ness of Allah and love for his dear
Prophet Muhammad [s] that unites
so many different people into one,
single
Ummah
.
The colour of your skin or the lan-
guage you speak does not make
you any better than the next human
being in the sight of Allah. Rather it
is piety and good action that makes
one better than the next. And
because the African, Bilal [r], the
European, Suhayb [r], and the
Persian, Salman [r], were so very
pious and so good in their action,
Allah chose them to be the
Companions of His most dear and
beloved Prophet [s]. They were true
Muslims despite not belonging to
one race, not being the same
colour nor speaking the same lan-
guage.
