a) The Prayer, Islam requires of Muslims that they pray in the Mosques in line
with their fellow believers irrespective of their skin color or how much or
little money they posses. This is then magnified every Friday when the whole
of the community comes out to offer the congregational prayerb) The Pilgrimage we find that Islam again equalizes the people by ordering
them to wear the same white garments that do not differentiate between
black and white or rich and poor a pilgrimage that every Muslims who is
physically and financially capable must make.The Question is :
Can this be found in any other Religion?
The answer is of course no.
The rule for differentiation in Islam is through piety, being god-fearing,
beautification though good manners, and good interaction between humans and not
through money or color.
Just look at the example of the companion of the prophet Bilal the freed Abyssinian
slave who was chosen by the prophet to be the caller to the prayer and he was the
leader.
Whereas we find the Arabs being haughty in pre-Islamic Arabia about their lineage
one finds that Islam came you hear the likes of the statement of Umar about Abu
Bakr who freed Bilal, he is our honored one the one who freed our honored one.
How rapidly did Islam reach Spain and Andalusia where again you saw the epitome
of a race less classless society functioning.
Islam encourages equality, and says that humans were created from one soul. And
the only factor that gives preference to one over another is piety.
4) Bringing an end to slavery.One find in the Jewish tradition that the reward of a thief is that he takes ownership
of that which he has stolen, and as the Christians consider the Old Testament it
includes them likewise. Islam however came and regulated slavery giving slaves
rights and started the process of abolishment.
One of the ways that Islam done this was:
By requiring the people who commit particular sins to expiate by freeing a slave.
Like the killer who killed accidently, Islam also encouraged freeing slave as an act of
drawing near to Allah and by dong so encourage the practice of freeing slaves.
It once again shows how multi-faceted this great religion is in providing solutions
for every time and place.
