the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth
were joined together (as one unit of creation), before

Verses From The Holy
Quran
Is it not (the case) that to God belongs
whatever is in the heavens and on earth?
Is it not
(the case) that God's promise (of the Day of Judgment)
is assuredly true?
Yet most of them understand
not.
It is He Who gives life and who takes it, and
to Him shall you all be brought
back.
O mankind! there has
come to you a direction from your Lord God and a
healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for
those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy.
Say: "In the bounty of
God. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice":
that is better than the (wealth) they hoard. (The Holy
Quran, 10:55-58) |
About 1400 years ago, in his last
sermon, Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him)
said:
“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an
Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab
has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no
superiority over a black nor a black has any
superiority over a white — except by piety and good
action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every
Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one
brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim
which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given
freely and willingly. Do not therefore do injustice to
yourselves. Remember one day you will meet Allah and
answer your deeds. So beware: Do not stray from the
path of righteousness after I am
gone.” |
