When you have a religion based around your genes 🧬, what do you expect really?

This is why Allaah said:

“Oh mankind, I created you from a male and female and made you nations and tribes so that you know one another. Verily the BEST of you are those who are most God fearing” - Quran

So in Islam, we ARE equal in that we come from a single source, but we are NOT equal based on our deeds. Anyone can become a better or worse person based on their actions. Anyone can become the best of mankind or the worst.

The moment you believe you’re from the best JUST because you were born into X or the worst because you were born with Y passport, then you’re a racist. And the idea of a country built around such a thing is a racist state. And there is no way this state and end up except as an apartheid state.

So just as we were interrogated with the question “Do you condemn Hummus?” I have some of my own questions.

1) Do you believe that some part of this earth or all of it belongs to a certain set of people due to their lineage/genes?

2) Do you believe that a person can confiscate the property of others just because they are a part of a certain lineage/gene pool?

3) Do you believe that a certain set of people, due to their lineage will have certain set of laws different from others, either in giving them more rights or taking it away?

4) Do you believe that a certain group of people of a certain lineage were chosen by God and therefore can do what they like with everyone else?

I’ll conclude with the statement of Allaah in the Quraan:

There are People of the Book who, if you [Prophet] entrust them with a heap of gold, will return it to you intact, but there are others of them who, if you entrust them with a single dinar (gold coin), will not return it to you unless you keep standing over them, because they say, ‘We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.’ They tell a lie against God and they know it.
