In order to understand the complexities of our times we need to train our thought patterns to fly under the shadow of the book of Allah (SWT). A few verses of the Qur'aan adequately explain the situation:

  1. We as Muslims believe that many of the present religions, faiths and dogmas are a corrupted form of the original revelations from Allah (SWT) and by definition there are bound to still some “truth” in it. Allah (SWT) has given us the criterion for ascertaining that truth “

    • [5:48] We have sent down to you the Book with truth, confirming the Book before it, and a protector for it...”


    In this verse the word protector means that the “truth” from previous revelations has been preserved and can be checked according to the present benchmark which is the “Quraan.”
  2. We as Muslims also believe that the only true religion of Allah (SWT) is Islam and salvation is only in it and it clearly dictated in the Qur’aan

    • [3:19] Truly, the (recognized) religion in the sight of Allah is Islam . Those who have been given the Book did not differ (among themselves) until after the knowledge had come to them, (and all this) due to envy against each other. Whoever denies the verses of Allah, then, Allah is swift at reckoning.
    • [3:20] Then, if they argue with you, say: .I have submitted myself to Allah, and (so did) those who have followed me.. And say to those who have been given the Book, and to the unlettered: .Do you submit?. If they submit, they will be on the right path. Yet, if they turn back, then you have only to convey the message. Allah is watchful over (all of) His servants.


So in my humble view we don't believe that Religious Pluralism has a place in Islamic Shariah.
Assalum alaykum,

Thank you, Colonel.

Jazakallah khair
