Why Islam is The Most Tolerance Religion

Islam, 19 September 2005

This week is very hard, Islam which the most tolerance religion again got misunderstanding. This happens because another people does not know about Islam. Many reason why someone hate but one of that reason because he/she does not want to know/learn Islam. Islam for many century living with another faith, in the modern era You can see another religion living peaceful with Islam in Indonesia.

There are many law in Islam about tolerance with another, here I will telling 2 law from Al Quran:

1. Al Hajj 68-69
68. wa in jadalooka faquli Allahu aAlamu bima taAmaloona
69. Allahu yahkumu baynakum yawma alqiyamati feema kuntum feehi takhtalifoona

68. dan jika mereka membantah kamu, maka katakanlah “Allah lebih mengetahui tentang apa yang kamu kerjakan”
69 Allah akan mengadili diantara kamupada hari kiamat tentang apa yang dahulu kamu selalu berselisih padanya

68. If they do wrangle with thee, say “Allah knows best what it is ye are doing”
69. Allah will judge between you on the Day of Judgment concerning the matters in which ye differ.

2. Ash Shura 15

042.015 فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَلا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَأُمِرْتُ لأعْدِلَ بَيْنَكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ لا حُجَّةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ اللَّهُ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

042.015 Now then, for that (reason), call (them to the Faith), and stand steadfast as thou art commanded, nor follow thou their vain desires; but say: "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down; and I am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the responsibility for) our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is (our) Final Goal.

Maka karena itu serulah (mereka kepada agama itu) dan tetaplah sebagaimana diperintahkan kepadamu dan janganlah mengikuti hawa nafsu mereka dan katakanlah "Aku beriman kepada semua Kitab yang diturunkan Allah dan aku diperintahkan supaya berlaku adil diantara kamu. Allah lah Tuhan kami dan Tuhan kamu. Bagi kami amal-amal kami dan bagi kamu amal-amal kamu. Tidak ada pertengkaran antara kami dan kamu, Allah mengumpulkan antara kita dan kepadaNya lah kembali (kita).

Dengan prinsip inilah kaum muslimin hidup tenang. Tidak ada sama sekali maksud mempertentangkan keyakinan, malah sebaliknya kaum muslimin menghormati agama orang lain.

Allah melalui Rasulnya Muhammad telah memberi contoh sikap adil terhadap pemeluk agama yang lain.
