EQUALITY HAS A GREAT IMPORTANCE
The most important element in the entire value system of religion Islam is the principle of equality. Religion Islam teaches that in the sight of ALLAH Almighty, all human beings are equal, but they are not identical. There are differences of potentials, abilities, wealth, ambitions and so on.
The limitations are natural. The social limitations included those imposed by society or community as a result of practice and experience. The stock of man, the amount of wealth he has and the colour of his skin and the degree of value or prestige he enjoys have no bearing on the personality and character of the individual as far as ALLAH Almighty is concerned. The distinction, which ALLAH Almighty recognizes is the distinction in pious and piety; the criterion which ALLAH applies, is the criterion of spiritual and goodness excellence.
In Islam, no nation is created above or below to other nations. The differences of colour, race or social status are only incidental. There are articles of faith in religion Islam, which the Muslim takes very honestly and seriously and to which a true Muslim must adhere sincerely. The foundations or basis of this Islamic custom and value of equality are deeply rooted in the entire structure of Islam.
Islam does not only emphasize the principle of equality theoretically, but it practically applies in the acts of worship like in the mosques where five times daily namaz is held daily five times and all people either they are from different cast, having different colours, language, looks stand with each other without any superiority factory just to worship ALLAH Almighty, equality is practically exercised and all the differences envy, hatred removes or vanishes among people. Whoever came to the Masjid first, took his position in the front rows despite of any financial status or position, and whoever reach late in Masjid, his place behind the forward rows. In the prayer's rows, the poor and rich, the knowledgeable and the person with no knowledge or illiterate, with white colour or with dark skin tone, all are the in sight of ALLAH Almighty.
All Muslims worship ALLAH Almighty by facing similar direction.We can see the implication of equality in the holy land where the annual pilgrimage Hajj and the non obligatory pilgrimage Umrah is performed, the equality is very stronger and clearer that is because during daily namaz people may differ in their clothes and colour of clothing but during both pilgrimages the Ihram clothing is necessary and every one has to wear simple white coloured clothes in a prescribed way which equates the poor and rich and vanish all the differences, the governor and governed, the rich and poor all circulate (Tawaaf) around the Holy Kaaba to worship ALLAH Almighty.
