Quranic foundations for peaceful coexistence among Muslims (a comparison between the interpretations of Shiites and Sunnis)

The peaceful coexistence of Muslims is based only on solid foundations and great values that benefit humanity. There is no law in this world that can regulate human life like the heavenly laws – on the basis of which the Seal of our Prophets, our Mullah, Habib and Shafi, Hazrat Abul Qasim Muhammad (peace be upon him and his honorable progeny) was sent. The purpose of this law is to protect all humanity based on principles based on goodness, piety, mercy, love, tolerance, humanity, forgiveness and brotherhood. Peaceful coexistence is a broad concept that people nowadays need more than past due to the negativity and fiery conflicts that nations are involved in. Humanity should learn the religion of Islam in its correct way and learn the Islamic guidelines in the behavior of Muslims with others in all areas of life. Also, the privileges of Islam over other religions should be stated; Because Islam is a religion of peace, reconciliation, forgiveness, tolerance and peaceful coexistence among all people, both Muslims and non-Muslims. It is also necessary to correct some false beliefs about peaceful and tolerant coexistence. In addition, I also dealt in my research with some Qur’anic foundations of peaceful coexistence in some interpretations of Shiite and Sunni commentators, and in explaining some Qur’anic foundations for peaceful coexistence, I did not find any difference between their interpretations. In this research, I used two methods (descriptive and analytical) to explain the Quranic principles of peaceful coexistence of Muslims. The importance of the issue lies in the expanding the culture of cooperation, tolerance, forgiveness, accepting others, preserving human dignity and freedom of opinion, preserving the rights of others and not violating the freedom and rights of others and other Quranic foundations of peaceful coexistence of Muslims with each other on the one hand and Muslims with non-Muslims on the other, and Its effect on individuals and societies in achieving peaceful coexistence. In this thesis, we reached many results, the most prominent of which is that the Holy Quran is the founder of the principles of peaceful coexistence. The Holy Quran accepts the tradition of difference; Islam is not only the Qur’an, but it is a combination of the Qur’an and leadership; We find this concept clearly in “Thaqlain Hadith” that the Holy Prophet commanded the Ummah to adheres to both: the Qur’an and the Ahl al-Bayt, to be pure and clean, so that after him, they would never go astray.
