Inter-religious dialogue is essential for fostering peace and harmony in today's global pluralistic societies. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan reflected on his journey of inter-religious dialogue, guided by principles like tolerance, mutual respect and the willingness to learn from others. When participants in such dialogues openly share their perspectives and remain receptive to insights that emerge, it can bring people closer, enhance relations between communities and build mutual understanding. This process not only allows participants to share their beliefs but also to learn from one another, creating a platform to unite peace-loving individuals from diverse religious backgrounds in working for the global good.
Shatm-E-Rasool ka Masla (The Issue of Blasphemy)
Regular price$3.00
Save $-3.00
Protesting or demanding death penalty for blasphemy against the Prophet contradicts the core principles of Islam. Islam advocates responding to ideas with ideas, encouraging Muslims to either ignore blasphemous statements or respond in kind - for instance, by issuing a statement, or a book in response to a book. As the Quran states,'Let harm be requited by an equal harm. But whoever pardons and amends will find his reward with God' (42:40). The book clarifies that blasphemy should be a subject of intellectual discussions, not condemnation, protest or retaliation. In light of the Quran and tradition, it aims to address and correct misconceptions, particularly for those seeking deeper understanding.
