Mutual Respect

Muslims and Latter-day Saints express mutual respect for each other’s beliefs.

Muslims

Islam teaches esteem for other religions, including Christianity. Rather than teaching Muslims to compete in doctrine with people of other faiths, the Qur’an says to “compete with each other in righteousness.” In the end when all return to God, He “will tell you the truth in the matter of your differences” (Qur’an 5:48; see also 5:82).

Latter-day Saints

Latter-day Saints are taught to show respect and love for people of other faiths. In 1978 the Church’s First Presidency declared: “The great religious leaders of the world such as Muhammad … received … God’s light. Moral truths were given to them by God to enlighten whole nations and to bring a higher level of understanding to individuals.”
