Forbiddance Of Racism In Islam

Quranic View about Racism

“And among His wonders is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. For in this, behold, there are messages indeed for all who are possessed of innate knowledge!” (Quran 30:22).

“Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky? With it, We then bring out produce of various colors. And in the mountains are tracts white and red, of various shades of color, and black intense in hue. And so amongst men, and crawling creatures, and cattle – they are of various colors. Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge. For Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving” (Quran 35:27-28).

“Oh, men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female, and have made you into nations and tribes so that you might come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware” (Quran 49:13).

“And He, it is Who has brought you all into being out of one living entity, and has appointed for each of you a time-limit on earth, and a resting-place after death. Clearly, indeed, We have spelled out these messages unto people who can grasp the truth!” (Quran 6:98).

“And among His wonders is this: He creates you out of the dust, and then, behold! You become human beings ranging far and wide!” (Quran 30:20).

One of the key qualities of the Message of Islam is that it trains individuals to look for instruction and to throw away all despicable demonstrations. Racial amazingness – in the entirety of its structures for all individuals stand equivalent before God Almighty. Prevalence, as per Islam, isn’t accomplished by one’s shading, race, or ethnic inception. 

Despite what might be expected, it is just accomplished through devotion. The more one is God-dreading, the more cherished they are to God. 

Different SYSTEMS

A Muslim stands firm to battle all types of persecution, shameless conduct, and obliviousness. Racial strains dependent on skin shading, race, and sex scatter in Islam. These social illnesses were regular in the pre-Islamic Makkan culture, as they are today in numerous pieces of the world. 

Prior to the coming of Islam, individuals loved icons produced using stone or wood. It was very regular for an individual to oppress his kindred sibling in-mankind in difficult plans to debilitate him monetarily and genuinely. The Prophet s explained that nobody was better than another; all were equivalent before God. The Prophet s stated: 

 “O individuals! Undoubtedly your God is one, your dad is one, and there is no prevalence over an Arab over a non-Arab or to a non-Arab over an Arab. A red cleaned individual isn’t better than a dark cleaned individual, nor is a dark cleaned individual better than a red cleaned individual.” (Ahmed) 

THE PROPHET S CLARIFIED THAT NO ONE WAS SUPERIOR TO ANOTHER; ALL WERE EQUAL BEFORE GOD. 

The Jews and Christians before the appearance of Islam considered themselves to be the picked group of God. 

Old GREECE AND ROME

In Ancient Greece and Rome, the nobles trusted themselves to be made from a substance, not at all like that of the remainder of creation, who they called “savages”. Aristotle talked about the Barbarians (This term alludes to the accompanying implications, “uncultured”, “unseemly” or “speaker of an unknown dialect”) in a scornful way, saying, “The nature of a brute and a slave is one and the equivalent (Republic By Aristotle Volume 1)”. 

He likewise stated:

 “The lower creatures can’t capture a rule; they comply with their senses. Nature might want to recognize the collections of freemen and slaves, making the one in number for servile work, the other upstanding, and albeit futile for such administrations, helpful for political life in human expressions of war and harmony. Furthermore, certainly, if men contrasted from each other in the minor types of their bodies as much as the statues of the divine beings do from men, all would recognize that the sub-par class ought to be captives of the unrivaled.” (Book 1, part V of ‘The Politics’) 

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS

The Jews and Christians – before the coming of Islam – considered themselves to be the picked group of God. They trusted themselves to be uncommon. They gave the name “ger toshav” (Literally it implies a Gentile who is an “inhabitant outsider” living under Judaic law) to any other person, regardless of whether they were skeptics or general non-adherents. They guaranteed that they were the main ones who had the right to be served, so they misused different countries. Allah SWT explains this in the Quran saying: 

“Also, among the People of the Scripture is he who, in the event that you endow him with an incredible sum [of wealth], he will return it to you. What’s more, among them is he who, on the off chance that you endow him with a [single] silver coin, he won’t return it to you except if you are continually remaining over him [demanding it]. That is on the grounds that they state, ‘There is no fault upon us concerning the unlearned.’ (The early Jews didn’t think of it as a wrongdoing to pick up the high ground over a gentile or an agnostic) And they talk lies about Allah y while they know [it].”(Quran, 3:75) 

In the editorial of the Quran by the researcher Ibn Kathir, he expresses: “What drove them to dismiss the reality of the situation was that they asserted, ‘There is no transgression upon us from expending the abundance of the uninformed, who were the Arabs. God has made it legal for us (to take their property)'”. 

Some of the early monotheists deprecated every single other country and saw them as being of a lesser class. They stated that all among mankind were their slaves. Allah y explains to us their inclination and clarifies while all mankind is equivalent. He says: 

“Be that as it may, the Jews and the Christians state, ‘We are the offspring of Allah y and His dearest.’ Say, ‘At that point for what reason does He rebuff you for your wrongdoings?’ Rather, you are people from among those He has made. He excuses whom He wills, and He rebuffs whom He wills. Also, to Allah y has a place the domain of the sky and the earth and whatever is among them, and to Him is the [final] goal.” (Quran, 5:18)

What Prophet SAW said about Racism

“There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab. Neither is the white superior over the black nor is the black superior over the white — except by piety.”

Abu Dharr reported: The Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “Behold! Verily, you have no virtue over one with white skin or black skin, except by favor of righteousness.” (Source: Musnad Aḥmad 20885)

Islam denounces racism at any level. This the ideology that makes Islam very much different from other religions of the world.
