تسامح الحاكم و أثره في تحقيق الأمن و الازدهار : الملك عبد العزيز آل سعود نموذجا

Abstract EN

The main argument of the present paper is that Islam recognizes tolerance as a moral value which has been embodied in its teachings.

However, the concept of tolerance in Islam is constructed in a way different from the Western concept of tolerance.

Tolerance in Islam goes in harmony with its concept of religion and justice.

King Abdul Aziz Al Saud is one of the most influential political figures in the 20th century.

He was gifted with a great deal of tolerance upon which he has established his Kingdom.

This has resulted in economic prosperity, political stability, and unity of different tribes.

The King’s correspondence with the Western nations reveals a great deal of religious tolerance as he was concerned with strengthening the friendship and maintenance of continuous and objective dialogue.

The paper's recommendations include the undertaking of objective studies that link the King’s tolerance and the unification of the tribes, and the integration of some of the King’s statements on tolerance in the education materials of school curriculum which will be influence the mind-set of boys and girls and the behavior of the general public.
