Call to Promote Peaceful Co-existence Among All
The 12th edition of the Symposium on Development of Jurisprudence Sciences concluded in Oman with speakers calling for need to promote peaceful co-existence among nations and civilizations, as also within the world of Islam.
The symposium decided as part of its recommendations to publish a book containing its papers on “Islamic Perspective on Peaceful Co-existence” and this will be in many languages and to be available at airports, bookshops and other key public destinations.
The four-day symposium came up with many recommendations, including definition of co-existence (reconcile with self, live together, to be neighbors and have a dialogue with others and live with them in accordance with rules of mutual respect and provision of security, as well as ensuring the rights and freedoms of every human being).
The symposium concluded that Islam calls for balanced co-existence and equality and also addressed the current crisis with appropriate means and thoughts as this is the only way to get out of the world cultural crisis. The symposium also recommended a study on the position of Islamic jurisprudence compared with rules in contemporary international law to highlight the progress reached by Islamic jurisprudence in shaping the rules of international law.
The event organizers also decided to bring out a “Dictionary of Islamic Jurisprudence Heritage”. The symposium, organized by Oman’s Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, recommended that such events on peaceful co-existence must be organized every year and everywhere. The symposium was attended by delegates, including researchers, scholars and jurists, from 150 countries.
Speakers said Quranic values advocate unity of the human origin, and advise all to uphold human dignity and equality. All the eight Schools of Thoughts in Islam, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii, Hambali, and Al Jaafari advocate peaceful co-existence and uphold the importance of human dignity, mutual respect and fair dealings with all human beings irrespective of their color, caste, creed, race or culture because the Muslim Ummah is one, its doctrine is one and its Holy Book and Prophet (PBUH) are one and its juristic sources are almost uniform.
Scholars from different parts of the world and varied schools of thought attended the symposium and confirmed that Islamic jurisprudence is all for peaceful co-existence among people in light of the Quran and the Sunnah, as well as the rest of sources of Islamic legislation.
