Uniting Humanity
By IOL Team
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.
