The question of peaceful coexistence among followers of different religions has become increasingly significant in contemporary societies marked by religious pluralism, ideological polarisation, and the growing prevalence of hate speech and exclusionary narratives. Although the Qur’an contains numerous principles that promote justice, benevolence, freedom of belief, and constructive engagement with religious others, these teachings are often overshadowed by selective readings of verses related to conflict and warfare detached from their textual contexts and higher objectives. This has contributed to persistent misconceptions regarding Islam’s position on interreligious relations and peaceful coexistence. Against this backdrop, the present study seeks to examine the Qur’anic foundations of peaceful interreligious coexistence, analyse selected verses that advocate peace, justice, benevolence, and dialogue, clarify the conceptual distinctions between coexistence, tolerance, and reconciliation, and identify the governing principles of interreligious relations in light of the maqāṣid al-sharīʿah. Employing an analytical thematic approach, the study examines relevant Qur’anic verses across multiple sūrahs, drawing upon authoritative works of Qur’anic exegesis and linking linguistic meanings with the broader objectives of Qur’anic discourse. The findings reveal that peaceful coexistence in the Qur’an represents a comprehensive civilisational paradigm rather than merely the absence of conflict. The analysis identifies justice, benevolence, freedom of belief, respect for covenants, ethical communication, and constructive dialogue as fundamental principles governing relations among diverse religious communities. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the Qur’an views religious diversity as part of the divine order and promotes engagement based on mutual respect and shared human dignity. These findings highlight the continuing relevance of Qur’anic values in addressing contemporary challenges of interreligious relations and offer a normative framework for fostering social harmony, mutual understanding, and sustainable peaceful coexistence in increasingly pluralistic societies.
