Quranic Motivation for interfaith dialogue
Dr Musharraf Hussain - Chairman Christian Muslim Forum (uk)
In Islam rights are of two kinds: the Divine rights and the Human rights. Divine rights include strong faith in the Lord and worshipping Him. Humanity is described as “Allah’s family” and thereby Human rights are sacred. The Qur’an whilst repeatedly telling the believers to worship the Lord emphasis the respect for Human rights. In order to promote these rights and good relations The Qur’an teaches four principles: The Equality of mankind, mutual understanding, cooperation and friendship.
