In one verse, Allah reveals that people must not be judged according to their race, color or ethnic origin, but rather by their morality:
O humanity! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in Allah's Sight is the one of you who best performs his duty. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surat al-Hujurat, 13)
The expression "so that you might come to know each other" reveals Allah's wisdom in creating different races and ethnic origins: Different tribes or nations, all of whom are Allah's servants, must get to know one another--in other words, learn about each other's different cultures, languages, customs and abilities. One of the intentions behind the existence of different races and nations is cultural richness, not war or conflict.
The moral values and rules revealed by Allah in this and certain other verses absolutely prevent a Muslim from engaging in racism or judging people by their race. There is no superiority based on blood or race in the Turkish-Islamic Union. The superiority in this union is one of moral virtue. The aim behind its being founded under Turkish leadership is that the Turkish nation is the country that best embodies Islam and possesses the quality of leadership. The Turkish nation is courageous and virtuous. That is why it must be the leader. There will be a union of moral virtues when the Turkic-Islamic countries unite together. And it will be established with the aim of serving the Islamic world and the world in general. The idea is one of serving other religions and races, not of oppressing them. There is the idea of enriching other races and bringing well-being, peace and freedom to other faiths. Our Prophet (saas) says, "The Persian is not superior to the Arab, nor the Arab to the Persian. Superioriity lies in piety alone." What is therefore being referred to here is the courage, fortitude, moral virtue, warmth, hospitality, self-sacrifice and heroism of the Turkish nation. They rendered the world great services during the time of the Ottoman Empire. And since it is the natural leader of the Islamic world now and is in a position to bring the Turkic and Islamic states together, it will be the leader; but not in the sense of any racial or genetic superiority, or any superiority of bloodline.
