Abstract
In a world so torn apart by wars, racism, Islamophobia, prejudice, and all other forms of discrimination, we need a broader philosophy that views humanity as a single family. Thank God, as Muslims who follow the footsteps of the Prophet (SAW), we are taught to live in peace and harmony, coexisting with fellow human beings (both Muslims and non-Muslims) and with nature. Islam, as both a religion and a philosophy for life, advocates fairness, justice, equality, and equity. It teaches us to respect one another and avoid confrontation by all means. Since the Almighty Creator has allocated sufficient provision for all life forms on this planet, we should not hate, discriminate, sabotage, or belittle one another in an attempt to dominate. We did not choose the parents or ethnicity we were born into, so we should not look down on others based on their skin colour, language, or background. As mentioned in Surah Al-Hujuraat (13), only those who are God-conscious are most honoured in the sight of the Creator. Allah is fair and just; He has granted greatness to every race and nation. It is for us to recognize and appreciate the beauty and greatness of other nations, and to share the goodness God has given us with others.
