عہدِخلافتِ عثمانیہ میں بین المذاہب ہم آہنگی کے مظاہر

Abstract

The Ottoman Empire is a remarkable sign of human prosperity, welfare, religious harmony and tolerance in the history of the nations. It highlights the ideal and splendid relationship between the Muslim ruling majority and all the minorities irrespective of their religions and cultural norms. This great Muslim Dynasty comprised of six centuries and three continents. The Non-Muslims had absolute religious, social, economic and political freedom. They did not face any prejudice and hatred rather they were given all types of security and protection in observing their multi-dimensional rights. The educated Non-Muslims enjoyed all the high ranks according to their profile. They were not only allowed to observe their religious obligations rather they were insured and secured to do so. They had the liberty to build up their worship places. In the Ottoman Empire, the Non-Muslims enjoyed all the basic facilities of   education and health. They were free to lead a hassle free social and economic life. The great Muslim dynasty did not force any of its subjects to abandon his believes and accept the Muslim commandments. But, unfortunately, some segments of the modern world, especially a group of orientalists do not admit and accept this bright phase of the Muslim history. Today, they are of the opinion that the Muslims have been and are causing, promoting and propagating religious extremism, terrorism and Non-Muslim killing. It is the need of the literary and scholarly circles to bring forth the true and bright face of the Muslims with reference to a genuine and impartial study and analysis of the historical references. The following research article has been compiled to fulfill this present day need of the intellectual world.
