The Holy Quran 35:28 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلدَّوَآبِّ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ كَذَٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْعُلَمَـٰٓؤُا۟ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ

Translation

There is a similar variation of colours among people, creatures and animals. From Allaah's bondsmen (servants) it is only the learned ones (those who recognise Him and the Ulema who possess understanding) who fear Him (because they appreciate His powers and greatness). Verily Allaah is Mighty, Most Forgiving.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The different colours of creatures: all this is a description of the manifold wonders of [Allah's] power. Just as among plants, minerals and animals there are creatures of every colour, so among human beings too each is different in his own way.
