Abstract:
According to a prophetic statement, “The quest for knowledge is the duty of
every Muslim, male or female”, where knowledge is meant as a discovery of
real value of things and of oneself in relationship with the world in which God
has placed us. This universal dimension of knowledge is in fact a wealth of
wisdom of traditional doctrine naturally linked to the cultural and spiritual
heritage of every human beings and every believer of faith. It allows for the
respect of internal and external differences as positive elements of the cultural
and spiritual heritage of mankind. This paper examined the legal provision of
the inter-religious relationship as practiced by the holy Prophet Muhammad,
(SAW).
