Principles of Islam
21. Human Brotherhood
~ 60 ~
Ideally, the relation between one man and another
ought not to be one of strangeness but one of
familiarity; not of distance but of nearness; not of
hatred but of love.
When all human beings are descendants of the
same progenitors, which mean that all are equal: no
one is superior or inferior. The distinction between
great and small is not between one human being
and another, but between God and men. And before
God, certainly, all human beings are equal; all are
equally His creatures and His servants. For God
does not discriminate between one and the other of
His creations.
