Religious Pluralism

  • Code: 18SCB
  • 6 Sessions

In the world of unprecedented interaction of people of various cultures and creeds religious pluralism seems a kind of compromise to please all. It is assumed that peace and harmony are only achievable under the umbrella of ‘religious pluralism’ in which no one will be criticized, condemned or considered to be damned because of what they choose to believe or not to believe. You all have a share of truth and you will be all embracing salvation irrespectively.
In this course, Sheikh Mansour Leghaei has examined Qur’anic references as well as Prophetic traditions relevant to ‘religious pluralism’. An ending highlight; he also presents an Islamic solution for a peaceful coexistence without falling into the fallacy of religious pluralism.
