In spite of all efforts to paint a black portrait of Islam and to introduce it as a
hostile and intolerant creed, Islamic civilization played a major role in shaping
global civilization. Prominent Muslim scholars and intellectuals established
the basis of art, philosophy, science and technology which directly and
indirectly influenced societies around the world.1
Among all these bright and positive aspects of Islamic civilization, this paper
will focus on the Islamic view of other religions and the status of nonMuslims in Islamic regions through the ages. In-depth study of the Quran and
understanding the soul of its message, alongside Prophet Muhammad‘s (SAW)
word and his behavior with non-Muslims, and tracing this subject in history,
will show both theoretically and practically the high potentiality of Islam for
peace and harmony. By this view, Jews in the Fatimid Caliphate and Christian
Bakhtishu‘s clan were respected in Abbasid Caliphate, and even held
government posts.
Tolerance and engaging in dialogue with other religions-notwithstanding
dogma, brought Muslims progress in all areas and even led some scholars to
regard tolerance and altruism as ―the mother‖ of Islamic civilization.
