Prophet Mohammed promoted pluralism during his time and he and his companions promoted inter- faith worship. These facts were revealed by the National Missioner of the Ansar- Ud- Deen Society of Nigeria, Imam Abdulrrahman Ahmad during a zoom interview organised by the Toyin Falola Interviews.
According to Imam Ahmed, Prophet Mohammed allowed Christians and other faiths to worship in mosques and Muslims to worship in the congregations of other faiths.
He said all Islamic rules and laws and regulations are about the question: will it promote the social good or will it keep evil away?
Imam Ahmad stated that Islam is not about extremism and it is those who do not understand what Islam is about that promote extremism.
Imam Ahmad stressed that Islam promotes the leadership, education and integration of women in various communities and does not support their marginalisation. He maintained that the relative under education of women in northern Nigeria relative to the South seems to be due to cultural, social and chauvinistic reasons rather than Islam.
