All humans are equal but some people are more equal than others.what race do you identify yourse

lf as .....white,black,asian american african.All humans are same.In a world that has encouraged exclusive individualism where we are led to believe that we alone are special, God tells us that the truth is that we are ALL special.It is the will of God that we all have equal opportunities to partake and taste God’s resources and Mercy. This is a right that God has given us.                       Normal people dont hurt other humanThe Quran places emphasis on the oneness of human beings. It introduces the idea of common human origin and ancestry at four different places and says that humans have their origin in a single cell or soul.Thus the purpose is to ensure that the unity of humanity is never compromised and the differences that exist among people are resolved through a process of mutual understanding on the basis of ideas that are divine revealeThe first thing that we find in Islam in this connection is that it lays down some rights for man as a human being. In other words it means that every man whether he belongs to this country or that, whether he is a believer or unbeliever, whether he lives in some forest or is found in some desert, whatever be the case, he has some basic human rights simply because he is a human being, which should be recognized by every Muslim. In fact it will be his duty to fulfil these obligations.Islam not only recognizes absolute equality between men irrespective of any distinction of colour, race or nationality, but makes it an important and significant principle, a reality. The Almighty God has laid down in the Holy Quran: "O mankind, we have created you from a male and female." In other words all human beings are brothers to one another. They all are the descendants from one father and one mother. "And we set you up as nations and tribes so that you may be able to recognize each other" (49:13). This means that the division of human beings into nations, races, groups and tribes is for the sake of distinction, so that people of one race or tribe may meet and be acquainted with the people belonging to another race or tribe and cooperate with one another. This division of the human race is neither meant for one nation to take pride in its superiority over others nor is it meant for one nation to treat another with contempt or disgrace, or regard them as a mean and degraded race and usurp their rights. "Indeed, the noblest among you before God are the most heedful of you" (49:13). In other words the superiority of one man over another is only on the basis of God-consciousness, purity of character and high morals, and not on the basis of colour, race, language or nationality, and even this superiority based on piety and pure conduct does not justify that such people should play lord or assume airs of superiority over other human beings. Assuming airs of superiority is in itself a reprehensible vice which no God-fearing and pious man can ever dream of perpetrating. Nor does the righteous have more privileged rights over others, because this runs counter to human equality, which has been laid down in the beginning of this verse as a general principle. From the moral point of view, goodness and virtue is in all cases better than vice and evil.

"Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People of the Book, after the clear Signs came to them, did not differ among themselves, except through selfish contumacy. Allah by His Grace guided the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed. For Allah guided whom He wills to a path that is straight.

All humans are equal but some people are more equal than others

"O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single soul, created, of like nature, the mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you being.This has been exemplified by the Prophet in one of his sayings thus: "No Arab has any superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab. Nor does a white man have any superiority over a black man, or the black man any superiority over the white man. You are all the children of Adam, and Adam was created from clay" (al-Bayhaqi and al-Bazzaz). In this manner Islam established equality for the entire human race and struck at the very root of all distinctions based on colour, race, language or nationality. According to Islam,God has given man this right of equality as a birthright. Therefore no man should be discriminated against on the ground of the colour of his skin, his place of birth, the race or the nation in which he was born. Malcolm X, the famous leader of African Negroes in America, who had launched a bitter struggle against the white people of America in order to win civil rights for his black compatriots, when he went to perform the pilgrimage, and saw how the Muslims of Asia, Africa, Europe, America and those of different races, languages and colours of skin, were wearing one dress and were hurrying towards God's House-the Ka'bah and offering prayers standing in one row and there was no distinction of any kind between them, then he realized that this was the solution to the problem of colour and race, and not what he had been trying to seek or achieve in America so far. Today, a number of non- Muslim thinkers, who are free from blind prejudice, openly admit that no other religion or way of life has solved this problem with the same degree of success with which Islam has done so

According to Islam, Poverty is “fakr, fakir and fukara (plural form)” is mentioned in the Qur’an twelve times. When these verses are examined, it is seen that two speak of “spiritual poverty.” These verses compare the inability of human beings to sustain themselves and their absolute need for Allah (al-fukara ilallah) while Allah himself who does not need anybody (wallahu’l-gani).

The words for poverty, in the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, are generally used in the same way. There are many hadiths related to poverty and the poor in the Zuhd (the ignorance of the world life). In these hadiths the poor mainly refer to “material poverty” as it is in the Qur’an. However, it is interesting to note that these hadiths speak of poverty in terms of both compliment and loathing. When we talk about Zuhd we automatically remember the Sufism which practicing Islam in Zuhdm they view the fakr or poverty has a special meaning and place. However, the Sufis paying attention to the material meaning of poverty in the earliest years also accepted the act of giving up property and goods as a basic principle. Since ninth century, it is seen that Sufis’ concept of poverty has acquired a philosophical and spiritual meaning. Fakr means to have no need of anything or anyone except Allah. With this meaning, the poor is not a person who is can’t provide the material things and daily food, but one who lives keeping constantly aware only needing Allah.

So, we can understand that the poor person in Islam is the one who is away from Allah and the person who can’t provide his materialistic needs is called “Maskeen”.

Ali Bin Abi Taleb (radia Allah anho) said “if poverty is a man I would kill him”, poverty leads to incapacity, helplessness, and dependence on others. According to the Prophet Mohamed salah Allah Allah wa salam, “poverty can drive a person close to disbelief” the absence of this need could create conflict with dignity need as mentioned above.
