A short Essay
E Q U A L I T Y
Written by BASHARAT TIRMIZI
God created ONE man, and from his rib, a woman. Since these two had not much to do, they began to reproduce. Man reproduced at an extraordinary pace. After only a few generations, there were quite a few people on Earth. To keep track of them, man decided to form groups according to bloodlines, areas in which they lived, color and creed. Mathematically speaking, this multiplication led to division.
But all mere were created by one Allah, and the father of all the men was just one man, so every man was equal to every other man. But not for long, soon the strong became more important than the weak, religious leaders more respectable than the disciples, white better than the black, Europeans more civilized than Africans. Man was divided in a million ways. Some became very important and some very very important, while some were forced to be the underdogs and most of them turned out to be the middle class on the imaginary social status ladder
Then money was invented, a new dimension in the status conscious minds of the Homo Sapien Sapiens. This made the rich better than the poor no matter what type of a person the poor was. If a direct descendant of a Prophet was poor, he was a nobody. So were the white, the strong, and the genius.
All poor became equal. While the rich raced to be even richer. Everybody wanted to be more important than the rest, in one way or the other. The race for inequality bred along side the breeding of the man himself.
Allah had created all men equal. Whereas man raced towards inequality, (man seems to be winning
since the beginning). In the end, when a person dies, rich, poor, strong, weak, black, white, intelligent, stupid, civilized or savage, all becomes eqaul once again, to each other and to nothing. Racism or the race for inequality dies with man.
God has the last laugh.
