  45. With respect to other religions, only Islam have traditionally accepted the concept of multiple revelations, in the concept of the “peoples of the book.” The Qur’an invokes the authority of the prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and many others, some of whose names are central to the texts of the Bible. Three major earlier scriptures are cited in the Qur’an: the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, and the Gospel of Jesus. And there were certainly indications that there may have been many other prophets who brought revelations. The Qur’an depicts this multiplicity as part of the divine plan: “To each of you We have ordained a code of law and a way of life. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one community, but His Will is to test you with what He has given ˹each of˺ you. So compete with one another in doing good. To Allah you will all return, then He will inform you ˹of the truth˺ regarding your differences.” (Quran 5:48) The Qur’an affirms that God has created people to be different, and they will always remain different, not only in their appearance but also in their beliefs (Quran 11:118–19) and it is up to each person whether to become abeliever or not. "Had your Lord so willed ˹O Prophet˺, all ˹people˺ on earth would have certainly believed, every single one of them! Would you then force people to become believers?" - Quran 10:99 Interestingly, the Islamic tradition possesses extensive resources that lend themselves to concepts of religious pluralism. The Qur’an (2:256) explicitly states, “There is no compulsion inreligion.” Religious dogma plays a much smaller role for Muslims than it does for Christians, who in various periods of history have been much more absorbed with questions of orthodoxy and heresy. A well known statement of the Prophet Muhammad illustrates this concept of pluralism and is often understood as authorizing different interpretations of Islamic law: “Difference of opinionis a mercy for my community.” It would be hard to find the equivalent to this recognition of pluralism in any Christian theological doctrine.
