Muslims And Non-Muslims From Islamic Point Of View
Islam does not restrict to make friends and establish close relations with non-Muslims. The Quran, where it condemns the people of the Book and polytheists, it was in the perspective of the ongoing conflict and wars between Muslims and their opponents. There is no general instructions to stay away from non-Muslims. In its stead, the Quran tells that Muslim men can marry the women of the people of the book and also can eat their food including the meat of the animals slaughtered by them pronouncing the name of God on them. Both can live in a land peacefully. The matter of faith is what God will judge. Everyone is responsible for believing in the truth for which one should search and establish one’s beliefs on solid arguments.
