AB  - Ethnic diversity is one of Allah the Almighty’s 
  signs of His creation. Differences in terms of skin color, physical appearance 
  and language are some of the unique characteristics of human beings as part 
  of the beauty in Allah’s creation. 
  These differences should be perceived as part of the grace given by Allah to 
  the humankind. This appreciation towards Allah’s 
  gift must therefore be shown in the right way. One of the ways is through the 
  polite and civilized interaction among the various ethnic groups. The diversity 
  of certain nations is certainly significant because from the differences of 
  ethnicity different potentials will emerge that can be shared between various 
  ethnic groups in the concept of sharing. The differences in culture between 
  ethnics also show the different ideas and levels of intellectual, creativity 
  and innovation. Differences in thoughts and ideas also results in the beauty 
  and the uniqueness in terms of food, culture and science and technology. Unfortunately, 
  there is still prejudice from certain parties toward interaction between Muslims 
  and non-Muslims. To obtain information about this topic for this study, content 
  analysis method was used. The findings show that Islam has a clear policy when 
  interacting with others and at the same time, it preserves the rights of non-Muslims. 
  Each Muslim therefore has to respect their rights.
