Racism

All mankind is from Adam and Eve.

Writing during his visit to Mecca in 1964, Malcolm X said: “America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem.” Why did he say that? Consider the Farewell Sermon of Prophet Muhammad [saw]. *Racial equality* is featured: “O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God, perform your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj if you have the means. All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white; except by piety and good action.”

Quoted from The Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad [saw]

No one is born racist, racism is learned. If we want to root out this evil, we must also look inwards, in our own houses. We must honestly look at what racist ideas and stereotypes we are teaching our own kids, directly or indirectly.

The Holy Quran says that all humans are equal in the sight of Allah. and that the only thing that can distinguish them in His sight is their piety and worship.

Human beings, We created you all from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you.
— Quran 49:13

All human beings, according to Islam, have been created by one and the same God, and for this reason they belong to one great brotherhood. All being descendants of the same progenitor, Adam and Eve, they should naturally be each other’s well-wishers. They must willingly come to one another’s assistance, like members of the same large family.
