This
new documentary film from National Geographic explains the Human Genome
Project. Studies of the genetic markers within our DNA have uncovered
the true story of our ancestry. Every human being alive on the planet
today is descended from a single father and mother. Our ancient parents
lived about 50,000 years ago in East Africa and their arrival signalled a
new chapter in the planets history. Endowed with the power of
conceptual thought - they would quickly multiply and spread to dominate
all corners of the planet, developing the skills and technology
necessary to thrive in every environment on earth. This new documentary
film follows the trail of their amazing journey.
49:13 O men! Behold, We have created you all out of a male and a female,
["We
have created every one of you out of a father and a mother" - implying
that this equality of biological origin is reflected in the equality of
the human dignity common to all.]
49:13 - and have made you into nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another.
[i.e.
know that all belong to one human family, without any inherent
superiority of one over another. This connects with the exhortation in
the preceding verses to respect and safeguard each other's dignity. In
other words, our evolution into "nations and tribes" is meant to foster
rather than to diminish our mutual desire to understand and appreciate
the essential human oneness underlying our outward differentiations;
and, correspondingly, all racial, national or tribal prejudice ('as
abiyyah) is condemned - implicitly in the Quran - and most explicitly by
the Prophet. Speaking of people's boasting of their national or tribal
past, the Prophet said:
"Behold, God has removed from you the
arrogance of pagan ignorance (jahiliyyah) with its boast of ancestral
glories. Man is but a God-conscious believer or an unfortunate sinner.
All people are children of Adam, and Adam was created out of dust."
(Fragment of a hadith quoted by Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud, on the authority
of Abu Hurayrah.)
28:15
And one day he entered the city at a time when most of its people were
resting in their houses, unaware of what was going on in the streets;
and there he encountered two men fighting with one another - one of his
own people, and the other of his enemies. And the one who belonged to
his own people cried out to him for help against him who was of his
enemies - whereupon Moses struck him down with his fist, and thus
brought about his end. But then he said to himself: "This is of Satan's
doing! Verily, he is an open foe, leading [man] astray!"
[These
verses seem to indicate that it was the Israelite, and not the Egyptian,
who had been in the wrong. Apparently, Moses had come to the assistance
of the Israelite out of an instinctive sense of racial kinship without
regard to the rights and wrongs of the case; but immediately afterwards
he realized that he had committed a grave sin not only by killing,
however inadvertently, an innocent person, but also by basing his action
on a mere tribal - or, as we would describe it today, racial or
national prejudice. Evidently, this is the lesson of the above Quranic
segment of the story of Moses. Its moral has been stressed and explained
by the Prophet on many occasions: his famous saying:
"He is not
of us who proclaims the cause of tribal partisanship (asabiyyah); and
he is not of us who fights in the cause of tribal partisanship; and he
is not of us who dies in the cause of tribal partisanship" (Abu Dawud,
on the authority of Jubayr ibn Mut'im). When he was asked to explain the
meaning of "tribal partisanship", the Prophet answered, "It means
helping thine own people in an unjust cause"
