Learning Objective:
- To understand how our differences make us unique and
help us to learn about each other

Quran Verse:
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and
female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed,
the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Surah Hujurat 49:13
Allah created each of us different on the outside and
that is what makes us unique with different hair, different skin colour,
different language, culture and interests. We are all wonderful creations of
the most amazing artist! Allah tells us in the Quran 49:13 that He ‘made us
into nations and tribes, so that we may know one another’. Our differences help
us to learn interesting and beautiful things about each other. It would be so
boring if we were all the same!
To Allah it doesn’t matter what we look like. As human beings we are all the same. Allah teaches us in the same Quran verse that it is only our faith and actions that make us better or worse before Him. He only cares if our heart inside is full of goodness.
Activity:
1. Place a white egg and a brown egg in a bowl on the table.
2. What do you notice about the eggs?
How are they different?
How are they the same?
What do you think each egg looks like inside?
Do you
think the brown egg is brown on the inside or the white is white on the inside?
3. Crack the two eggs.
Are they different on the inside?
When the eggs are cooked together, will you be able to tell which parts of the eggs had the white shell and which had the brown shell? The colour of the outside makes no difference to the appearance or taste of the egg on the inside.
We can not judge a person from their outside appearance. To Allah the goodness of your heart is more important.
