In Islam, the importance of inclusivity and hospitality towards all people is emphasized in various verses of the Quran and Hadiths. 🏵️🏵️
One of the core principles of Islam is that all people are equal in the eyes of God, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or social status.

The Quran describes that believers are those who "show kindness to parents, kinfolk, orphans, the poor, the neighbour who is near, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion at your side, the traveller, and the slaves whom your right hand possess." (4:36)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known for his welcoming nature and kind attitude towards people from all backgrounds.
The Quran states that the prophet's character was a "model to follow" for all believers (33:21) and he is described as having the most noble character (68:4).

In various Hadiths, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged Muslims to be hospitable and welcoming towards guests, regardless of their identity or background.
One Hadith states, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honour his guest" (Bukhari).
Another Hadith teaches, "The best of people are those that bring the most benefit to other people" (Tabarani).

In Islam, the mosque serves as a central gathering place for Muslims to worship and build community.
It is considered a sacred space that should be open to all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.
Muslims are encouraged to be welcoming and hospitable towards all visitors to the mosque, and to make them feel valued and respected.

Like Christianity, Islam recognizes the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone in the community.
Discrimination, judgment, and exclusion are not acceptable in Islam, and Muslims are encouraged to uphold the values of inclusivity, love, and mercy towards all people.

In the end, Muslims should strive to follow the example set by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and treat all people with kindness, hospitality, and respect, regardless of their identity or background.
