Black or White?

Hi.
Is there difference between people that have black skin and people that have white skin?

Of course. The latter need to give more money in sunscreens when they go to the beach.

Quran says that difference between the color of peopel's skin is a Sign of God, not a difference between people themselves.
Quran, 30: 22 "And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours, verily in that are Signs for those who know."

I would say it is a sign for those who do not know. There are much more mundane explanations for our different complexion and language.

So, what makes someone better than another one?
Quran, 49: 13 " O mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). "

Were those man and female human? If yes, then He could not possibly have created humanity from that man and human.

Yes.There are mundane explanations for our different complexion and language. Hence, there is this sentence in 30: 22, "verily in that are Signs for those who know".
For those who know scientific explanations for this difference.
For those who know benefits of dark and light skin color for people that live in more sunny and less sunny places, respectively.
And above all, for those who know God has created nature and its laws by his great knowledge.
Holy Qur'an 35: 28 "And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, are they of various colours. Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving."

Oft-forgiving? What about oft-mighty and all-forgiving? Lol.

By the way, what does that mean? Does cattle fear Allah? I Am Swiss. I did not have the impression our cattle got a panic attack when we prohibited the constructions of minarets in Switzerland. Maybe we should have included the cows in the poll, who knows?


Since Adam and Eve were humans, allegedely, then they constituted humanity at that time. Therefore, they cannot have been the originators of humanity, being members thereof.

Those in " Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge ", refers to His Servants, and in this verse, servants of God are humans, not all creaturs like cattles, etc.
Servants of God are who: Quran 25: 63.And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!" 72.Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance).

Holy Quran says that all humans are offsprings of Adam and Eve.
