ENDNOTES

1 Nelson Mandela (the first president of democratic South Africa) is a great example for struggle against apartheid and discrimination among people of different races. South Africa became a country in which all people live together as one nation united in their diversity. Quran teachings confirm fact God created humankind from different nations and tribes so that they may know one another. A white man has no superiority over a non-white man except by piety (and visa versa). "Verily the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah, is the most pious. Verily Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.”

3 Prophet Muhammad indicated that at the Day of Judgment, God will be the foe for those who hire workers and don’t pay them their wages. Prophet Muhammad emphasized that wages must be paid for workers before their sweat dries. Wages cannot be delayed and must be paid immediately after finishing work.
