Book: The Remedy to the Evil Disease of Racism And Prejudice
3. Tribal and Racial Prejudice: The Stepping Stone to an Evil End

Analyze the condition of your heart. Continue to do so until no iota of prejudice remains.

In one battle, there was a person who was fighting with great chivalry and bravery. One Sahabi praised his courageousness in front of the Prophet (sallellaho alaihe wa sallam) due to which the Prophet (salellaho alaihe wasallam) commented that he is a Jahannami (a man destined for Hell). On hearing this comment that Sahabi became curious as to why he was a Jahannami, so he decided to follow him and observe his actions.

Through observation, the Sahabi noticed the person was extremely injured. That person could not tolerate the pain anymore, so he ended his own life with his sword. The Sahabi returned to the Prophet (salellaho alaihe wasallam) and inquired about this whole occurrence, to which the Prophet (salellaho alaihe wasallam) said, "This person was not fighting in the cause of Allah, rather he was fighting in order to make a name for his people and tribe.”

So understand that racial and tribal prejudice is an evil characteristic that leads to Hell-fire. Looking down upon other people's languages and skin color is tantamount to leading oneself to Hell.

Spread this message. There will be great benefit in it. In these times that we are living in, there is great need to propagate this message everywhere. Every Muslim must propagate it. Never look down upon any language, race, or skin color. To look down upon someone because of language or color indicates that a person is in disagreement with the signs of Allah.

Since many people are present in this gathering you should all convey this message: That from the signs of Allah are the variations of your languages and colors. People honor their father's signs when they see them; to such an extent, that it moves them to tears through the remembrance of their beloved father. Now think of how unbecoming and worthless it is of the one who makes the signs of Allah a cause of dispute and dissension.

All the Muslims in the world are brothers regardless of whether they are from London or Uganda. Allah has created humanity black and white; they have not created themselves like that. Allah is the sole Creator. The variations in color & language are from the signs of Allah. Anyone who does not submit and bring faith in any signs of Allah, he is in actuality repudiating the Qur'an Majeed.
