Nik Aziz on Islam's allergy to race-based supremacy
Harakahdaily 13.1.11
KOTA BHARU, Jan 13: In remarks believed to be targeted at UMNO and its right wing offshoot Perkasa, PAS Murshidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (pic) reminded that Islam came with a mission to remove any form of racial supremacy and replace it with supremacy based on one's fear of God.
Saying both Muslims and non-Muslims must understand this aspect of Islam, Nik Aziz said the practice of Prophet Muhammad proved that leadership was not based on one's skin colour or race.
"In the Hereafter, there will only be three divisions (of human beings): the faithful, the hypocrites and those who reject God," said Nik Aziz.
Nik Aziz said in pre-Islamic Arab society, the Ethiopians were looked down by the Arabs due to their background as slaves who would be traded.
Nik Aziz said the Prophet had deliberately stated that a black slave could also become a leader and deserved to be obeyed.
As such, the Kelantan Menteri Besar called on those who kept harping on the concept of racial supremacy to immediately put an end to such discourse, saying it was not only against human rights but was also contrary to the teachings of Islam.
