The Peaceful Coexistence of the Heavenly Religions in the Light of the Qur'an and the Prophetic Traditions.

Abstract

The inherent diversity among human beings, established by divine will, has led to differences in individuals and perspectives. However, this diversity does not necessitate a life of conflict and strife. The innate nature of human beings, upon which they are created, does not in itself create problems or distance between nations. The differences in beliefs, cultures and customs are a divine norm that cannot be eliminated. In order to achieve security and peace among nations, Islamic law has regulated this relationship and established solid principles that ensure coexistence, peace and security among peoples regardless of their religious differences.

This study aims to elucidate the principles on which Islam is based and the verses that support them, as derived from its primary sources, the Quran and the Sunnah (Prophetic traditions), with regard to its coexistence with the Abrahamic religions.
