The readings included the verse from the Koran and couple of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad:

"O people, We have created you from a male and a female and made you into races and tribes so that you may know each other. Indeed, the noblest of you in the sight of God are those who are the most pious among you." (Al-Hujarat: 13)

"All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves." (from Farewell Sermon)

"You shall not enter paradise until you have faith, and you will not have faith until you love each other. Shall I direct you to something which if you fulfill you will love one another? Spread peace among yourselves." (Sahih Muslim)
