This time, sponsored by the Sotoshu-Buddhist group, we had the opportunity to present Islam to the Buddhists who hold positions within the Gifu prefecture.
The Islamic teachings of, god being alone and the 6 Iman and 5 Ibadah,. Also the current situation of Muslims living in Japan was our primary talk.
I completely agree on the opinion made during the answer and question time, that having mutual respect towards other religions and also having the interest to understand is what’s important.
Historically speaking, there are numbers of example that Islam had peacefully coexisted with other religions. I believe it is still possible.
I felt very delighted seeing a Buddhist showing interest on Islam and coming to ask for books to learn furthermore about Islam after the discussion.
【Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.】（Quran16：125）
【Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.】（Quran60：8）
