This essay is about how Islam views racism. It gives an example on how racism came to be and how it effects society today.

The list of words which describe racism in our world is endless. According to the Oxford dictionary racism is the "belief in superiority of particular race; antagonism towards other races". From this simple definition comes so much hatred. The belief that one particular race is superior to another, has led to injustice and cruelty against fellow humans. Racism is like a disease. It just spreads from one person to another. Everyone has their own theory …

…the Devil. It was at this time in the history of the world, that racism first came to be. The shaytan was the world's first racist! Ever since Iblis's refusal to bow down to Adam, the world has seen an increase in racism. As Muslims we know that to defeat racism means to defeat Iblis, the Devil, and to defeat the devil we have to get as many people as we can to follow Islam.
