hadith

Precious pearlWell this is such a nice hadith and the message that is inside it is so important especially in the times that we live in. I remember going to the mosque for the first time and seeing so many people of all different races, and then whenI went on umra for the first time being so amazed with all the people It does not matter in Islam whether you are rich or poor or black or white we are all equal but the best in the sight of Allah is the one who is pious. In these times we should be united and not divided as the disbeleivers wish us to be( bush and blair etc).

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in his last sermon: "All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action." Abu Dharr said the Prophet told him: "You are not better than people (of other races) unless you excel them in piety."
