Unity is the basis of Islamic theology: and therefore "Unity" is the ground of its philosophy in society. All humanity is one; a great unit. Its individuals are members of one unified society, which is so comprehensive that it includes all differences within its oneness. Individuals find within unity brotherhood, affection, friendliness and human blood-relationship which is of the essence.
Hence distinctions do not become differences -- not color, nor culture, nor class, nor customs. Mutual respect as fellow humans in pursuit of the common good is the rule throughout the world-wide society of Islam, without superiority or inferiority, since all mankind were created in one human soul to start with, from whom man and woman, black and white, poor and rich, civilized and savage, all evolve, sharing one common humanity.
Al Imam Ali (peace be upon him) left us the priceless legacy of the Nahj-al-Balagha, amongst which is his historic address to Malik Al-Ashtar in which he expresses this truth as follows: "Make your heart a throne of mercy towards your people. Show them perfect love and care. Never treat them as a ravening beast that tears and rends their properties and their persons. For they are in one of two groups. Either they are your brothers in Faith -or they are fellow-human beings." This broad view embraces all races, all cultures, all -tongues.
Islam treats mankind as one great family of brothers and sisters. In the human family the relationship of father and child is a stronger bond than that of brotherhood. But the qualities of respect and difference of age deprive the father-child relationship of full equality. That is why it is brotherhood which Islam promotes as the expression of the perfect and heartfelt affection which should reign within the human family. It should reign on the surface and in the depths. Brotherhood is therefore the Qur'an's call.
