“In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Islam is egalitarian in the sense that it oppose all forms of racism, tribalism, doctrines, and pernicious ideologies which incite the pride of one class of people against another. The Quran and Sunnah convey a consistent message on the default equality of all people, with righteousness (al-taqwa) being the only distinguishing feature that makes someone better than another.
Allah said:
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ
Verily, the most noble of you to Allah is the most righteous of you.
Surat al-Hujurat 49:13
Abu Nadrah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ أَلَا لَا فَضْلَ لِعَرَبِيٍّ عَلَى أَعْجَمِيٍّ وَلَا لِعَجَمِيٍّ عَلَى عَرَبِيٍّ وَلَا لِأَحْمَرَ عَلَى أَسْوَدَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ عَلَى أَحْمَرَ إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى أَبَلَّغْتُ
O people, your Lord is one and your father Adam is one. There is no favor of an Arab over a foreigner, nor a foreigner over an Arab, and neither white skin over black skin, nor black skin over white skin, except by righteousness. Have I not delivered the message?

Philosopher TheWiseAden: “Just to let all the members know, today we will be doing a discussion of how we can encourage unity through diversity through a contemporary analysis.
And a refutation of the accusation that Islam promotes Arab superiority which is plainly untrue.
Ideally, I’d want to be able to talk but if I cannot then I will just livestream the notes I’ve written on this.”
Please enjoy the results of other Nur City Festival projects and we hope we’ll see you live at the potential next Festival as a visitor or even as a new citizen of Nur City!
