Islam didn’t negatively classify any race
The Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL) Al-Issa:
Islam didn’t negatively classify any race, rather the Holy Quran criticized the acts and conducts of some people as the Almighty Said “The desert Arabs say, “We believe.” Say, “Ye have no faith; but ye (only)say, ‘We have submitted our wills to Allah,’ For not yet has Faith entered your hearts.”
These people were singled out for this hadith and not all their nation or ethnicity as they did something that deserved this description.
Al-Issa explained in “Bialati Hia Ahsan” Talk-show aired on mbc1:
Fasting in Islam includes various legislative meanings that ensures the importance of the great fasting of religion, in Qudsi Hadith: “Every action of the son of Adam is his except fasting, for it is mine and I reward it.”
The Secretary General of (MWL) stressed that Islam must be combined with faith, and that fasting is surrender of the soul to Allah, as who sold and surrendered himself to Allah.
