NATURALIST TOLERANCE RULES

Bagi tiap-tiap umat yang ada di antara kamu, Kami jadikan suatu Syariat dan jalan ugama. Dan kalau Allah menghendaki nescaya Ia menjadikan kamu satu umat, tetapi Ia hendak menguji kamu apa yang telah disampaikan kepada kamu. Oleh itu berlumba-lumbalah kamu membuat kebaikan. Kepada Allah jualah tempat kembali kamu semuanya, maka Ia (ie. bukan kamu) akan memberitahu kamu apa yang kamu berselisihan padanya. (5:48)
