Abstract
Islam and Christianity have had a chequered relationship with each other through the centuries. Many efforts have been made since and great work has been produced to bring the two communities to a common ground and help build a prosperous, harmonious and pluralistic society in the true spirit of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who advocated peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding between the communities. His desire for peace and abhorrence of war translated into a number of covenants He offered to Christian community. These documents provide a workable infrastructure for establishing peaceful coexistence and religious pluralism around the globe. This paper draws our attention to the fact that need for building such a commendable relationship between the two large communities of the world was perhaps never more acutely needed today than before. The study uses historical and descriptive research to highlight the importance of the Prophet’s covenants for establishing universal brotherhood between communities in general and building bridges between Muslims and Christians in Pakistan in particular with the help of the Prophet’s pluralistic approach as reflected in His covenants.
