"When men spread themselves over the earth,
And became many nations
Speaking diverse languages,
And observing diverse customs and laws;
The evils became multiplied
As one race or nation
Became alienated from one another
The Brotherhood of Men was now doubly forgotten, -
First, between individuals, and secondly, between nations
Arrogance, selfishness, and untruth
Were sown and reaped in larger fields;
And Peace, Faith, Love and Justice
Were obscured over masses of men,
As large tracts of land were starved
Of sunshine by clouds floating far and high."

Surah Fatiha, Ayat 5
