Abstract

Making unity, fraternal relation, and peace is one of the features of perspicuous religion of Islam. Therefore, peaceful coexistence is considered as one of the most important factors in Islamic societies. Accordingly, the interaction between Muslims and religious minorities based on Zemmeh Agreement is one of the examples of the peacefulness of the perspicuous religion of Islam. There is no doubt that the only way to prove the justice and peacefulness of Islam is through proving the inalienable rights of the religious minorities.  To this end, the present study tries to evaluate the rights of the religious minorities in Imam Ali (AS)’s Speeches in Nahjolbalagheh, and also proves that having peaceful coexistence with other religion’s followers and their rights of living and making money, freedom of  though and speech, equality based on liking of all of the people, the basis of equality by the law and social rights, and the basis of respecting the traditions and rituals of other religions is the Islamic and original thought of Imam Ali (AS). Moreover, this can easily be found in his speeches and behaviors, and this good behavior and respectful manner in relation with all minorities can be easily observed.
