Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to examine the concept of the pluralism in Islam in accordance with the Qur’anic perspective. What does the Qur’an say about the pluralistic society? Does the Qur’an accept the concept of pluralism? Is there any room for Non-Muslims and atheists in the Muslim society? How does the Qur’an treat any non-Muslim community? It is generally believed that Islam promotes an exclusive society of its own. Yet, the prophet Muhammed lived in a pluralistic society. He accepted the concept of pluralism in his lifetime. The covenant of Medina is a historical document that justifies the concept of pluralism in Islam. This paper examines all these questions in this short article.
