| Interfaith Dialogue
Qurān
Sūrah 17:53, 54
And tell my servants that they should speak in a most kindly manner
(unto those who do not share their beliefs). Verily, Satan is always ready
to stir up discord between men; for verily; Satan is mans foe. We have
not sent you with the power to determine their faith.
Sūrah 29:46
"And discuss not with the People of the Book except by what is best,
save such of them, as act unjustly. And Say: We believe in that which has
been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One,
and to Him we submit."
Sūrah
6.108
"Revile not ye those whom they call upon besides God, lest they out
of spite revile God in their ignorance. Thus have We made alluring to each
people its own doings. In the end will they return to their Lord, and We
shall then tell them the truth of all that they did."
Ahādīth:
The teachings of the Prophet on how Muslims should treat non-Muslim
friends and neighbors on a day to day basis as well as how a government
should treat a non-Muslim citizen of a Muslim state.
"Whoever hurts a Non-Muslim citizen of
a Muslim state hurts me, and he who hurts me annoys God." (Bukhāri)
"He who hurts a Non-Muslim citizen of
a Muslim state, I am his adversary, and I shall be his adversary on the
Day of a Judgment." (Bukhāri)
"Beware on the Day of Judgment; I
shall myself be the complainant against him who wrongs a Non-Muslim
citizen of a Muslim state or lays on him a responsibility greater than he
can bear or deprives him of anything that belongs to him." (Al-Mawardi)
"Anyone who kills a Non-Muslim who had
become our ally will not smell the fragrance of Paradise." (Bukhāri)
