Abstract
Anyone who follows the texts of Islamic Sharia will find that it came with a conscious view of life in which it calls for peaceful coexistence between the various human groups. The language of Islam is clear in the call to a life dominated by love. It embroidered with brotherhood، affection and positive spirit، leading to coexistence and building peace. Actually، the Islamic nation is a moderate nation، with its moderate religion. Allah Almighty says in the Glorious Quran: ((Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism، true followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways)]، a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation، that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) be a witness over you.))Holy Quran (Sura002: verse 143). And because Islam is a religion of a natural disposition and a balanced view of life and humans، this language was an explicit call for peaceful coexistence among all religions، and Islam looks at the difference between people in their embrace of religions in a positive spirit، because it is a reason and an incentive for work and competition between the different views، so that the result will be the reconstruction of the earth and the building of the values of human life، Allah Almighty says in the Glorious Quran: ((To each among you، We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allahwilled، He would have made you one nation، but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The returnof you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ..)) Holy Quran (Sura005: verse 48). The texts in the Noble Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet، and the sayings and deeds of the righteous predecessors، call for moderation and reasonableness. Naturally، the abovementioned texts establish our understanding of this، for the duality of the conflict between good and evil exists. It continues to the end of time.This conclusion leads us to the fact that Islamic thought، with its multiple sources، called for good and renounced evil and urged cooperation، righteousness and piety. The sacred text in it indicates that، Allah Almighty says in the Glorious Quran: ((….Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue، righteousness and piety); but do nothelp one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily، Allah is Severe in punishment.)) Holy Quran (Sura005: verse 2). Further، the call for moderation، coexistence and reasonableness is at the core of the spirit and teachings of Islam، Allah Almighty says in the Glorious Quran: ((O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord، Who created you from a single person (Adam)، and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)]،and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights)، and (do not cut therelations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely، Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you..)) Holy Quran (Sura004: verse 1).
