What is Islam's view on racial discrimination?
All people are of one origin, and Islam does not pay attention to differences in color, race, or lineage. Differentiation among people is based on faith and piety, as Allah Almighty said: (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. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted). Islam equalizes people in rights and duties; people are equal before the law. Whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, while being a believer, will be rewarded with goodness. Faith and piety lead to Paradise, while disbelief and arrogance lead to Hellfire. Islam has included men from various tribes, races, and colors, united by faith and piety, such as Abu Bakr al-Qurashi, Bilal al-Habashi, and Salman al-Farisi.
