Abstract

Contemporary Islamic societies are societies with multiple religions, races, ideas and sects. It is very difficult to unite them all on one religion or sect, or even to bring them closer together, but coexistence is possible among them in light of mutual rights and duties within one nation. This research aims to correct misconceptions about the relationship between Muslims and others, and to present a practical model of coexistence through looks at the Noble Sunnah and the biography of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. The problem of this research lies in the misconceptions about the relationship between Muslims and others, internally and externally, and the importance of this research is highlighted in correcting these concepts about the relationship between Muslims and others internally and externally, and highlighting the meaning of peaceful coexistence between Muslims and others through looking at the Noble Sunnah The practical application of the Noble Sunnah, represented by his fragrant biography, and in this research I relied on the inductive approach in tracing the texts of the Sunnah and the events of the biography in which the manifestations of peaceful coexistence, its foundations and controls are manifested, then the analytical approach in analyzing and discussing research issues, then the deductive-deductive approach to know the correct approach to the relationship of Muslims with others, and among the most important results that I reached through this research is that the origin of human relations is that they are based on acquaintance, not denial And on cooperation, not conflict, and on peace, not war, and that Islam accepts others and cooperates with them within the framework of common denominators and the general interests of society, and that the Islamic state that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, established in Medina was based on peaceful coexistence and cooperation between all sects of society.
