Religious Pluralism in The Quran

It was We who revealed
The Torah (to Moses): therein
Was guidance and light.
By its standard have been judged
The Jews, by the Prophets
Who bowed (as in Islam)
To God's Will, by the Rabbis
And the Doctors of Law:
For to them was entrusted
The protection of God's Book,
And they were witnesses thereto:
Therefore fear not men,
But fear Me, and sell not
My signs for a miserable price,
If any do fail to judge
By what God
Hath revealed, they are
Unbelievers.

We ordained therein for them:
"Life for life, eye for eye,
Nose for nose, ear for ear,
Tooth for tooth, and wounds
Equal for equal." But if
Any one remits the retaliation
By way of charity, it is
An act of atonement for himself.
And if any fail to judge
By what God
Hath revealed, they are
Wrong-doers.

And in their footsteps
We sent Jesus the son
Of Mary, confirming
The Torah that had come
Before him: We sent him
The Gospel: therein
Was guidance and light.
And confirmation of the Torah
That had come before him:
A guidance and an admonition
To those who fear God.

Let the people of the Gospel
Judge by what God hath revealed
Therein. If any do fail
To judge by
What God hath revealed,
They are
Those who rebel.

To thee We sent the Scripture
In truth, confirming
The scripture that came
Before it, and guarding it
In safety: so judge
Between them by what
God hath revealed,
And follow not their vain
Desires, diverging
From the Truth that hath come
To thee. To each among you
Have We prescribed a Law
And an Open Way.
If God had so willed,
He would have made you
A single People, but (His
Plan is) to test you in what
He hath given you: so strive
As in a race in all virtues.
The goal of yo all is to God;
It is He that will show you
The truth of the matters
In which ye dispute;

(The Holy Quran, Chapter 5, Verses: 44 to 48)

Spread the Message

It is He Who brought you
Forth from the wombs
Of your mothers when
Ye knew nothing; and He
Gave you hearing and sight
And intelligence and affections:
That ye may give thanks
(To Him).

Do they not look at
The birds, held poised
In the midst of (the air
And) the sky? Nothing
Holds them up but (the power
Of) God. Verily in this
Are Signs for those who believe.

It is God who made your habitations
Homes of rest and quiet
For you; and made for you,
Out of the skins of animals,
(Tents for) dwellings, which
Ye find so light (and handy)
When ye travel and when
Ye stop (in your travels),
And out of their wool,
And their soft fibres
(Between wool and hair),
And their hair, rich stuff
And articles of convenience
(To serve you) for a time.

It is God Who made
Out of the things He created,
Some things to give you shade;
Of the hills He made some
For your shelter; He made you
Garments to protect you
From heat, and coats of mail
To protect you from
Your (mutual) violence.
Thus does He complete
His favours on you, that
Ye may surrrender to His Will
(In Islam).

But if they turn away,
Thy duty is only to preach
The Clear Message.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 16, Verses: 78 to 82)

God is Great

The likeness of the life
Of the Present is
As the rain which We
Send down from the skies:
By its mingling arises
The produce of the earth-
Which provides food
For men and animals:
(It grows) till the earth
Is clad with its golden
Ornaments and is decked out
(In beauty): the people to whom
It belongs think they have
All powers of disposal over it:
There reaches Our command
By night or by day,
And We make it
Like a harvest clean-mown,
As if it had not flourished
Only the day before!
Thus do we explain
The Signs in detail
For those who reflect.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 10, Verse: 24)

Strive and Struggle

GO YE FORTH, (WHETHER EQUIPPED)
LIGHTLY OR HEAVILY, AND STRIVE
AND STRUGGLE, WITH YOUR GOODS
AND YOUR PERSONS, IN THE CAUSE
OF GOD. THAT IS BEST
FOR YOU, IF YE (BUT KNEW).

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 9, Verse: 41)

Argue in ways that are best

Invite (all) to the Way
Of thy Lord with wisdom
And beautiful preaching;
And argue with them
In ways that are best
And most gracious:
For thy Lord knoweth best,
Who have strayed from His Path,
And who receive guidance.

And if ye punish, let your punishment
Be proportionate to the
Wrong that has been
Done to you:
But if ye show patience,
That is indeed the best (course)
For those who are patient.

And do thou be patient,
For thy patience is but with the help
From God; nor grieve over them:
And distress not thyself
Because of their plots.

For God is with those
Who restrain themselves
And those who do good.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 16, Verses: 125, 126, 127, 128)

Unity is the Message

And hold fast,
All together, by the Rope
Which God (stretches out
For you), and be not divided
Among yourselves;
And remember with gratitude
God's favour on you;
For ye were enemies
And He joined your hearts
In love, so that by His Grace,
Ye became brethren;
And ye were on the brink
Of the Pit of Fire,
And He saved you from it.
Thus doth God make
His Signs clear to you:
That ye may be guided.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 3, Verse: 103)

Day of Judgment

And the Day that the Trumpet
Will be sounded - then will be
Smitten with terror those
Who are in the heavens,
And those who are on earth,
Except such as Allah will please
(To exempt): and all shall come
To Him in utter humility.

Thou seest the mountains
And thinkest them firmly fixed:
But they shall pass away
As the clouds pass away:
(Such is) the artistry of God,
Who disposes of all things
In perfect order: for He is
Well acquainted with all that ye do.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 27, Verses: 87,88)
