"Indeed Allah has removed from you the blind loyalties of jahiliyyah and the pride for ancestry. Either be a pious believer or a miserable insolent. (All of) you are children of Adam, and Adam is from dust. Let some men cease to take pride in others, who are nothing but burning coal for the HellFire, it will be easier for Allah to handle them than a dung beetle driving his nose into filth". Ahmad.

When, based on competence, the Prophet Muhammad appoints a twenty year old son of a former slave as the military commander over others, including the elders, such as Abu Bakr and Umar, the discerning people do see the principle of Islam at work. When the Prophet proclaims that everyone is equal before the law by making it categorical that even if his own daughter committed theft (or a crime), she would be meted out the penalty in a non-partisan manner, it set a new milestone for the rule of law.



Once Umar, the second of the rightly guided caliphs, was giving the Jumuah (Friday) sermon, an ordinary person rose and interrupted by saying, O the leader of the believers, I won't listen to your sermon until you explain how did you come up with your long dress (arabian robe). Apparently, there was some distribution of fabric to the people and given the measure of distribution and the height of Umar, he could not have made a dress out of his share. So, a vigilant voice of egalitarianism unhesitatingly challenged Umar, the leader of a vast caliphate. Umar's son stood up, explaining that he gave his share to his father, so that a Umar-size dress could be made. The vigilant voice then expressed his appreciation and sat down, and Umar resumed his sermon.
