Ch 6: Racism

Racism:

There is no difference between people in Islam for the human beings are all equal and the favorites to Allah Almighty are the most pious ones. This is clearly expounded in Islam to demarcate the relationships between the people and to define the status of nobility that is correlated to only piety instead of the race, color, and wealth.

{{ 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 Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqûn (pious)]. Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware.}},( Holly Qur’an 49:13).

The practice of equity in Islam is quite clear during the pilgrimage in Mecca,

  "(The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca) was an exhilarating experience to see people belonging to different colours, races and nationalities, kings,heads of states and ordinary men from very poor countries all clad in two simple white sheets praying to God without any sense of either pride or inferiority. It was a practical manifestation of the concept of equally in Islam."Cassius Clay, now Muhammed Ali.  
 
It goes without saying that there is no problem in Islam about the white and Black people. The Muslims do not treat people well or badly because of their colors for they are all created by one God: Allah Almighty.

Ch 1: The Creator

Chapter One The Creator. The name Allah (God) in Islam is the personal name of God. The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in four verses of Surah Al- Ikhlaas in the Holy Qur'an : {{1. Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh , (the) One. 2. " Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). 3. "He begetteth not not , nor is He begotten; 4 . " And there is none Like unto Him.}} (Holy Qur'an 112: 1-4). To Muslims, this four-line definition of Almighty God serves as the touchstone of the study of God. Any candidate to divinity must be subjected to this ‘acid test' and since the attributes of The Creator given in this chapter are unique, false gods and pretenders to divinity can be easily dismissed using these verses.  i ) The first criterion is «"Say, He is Allah, one and only". » Can there be more than one god? This verse tells us that The Creator is the ...

Why was this religion named Islam?

Why was this religion named Islam? Adherents of various religions all over the ‎ world have named their religions, either with the name of a man or a particular ‎ race like Christianity, which was named after Jesus Christ; and Buddhism was ‎ named after its founder Buddha; and Zoroastrianism was named after its founder ‎ and flag banner, Zoroaster.

Its name indicates a special characteristic that the meaning of Islam ‎ denotes. It is evident in this name that no man has any role in bringing this ‎ religion into existence and that it is not peculiar with any nation to the ‎ exclusion of others. Its only goal is to make all people of the earth have ‎ characteristics of Islam...
