The Qur'an and Normative Religious Pluralism
This work discusses the legitimacy of using normative religious pluralism in relation to the normative teachings of Islam to argue that the former’s principles are not alien to Islamic teachings. If we separate out what is Islamic from what is cultural or context-based interpretation, we will discover that in the Qur’an we have a great and honourable example of how to live in diversity, of powerful scriptural tenets that lend themselves precisely to engagement with those of other faiths, allowing valuable contributions to be made to the field of religious pluralism. All that is required from Muslims is careful study of these Qur’anic tenets to present them accurately and as they are meant to be understood without projecting them through the filter of historical confrontation or cultural misinterpretation.
