Abstract

The bipolarity of refusal and theoretical and practical possibility can be considered in all thoughts, which is also evident in Islamic law. The group of abstainers in religious tolerance and legal pluralism, despite entering modernity and postmodern eras, continue to provide appropriate opinions. From this point of view, religious tolerance with others is either impossible or, if possible, within certain limits of Sharia law. As a result, pluralism in law also makes sense for them.
On the other hand, a group that is mainly religious neo-thinkers, believes that Islamic Sharia can be interpreted and divided into different areas. In this spectrum, some extend this possibility to the point that Sharia is not the whole truth, but a part of the truth. Another spectrum, in spite of drawing an equal relationship between Sharia and truth, they consider many ways to reach it.
This multiplicity within the discourse must be associated with other religions, thoughts and discourses. Because it is necessary for world peace to connect with others at some point, especially if we seek lasting peace. Sustainable peace in the field of international law is not only the absence of war, but also a step s in religious tolerance and legal pluralism and their mutual influence on each other and the possibility of achieving lasting peace in this way. In possibility of religious tolerance from the point of view of abstainers? If possible, where are the limits?
The method used in this work is analytical-applicative. Based on this, by examining the concepts, relationships and areas of each of the elements used in this work, it is explained that with practical approaches through religious tolerance and legal pluralism, it is possible to achieve sustainable peace in the world arena.
