| Summary: | Islam is a religion of peace; it is a religion to lead
mankind from the depths of darkness and ignorance towards the
path of light and knowledge. The literal meaning of Islam,
derived from the Arabic word Salaam, means peace. The word
“Islam” has another root derivation – Slim – which means
surrender or submission. In short, Islam means peace acquired
by humans by submitting their will to the Will of Allah. In the
most serious note, one of God’s name and attribute is alsalam(The Most Peaceful), which means, peaceful co-existence
and harmonious living are very important values that Islam urge
Muslims to enjoy particularly with people of other faiths and
religions, such as Christianity and others.. Based on this fact, the
holy Qur’an is very serious in condemning any sort of ethnic or
religious hostility towards other faiths, it instead promotes
peaceful co-existence and religious tolerance; for the sake of
humanity, love and human dignity. Thus, this humble paper by
applying Quranic approach, aims to demonstrate the importance
of peaceful co-existence in Islamic worldview, and how such
peaceful living could be actualized in any pluralistic and multireligious society. Finally, the paper will provide brief conclusion
followed by some suggestions and recommendations. |
