Does Islam promote the superiority of Arabs?

Islam is often confused with culture, and it is a common misconception that most Muslims are Arabs. Yet the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his early companions were Arabs and the language of the Qur'an and early Islamic scholarship was Arabic. So when a people become Muslim, are they required to reject their own culture and become more Arab? Does Islam promote the idea that Arab names, dress and culture are superior to others? This video clarifies Islamic teachings on diversity, racial equality, humility and universalism.

Navigate Islam is an initiative based in Australia that aims to promote mainstream and classical views held by the Muslim community. What started as a training program for young Muslims has now emerged into a network of thinkers and activists representing the tradition.

With the educational support of Nigerian mentor, Ustadh Nuruddeen Lemu, Navigate Islam seeks to enable people with the tools to traverse the challenges of a spiritual life in a world full of mixed messages about Islam.
