Reference from Hadith• The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: • “O people! Your Lord is one Lord, and you all share
the same father. • There is no preference for Arabs over non-Arabs,
nor for non-Arabs over Arabs. • Neither is their preference for white people over
black people, nor for black people over white people.
• Preference is only through righteousness.”
