Description
Summary:Modern humankind is experiencing some obstacles in solving the complex and chronic problems of society. The question how multireligious, multicultural, and multiethnic societies can exist peacefully raises these problems. The difficulty of finding a solution to these problems has historical, social, and political aspects. The reluctance of the public in general and decision-making mechanisms in particular to force or step over the boundaries of modern paradigms can also be added to these problems. This study explains the models of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for peaceful coexistence with particular focus on the Constitution of Medina.
