Rejection of racial discrimination in islam
In human history, racial discrimination has long been a cause of injustice. One important aspect of Islam is that it regards human beings as equal children of Adam. As a religion, Islam does not recognize the racial discrimination among people. In his Farewell Sermon, Muhammad (pbuh) rejected the discrimination based on race, color, language or tribe. All are considered equal in receiving human rights and in carry out their duties. According to Islamic teaching, no privileged or chosen class exists except those having piety or moral excellence
Allah Says "O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers" [Qur'an 49:11]
