Question:
He asks: Is there any virtue for the Arabs over the rest of the people, the non-Arabs?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you"
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.يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ
[Al-Hujurat 49:13]
They said: "Shu'ub" means the non-Arabs, and "qabā'il" means the Arabs. "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no virtue for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a white person over a black person, except by taqwa (mindfulness of Allah)." Yes.
