What does Islam say about equality?

Question

What does Islam say about equality?

Answer

'Equality' in all spheres is a myth. It is a mythical concept of the western kuffaar. The Qur'aan negates this myth. In fact, the Qur'aan confirms that even the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam) are not equal in status. A son is not the equal of his parents. A student is not the equal of his Ustaad. A mureed is not the equal of his Shaikh. The wife is not the equal of her husband. The Qur'aan makes it abundantly clear that Allah Ta'ala has given some status above others. Man and woman are not equal.
