The Educational Model of Tolerance with an Approach to Islamic Sources

Abstract

This research has been conducted using a descriptive and analytical method with the aim of presenting an educational model of tolerance with an approach to Islamic sources. The findings indicate that one of the educational principles that plays a significant role in guiding human beings is tolerance. Tolerance, which is also referred to as gentleness, mildness, kindness, and good behavior towards others, among other terms, has been greatly emphasized in Islamic sources, to the extent that it has been recommended as a principle even in dealings with enemies. In general, tolerance towards others can be classified within various domains and spheres such as ideological, political, ethical, devotional, and more. However, this educational model also faces certain constraints and limitations. The present study, titled "The Educational Model of Tolerance with an Approach to Islamic Sources," employs a descriptive-analytical method and utilizes library resources to present an educational model of tolerance with an approach to Islamic sources. In this regard, to provide a comprehensive model of tolerance, data has been collected from Islamic sources and then analyzed and inferred based on the research questions. It seems that Islam presents a model of tolerance that establishes a relationship between leniency and strictness, and while emphasizing the application of this method, it considers it permissible only to the extent that it does not undermine the fundamental principles and values of Islam. Therefore, the educational model of tolerance, with its existing components and structures, can be considered an appropriate method for interaction and guiding others.
