"O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female; and We have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware."
(The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 49 Verse 14)
The Above verse "constitutes the Magna Carta of human fraternity and equality. It lays the axe at the false and foolish notions of superiority...all men have being declared equal before God. The Worth of a man is not to be judged by the pigment of his skin, the amount of wealth he possesses, or by rank or social status, descent or pedigree, but by his moral greatness and by the way in which he discharges his obligations to God and man. The whole of human race is but one family."
