There are five divine guidelines that the Qur'an
clearly presents to Muslims for building tolerance
and understanding among differing religions.
 |
Everyone's God-given human dignity
must be respected, regardless of his or her faith,
race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status
(Qur’an 17:70). Because everyone is created
by God Almighty, the Maker of all, humans must
treat one another with full honor, respect, and
loving-kindness. |
 |
Islam teaches it is by Divine Will that God's
human creation follows different religions, or
no religion at all -- no religion is nevertheless
a faith, or belief-system (10:99). But God Almighty
is not pleased when some humans choose not to
believe (39:7) |
 |
The Qur'an states clearly that freedom of religion
is a God-given right (2:256). |
 |
The final judgment of all humanity lies in the
hands of God, the One Almighty, their Creator,
to whom we all ultimately return (22:68-69), (42:15).
|
 |
God loves justice and those who strive to practice
it, especially toward people who are different
from them in any way, including in matters of
religious belief (5:8), (60:8). |
