In Islam there are no discriminations of caste, clan, creed or colour. Every human being deserves equal right in Islam. This idea led Islam to rise very quickly as one of the major religions of world. Ironically when Islam started to travel in different part of worlds it started to absorb distinct characters in distinct regions. As an evolutionary progression Islam got caste-based stratifications in the Indian subcontinent, nomadic area based stratification in Afghanistan and central Asia and language based stratifications in Europe. Islam fundamentally opposed any type of distinctions like caste, race or colour between human beings. Caste refers to ‘’ a hierarchy of endogamous groups in a characteristic division of labourer” . While Islam stands for total equality among all human beings and group in social and religious spheres. The Quaranic philosophy does not allow any type of distinctions based on caste , race and colour but when Islam spread in distant lands, some sort of stratifications emerged in the new fold of Islam and the stratifications absorbed the regional nature and create a new type of Islam which got some contradictory nature on it.
