I Congratulate Sri Sri Ravishankar about his effort and bringing one step closer to Islam
Qur%u2019an cuts the very roots of racism/caste in these words:
'O mankind! We have created you from a single male and female and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know each other. The most honorable of you in the sight of Allah are surely the righteous." (Chapter 49: 13)
And again: "O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women.%u201D (Chapter 4: 1)
Thus Islam stresses the absolute unity in variety of the human race.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) declared: "O people! You are all from Adam and Adam was made of dust. No Arab is to be preferred over a non-Arab except by virtue of his piety." He also said: "Allah does not look at your shapes or your colors but He looks at your hearts (intentions) and your deeds. Creatures are the dependants of Allah and the closest among them to Allah are indeed the most useful to His dependants."
