Press Statement：Institute Of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM) on Religious Pluralism , 15 December 2010
The Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM) wishes to clarify that:
Firstly, Islam rejects religious pluralism which claims that all religions are equally true and equally good.
Secondly, only one religion possesses the perfect and complete revelation, that is, Islam (see the Qur'an, Al-Maidah, 5:3).
Thirdly, Islam nevertheless recognises that truths, goodness and ethical beauty do exist in the other religions. While Islam forbids the practice of making religion a mockery and a plaything, it continuously welcomes fair, just and honest attitude as well as integrity, wherever they may have originated. Such ethical goodness and beauty should be synergised to thrust Malaysian society towards prosperity and harmony.
Fourthly, national unity should be nurtured by encouraging the uniqueness of each religious tradition and simultaneously encouraging the attitude of mutual goodwill, mutual empathy and mutual love as fellow neighbours and fellow human beings who originate from one living entity despite their religious differences.
Fifthly, issues amongst different religious followers have to be resolved with the utmost justice, fairness and with the spirit of mutual respect towards religious fundamentals.
Sixthly, followers of different religions should also be encouraged to compete in the undertakings of good deeds, for example, in upholding the rights of the poor and the needy, enjoining good deeds and forbidding evil deeds, whether towards the common citizens or leaders, through proper, cultured, honest and sincere means.
