The first verse he read was from Surah Al-Hujarat, in which God says:
„O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.“
The second verse he read was from Surah Ar-Rum:
„And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those who have knowledge.“
