Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer should deter one from indecency and wickedness. The remembrance of Allāh is an even greater deterrent. And Allāh fully knows what you all do.

All mankind is from ʾĀdamعليه السلام (Adam) and Hawwā (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 black nor a black has any superiority over white except bypiety (taqwa) 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.
