Abstract: The Muslims since the inception of Islam have tolerated the people of various religious leanings during their encounters. This was brought about by the Islamic faith and its promulgations in the Glorious Qur’an championed by prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) himself. The prophet during his life time had preferred peace to violent behaviour in propagating the religion of Islam. He was tolerant and not aggressive, peaceful and not violent, and truthful and not a liar. He maintained the principle of moderation and not greed. The contemporary state of religious tolerance leaves much to be desired as religiosity (amalun Salih) is fading. This paper seeks to uproot the reasons for this abnormality and proffer solutions to these problems as they unfold.
