The religion of Islam proclaimed the first real democracy ever conceived in the minds of men. Islam is essentially a religion which propagated democracy and social equality. All the believers are equal and this fundamental equality is not a fiction as is so common among Christianity. It is accepted and real. The Hungarian Professor Dr Germanus, a great scholar, writes,
The Great Germany Loved even   Adolf Hitler the great Loved Islam   now I  Surprised  what is going on Germany
Islam imposes no restrictions on any individual enterprise towards amelioration of his status while it regulates the duties and rights towards his fellowmen. The respect and observance of Islamic social laws are a safety-valve against disruptive theories. These teachings are pillars of every sound society. They condemn selfish exploitation of the helpless and severely punish theft and robbery. No slogans or hatred but serious work and self-discipline all represented by the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet will pave the way towards the renaissance of the Islamic people.
No other society has such a record of success in uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity and of endeavour, so many and so various races of mankind. Islam has been more successful in mitigating race prejudice than other universal creeds. There is absolutely no colour bar for marriage. Islam has never known class-struggle and social hatred. It has banned human hatred and opened the way for human brotherhood and equality, whereas the western civilisation is still unable to look beyond narrow horizons of racial and national antagonism.
When shall the modern nations place love of man above love of the world? There can be no democracy without love of man as a man. This democracy is the very essence of Islam. That faith makes Islam a Brotherhood, an International Brotherhood, a fellowship of many races and tribes.
