You are not one to manage (men's) affairs” [88:21-22] **“** Enlightenments have come to you from your Lord. As for those who can see, they do so for their own good, and those who turn blind, do so to their own detriment. I am not your guardian .” [6:104] **“** If they reject you, then say my work to me and yours to you.

You are free from the responsibility of what I do and I for what you do.” [10:41] **“** The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver the message, and Allah knows everything you declare and everything you conceal.” [5:99] **“** If they argue with you, then say I have simply submitted myself to God; I and those who follow me. And you shall proclaim to those who received the scripture as well as those who did not, ‘would you submit'?

If they submit then they have been guided, but if they turn away, your sole mission is to deliver this message. God is Seer of all people.” [3:20] **“** You shall obey God and you shall obey the messenger, and beware if you turn away , then know that the sole duty of our messenger is to deliver the message efficiently. ” [ 5:92] The above Ayat utterly denounce the practice of inquisition and pressuring the followers of other religions in order to change their beliefs.

Nevertheless, preaching and enlightening people is permitted and is the duty of the messengers in a logical manner. 2. Logical debate and discussion Islam whilst respecting other religions and beliefs, may disagree with some of their teachings, finding them illogical, and hence invites their adherents to open discussion and debate in a peaceful and logical manner far from any type of fanaticism and prejudice.

The following Ayat are the examples of this approach: **“** And dispute you not with the People of the Book except with means better (than mere disputation) unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong.

But say, we believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you, our God and your God is One, and it is to Him we submit.” [29:46] **“** Invite all to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious.” [16:125] **“** So announce the good news to My servants, those who listen to the word and follow the best of it.

Those are the ones whom Allah has guided and those are the ones endued with understanding. ” [39:17-18] “ Say produce your proof if you are truthful. ” [2:111, 21:24, 16:64] 3.
