The Farewell Hajj

Right to equality

A society in which there are divisions based on family, tribe, caste, nationality, race, etc. easily falls prey to clashing and discord and decays very soon. The best society is the one in which there is no concept of high and low based on such things and everybody’s rights are equal. Here these words of the Holy Prophet are our guide:

An Arab does not have any superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab over an Arab; neither a white man over a black man nor a black man over a white man

With these guiding words, dividing men into classes is prohibited, arrogance has been checked and universal equality has been declared.
