| Abstract | ||
| Almighty Allah made Islamic nation a nation of love, tolerance and moderation. So, extremity, extravagance, tyranny, and aggression against others are not its traits. Instead, Almighty Allah made a middle nation as Holy Quran revealed. Love and tolerance were one of the important pillars of Islamic nation at the stage of its call with the admittance of all historians. A close reading and contemplation for Holy Quran and its texts with due attention to the biography of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) finds that there is an emphasis on moderation and straightness in all walks of life. The paper tries to observe several phases of tolerance and love in Holy Quran and Honorable Prophet Hadeeth (Sunnah). Accordingly, the paper consists of an introduction and two chapters. In the introduction, I have dealt with the discourse and its effect on the recipient. Chapter one sheds light on the study of Quranic texts which encompass the discourse of tolerance and love. While chapter two is allocated to study the texts in Honorable Prophet Hadeeth (Sunnah) which covers the discourse of tolerance and love. The researcher concludes that the vocabulary of “love” and its derivations is used extensively in Holy Quran and Honorable Prophet Hadeeth (Sunnah). Almighty Allah proves in short sentences of Holy Quran the mutual love between the creator and the creatures and vice versa. More importantly, the Holy Quran talks about non-believers as brothers of prophets (Peace be Upon Them) in eight Quranic places. One of the visible human positions which are immortalized by history in the Prophet’s biography is the brotherhood between immigrants and supporters. It is still a prominent feature of love. The prophet’s attitude and respect towards holy books which belong to Jaws not only affects the Jaws themselves but also the orientalists of Jaws afterwards. This issue proves the originality and depth of Prophet’s human mission. | ||
