Freedom of
conscience is laid down by the Qur'an itself: `There is no
compulsion in religion'. The life and property of all
citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether a
person is a Muslim or not. Islam is a religion for all
people from whatever race or background they might be. The
sense of brotherhood and sisterhood was so much emphasized
that it overcome all local attachments to a particular
tribe, race, or language. Al of which become subservient to
the universal brotherhood and sisterhood of Islam.
The Qur'an says:
`O mankind! We created you
from a single soul, male and female, and made you into
nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one
another. Truly, the most honored of you in God's sight is
the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing,
All-Aware.'(49:13)
