The Friday Sermon: Colour in all creation
By Sayyid Qutb
Commentary by Friday 8 August 2008 (05 Sha`ban 1429)
The Surah also mentions people’s colours, which are not limited to the major categories that distinguish different racial groups. Indeed every human being has a distinctive colour separating him or her from the rest of their race. Indeed, it distinguishes each twin from the other. The same applies to animals and cattle. Cattle, which include camels, cows, sheep and goats, are mentioned as a separate category of fauna because they are much closer to man. They also demonstrate a similarly great diversity of colour.
