"Islam is an ideology. It's not a race."
Racism is one of the worst forms of discrimination in our world today, and should not condoned. Sadly, it is still very common and continues to be a problem.
In Islam, racism is not allowed.
Everyone is equal in the sight of Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) and the Quran signifies this.
The Quran states:
“O mankind, We have created you all from a single (pair of a) male and female and made you nations and tribes so that you get to know one another; verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most mindful of Him. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.”
(Al-Quran: 49:13)
This passage shows us that everyone, regardless of skin color, ethnicity and creed are equal. We are all judged upon our faithfulness.
When one looks at Muslim pilgrims in the Holy City of Makkah as an example, one can see the unity of people of all Faiths and backgrounds standing shoulder to shoulder, praying alongside each other despite the differences.
In Islam and in the presence of the Almighty, our looks and our gender do not matter, but what is inside us that counts.
May Allah keep us humble in our faith and belief.
Aameen Ya Rabbal Alaamien
(S*A)
