Now a days, after innocent George Floyd's death in the hands of a police officer, a movement against racism has started with the slogan
"BLACK LIVES MATTER"
I just want to bring a para from Prophet Muhammad's last Sermon delivered at the occasion of Hajj (Muslim's Religious Event) to the notice of entire mankind on the face of earth, what lesson was thought to the mankind in general and Muslims in particular about equality and against racism by Prophet Muhammad some 1500 year ago.
Prophet Muhamad 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 black nor a black
has any superiority over white
except bypiety (taqwa) 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.
