Is Racism Still a Thing?

A believer in Allah and the Last Day shouldn’t even have a speck of racism, especially against new Muslims. Allah says in the Quran (49:13): “O humanity, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so you may know one another. The most honored among you in Allah’s sight is the most righteous.” I notice many reverts sharing their hurtful experiences here. Just remember, the only measure of superiority is piety. If someone makes you feel like less of a Muslim, walk away, and keep remembering Allah while you’re resting, sitting, or going about your day-you’ll find He’s the best to handle your affairs. Assalamu alaikum.

This verse always grounds me. Racism in the ummah is a real test, especially for reverts. Stay strong, folks. Allah sees your struggles.

MashaAllah, beautiful reminder. We gotta stand with our revert brothers and sisters. They're our family now, no ifs or buts.

Man, I'm a born Muslim and I see this nonsense sometimes. Culture mixes with religion and messes things up. Good on you for speaking out.

So true. When I went for Hajj, I saw racism from some guards towards African pilgrims. It made me sick. We must do better.

Salam brother. Your words hit deep. As a revert from Brazil, I've felt that sting too. But you're right, piety is what counts. JazakAllah khair.
