3265: Does the father’s country of origin or the mother’s colour prevent their son from becoming Muslim?
هل بلد الأب أو منشأه أو لون الأم يمنع ابنهما من ان يصبح مسلما ؟
Because my father is puertorican and my mother is white does that stop me from becoming a muslim? لان ابي من وامي بيضاء هذا منعنى من ان اصبح مسلماً؟ Praise be to Allaah. الحمد لله What you mention does not stop you from becoming a Muslim at all. ما ذكرته لا يمنعك من أن تصبح مسلما على الاطلاق Islam is the religion for all of mankind, الاسلام دين لجميع البشر no matter what their colour, land, tribe or language. بغض النظر عن اللون والأرض والقبيلة أو اللغة
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the Messenger to all of mankind, النبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم هو رسول لجميع البشر of all origins and countries. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): بجميع اصولهم وبلدانهم. قال الله تعالى:
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allaah – to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. None has the right to be worshipped but He; it is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allaah and His Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, who believes in Allaah and His Words, and follow him so that you may be guided.” [al-A’raaf 7:158]. قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعاً الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ يُحْيِـي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُواْ بِاللّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ (158) سورة الاعراف There is no superiority of anyone over anyone else in Islam, except in terms of taqwa (piety, consciousness of Allaah). لا يوجد تفوق لأحد على أحد في الاسلام إلا في التقوى وادراكه بالله Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): الله تعالى قال فيما معناه
“O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allaah is that (believer) who has al-taqwa (i.e., is one of the muttaqoon – the pious). Verily, Allaah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.” [al-Hujuraat 49:13] يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوباً وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (13)
In His wisdom, Allaah has made mankind into different peoples and tribes so that they may know one another, حكمة الله انه خلق البشر شعوب وقبائل ليتعارف بعضهم على الآخر
not so that they may despise one another. وليس ليحتقر بعضهم بعضا He tells us that the differences in colour and languages are a sign of His greatness and power in creation. الله اخبرنا أن اختلاف اللون واللغة هي من علامة عظمته وقدرته في الخلق He says (interpretation of the meaning): الله تعالى قال ( تفسير قوله تعالى ) “And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge.” [al-Room 30:22] ومن آياته خلق السماوات والأرض واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم إن في ذلك لآيات للعالمين ( 22 ) The Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) النبي محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام affirmed the prohibition of racial discrimination and of despising coloured people, أكد تحريم التمييرز العنصري وحرمة احتقار الناس بسبب ألوانهم when he said in his famous speech: “O people, your Lord is One and your father [i.e., Adam] is one. There is no superiority of the Arab over the non-Arab, or of the non-Arab over the Arab, or of the red over the black, or of the black over the red – except with regard to taqwa.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 22391) يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ أَلَا لَا فَضْلَ لِعَرَبِيٍّ عَلَى أَعْجَمِيٍّ وَلَا لِعَجَمِيٍّ عَلَى عَرَبِيٍّ وَلَا لِأَحْمَرَ عَلَى أَسْوَدَ وَلَا أَسْوَدَ عَلَى أَحْمَرَ إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى
When a man insulted his brother (in Islam) for having a black mother, عندما شتم رجل مسلم أخاه المسلم بأمه السوداء the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him, “You are a man who still has jaahiliyyah (ignorance) in him.” Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “There was an argument between me and one of my brothers whose mother was non-Arab. I insulted him about his mother, and he complained about me to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). I met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said, “O Abu Dharr, you are a man who still has jaahiliyyah (ignorance) in him.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim; this version narrated by Muslim, 3139). حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ غَلِيظٌ وَعَلَى غُلاَمِهِ مِثْلُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَخَذْتَ الَّذِي عَلَى غُلاَمِكَ فَجَعَلْتَهُ مَعَ هَذَا فَكَانَتْ حُلَّةً وَكَسَوْتَ غُلاَمَكَ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ . قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ سَابَبْتُ رَجُلاً وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ أَعْجَمِيَّةً فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمِّهِ فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ " . قَالَ " إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فَضَّلَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُلاَئِمْكُمْ فَبِيعُوهُ وَلاَ تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللَّهِ " . رواه البخاري ومسلم وهذا الحديث ورد بصيحيح مسلم
