As-Salamu Alaykum to all Muslim Brothers and Muslim Sisters here and hello to the Non Muslims Brothers and Sisters in Humanity Members of the Human Family how are you all ?
I found this quote from W. Deen Mohammed "We should realize that the first identity is not an African or a European or a Saudi. The first identity is a human being. ... [W]e should just make all the progress we can, separately and all together."
Does this agree with Islam as far as Identity ?
I do because I believe in a Color Blind Society Im not saying this means Racism does not exist or we can't talk about it m saying we should all Members of the Human Race and we should not divide the Human Family with Racis our Identity should be as Human Beings not as White Black or Asian does anyone agree with me ?

Letter from Mecca
Malcolm X
April, 1964
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered 'white'--but the 'white' attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam. I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color.
You may be
shocked by these words coming from me. But on this pilgrimage, what I have seen,
and experienced, has forced me to re-arrange much of my thought-patterns
previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. This
was not too difficult for me. Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a
man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience
and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is
necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of
intelligent search for truth.
During the
past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate,
drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed (or on the same rug)--while
praying to the same God--with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest
of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of
white. And in the words and in the actions in the deeds of
the 'white' Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black
African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana.
We were
truly all the same (brothers)--because their belief in one God had
removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior,
and the white from their attitude.
I could see
from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then
perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man--and cease
to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their 'differences' in
color.

Racism is not allowed in Islam, for the Quran speaks
of human equality in the following terms:
O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female and have made you into nations and tribes for you to know one another. Truly, the noblest of you with God is the most pious. Truly, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(Quran, 49:13)

Prophet Muhammad's
Last Sermon
Date delivered: 632 A.C., 9th day of Dhul al
Hijjah, 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

The name of our religion is Islam.
Islam is the religion for the whole of mankind.
There is only one God and his name is Allah. He has no partners and he has no family.
To help people practice Islam, Allah has sent many prophets to mankind.
All prophets preached Islam and they prayed to Allah.
All the prophets were human. The first prophet was the prophet Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). Some well known prophets are Prophet Abraham, Prophet Noah, Prophet Ishmael, Prophet Isaac, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus - the son of Mary, and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them all). The prophet Muhammad (born 571 - died 632 A.D.) was the last of the prophets, there will be no prophets after him.

"Narrated Uqbah Bin Aamir: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: These lineages of yours do not make you superior to anyone. You are all sons of Adam.

"Abu Huraira said: Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: Indeed,Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds." (Sahih Muslim, #2564).

(1) Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah, Most High, has removed from you the pride of
the pre-Islamic period and its boasting in Ancestors. One is only a pious believer or a miserable
sinner. You are sons of Adam, and Adam came from Dust.
Let the people cease to boast about their Ancestors. They are merely fuel in Jahannam; or they
will certainly be of less account with Allah than the beetle which rolls dung
with its nose. (Book #41,
Hadith #5097)
