There is no doubt that Allah could have made one humanity if that had been the plan. Instead, from the beginning of our lives, we have been in a race toward all that is good. Our primary existence started in a race against another 4 million sperm to reach the egg in the womb of our mothers to be born. It is in our nature to strive as in a race in this world. Allah created us with differences so we can all get to know one another as we strive in this world. This world is filled with challenges, differences, and tests. All of these variances are for our growth and development. For those who seek to know Allah and do what Allah would have them to do, Allah admits them into his Mercy based on Allah's criterion for individuals who make up different communities. When we embrace our differences and optimize our gifts and talents to serve Allah's cause, we collectively create a better world daily. The world needs more of us to contribute our part to the fabric of our societies, especially when we count ourselves among the best of communities brought out for mankind as Muslims. We must be strong in our belief in the mercy of Allah for mankind, and as he says, he admits into his mercy whoever he wills. We should desire to be among those who receive more from Allah based on our efforts knowing that Allah will reward us according to our deeds. We want to stay far away from being among the wrongdoer who will not have a protector because they refuse to seek guidance and truth from Allah to be among the best of creation. We all have been given limited free will to make choices for which we will be held accountable.
