يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ [Al-Hujuraat : 13]

(49:13) Human beings, We created you all from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you. *28 Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. *29

Verse 49:23 explained with examples

Xxxxxxxxxx

In this verse the whole of mankind bas been addressed to reform it of the great evil that has always been causing universal disruption in the world, that is, the prejudices due to race, colour, language, country, and nationality.

Translation of Surah Al-Hujurat, Verse 13:

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.”

Interpretation:

This verse addresses all of humanity, highlighting the significant misguidance that has historically led to widespread corruption in the world. Throughout history, humans have tended to create small circles around themselves, often disregarding the broader concept of humanity. Those born within these circles are considered “us,” while those born outside are deemed “others.”

These circles are not based on any moral or ethical foundations but rather on the coincidence of birth. Sometimes, they are formed based on being born into a particular family, ethnicity, or geographical region, or even sharing a specific skin color or language. Consequently, the discrimination established on these bases has not only led to favoritism towards those deemed “us” but has also fostered hatred, enmity, and division among people.

Philosophies have been constructed, religions invented, laws established, and moral principles defined to justify this discrimination. Nations and governments have adopted these ideologies as their guiding principles and have implemented them throughout history.
