The Concept of Tolerance in Islam
Habibia Islamic Heritage Collection, 2020
The concept of tolerance in religious tradition has been studied for centuries. In Islam, tolerance is a distinct moral virtue, as well as a part of social ethics. The Islamic scripture has highlighted the practice of forbearance, patience and lenience as one of the main components of its foundation. Tolerance, in particular is well established as an exercise found in mystical traditions. For generation, schools of Islamic Spirituality, i.e. al-Tasawwuf, or Sufism, as well as Sufi leaders have emphasised on the need for toleration to be effected in one's behaviour and in action. This article provides an overview of the concept of tolerance in Islam, based on a qualitative research model, grounded in analytical discourse. This article does not seek to provide a full explanation of the concept in Islamic Legislation. Rather, a discussion is entailed on the need for tolerance in this world and the existing themes in the Islamic heritage.
Understanding Religious Tolerance in Islamic Perspective
This paper attempts to explore religious tolerance through the lens of Western and Islamic philosophy. Understanding tolerance and peaceful coexistence is an urgent need in this pluralistic and conflict-ridden world. Tolerance and respect toward others " right to practise one " s religion is even considered an important aspect of the human rights issue. The concept of tolerance is clearly developed in Islam and the teachings of Prophet. But the 09/11 attack in the US and the emergence of Islamic extremists / terrorists groups such as Taliban, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and ISIS and their atrocities show to the world that the philosophy of Islamic teachings basically lead to intolerance, disharmony and extremism and rejects religious diversity and pluralism. Further, those groups defend their actions based on literal or extreme interpretation of Islam. As a result it raises the question whether Muslims can fit into the modern or pluralistic society? On the contrary, in reality, other Muslim scholars argue that those interpretations are in twisted forms but the world hears little from these alternate voices. It shows that Islam is interpreted in both extreme and tolerant manners. This article is divided into two parts; the first part focuses on the concept of tolerance in the Western philosophy. The second part analyses Islamic philosophical perspective of religious tolerance based on the writings of philosophers who are seen as either extreme or moderate.
Theory and praxis of religious tolerance
OGIRISI: a New Journal of African Studies
More often than not, intolerance is extremely rejected in favour of tolerance simply because of the belief that the latter produces a better chance of inter-personal relationship in a pluralistic society. In this sense tolerance will mean to allow others to practise their religious belief without hindrance. While the term 'allow' carries a legal import i.e. authorisation, toleration means only the absence of objection rather than genuine approval of another's religious belief. It is therefore the argument of this paper that tolerance already divides between the powerful and the less-powerful, the privileged and the less-privileged. It is this inherent weakness in tolerance that makes the paper to insist on frank dialogue; truth-meeting-truth.

A difference in thought, behaviour and tastes is one of the realities of human life which is rooted in the nature of man’s creation; a fact, the acceptance of which requires the development of human society and the increase of its capacity in interaction with different views. This can be interpreted as ‘tolerance’. In order to show its importance, human history can be mentioned as good evidence for the widespread atrocities caused by the lack of tolerance. The study of the verses of the Holy Qur’an clarifies the viewpoint of Islam towards this subject matter. What is understood from the Islamic teachings is that Islam does not believe in absolute tolerance in every circumstance. As Islam emphasises tolerance in some conditions, in others it accepts war as a necessity. Meanwhile, Islam maintains the necessity of freedom of belief, that is, freedom of expression and dialogue, as necessary. However, it condemns compromising in belief as well as insufficiency and lack of observance concerning the religious regulations by the believers. Tolerance in Islam is not based on indifference towards religions and beliefs; the necessity of choosing between truth and falsehood and also considering prophets as merely the introducers of truth to the people are the two essential fundamentals of tolerance in belief considering the Islamic view. Besides tolerance in belief, it is necessary to refer to the ethical and behavioural tolerance which provides a cultural ground to materialisation of tolerance in belief; a virtue highly praised and encouraged in Islam.
