This is more than just the peaceful coexistence of various religions; it is the conscious recognition and respect for diversity in belief, practice, and spiritual experience. This paper explores the peaceful coexistence of religions through an Islamic perspective, highlighting the Qur’anic and Prophetic foundations that encourage coexistence, justice, and mutual respect among people of diverse faiths.

The study examines how Islam acknowledges religious diversity as part of divine wisdom, emphasizing moral conduct, dialogue, and cooperation rather than conflict. Drawing on the Qur’an, Hadith, and classical scholarship, the discussion clarifies that Islamic peaceful coexistence of religions does not imply relativism but calls for humility, compassion , and recognition of shared human values.

Ultimately, the study argues that Islam’s inclusive vision offers a timeless framework for fostering peace and understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. The Concept of Peaceful Coexistence in Islam The term coexistence means the state of being together in the same place at the same time [1] , or living together, or the act of two individuals or different groups living side by side, even when they are not necessarily compatible [2] .

In international law terminology, peaceful coexistence refers to the absence of hostility or conflict with others [3] . However, in the present discussion, Islamic peaceful coexistence refers to the state in which Muslims, according to Islamic teachings, live alongside the followers of other religions with good neighborliness and cooperation in righteousness.
