Title: The Quranic Concept of Religious Tolerance and its Manifestation in Islamic History
Abstract: Although Islam is ‘the best religion’, yet the holy Quran bestows freedom of religion on every individual and strongly disapproves of using force and pressure. The religious ascendency of Islam is couched in a logical and persuasive manner in the holy Quran but one cannot find a single verse asking its adherents to use coercion to compel others to embrace Islam. On the contrary, compulsion in matters of religion runs counter the tolerant spirit of the holy Quran. The following research article describes the Qur’anic concept of religious tolerance, its materialization in the Islamic history and its recognition by the non-Muslim writers.
