The message of Islam is for the entire human race.
According to Islam, Allah is the God of the entire world and Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon him) is a messenger for the whole of mankind.
According to Islam, all men are equal, whatever be their color, language, race
or nationality. Islam addresses itself to the conscience of humanity and
banishes all false barriers of race, status and wealth. There can be no denying
the fact that such barriers have always existed, and do exist even today in this
so-called enlightened age. Islam, however, removes all these impediments and
proclaims the idea of the whole of humanity being one family of God.
Islam is international in its outlook and approach. It does not admit barriers
and distinctions based on color, clan, blood or territory such as were prevalent
before the advent of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). These are
rampant in different forms, even in this modern age.
Islam is a way of life that transcends race and ethnicity. The Glorious Qur’an
repeatedly reminds us of our common origin: (O mankind! We created you from a
single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that
ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most
honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And
God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
(Al-Hujrat: 13)
The eradication of race consciousness is one of the outstanding moral
achievements of Islam. In the contemporary world there is, as it happens, a
crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue. It is conceivable that
the spirit of Islam might be the timely reinforcement, which would decide this
issue in favor of tolerance and peace, the historian A.J. Toynbee wrote in his
book Civilization on Trial.
Islam unites the entire human race under one banner. To a world torn by national
rivalries and feuds, it presents a message of life and hope, and of a glorious
future
