The teachings of the Prophet Seerah and his Companions on Religious Tolerance

Abstract

The studies based on evaluations are devoid of tolerance. The significance for religious tolerance in the community is emphasized in this study the paper. This essay examines the value of tolerance in the context of Hazrat Muhammad's (may peace be Upon Him) holy life by using a variety of case studies and references. When we describe tolerance, for example, as the ability to tolerate suffering in silence, we also provide alternative definitions or explanations. To put it another way, we may argue that tolerance is an act of compelling someone to change for the better rather than saying that it involves punishment. Furthermore, it has been said that Islamic teachings promote religious tolerance, whereby, eminent Muslim scholars expound upon the need of tolerance via various Ayyats (Verses), in addition to the historical religious occurrences of Sahaba and the Prophets. Similar to how Hazrat Muhammad (may peace be upon him) demonstrated tolerance on various occasions—even when he was in trouble—and how He now tolerates non-Muslims treating him harshly—through the various events within the life of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), he provides us with a comprehensive code of conduct, just as his tolerance toward Jews inspires us to live our lives in accordance with the lessons of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in a practical way.
