Demeaning any human is in reality to demean the dignity and purity of God, the Almighty.įifthly, Islam is a religion that not only considers diversity to be a social virtue. Hence all humans, regardless of their physical appearances, represent that very “purity” of the Almighty. Possibly if I must borrow from our Jewish or Christian friends, we can say “that all mankind are created in the image of God.” This heavenly dignity is based on the fact that all mankind represent the “fitrah” (purity) of God. 17:70: “And we have certainly honored the children of Adam”. And no one has any right to take it away but the Provider Himself.Īllah says in Ch.

In fact, the Quran confirms that all mankind are the descendants of the same father and mother. Thirdly, Islam considers all human beings as one family.
