The Rejection of Discrimination and Racism in the Prophetic Sīrah: A Comparative Study of Prophetic Leadership and the Approaches of Past and Contemporary Rulers

Abstract

This article explores the rejection of discrimination and racism in the Prophetic Sīrah, highlighting the ethical model exemplified by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It examines his humility, his affirmation of the rights of slaves and freed persons, and his practical demonstration of forbearance, modesty, and forgiveness in social conduct. The study emphasizes the Prophet’s consistent advocacy for manumission and human freedom, which directly challenged prevailing social hierarchies and reinforced the principle of universal human dignity. Furthermore, the article offers a comparative perspective by examining Prophetic leadership alongside the approaches of past and contemporary rulers. It argues that the Prophetic model provides a timeless and practical ethical framework for addressing racism and promoting justice in diverse societies. Through this analysis, the study underscores the enduring relevance of the Prophetic Sīrah as a guide for fostering equality, compassion, and social harmony.
