Does Islam promote racism? Check out the following narrations...?

(O You men! surely We have created you of a male father and a female mother, and made you nations and tribes so that you may know one another; surely the most honourable privileged of you with Allah is the most pious God-fearing among you..) 49:13.

Abu Abdullah (a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: In whoever's heart is asabiyyah (prejudice in any of its forms such as tribalism, racism, nationalism) even to the extent of a mustard seed, Allah will raise him on the Day of Resurrection with the Arabs of the Jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era).

Al-Kafi, Volume 2, Chapter of Asabiyyah, p308, Hadith no.3.

Thanks for sharing, sis ;)

God bless.

Ok, so you say islam promotes racism

Then u post quotes that in no way show promotion of racism

The only thing I see here is people being told that all races are equal.

What exactly did you find so offensive?

Islam is the one religion that is suitable for all walks of life, whether you're white pink black brown or even a smurf or a simpson!

So how can the religion of islam, which is known as the complete way of life, be racist??

what a great post.. i thank you from my heart

@ tom knight:

sura 3:110

You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah - and rebellious against Allah's Command).

so what's your point?? where does it encourage racism?

@ Gujarati engineer, hasn't it ever occured to you that those arabs in your company don't like u because you are incompetent!!

well then i apologize, i really do, and i also apologize on behalf of those people, but those aren't racists, they are sick, arabs aren't at all like that, i even find it amazing how arabs treat their muslim and non-muslim brothers and sisters, with full respect..

besides, why do u insist on disobeying Allah by insulting arabs for the sake of people who don't even deserve pity!! they're sick and will be punished, do u want to be one of them? because you're doing to us what they're doing to u.. be a better person

I never thought this religion did. I just disagree with other things but I disagree with most religions so don't feel bad. Ignore his questions if it bothers you that bad. If your god (don't take offense) is so wonderful, why let him bother you into thinking your god is racist? Besides he's your god. If he is what can you do about it besides believe in another?

Mohamed said if you do not beleive in me and Allah then you must die

I don't beleive in either

more quotes from Sharia law

if a Muslim in a muslim country steals from a non Muslim No crime has been committed

if a Muslim Kills a Non Muslim in a Muslim country the Muslim cannot be Tried for murder

and one part of Sharia law that goes against everything Christian Jewish atheist agnostics and Communist in the civilised world

is Sharia law 65.4 which was practiced by the prophet

not at all. Everyone is equal in god eyes, except those who is taqwa, will lifted higher than the others.

"All men are sons of Adam, and Adam came from dust"

this is incredibly humbling... means that we're all just like eachother

we all bleed red, we all hurt and laugh.. we all love God (well most of us :P)

thank you for sharing! :) much needed!

God bless you

sura 3:110 says that allah made the arab muslims as the best people on earth. this is just one they are dozens of hadiths and suras that prove it.

Islam does not promote racism.
