Summary:llah created human beings in the most beautiful way and with an amazing diversity. He created men and women from different ethnic groups and tribes. And He wants us to learn from this variety, from different shapes and colors so we can get to know one another (Quran 49: 13). Diversity is From Allah’s Mercy This variety is Allah’s mercy for us because through this variety He helps us to learn to be open minded, to be tolerant and to get rid of our prejudices and biases. There are not many possibilities to experience the different vibrant colors of our Muslim community. For those fortunate ones whom Allah has granted the pleasure to visit His holy house in Makkah, they might have experienced the amazing diversity Allah has put in His Muslim community. People from all over the world, from all corners of this earth follow His call.
