Building Bridges


• Divergence of views do exist between man and man.

• To live in harmony in pluralistic societies we have to find some guiding principles.

• Hatred, separatism, intolerance and violence divides communities.

• Love, Respect, Peace and Positivity unites communities.

Islam gives some guiding principles.


Come to a Common Word


Say: O People of Book, Let us come to a word common to us and you that we will

worship none but God

(The Qur’an, 3:64).


Follow One, Respect All


To you your religion and to me mine. ( The Qur’an, 109:6).


Peace Today


• Peace is summum bonum in the world.

• All positive achievements are possible only in an environment of peace.

• This is especially true for building bridges in pluralistic societies.

Can Islam give a practical model?


Islam’s View On Peace


• The very word ‘Islam’ (from the Arabic Silm) connotes peace.

• God is Peace. (Bukhari)

• Peace is the best.

(The Qur’an, 4:128)


Motivation For Peace


• God despises any disturbance of peace (fasad). (The Qur’an, 2:205).

• God is Gentle and loves gentleness in all things. (Bukhari and Muslim)

• God calls man to the Home of Peace. (The Qur’an, 10:25)


Recompense (of Paradise) is for those who purify themselves. (The Qur’an, 20:76)

Reconciliatory Approach


• As regards the conciliatory versus the non-conciliatory approach, the Quran says:

“for reconciliation in best.” (4: 128)


Enemy Is a Potential Friend


‘Repel evil with good. And he who is your enemy will become your dearest friend.”

(The Qur’an, 41:33-34)


Violence Versus Non-Violence


God grants to gentleness (rifq) what he does not grant to violence (unf).

(Sunan Abu Dawud 4/255)


Saving Instead of Killing


‘Whoever killed a human being should be

looked upon as though he had killed all

mankind . And whoever saved a human

being should be looked upon as though

he saved all mankind (5:32),’


Unlimited Reward for Patience (Sabr)


Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without measure.

(The Qur’an, 39:10).



None of you can be a believer unless he

should desire for his fellow-man what he

desires for himself. (Bukhari)
