Fikrah: Race Islam very categorically rejects racial discrimination. It promotes the feeling of brotherhood and equality among its followers. God clearly says, “O Mankind! We have created you from one male and one female, and then We made you into different races and tribes so that you may know (and easily recognize) each other.” (Quran: chp. 49, verse 13). Therefore, no one can claim any superiority over others based on racial or tribal differences. A person is to be judged by his character, not by his color or race. God continues, “Surely the most honorable of you in Gods sight is the person who is most upright in character among you.” (Quran; chp. 49, verse 13).
