 Concept Of Equality In Islam

o Islam unites the entire human race under one banner without any
kind of discrimination.
o Islam does not distinguish between human beings according to their
races, gender, color, or their beliefs.
o Islam looks at everyone as equal to each other, because at the end
we are all the same in front of Allah Almighty.
o Humans are all made of mud, all mankind is the lineage of Adam and
Adam was formed out of clay.
o Islam even does not distinguish between man and woman; all are
equal in front of Allah.
 Equality in Islam roots from basic principles

 All men are created by One and the Same Eternal Creator, the Supreme Lord of all.
 All mankind belong to the human race and share equally in the common lineage of Adam and Eve.
 Allah is just and kind to all his creatures. He is not partial to any race, age, or religion.
 The whole universe is Allah’s supremacy and all people are His creatures.
 All people are born equal in the sense that none brings any dominion with him, and they die equal in the
sense that none brings any possession with him, and they die equal in the sense that they take back
nothing of their worldly belongings.
 Allah judges every person on the basis of his own merits and according to his own deeds.
 Three main manifestations of equality:
1.Social Equality:
Social Equality is a state of affairs in which all individuals within a specific society have equal
rights, liberties, and status possibly including civil rights, freedom of expression,autonomy and
access to certain public goods and social services.
2.Political Equality:
Political rights are part of human rights, which concerns themselves with rights in political
areas. They include things such as self determination, political measures and the right to
political freedoms. By people is meant the entire human race regardless of opinion ,
religion,sect,color,language and nationality.
3.Financial Equality:
A principal aspect of Islamic justice in economics is distribution of income, which means fair
allocation of income to families within a society or between countries.
 In terms of Holy Quran and Hadith
The Quran advocates equality between all and says that the only good deeds may raise the
status of one human over another.
 There is a Hadith on equality as Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “O mankind, your Lord is
One and your father is one. You all descended from Aadam, and Aadam was created from
the earth. He is most honored among you in the sight of God who is most upright. No Arab
is superior to a non-Arab, no colored person to a white person, or a white person to a
colored person except by Taqwa (piety).” (At-Tirmidhi)
 The Quran, the holy book of Islam, indicates that both men and women are spiritually
equal. The Quran states: "Those who do good, whether male or female, and have faith
will enter Paradise and will never be wronged; even as much as the speck on a date
stone."
Pilgrimage of Islam which shows equality
Hajj(The fifth pillar of Islam)
Once a year, Muslims of every ethnic group, colour, social status, and culture gather
together in Mecca and stand before the Kaaba praising Allah together. It is a ritual
that is designed to promote the bonds of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood by
showing that everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah.
 Conclusion
We can conclude that Islam spread the message of equality not just theoretically but
it also proved it practically as in offering five-time prayer in the mosque in one row
with all other Muslims no matter who is rich or poor. We should also spread the
message of equality so that we can spread peace with this message without being
discriminated in terms of race or sectarian background.
