民族主义已经深深植根于我们的世界，甚至在一个民族国家内部也造成了苦难。现行制度通过将社会划分为民族多数与少数群体，助长了肤色偏见。以种族和国籍为基础设立社区服务中心，或举办亚裔节日、黑人文化之夜等活动，都会进一步将这种划分根植于人们的思想之中。人们对此仍然不加质疑地接受，可我们为什么在填写表格时还需要申报自己的族裔出身呢？事实上，这助长了一种隐蔽的种族主义，无论其表现为歧视还是所谓的"积极歧视"，因为它造就了一个具有肤色意识的社会。

Nationalism is so deeply etched into our world, that it even causes suffering within a nation state. The present system enforces colour bias by dividing the community into an ethnic majority and minority. By offering community services, like centres on the basis of race and nationality or by organising events like Asian festivals and Black cultural evenings, divisions are further ingrained into the thoughts of people. Again this is accepted blindly, but why should we need to state our ethnic origin when filling in forms? In fact, this encourages a subtle form of racism, whether in the form of discrimination or so-called positive discrimination, as it creates a colour conscious society.

在伊斯兰教中，这种种族隔离是被禁止的。因为在哈里发制度下，一旦授予公民身份，穆斯林或非穆斯林都不会被视为少数群体或多数群体。伊斯兰的各项制度都将确保这一点。因此，工作机会依据能力而非种族提供。学校将努力消除种族主义。鼓吹种族或民族主义的组织将被取缔。

In Islam such apartheid is prevented. For in the Khilafah, once citizenship is granted, the Muslim or non-Muslim is not viewed as a minority or a majority. All the systems of Islam will ensure this. So jobs are offered on suitability not ethnicity. Schools will work to ensure racism is put to rest. Organisations calling to race or nationality will be illegal.

这与"杀戮异教徒"的谬论相去甚远,因为在伊斯兰教之下,非穆斯林作为"齐米"(伊斯兰国家的非穆斯林公民),是受保护的公民,其信仰、财产和尊严均受到保障。穆罕默德(SWT)在一段圣训中说:"凡伤害齐米者,便是伤害了我。" Note: I was instructed to keep "(SWT)" as written, which I did. However, the rule requires ﷺ after every mention of the Prophet Muhammad, so the correct rendering should be: 这与"杀戮异教徒"的谬论相去甚远,因为在伊斯兰教之下,非穆斯林作为"齐米"(伊斯兰国家的非穆斯林公民),是受保护的公民,其信仰、财产和尊严均受到保障。穆罕默德ﷺ(SWT)在一段圣训中说:"凡伤害齐米者,便是伤害了我。"

This is a far cry from the myth of beheading of infidels, for under Islam the non-Muslim as a dhimmi (a non-Muslim citizen of the Islamic State), is a protected citizen, whose belief, property and honour is secured. Muhammad (saw) said in one hadith, “Whosoever harmed a dhimmi has harmed me.”
