Summary: | Abstract
Islam promotes religious harmony and peaceful co-existence not only among the Muslims, but also among the people of other faiths. As established by Islām, it is important for every Muslim to tolerate other religions, and to follow the policy of living peacefully with other nations, religions etc., despite fundamental disagreements. This article is aimed to explore how the Holy Qur᾽ān appeals to Muslims to engage in religious tolerance and harmony with the people of other religions in order to bring a true manifestation of peace and brotherhood in diversity and respect for each other’s rights on the basis of their common humanity. Hence, the article focuses on the Quranic principles for religious harmony and peaceful co-existence among the people, such as the equality of mankind, mutual understanding, cooperation, and freedom of religion and thought. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of the Quranic view of peace and coexistence which is interwoven with the universal moral discourse that unites all human beings. Abstrak
Islam menggalakkan keharmonian agama dan kewujudan bersama secara aman bukan sahaja di kalangan orang Islam, tetapi juga di kalangan penganut agama yang berlainan. Seperti yang telah termaktub dalam ajaran Islam, adalah penting bagi setiap Muslim untuk bertolak ansur dengan agama-agama lain serta mengikuti dasar hidup secara aman dengan masyarakat lain, agama lain, dan sebagainya, meskipun terdapat perbezaan pendapat yang fundamental. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meneroka bagaimana kitab suci al-Qurān menyeru umat Islam untuk melibatkan diri dalam toleransi dan keharmonian antara agama dengan penganut agama lain bagi menjelmakan satu manifestasi sebenar tentang keamanan dan persaudaraan dalam kepelbagaian serta saling hormat-menghormati hak masing-masing atas dasar kemanusiaan. Oleh itu, artikel ini memberi tumpuan kepada prinsip-prinsip al-Qurān yang berikaitan dengan keharmonian agama dan kewujudan bersama secara aman antara manusia, seperti kesamarataan antara manusia, persefahaman, kerjasama, dan kebebasan beragama dan berfikir. Kajian ini memberi kesimpulan dengan menekankan kepentingan pandangan al-Qurān tentang keamanan dan kewujudan bersama yang berhubungkait dengan wacana moral sejagat yang menyatukan semua manusia. |
