This groundbreaking book delves into the rich tapestry of Islamic history, theology, and jurisprudence to reveal Islam's unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and the eradication of all forms of discrimination.

Antiracism as a Cornerstone of Islamic Belief

Central to the Islamic worldview is the belief in the essential unity of humanity, transcending all distinctions of race, ethnicity, or social status. The Quran, the sacred text of Islam, explicitly condemns racism in all its manifestations, declaring that "there is no superiority of a white over a black or a black over a white except by piety" (49:13). This principle of equality forms the foundation of Islamic antiracism, guiding Muslims to reject all forms of racial bias and discrimination.
