Racism is one of the ruthless problems of human being.

This article illustrates that the Bible place the roots of Racism and encourages it while the Quran eradicated this cruel crisis.

The Bible encourages Racism:

The Bible is very fascinated with the races of the people.

In the Bible we can read this word “my people” in 220 verses.

In 35 verses we have “my people; Israel” as for example:

2 Samuel 3:18

“Now do it! For the LORD promised David, ‘By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies. ”

In two verses we have “my people; the Israelites” as for example:

Exodus 3:10

“So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt. ”

Many verses in the Bible consider the other nations as valueless and should be exterminated as for example:

Exodus 23:27-30

“I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. 28 I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. 30 Small by small I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land. ”

In these verses God will drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of the way of his people. But not in one year, because “the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for his people. ”

Also, in Exodus 33:2

“I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. ”

And, in Exodus 34:24

“I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the LORD your God. ”

Nevertheless, in Isaiah 19:25

“The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance. ”

This is the only time in the Bible to say “Egypt my people”

It follows that the Bible is very interested in the races of people.

And the two favorite races are Israel (37 times) and Egypt (only once).

On the other hand, the Bible sorts out other races like the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites as inferior. But, the Bible gives no thought about the reason to classify those races like dirt!

In addition, many American Christians In the 19th century were taught that Africans, were descendents of Ham (son of Noah), and thus deserved to be slaves. This was based on the tale of Noah and his sons in Genesis 9

Everyone memorizes how black Africans were transported across the oceans, crammed in special ships, and treated like livestock. They were: 1) made slaves, 2) enforced to change their religion, names and language, 3) were not entitled to hope for right freedom, and 4) were repudiated the least of human rights.

Still some Western white people reckon they are the superior and their native black people are inferiors.

Arabs practiced Racism before Islam:

Before Islam, the Arabs practiced racism very much, under the name of tribalism that was prevalent in “Makka”.

Mohammad’s tribe “Quraysh” place themselves at the top of the Arabs in general and superior to all the other peoples of the world.

Mohammad came with the heavenly Message and declared that no Arab is superior over a non-Arab, and no white is superior over black and superiority is by righteousness and God-fearing alone

This established in the hearts and minds that superiority is not by birth or color or blood, but by Allah-fearing and righteousness.

This is firmly expressed in the Qur’an, when Allah clarifies the reason for our variety as different races and peoples:

“O’ mankind, We have made you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is the one with the most piety”

(The Quran 49:13).

The Prophet (saws) said: “Indeed there is no excellence for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab, nor a White person over a Black one, nor a Black person over a White one, except through piety”.

A statement like this tells us that this man, Mohammed, was truly a receiver of heavenly inspiration. His words were not blank like the words of so many leaders today. Rather, he was always the first to lead by example, and this is why we find that during his lifetime so many different types of people accepted Islam. From amongst the Prophet’s friends we find that he had an Ethiopian companion named “Bilal”.

Bilal had been a slave before he accepted Islam, and as a result his position in Arabian society was worse than the animals. But, when he converted to Islam Bilal was given a status like no Black slave had been given before. He was given the immense honor of being the first person to call the “Azan” (call to prayer) in Islam’s magnificent history. More outstandingly but, he was accepted as an equal and a brother by the Prophet and his companions.

Mohammad eradicated the problem of racial or color discrimination so successfully that, for example, “Omar” the second well-known Ruler in Islam once said about Bilal: “Bilal” is our master”

This was one of the reasons of the spread of Islam to every corner of the known world.

Thus Blacks, Whites, Arabs, Indians, Malays and all other races: are truly united by worshipping their Creator. This unity is not only restricted to the prayer, but to the whole of ones life, to the extent that Muslims try to fall under the saying of their beloved Prophet who said:

“The example of the believers in their mutual like and mercy is like the example of a body; if one part of the body feels pain, then all the body suffers in sleeplessness and fever “.

Another observance which has helped so many to eradicate racism from their lives, is the Hajj (pilgrimage to Makka), which is obligatory upon every Muslim at least once in a lifetime. The Hajj brings together the peoples of the world, all at one time of the year, in one place.

The Hajj to “Makka” is an experience to see people belonging to different colors, races and nationalities, kings, heads of states and ordinary men from very poor countries all dressed in simple white sheets praying to Allah without any sense of either pride or inferiority. It is a practical manifestation of the concept of equally in Islam.

Islam and Racism against other religions?

The peoples of other faiths have always loved religious toleration under Islam; when the Jews were being persecuted in the rest of Europe, they found freedom and sanctity in Muslim Spain. Their historians regard that as one of their Golden Eras.

This was due to the Islamic teachings:

“Say: We believe In Allah, and in what Has been revealed to us And what was revealed To Abraham, Ishmael; Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, And in (the Books) Given to Moses, Jesus, And the Prophets, From their Lord: We make no distinction Between one and another Among them and to God do we Bow our will( in Islam). ”

The Quran 3:84

“Verily, those who believe (in the Quran) And those who follow the Jewish( scriptures) And the Christians and the Sabians, Any who believe in God And the Last Day, And work righteousness Shall have their reward With their Lord; on them Shall be no dread, nor shall they grieve. ”

The Quran 2:62

“Let there be no compulsion in matters of religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. ”

The Quran 2:256

“And among His Signs Is the creation of the heavens And the earth, and the variations In your languages And your colors; verily In that are Signs For those who know. ”

The Quran 30:22

The last Prophet Mohammed said:

“Allah is to be praised and thanked for ridding us of the vices and pride of the days of ignorance. O People! Note that all men( the noun includes women as well) are divided in two categories only: the pious and God-fearing who are estimable in Allah’s reckoning, and the transgressors and hard-hearted, who are lowly and contemptible in the eye of Allah. ”

“O Mankind! Most certainly, it is We( God almighty) who have

Made you all From a single (pair) Of a male and a female, And it is we who Have made you into Nations and tribes, That ye may recognize each other (Not that ye may despise each other). Verily, the noblest of you In the sight of Allah Is (he who is) the most Righteous of you. ”

“All men (includes women) are equal in Islam, the Arab has no superiority over the non-Arab, nor does the non-Arab have superiority over the Arab, save in the dread of God. ”

In conclusion:

We have noticed that the Bible is interested in races and classifies the races into superior and inferior. In addition, the Bible encouraged the “Colorism”.

On the other hand, Islam is not a racist religion, nor does it preach racism. The disappearance of race awareness as between Muslims is one of the exceptional accomplishment of Islam, and in the modern world there is, as it happens, a crying need for the transmission of this Islamic benefit. ”

Racism is one of the ruthless problems of human being.

Racism is one of the problems of human beings without mercy. This paper shows that the Bible is the roots of racism and encouraged, while the Koran eradicate this cruel attack. The Bible encourages racism: The Bible is very fascinated by the races of people. In the Bible, we read the word “my people” in 220 verses. In 35 verses that have “my people, Israel, for example: 2 Samuel 3:18 ”Now they do because the Lord promised David:” By my servant David I will save my people of Israel from the Philistines and the hand of all his enemies. “ In two verses that we have “my people the Israelites,” for example: Exodus 3:10 ”So now, go. I will send you to Pharaoh to my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” Many verses of the biblical account of other nations as worthless and must be exterminated: Exodus 23:27-30 ”I will send my terror before you and throw into confusion all the countries you are experiencing. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run 28. I will send hornets before thee, to lead the Hivite, the Canaanites and the Hittites in your way. 29 But I will not drive them in a single year since the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you 30. Gradually, I have driven before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land. “ In these verses, God lead Hivites, the Canaanites and the Hittites away from his people. But not next year because “the land become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for his people.” In addition, in Exodus 33:2 ”I’ll send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, Perizzite Hivites and Jebusites.” And in Exodus 34:24 ”I am casting out before you nations and enlarge your territory, and nobody covet your land when you go up to three times a year to appear before the LORD thy God.” But, in Isaiah 7:25 p.m. ”The Lord of hosts shall bless, saying:” Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my work, and Israel my inheritance. “ It’s the only time in the Bible to say “Egypt my people” It follows that the Bible is very interested in the careers of people. And two favorite breeds are Israel (37 times) and Egypt (once). On the other hand, the Bible commands to other breeds like the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, Perizzite Hivites and Jebusites as inferior beings. But, the Bible gives no thought about the reason for classifying breeds waste! In addition, many American Christians in the 19th century have taught that Africans were descendants of Ham (son of Noah), and should therefore be slaves. This was based on the tale of Noah and his son in Genesis 9 Everyone remembers black Africans were transported across the ocean, packed in special ships, and treated like cattle. They were: 1) made slaves, 2) forced to change religion, and the names of the tongue, 3) had no right to hope for right freedom, and 4) have been repudiated at least rights. But, some Westerners reckon they are white people and black are higher than natives. The Arabs before Islam practiced racism: Before Islam, Arabs racism practiced largely in the name of tribalism that existed in Mecca. the tribe of Muhammad “Quraysh” to the top of the Arabs in general and above all other peoples of the world. Muhammad came with the divine message and said that no Arab is superior to a non-Arab, and black is white on top and the superiority of justice and fearing God alone It was established in the hearts and minds that superiority is not by birth or color or blood, but fearing God and justice. This is expressed in the Qur’an, God when he clarifies the reason for our diversity and different races and peoples: ”Men, We made you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other. In fact, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is the greatest pity “ (Quran 49:13). The Prophet (PBUH) said: “While there is no excellence for an Arab over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab over an Arab or a white in a black, white or black person one, except through piety. “ Such a statement tells us that this man, Muhammad, was a veritable host divine inspiration. His words are not white like the words of so many leaders today. Instead, it was always the first to lead by example, if we find that during his life of many types of people who accepted Islam. Among the friends of the Prophet, we find that Ethiopia was a man named “Bilal”. Bilal was a slave before accepting Islam, and because of its position in Arab society was worse than animals. But, when he converted to Islam Bilal gave a status not as black slave had been given before. He received the honor of being the first person to call “Azan (call to prayer) in the long history of Islam. In particular, but, has been accepted as an equal and a brother by the Prophet and his companions. Mohammad eradicated the problem of racial discrimination or color with such success that, for example, “Omar”, the second rule of Islam well-known once said Bilal, Bilal is our master “ This was one of the reasons for the spread of Islam to all corners of the known world. Thus, blacks, whites, Arabs, Indians, Malays and all other races are truly united to worship their Creator. This unit is not limited only to prayer, but throughout their lives, in so far as Muslims are trying to go below the floor of their beloved prophet, saying: ”The example of believers in their mutual like and mercy is like the example of a body, and if a body part feels pain, then the whole body suffers from sleeplessness and fever.” Another observation which has allowed both to eradicate racism in their lives, is the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), which is obligatory for every Muslim at least once in life. The Hajj brings together the peoples of the world, all at the same time of year, in one place. El Hadj “Mecca” is an experience to see people belonging to colors, races and nationalities, kings, heads of state and ordinary men from very poor countries all clad in simple white sheets praying to Allah without any sense of pride or inferiority. It is a concrete manifestation of the concept of equality in Islam. Islam and racism against other religions? The peoples of other religions have always loved the religious tolerance in Islam, when Jews were persecuted in the rest of Europe, they found freedom and sanctity in Muslim Spain. Their historians regard as one of its golden ages. This was due to Islamic teachings: Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and (pounds) Since Moses, Jesus and the prophets, their Lord: we make no distinction between one and another among them and God we bow (in Islam). “ Koran 3:84 ”Verily those who believe (in the Qur’an) and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians, all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and work righteousness shall have their reward with their Lord on them shall be no dread, nor shall they grieve. “ Koran 2:62 ”Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah has shaken hands with more confidence than expected, that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows everything. “ Qur’an 2:256 ”And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and variations in your languages and colors: verily in that are Signs for those who know.” Qur’an 30:22 The last prophet Muhammad said: ”Allah be praised and thanked for ridding us of the vices and pride of the era of ignorance. People! Please note that all men (the name includes women too) are divided into two categories: the pious and devout, which are estimated in the calculation of Allah, and the transgressors and hard, who are humble and contemptible in the eyes of Allah. “ ”Men! Indeed, we are (God Almighty), who Made all single (pair) of a man and a woman, and we who have made you into nations and tribes so that you recognize each other (not that ye may despise each other). In truth, the noblest of you in the eyes of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous. “ ”All men (including women) are equal in Islam, the Arab has no superiority over non-Arab, nor the Arabs have no superiority over the Arabs, but in dread of God. In conclusion: We note that the Bible is interested in the race and classifies the upper and lower races. In addition, the Bible encourages the color. “ In addition, Islam is not a racist religion, nor preach racism. The extinction of race consciousness between Muslims is one of the outstanding achievements of Islam and the modern world is, as usual, a necessity for the transmission of this benefit Islam. ”
