Abstract

India has been the land of diverse cultures and religions over a long period of time. The adherents to different religions have been coexisting peacefully and sharing both the glories and the downfalls together. Though there is a long and well-established tradition of religious engagement and debate in India, the process of religious dialogue, particularly Hindu-Muslim dialogue, has yet to find a cohesive expression and a stable foundation on which to stand. Who isn’t aware about the riots, violence and killings on the name of religion in the history of India? The hatred and the disbelief against Muslims have dealt a huge blow for the unity and diversity of India. However, there is still hope for religious dialogue in India, as the country has been a pluralist culture for centuries and the people have lived through religious tolerance and coexistence. The only solution to this would be interfaith dialogue which is mandatory if not dynamic for everyone to have the understanding of different religions or belief systems. In this article, I would start with a brief introduction about interfaith dialogue, its history in India and then discuss in detail the need, importance and contemporary challenges of interfaith dialogue in India. This would help in understanding the dialogue between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs, as well as to eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings regarding each other's faiths. It would also assist in the achievement of common goals such as the establishment of justice and world peace, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of moral values.

Abstract

The pre-modern political frameworks of Muslim institutions, rooted in classifications like Dār al-Islam (Abode of Islam) and Dār al-Harb (Abode of War), are no longer fully compatible with the modern nation-state system. Contemporary terms such as Dār alShahādah (Abode of Testimony), Dār al-Ahd (Abode of Truce), and Dār al-Amān (Abode of Peace) have emerged as additions to the classical framework to address evolving sociopolitical contexts. This study aims to analyze the contributions of modern Muslim scholars and reformist thinkers to the development and reinterpretation of these classifications and their relevance to contemporary citizenship (Muwātana). Through a historical and analytical approach, the paper traces the evolution of the concept of citizenship within Islamic political thought, examining its transition from the Caliphate era (632–661 C.E) to the Ottoman Empire (1299–1924 C.E) and beyond. Special emphasis is placed on the reinterpretation of these concepts in light of Darūrah (necessity). The study reveals that the modern reinterpretations of classical frameworks offer a more inclusive and cohesive understanding of citizenship, treating all individuals equally within the nation-state paradigm. These developments reflect the adaptability of Islamic legal and political thought in addressing contemporary challenges. By exploring the evolution of citizenship within Islamic political history, this research underscores the necessity of reimagining classical frameworks to align with current socio-political realities, fostering greater inclusivity and harmony within diverse nation-state systems.
