Abstract

Islam is the religion of peace. It was first revealed in Mecca and spread out around the world through the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah SWT, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and his Companions. Compared to other religions, currently Islam is considered as the biggest population after the Christianity in term of its adherents. However, in the current time, Islam has experienced vast challenges from other religions like Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. They claimed that Islam has promoted terrorism, hostility, hatred, and intolerance to other religions. This propaganda can be easily found in the written materials, such as book, paper, magazine, newspaper, and social media. For that reason, religious pluralism has become a big issue in the contemporary time. Therefore, this paper tries to respond to the issue and its problems by tracing back to the main source of Islam, Al-Qur’an, and looking at the practices of tolerance in the classical and modern times. In doing so, this paper reviews relevant literature related to the concept of religious pluralism, the practices of tolerance and its development in the prophetic tradition, Islamic history, and the relationship between Islam and other religions since the classical time to the modern time. Ultimately, this paper aims to foster a peaceful relationship and harmony among the existing religions in the world based on the teaching of Islam.
