“O people, your Lord is one, and your father is one; is there no favor for an Arab over an Arab, nor for an Arab against an Arab, nor for a red against a black, nor for a black against a red except by piety?

All Mankind: One Tree, One Origin
Allah's Apostle said, "O mankind, your Lord is one, and your father is one; is there no favor for an Arab over an Arab, nor for an Arab against an Arab, nor for a red against a black, nor for a black against a red except by piety?

1. English (English)
"O people, your Lord is One and your father is one. Indeed, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab, nor a red man over a black man, nor a black man over a red man, except by piety. All of you are from Adam, and Adam is from dust."
2. French (Fran ais) Imam Ahmad (No. 23489).
"Ô gens ! Votre Seigneur est Unique et votre père est unique. Sachez qu'un Arabe n'a aucune supériorité sur un non-Arabe, ni un non-Arabe sur un Arabe, ni un homme blanc (rouge) sur un homme noir, ni un homme noir sur un homme blanc, si ce n'est par la piété. Vous descendez tous d'Adam, et Adam a été créé de poussière."
3. Spanish (Espa ol)
"¡Oh, gente! Ciertamente vuestro Señor es Uno y vuestro padre es uno. Un árabe no tiene superioridad sobre un no árabe, ni un no árabe sobre un árabe, ni un hombre de piel clara sobre uno de piel negra, ni un hombre de piel negra sobre uno de piel clara, excepto por la piedad. Todos vosotros descendéis de Adán, y Adán fue creado de polvo."
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
God created Adam from the grip of all the earth, and the children of Adam came upon the measure of the earth: there came from them red, white, and black, and between that, the easy, the sad, the malicious, and the good.

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Allah created Adam from a handful which He took from the whole of the earth; so the children of Adam are in accordance with the earth: some red, some white, some black, some of a mixture; also smooth and rough, bad and good."

Rapporté par Abou Moussa al-Ach'ari (qu'Allah l'agrée) : Le Messager d'Allah (ﷺ) a dit :
« En vérité, Allah a créé Adam d'une poignée qu'Il a prise de toute la terre. Ainsi, les enfants d'Adam sont venus selon [la nature de] cette terre : parmi eux le rouge, le blanc, le noir, et ce qui est entre les deux ; ainsi que le doux, le rude, le mauvais et le bon. »
This scientific research confirms that the diversity we see today in humans (from China to Europe to the jungles of Amazon) is nothing but "twigs" in one genetic tree.
The cornerstone of our contemporary understanding of human diversity. Tracing the origins of humans genetically reveals not only a “One Father” (Adam Y chromosome), but also an amazing journey of biological adaptation that changed the contours of humanity.
Here is a scientific breakdown of these points and how they complement each other:
1. The truth of "Adam" and dark skin color
Genetically, scientists consider that the original skin color of the earliest humans who lived in Africa (which is the likely habitat of the common father Adam) was very dark.
This dark coloring was a vital adaptation necessary to protect against strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the tropics, which can cause DNA damage and a deficiency of folic acid (necessary for reproduction).
2. The "original gene" and color transformation: latent diversity
You are quite right in describing that the "original gene has all colors." The enormous diversity we see today in the colors of humans was not created out of nothing, but is the result of the inherent genetic diversity that the common ancestor had.
How? We are not talking about a “single gene” for skin color, but rather about dozens of genes (such as SLC24A5 and KITLG) that interact together. Adam and his first offspring had a diverse stock of these genes in the form of “recessive traits” or “polymorphism.”
3. Adapting to the external medium: the journey of "conquest" in Europe
When human groups began to migrate from Africa towards northern regions (such as Europe), they faced an entirely new environment: much weaker sunlight. Here, dark skin color became a hindrance.
Vitamin D problem: Dark skin is very effective at blocking UV rays, but in the north, this meant the body was unable to make enough vitamin D (necessary for bone health and immunity), which requires exposure to sunlight.
Natural selection: In this environment, individuals with (by chance) genetic mutations that make their skin a little lighter were healthier and had more children, because they could absorb more sun and make vitamin D. Over thousands of years, these genes prevailed in those areas.
2. Study Confirmation: "Black Europeans 10,000 Years Ago"
The study I cited for Dr. Evelyn Heyer is a stark example of the accuracy of what she preferred. Ancient DNA analysis has allowed scientists to study humans who lived thousands of years ago.
Scientific surprise: Studies of human remains in Europe dating back to the Middle Stone Age (about 7,000 to 10,000 years ago), such as Cheddar Man in Britain, found that they had dark blue eyes and curly hair, but their skin was dark black.
This emphatically asserts that the modern European "white skin" trait is a relatively recent genetic evolution (evolving entirely within the last 10,000 years) and is not an inherent trait of the "first European human".
Bottom line and benefits of talking
1. Diversity of humans: The Hadith explains that the difference in human colors and temperaments is due to the origin of the soil from which Adam was created.
2. Equality in origin: All human beings are descended from one origin, there is no merit for anyone except by piety.
3. Scientific Miracle: The talk is compatible with the genetic and human diversity seen around the world.
4. Divine wisdom: In this variety is a sign of God's power and wisdom.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) says: “All of you are Adam, and Adam is of dust,” he decides on a fundamental truth, the unity of human destiny. Modern genomics confirms today that:
Ethnic differences (skin color, eye shape, etc.) are a very simple outer shell.
Genetically, humans are more than 99.9% identical.
Human diversity is nothing but branches of one tree started from one stem.
There are no “separate” races: science completely destroys racism because every man on the planet carries in his cells a genetic “signature” belonging to the same person.
Adam (the common ancestor) had dark skin.
His descendants carried complete genetic diversity (color stock) as latent traits.
When the external medium (immigration to the north) changes, natural selection favors the qualities that allow skin to lighten for survival (vitamin D).
The diversity we see today is branches of one tree whose features have been affected by wind, rain and sun over thousands of years, but the roots are the same.
This striking connection between the legitimate text ("all of you to Adam"), cosmic truths ("from the dust of the earth" in all its colors), and modern genetic discoveries, reinforces the certainty of the harmony of human knowledge.
Since the original skin color of humans was the same (which is very dark as I mentioned earlier), it is natural to wonder how other vast differences in facial features such as the shape of the eye and nose appear?
The scientific explanation for this is that it is the same genetic and adaptive principles (natural selection) that changed skin color, which changed the rest of the facial features based on "geographical positioning" and the surrounding medium.
