Islam does not support racism

America is up in arms today over an issue of racism. Thousands of people took to the streets to break the lockdown. 

A different history is going to be written in America. However, this history is not a new history. It is not a sudden event.

 There have been many incidents of racism in this world. Many people have been injured and killed. Blacks and whites — the division has been going on for a long time. Maybe since the creation of the world. But where is the end of it?

 

Not to mention the age of ignorance or barbarism, 

• why racism occurs in this modern civilized society? 

• Why do people still lose their lives in the arrogance of racist people?

•  The man who frankly admits that he has no merit in being born white or black, he has no hands — why is that man again looking at the eyebrows when another man with a different covering is standing close to him?

•  What is this racism?

    Racialism is the practice of politically, economically,     and socially discriminating against a population because of its color. Racism means racism.

 The difference between black and white. In recent times, this racism is not limited to racial discrimination; On the contrary, racism is being observed in terms of race, country, class, and even religion.

 

There have been movements in different parts of the world for ages to eradicate racism. The law has been passed. There have been policies.

 Various organizations and commissions have also been formed. But why is this inequality not stopping? Why don't people accept this cover of birth differences? Not in any man-made provision or policy;

 ‘Islam’ is the only solution to eradicate this racist discrimination. Working formula. Because there is no caste discrimination in Islam.

 Islam does not support racism or racism in any way. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has set a unique example of establishing an ideal state and society by eradicating racism.

 

So say the United States or say the United Kingdom; Talk about the continent of Africa or talk about Australia: Islam may be the only effective formula to remove the stigma of racism from the face of the earth. 

The famous historian Malcolm X once said publicly, ‘America must fully understand Islam. Because Islam is the only religion that can provide effective solutions to eradicate apartheid from American society. '

 

The religion of peace Islam has no racist behavior. There is no racism. Islam did not differentiate between black and white, between rich and poor, between high and low, and between race and ethnicity, nor did it distinguish between the best and the worst, nor did it set any criteria for good or evil.

•  Let us now look at the ways and means of eradicating racism or racism in Islam and how the Prophet (peace be upon him) built an ideal society without racism. 

• Islam has not given superiority to any human being in terms of language, religion, or caste. In the eyes of Islam, the only principle of determining the uniqueness of man is taqwa or fear of Allah and observance of religion.

•  Racial beauty or racial superiority is not a measure of human superiority in the eyes of Islam. In the Farewell Hajj speech, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said clearly,

•  ‘O, people! Your Lord is One God. Your first father is Adam. Remember! Arabs over non-Arabs and Arabs over non-Arabs and whites over blacks and whites over blacks have no specialty or superiority. 

• This specialty can be considered only in terms of fear of Allah and observance of religion. '(Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 2296

Racism is a form of communalism. A tool of social exploitation. Some inhumane human beings use racism as a tool to satisfy their own interests. Communal riots spread in the name of racism. 

Islam does not support communalism. Islam is a religion that believes in non-communal consciousness. In the Holy Qur’an, Allah the Almighty has said,

 ‘O mankind, surely I created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. 

Indeed, the most honorable in the sight of Allah is the most pious. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surah Hujrat, verse 13). Thus, by eradicating communal thinking, Islam has ultimately eradicated racism or apartheid.

 

 A variety of colors and differences of language are not optional; The gift of God alone. And these are the signs given by him. No human being can be born white if he wants to, or no one can stop being born black even if he has a hundred desires.

 Whose place of birth has been determined in Europe; It is not possible to transfer the birth to Pakistan considering one's wish or preference.

 In the Holy Qur’an, Allah the Almighty has said, ‘Another of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages ​​and colors.

 Indeed in that are signs for a people who know. '(Surah Room, Ayat 22). In another verse, Allah Ta'ala says, ‘Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky; I bring forth therewith fruits of various colors. And in the mountains, there are paths of various colors - white, red, and pure black.

 Thus there are more colorful people, insects, and animals. '(Surat al-Fatir, verses 27-28) It is nothing but foolishness to blame people for that difference. It is also narrated in the hadith, 

‘Demonstrations continue, France on zero tolerance on the racism issue

Protests continue, France on zero tolerance on the issue of racism

Protests against police violence and racism in the United States continue in France, as in some European countries. Thousands of people took to the streets 

 

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in France to protest police violence and racism. Most of them are young. At the time, they had placards reading "No Justice" and "No Peace" and various placards about police violence.

 

A black youth who came to the protest said that racism must be eradicated at any cost. The way we are treated is never desirable. We also stand up against the way the police abuse power.

 

Despite the government's silence on the issue, the country's home minister told a news conference that they would show zero tolerance on racism.
