Allah the Almighty said: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." (Al-Hujurat: 13) And He said: "And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed, in that are signs for those of knowledge." (Ar-Rum: 22) And He said: "O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]." (Al-Imran: 102) And He said: "O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer." (An-Nisa: 1) "An Arab is not superior to a non-Arab except by piety, nor a non-Arab to an Arab except by piety, nor a white to a black except by piety, nor a black to a white except by piety. The people are from Adam, and Adam was from dust. No Arab has superiority over a non-Arab, nor a white over a black, except by piety."
