knowledge-based agricultural economy that reduces the country’s dependence on food imports.
In implementation of the program, the government has made many efforts, including:

ment of women by the laws and customs of many countries, and the United Nations has taken

in the rates of conflicts and violence in all its forms, despite the development of awareness of the unity
of human destiny and the importance of peace; To achieve development and prosperity, and building
a culture of world peace depends to a large extent on building moral values that pervade all human
societies, and we, as Muslims, derive them from our religious teachings.

Third: Peace in Islam:


Islam is the religion of peace and mercy. Islam came to affirm the principle of peace, morals and good
treatment. Allah the Almighty said: “If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with
them”. [Al-Anfal: Verse 61], It is a clear indication of the adoption of the principle of peace, and that it is the
basic rule of this nation.
Just as Islam established the foundations of peace for the nation, Allah the Almighty said:
“Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought
nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair.” [Al-Mumtahanah: Verse 8]

• Article 26: Education shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or
religious groups.
3. The United Nations General Assembly declared the International Day of Peace in 1981 AD in order to
celebrate and promote the ideal of peace among all nations and peoples, and set September 21 as the date
for that.

Intolerance and Racial Discrimination


Intolerance and racism are among the negative values in societies, which must be combated
by all means and methods. They are among the means of destroying healthy societies if they
spread in them.

Definition of Intolerance and Racial Discrimination:

Any discrimination, exclusion or restriction based on


race, color, lineage, or national origin that aims to impair
or impede the recognition, enjoyment or exercise of
human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal
footing, in the economic, social, political or in any other
field of public life in accordance with the International
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination.

Intolerance and Racial Discrimination


Intolerance is an internal feeling that causes a person to see
himself as right, and the other as wrong, and this feeling appears in

the form of practices and attitudes towards the other that lead to his
not recognizing his rights.
As for discrimination, it is discriminating between individuals,
harming, ignoring, or excluding them because of their color, gender,
religion, race, or opinion, and this leads to not realizing their rights.
Discrimination is linked to fanaticism. When a person feels that he is
right, and that the other is wrong, he deprives him of his rights.

Islam and the rejection of racial discrimination:

Islam calls for respect for human dignity and the rejection of racial discrimination. Allah the Almighty said:
“O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and
tribes so that you may get to know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.” [Al-Hujurat: Verse 13]

Lesson 10

Allah created all people from one origin; Therefore, Islam urged equality between people, rejected
discrimination, and made piety and good work the basis of differentiation among people, as it is the
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
