| Summary: | This paper seeks to explore the Prophet (PBUH)’s methodology
in dealing with other religions based on textual analysis of selected historical incidents that took place during the time of revelation. The goal of this study is to analyse the text related to these incidents in order to extract the methodologies used by the Prophet (PBUH) in dealing with those involved in these events, especially the non-Muslims. This work is significant as it provides
genuine understanding of the Prophet (PBUH)’s methodology in dealing with others, which is relevant to contemporary Muslim scholarship of comparative religion. This research starts with a brief introduction followed by a discussion on: (1) the essence of the Prophetic Methodology; (2) the Prophet (PBUH)’s descriptive and objective methods in the light of al-Ḥikmah (Wisdom); (3) the
Prophet (PBUH)’s altruistic and analytical methods in the light of al-Mawʿiẓah al-Ḥasanah (good advice); and (4) the Prophet (PBUH)’s dialogical and pacific methods in the light of al-Jidāl bil-Lati Hiya Aḥsan (arguing with what is best). The historical, descriptive, and analytical methods are used in the entire study. This study concludes that the Prophet (PBUH)’s methodology in dealing with other religions is clearly significant and relevant to contemporary Muslim scholarship in the study of other religions, faiths, traditions, civilisations customs and ideologies. |
