The Qur’an is a beautiful message to humankind, a counsel for thinking and keeping, a guide to the future from the past. Certain past events that have taken place since the very existence of mankind have been given to mankind as messages and messages have been given to mankind to teach from some events. The Qur’an, based on tolerance and love, provides the necessary information for life with love and tolerance with family, friends, and relatives. It is clearly revealed by the Qur’an that justice prevails, that there is no justice over God’s justice, and that the unfair behavior of the inhabitants among themselves is of no use. It is written that people should prefer a temporary life from the first existence to the extinction of the world or a positive trail that they leave in this temporary life.
The Qur’an clearly teaches that all mankind will account for the righteousness of Allah, so that he should not do anyone’s judgment. In this case, our duty as human beings is to look at people equally, fairly, positively, lovingly, compassionately. We must approach people with positive feelings, not with negative feelings such as personal greed, hatred and anger, different religious affiliation, racism, discrimination between women and men. Only Allah will appreciate the consequences of being a member of a different denomination or the decision to enter the moon. Anyone of Islamic religion can never be judged by religion, race, sect. In fact, this is the case for all religions. No religion on earth will allow God to confuse the authority of appreciation. For this reason, a co-operation between religions, an equal approach to people is required. In today’s world, it is necessary for politicians, religious leaders to be able to look at people in an impartial manner in terms of their religion. Religion is not a rhyme. Religion is the whole of the values and beliefs presented to all people. It is not right to reflect the discrimination that people live among themselves to other people belonging to the same religion. It is not true that people like terrorism, genocide, war, and the false politics and actions that happen entirely in their own will, should be reconciled with the people of the denial. The increase in the number of clashes among the members of different denominations is only the outcome of hatred and anger. Anger and hatred open up social wounds and prevent generations of future generations.
Cooperation between generations and cultures plays a major role in the development of relationships among individuals belonging to different religions. Despite the tolerance and love of the Islamic religion to humanity, it is not true that some negative events are reflected in Islamic religion. As long as mankind exists, the differences of opinion are inevitable. However, this disagreement must not be transformed into war, genocide, terrorism, anti-Islamic politics. Religious, political and political leaders are in charge of this. Education, student exchange programs must be implemented to prevent people from making religious or ethnic discrimination from elementary school to university. A single religious praise and no other shameful training should be allowed. People should be given love, tolerance, equality and justice from their childhood in religious lessons. The name of the religion course should be “love, tolerance and justice”. This course should be given by all states, but the requesting country should give this information about their religion. Thus, in child age, humanity will relate to love, tolerance and justice. It is especially important that a television channel broadcasts special days of all religions and messages of love, tolerance and justice to human beings are given through this television channel. In this television channel, different religions should be provided with religious leaders to meet in the same program and messages of peace, love, tolerance and justice should be given to humanity. In the program, people belonging to different religions should celebrate each other’s religious days and give a message of tolerance to humanity.
As a result, Islam is a religion based on love, justice, tolerance and morality. It has no message for people to be hurt. For this reason, we should learn to live in love and tolerance, not to reconcile events with Islam and other religions. Our life is really short. Being happy is very easy. All we have to do is to love each other, to judge nobody because of their religion, to put ourselves in the place of others in every incident we have. We have to turn our short life into a very long happiness.
