Al Quran, Chapter 49, V. 13 states:-
O men! Behold we have created you all out of a male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of God is the one who is most deeply conscious of Him. Behold God is all-knowing all-aware.
 
Preamble-  Whereas the age-old human aspiration for a just world order wherein people could live, develop and prosper in an environment free from fear, oppression, exploitation and deprivation, remains largely unfulfilled;
 
Whereas the Divine Mercy unto Mankind reflected in its having been endowed with super-abundant economic substance is being wasted, or is unfairly or unjustly withheld from the inhabitants of the earth;
 
Whereas Allah (God) has given mankind His revelations in the Holy Qur’an the Sunnah  Of His Blessed Prophet Mohamed an abiding legal and moral framework within which to establish and regulate human institutes and relationships;.
 
Whereas the human rights decreed by the Divine Law aim at conferring dignity and honour on mankind and are designed to eliminate oppression and injustice;
 
Whereas by virtue of their Divine source and sanction, these rights can neither be curtailed abrogated or disregarded by authorities assemblies or institutions, nor can be surrendered or alienated;
 
 Therefore we as Muslims who believe :
a.. in God, the Beneficent and the Merciful, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Sovereign, the sole Guide of mankind and the source of all Law;
.b. in the Vicegereney (Khalifa) of man who has been created to fulfill the will of God on earth;
 c. in the wisdom of Divine guidance brought by the Prophets, whose missions found in its culmination in
     the final Divine message that was conveyed by the Prophet Mohamed (peace be on him) to all
     mankind;
 d. the rationality by itself without the light of revelation from God can neither be a sure guide in the
     affairs of mankind nor provide spiritual nourishment to the human soul, and, knowing that the
     teachings of Islam represents the quintessence of Divine guidance in its final and perfect form, feel
     duty bound to remind man of the high status and dignity bestowed on him by God.
e. in inviting all mankind to the message of Islam.
f. that by the terms of our primeval covenant with God, our duties and obligations have priority over our
   rights, and that each one of us is under a bounden duty to spread the teachings of Islam by word, deed,
   and indeed in all gentle ways, and to make them effective not only in our individual lives but also in the
   society around us.
g. in our obligation to establish an Islamic order;
    i. wherein all human beings shall be equal and none shall enjoy a privilege or suffer a disadvantage or
   discrimination by race, colour, sex origin or language.
