Factors Affecting Religious Harmony in Contemporary Times and Their Solutions "Analytical and Critical Study"

Abstract

Islam is the religion chosen by Allah (SWT). The teachings of Islam convey the message of peace. The practical example of these teachings is called sÊrah of Prophet Muhammadﷺ. SÊrah suggests religious harmony as a possible and practicle solution to the growing religious unrest in the world. Religious harmony refers to the tolerance among the people of different faith and nations around the world. This study finds that, Prophet's ﷺ kindness towards people of different faiths, his sympathy, and prayers for them is a great example of religious harmony. During wars, the Prophet's ﷺ teachings on morality concerning children, women, elderly, disabled, monks and places of worship, meetings with delegations of different religions and letters to kings, reflects his social relations with people of other faiths. Challenges to the followers of different religions require in-depth research on the subject of religious harmony. In an attempt to carry out this task, principal approaches, namely analytical and critical have been used widely. To present the true image of Islam and to counter Islamophobia, the individual dimension of peace is possible with good morals. International dimension includes organizing the Islamic state for peace, international relations and agreements and providing protection of human rights. In the light of the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ, this study suggests that followers of the world religions should respect each other and avoid abusive behavior. Promoting hate speech is a deadly poison for religious harmony. Serious efforts should be made to prevent this problem, so that peace and security prevails in the world.
