This reasreach explores the approach of peaceful coexistence with the other in contemporary Islamic political thought. Islam emphasizes the foundations of human coexistence through values such as justice, equality, and mercy. It guarantees the rights of non-Muslims within the Islamic society, including freedom of belief and the practice of religious rituals.The research focuses on six main themes: the rights of non-Muslims in society, tolerance and acceptance of the other, the concept of citizenship, mechanisms of peaceful interaction and coexistence, the principle of justice in relationships, and the study of the Constitution of Medina as a pioneering historical model for organizing relations between Muslims and others. The reasreach aims to highlight the contemporary Islamic political perspective on these principles and the continuity of the prophetic approach in promoting peaceful coexistence, thereby reinforcing shared human values in modern societies.
