu Dharr said: O son of a black woman! So Bilaal complained to the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said to Abu Abu Dharr: O Abu Dharr, did you slander his mother? You are a man in whom there is still some jaahiliyyah (ignorance)! Abu Dahrr began to cry profusely and asked the Prophet to ask for forgiveness for him. Abu Dahrr left the masjid with tears streaming from his eyes and went to Bilaal. When he saw Bilaal he placed his cheek on the ground and said: I will not get up until you place your foot over my face. You are the noble and I am the lowly! Bilaal began to cry: he approached Abu Dharr, stood him up and then kissed him on that very cheek. Then they hugged each other and cried. The Companions (May pleased with them) of the Messenger (peace be upon him) included Muslim men of all tribes, races and colours. Their hearts were filled with Tawheed and they were brought together by their faith and piety – such as Abu Bakr from Quraysh, ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib from Bani Haashim, Bilaal the Ethiopian, Suhayb the Roman, Salmaan the Persian, rich men like ‘Uthmaan and poor men like ‘Ammaar, people of means and poor people like Ahl al-Suffah, and others.
