Muslim Teachings oNracial harmony I am the messenger of Allah to you all (Qur’an 7:158) And of His signs is he creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your language and your colours. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge. (Qur’an 30:22) O mankind, indeed we have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another (Qur’an 49: 13) Muslim teachings on racial harmony All people stand equal, like the teeth of a comb (Hadith Al-Bukari) All mankind is from Adam and Eve (Last sermon from the prophet Muhammad)

Modern Muslim Teachings oN racial harmony The teaching of the Qur’an does not say we should all be the same, it teaches us Allah made us all different and yet we are equal before him. All people have the same creator, the same ancestors and so should be treated the same. Prophet Muhammad showed that he did not discriminate against any race. Muslims should try to do the same. Everyone should be respectful of each other. If a person discriminates this is not respecting a person’s individual nature that was created by Allah and so racism is wrong.
