Universal Brotherhood in Islam – Dr Zakir Naik
ITC-12
I started my talk by quoting a verse from the Glorious Quran from
Surah Hujurat ch. no. 49 verse no. 13 which says
“Ya ayyuha alnnasu inna khalaqnakum min thakarin waontha wajaAAalnakum shuAAooban waqaba-ila litaAAarafoo inna akramakum AAinda Allahi atqakum inna Allaha AAaleemun khabeer”
Which means
O humankind! We have created you from a single pair of male and female and I have divided you into nations and tribes so that you shall recognize each other not that you shall despise each other. And the most honored in the sight of All Mighty God, is the person who has Taqwa.
The criteria for judgment in the sight of All Mighty God, its not sex, its not color, its not wealth, its not age but it is Taqwa, it is God consciousness, its piety, it is righteousness. The only way one human being can be superior to the other human being is by righteousness and by piety and no other criteria.
Quran says in Surah Rum ch. no. 30 verse no. 32
“And amongst His signs are the heavens and the earth and the variation in your languages and color. These are signs for the people who understand.”
The Qurans says, He has created the various differences in the color and the languages so that those who are knowledgeable people, they will know it’s a sign from All Mighty God. This speaks about the universal brotherhood that All Mighty God has created all the human beings from a common pair of human beings, Adam and Eve (May peace be upon them). And All Mighty God says in
Surah Isra ch. no. 17 verse no. 70
“Walaqad karramna banee adama”
And We have honored the children of Adam
All Mighty God says In the Quran that all the children of Adam irrespective whether they are black or white, male or female, whether they are born in UK or India or USA, whichever part of the world they belong to, All Mighty God has honored all the children of Adam, all the human beings. And Islam does not only speak about universal brotherhood, it practically demonstrates that every Muslim who follows the religion of Islam should practically practice it minimum, 5 times in a day. I am talking about one of the pillars of Islam i.e. Salaah which is the prayer and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that when you stand for prayer, you should stand shoulder to shoulder irrespective whether the person standing next to you is black or white, rich or poor, king or pauper. When you stand for prayer, you have to stand shoulder to shoulder, this demonstrates the Universal brotherhood everyday minimum 5 times everyday.
And another example is Hajj which is one of the pillars of Isl;am that every rich person who has the means and who has the health to travel to Makkah for the pilgrimage should at least do it once in his lifetime. And Hajj is the biggest annual gathering in the world where about 3 to 4 million people from different parts of the world from USA, from Canada, from U.K, from India, from Malaysia…from different parts of the world they gather together in one place in Makkah in Arafat and they are dressed up in two-piece of unsewn cloth which is white in color. And all of them, you cannot identify the person standing next to you is king or a pauper and all of them come on a common statement
Labbaikallah humma labbaik
Here we are O my Lord; here we are at your service.
Islam practically demonstrates universal brotherhood.
