O mankind! We created you from male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may (get to) know one another. Verily, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you... (Surah Hujurat, 39:13)
Alhamdulillah, the Muslim Ummah is vast with a rich cultural heritage. From China to Jamaica and everywhere in between - you can find Muslims and masjids too! Islam embraces cultural diversity. It sets the foundational rules of living but embraces diversity within that framework. For example, there are general Islamic dress codes for men and women to abide by. Though, what colour the dress is, how it is embellished, the design and style can all be variable, distinct and unique. This is where culture comes in and the diversity in the Muslim ummah is its beauty.
