Almost fifteen hundred years ago, the Holy Qur’an succinctly stated in verse 49:13 that God created us from a male and a female and made us into different nations and tribes so that we get to know each other. In the Qur’anic context of this verse, it is clear that “knowing each other” means to communicate, cooperate, and celebrate each other’s differences. It does not mean to subordinate other cultures, or take a supremacist view of them.
