There is no Caste System in Islam. All human beings are equal in the sight of
Islam except by piety ( God Consciousness)..
God says ". O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you. Quran ch 4:1"
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of 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). Quran 49:13
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said " A Rich has no superiority over a poor,neither a white over a black nor an arab over non- arab except by piety.
Quran Address people as Oh son of Adam.. that we all are descendents of Prophet Adam and Eve (May Allah be pleased with them).
To conclude: Islam is against caste system based on color,Family , Riches etc..
Closest in the sight of God is the one who is pious
True. Following lines may be added. Technically or theoretically speaking, there is no caste system in Islam. Anyhow, with the passage of time some tribes have set better standards of conduct than the others. So, socially, they are accepted to be a little better than the average. Our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) belonged to a noble family of Quraish, which was considered more honorable than many other tribes of Makka.
