Equality and Fairness: Key Tenets
We believe in the importance of equality and fairness for a just society. Equality means treating everyone the same, no matter their situation. But equity acknowledges that people face different challenges and may need different help to succeed.
Islamic teachings say all humans are equal before Allah. We should treat each other with respect and dignity. By fighting for equality and fairness, we can build a better world. This means tackling issues like racial bias in justice and making sure everyone gets a fair share.

- Addressing systemic issues such as racial bias and discrimination
- Promoting inclusivity and valuing diversity
By focusing on equality and fairness, we aim for a society where everyone can succeed. We will keep working towards this goal. We will uphold human rights and civil rights, and foster a culture of inclusivity and respect.
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Equality | Treating everyone the same regardless of their circumstances or needs |
| Equity | Recognizing that individuals have different circumstances and may require varying levels of support to achieve the same goals |
| Human Rights | Universal rights that belong to all human beings, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, or religion |
| Civil Rights | Rights that belong to citizens of a particular country or state, and are protected by law |
