is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.” [Al-Hujurat: Verse 13]

Allah created all people from one origin; Therefore, Islam urged equality between people, rejected

religion of tolerance and compassion among humans.
“O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord Who created you from a single soul, and from it He created its mate,
and through both He spread countless men and women. And be mindful of Allah—in Whose Name you
appeal to one another—and honourfamily ties. Surely Allah is ever Watchful over you.” [An-Nisa: Verse 1]
All people were created from a single soul. Islam has fought all the causes and forms of violence,
extremism, and racial and social discrimination, and replaced them with the principles of justice, equality,
mercy, regardless of their status
