DISCRIMINATION IS ALIEN TO THE QURAN

Behold, God has removed from you the arrogance of pagan ignorance (jahiliyyah) with its boast of ancestral glories. Man is but a God-conscious believer or an unfortunate sinner. All people are children of Adam, and Adam was created out of dust. There may be differences in colour or physical features, but man is what he is in his inner being and, in this sense, everyone has the same potential. Everyone is born with the same inner qualities, so one who discovers himself and tries to turn his potential into a reality is the one who will be successful. You are not what others think you are: you are what you prove yourself to be. Everyone has the capacity to become a self-made man. Everyone has the capacity to dispel others’ misunderstandings about him, and the Creator expects you to make use of this capacity. God has not shown any discrimination between different people. It is people themselves who give others the chance to discriminate against them. o Everyone is born with the same inner qualities, so one who discovers himself and tries to turn his potential into a reality is the one who will be successful. Introspection The troubles that people face at the hands of others are intended to make them engage in introspection. But false leaders quickly convert them into an excuse for condemning others.
