Prophetic Ahadith in Condemnation of Racism – Islamic Book on Equality & Justice

Prophetic Ahadith in Condemnation of Racism by Dr. Abd al-Salam Ibn Burjis is a powerful Islamic work that highlights the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ regarding equality and justice among mankind. The book compiles authentic ahadith that strongly condemn racism, tribalism, and all forms of discrimination. It emphasizes that superiority in Islam is not based on race, color, or lineage, but on taqwa (righteousness) and obedience to Allah. Through clear explanations and evidences, the author demonstrates how Islam eradicated the prejudices of جاهلية (pre-Islamic ignorance) and established true brotherhood among people. This concise and impactful book is essential for understanding Islamic values of unity, justice, and equality in today’s world.

From Author:

"Generation after generation was destroyed by wars because a man would seek the aid of his tribe, even if he was upon falsehood and the likes of that from trivial causes and despicable motives. So Islam came to erase all of these loathsome outward practices in their lives when it made them equal with regards to the rights, and it made their slogans of allegiance to, al-Islam. And Islam made them excel over one another due to taqwa; (righteousness) and obedience to Allah. So there is no excellence for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor is there any excellence for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a white person over a black one, nor for a black person over a white one, except due to taqwa."

The Introduction of Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Ibn Fawzān Ibn 'Abdullah al-Fawzān
"he praise is for Allah and may peace and salutations be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his Family and his Companions. To proceed:
So I have read the treatise entitled, 'Prophetic Aḥadīth in Condemnation of the Racism of al-Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic times of ignorance),' which was prepared by the Shaykh, 'Abd al-Salam Ibn Burjis Al-'Abd al-Karīm. So I found it - and the praise is for Allah - to be a good and beneficial treatise. It is based upon strong evidences from the Book and the Sunnah concerning its topic. It discusses an issue in which the people are upon two diametrically opposed views. So the author of this treatise clarified therein the view of truth in light of the Book and the Sunnah and the speech of the people of knowledge. May Allah reward him (i.e. the author) and bring about benefit through his knowledge and through whatever he has put forth in books in addition to this one. And may the peace and salutations of Allah be upon our Prophet Muḥammad and upon his Family and his Companions.

Ṣāliḥ Ibn Fawzān Ibn 'Abdullah al-Fawzān

The Author's Introduction
he praise is for Allah and may the peace and salutations of Allah be upon the Messenger of Allah.
To proceed: Indeed, many of the people who ascribe to al-Islām in these times have been tried by this disgraceful characteristic. Its stem extends back to the mushrikin (polytheists) of al-Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic times of ignorance) and waging war against this characteristic is an objective from the objectives of the mission of the Messenger of Allāh C) to the world. This characteristic is the tribalism and racism from the times of al-Jahiliyyah, which are a starting point of departure from the Shariah and Judgement of Allah and these are a foundation of corruption in the Religion and worldly affairs of the people. When the Messenger of Allah () was sent, he obliterated this principle of al-Jahiliyyah by his noble actions and his exalted statements. Rather, when the noble Qur'an was sent down, it exonerated the principle of nobility in place of that tribalism and racism,
هُوَ سَمَّنكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا
"Allah named you Muslims before in former scriptures and in this Revelation." [Surah al-Hajj 22:78]
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَنْقَنَكُمْ
"Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." [Surah al-Hujurat 49:13
