Was Prophet Muhmaad ( sws ) A Racist?

[Affan Khan]

There are some wild scratched claims that Prophet Muhmaad ( sws )  was a racist can anyone help me
And also I heard there are some hadiths talking on this matter
Black are bad something of that sort

[fadi]

Assalamo Alaikum,

This is incorrect.

(49:13) O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware.

(68:4) And Verily, you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted (standard of) character.

black slavery had been practised during the time of pagan arabs and even before that.
Islam came to spread equality of all races and diminish the mindset of having superior races of being the best created by God.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

In www.answering-christianity.com/quran_moral_code.htm, you'll find under entry 212 the following:

Do not be a racist or a bigot.  Do not judge people based on the way they've been created, or by their colors ان اكرمكم عند الله اتقاكم.  See Noble Verse 49:13.  Allah Almighty created mankind in different colors ومن الناس والدواب والانعام مختلف الوانه 35:28, and expects from all of us to treat each other with justice and equality based on our piety, character, conduct and merits.  We have to be fair and just, and fix and reconcile between people with justice.

See Noble Verses: 49:13, 2:44, 2:224, 3:21, 4:1, 4:114, 5:32, 14:1, 26:183, 34:28, 35:15, 35:28, 38:26, 42:42.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
