Muslims are Against Racism Because … • In the Qur’an it says that Allah created all people equally. • Muhammad (PBUH) said that: “No Arab is greater than a non-Arab and no non-Arab is greater than an Arab. • The followers of Muhammad (PBUH) were of many different races and backgrounds. • The Qur’an teaches that all Muslims are one Ummah (nation).
