What does racism mean?
Racism is discrimination between people based on their race, origin, color, or region. The first to advocate for it was Iblees (Satan) when he said: "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay." Islam eradicated these pre-Islamic (Jahiliyyah) practices, for Allah Almighty says: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." And the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has removed from you the arrogance of Jahiliyyah and its boasting about ancestors.... You are the children of Adam, and Adam was from dust."
