10. Freedom Islam has guaranteed freedom for all humanity, for Muslims and as well as for the non-Muslims alike.

11. Equality Islam makes it clear that in the sight of Allah, all men are equal, but they are not necessarily identical. Even though, there are differences of abilities, wealth, potentialities and so on and so forth; yet none of these differences can by itself bring a status of superiority of one man or race over the other.

12. The stock of man, the color of his skin, and the amount of wealth one has and the degree of prestige one enjoys has no bearing on the character and personality of the individual. The only distinction which Allah recognizes is the distinction in piety (taqwa). And the only criterion which Allah applies is the criterion of goodness and spiritual excellence.

13. Allah says in the holly Qur'an 49:13 Surah Hujurat. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).”

14. The seal of the prophets of Allah, Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be upon him was reported to have mentioned in his last Sermon (Qutbah) at Arafat, that, ‘’ an Arab is not better than a non-Arab, and a non-Arab is not better than an Arab. A white man is not better than a black man and a black man is not better than a white man except in piety.
