Prophet Muhammad's model of interreligious dialogue based on research on the Letter to the Christians

Abstract

Violence and extremism are among the most important topics in current research on religion and interreligious studies. The New World Order and the global peace, justice, and ethics cannot be understood without accounting for the role of religion and religious organizations, and among the topics dealing with religion is the matter of violence done by the excuse of religion’s orders. There is increasing research looking at and beyond religious causes of violence, as well as hope that religion could offer genuinely effective tools to control violence. As the best example of peaceful negotiations among Muslims and Christians, this article presents one of the important Islamic proofs narrated by Prophet Muhammad (S), called »The promise of Muhammad to the Christians till the end of the World«, and the impact of interreligious and intercultural role on peace and conflict resolution, as well as the role of global ethics. This letter, per se, and its content which in numerous key points strengthens the ties between Christians and Muslims, has not only been accepted and well documen-ted among both Shi’a and Sunnites but is also widely quoted and referred to in Christian sources. Surely this letter is invalidating the point on the extremist crimes committed in the name of Islam.

Secondary title:	Model medreligioznega dialoga preroka Mohameda na temelju študije Pisma kristjanom
Secondary abstract:	Nasilje in ekstremizem sta dve izmed najpomembnejših tematik v trenutnih raziska-vah o religiji in medreligijskem študiju. Novega svetovnega reda, globalnega miru, pravičnosti in etike ne moremo razumeti brez vloge religije in religioznih organizacij, med temami, ki se ukvarjajo z religijo, pa je vprašanje nasilja, do katerega prihaja v imenu religioznega reda. Vedno več je raziskav, ki se ukvarjajo z religioznimi in drugimi vzroki za nasilje, vznika pa tudi upanje, da bi religija lahko ponudila resnično učinkovita orodja za nadzor nasilja. Kot najboljši primer mirnega pogajanja med muslimani in kristjani članek poudari pomembne islamske dokaze, podane po preroku Mohamedu (S), z naslovom »Mohamedova obljuba kristjanom do konca sveta« ter vpliv medreligiozne in medkulturne vloge miru in razreševanja konfliktov pa tudi vloge globalne etike. To pismo samo po sebi in njegova vsebina, ki v mnogih točkah krepi vezi med kristjani in muslimani, nista bila zgolj sprejeta in dokumentirana med šiiti in suniti, ampak tudi večkrat navajana v krščanskih virih. Pismo seveda izničuje namene ekstremističnih zločinov, storjenih v imenu islama.
