1ligions), which establishes that all divine religions are rooted in one fundamental truth: the oneness of Allah. In the context of Christianity, if religious harmony and pluralism are analyzed, the Bible contains numerous verses that teach respect and honor for humanity without discrimination. These verses advocate for religious freedom, harmony, and the dignity of human beings, which form the foundation of religious pluralism. Both Islam and Christianity endorse this concept. For instance, the Quranic verse, "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion" and the biblical teachings on human dignity and religious freedom reinforce this notion. Despite religious differences, providing equal freedom and opportunities to all individuals under a social or governmental system represents the practical application of religious pluralism. This concept plays a vital role in fostering global peace, tolerance, and harmony among different religions.

Zani o zaniyah ghair shadi shudah hon to unhein sow koron ki saza di jati hai, aur agar zani o zaniyah shadi shudah hon to phir rajm ki saza di jati hai. Koron ki saza ka zikr Qur’an Majeed ki Surah An-Nur mein hua hai, jabke rajm ki saza ka zikr Qur’an mein wazahat ke saath nahi aaya hai. Albattah baaz Ahadith-e-Nabawiyyah se yeh saza sabit hoti hai, jaise ke Sahih Bukhari ki hadees: ‘Shadi shudah ke liye saza rajm hai agar woh zina kare’ se rajm ka hukm diya gaya hai. Taham Qur’an Majeed mein zina ki saza ke hawale se qatl ka koi wazeh hukm maujood nahi hai. (If an unmarried man and woman commit adultery, they are to be punished with a hundred lashes, and if they are married, then the punishment is stoning to death. The punishment of lashes is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in Surah An-Nur, whereas the punishment of stoning is not explicitly stated in the Qur'an. However, this punishment is proven by certain Prophetic Hadiths, such as the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari which says: 'The punishment for a married person who commits adultery is stoning.' Nonetheless, there is no clear command in the Qur'an prescribing death as a punishment for adultery).
