Islam Rejects Racial and Ethnic Discrimination

According to majority of historians, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was always drawing the attention of his followers to the following statement: “All of you are children of Adam and Adam is from dust; Arab cannot claim superiority over non-Arab except on the basis of piety and good deed.”‌[1]

AL MUZZAMMIL (Bundled up)

The Surah of Muhammad

The Surah derives its name from the sentence wa amanu bi-ma nuzzila ala Muhammad-in of verse 2, thereby implying that it is the Surah in which the holy name of Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings) has occurred. Besides, it has another well known name "al-Qital" also, which is derived from the sentence wa dhukira fi-hal-qital of verse 20.

No Prophet Would Come After Him
