Broadcast - The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Advocacy and Guidance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Dr. Abd Al-Latif bin Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh, affirmed that tolerance is a generous ethic that people have instilled in, and the paths of the prophets represent the values ​​of tolerance with their consensus and opponents, and our noble Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, came calling for good morals and tolerance ... The Medina document - which was and still is - is a testament to Islam’s keenness on tolerance and coexistence. The difference in religion and beliefs did not prevent coexistence.

This came during his speech at the opening session of the Kingdom’s teleconference forum (we tolerate dialogue), which was organized by the King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue via visual communication, and which started its work today.

Minister Al Al-Sheikh stated that the difference in religion and belief in the Islamic community did not prevent the types of dealings between people who differ in religion from selling, buying, mortgaging and renting, explaining that the tolerance of Islam was not limited to the limits of transactions such as buying, selling, marriage and renting, but rather urged a Muslim to deal well with someone who is not Muslims, and the initiative to give some of their money and food to non-Muslims in the event that one of them is a neighbor or relative.

He said: Islam is an organized and regulating religion for relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, and just as it preserves the rights of non-Muslims, at the same time it preserves the rights of Muslims, and no one’s right is lost at the expense of the other .. indicating that after some people moved away from this prophetic approach, things began It changed and found someone who interprets Islam as an amateur, and who carries every ugly thing against it, then the so-called phobia of Islam appeared, which denied all the meanings of tolerance in the Islamic religion, and depicted it in the ugliest form, as if it were terrorism itself.
