Attitude towards Wrong

"If anyone sees a wrong let him change it with his hands,
If he cannot then let him change it with his voice,
If he cannot let him hate it ( the wrong ) in his heart,
And beyond that there is no faith."

Muhammad ( PBUH )

Piety

"An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab
nor a non-Arab over an Arab
and a white person has no superiority over a black person,
nor a black person over a white person
- except by piety and good action"

- Muhammad(pbuh)

In the cave of Mt. Hira

The voice said to him,

"Read in the name of thy Lord,

who Created.

Created humankind from an embryo..."


"...Read,

for your Lord is most Generous,

He taught humanity by the pen.

Taught it,

that which it knew not..."


The voice said,

"Muhammad,
I am Gabriel,
And you are the Messenger of God"
