It is only to serve this unavoidable demand for the correct under- standing of the Great Events that some of the important factors con- nected with the Great Tragedy, are herewith given with the maxi- mum possible brevity, leaving the other details for a deeper study of the subject by those interested in it.

The Whole Human Race- One Family HUMANITY OR THE human race as a whole, was originally one family, consisting of the children of one and the same parents, which fact had long been forgotten and even today, in many parts of the world, it is totally neglected and has become practically un- known.

Leaving aside the wild tribes of the wilderness of Africa, one cannot help sorrowfully and disgracefully citing the living instance of the treatment which the coloured members of the human family, receive from the white ones of the same lineage, inspite of the latter s lofty claim to the high standard of civilization and culture.

The truth about the unity of the human race as a whole was declared to the world, most expressively and epeatedly, for the first time by the Holy Qur'an:- "All human beings are a single nation.. ". 2:213 "And human beings are naught bitt a single nation and yet they disagree..." 0:19 " And verily this your nation (the human beings) is a single nation... 21 :92 "And verily this your nation (the human beings) is a single nation.

." 23:52 No other scripture prior to the Qur' an and no leader of any Faith before the Holy Prophet of Islam, had so expressly and emphatically preached this Truth. How the Human Family Got Divided GROUPS OF THE members of the human family moved in various directions, searching for a better living for themselves and their livestock and inhabited the various parts of the globe as they found them helpful to their interest.

According to the kinds of places they occupied, the need of one settlement naturally differed from the other. The various climates of the different places, gradually affected the original features and the complexion of the different groups in the different places of their respective habitations. The ways and the means ofliving also, ofthe group in one place naturally differed from that of the others in the other parts of the earth.

Those who settled in the tropical zones got their skins sun-burnt and grew to be black, and those in the cold climates remained white in their complexion.
