Abstract

This chapter explores the role of social ethics in managing ethnic diversity among the members of the Muslim community of the CIS countries in the light of the Qur’ānic approach with special reference to a few selected verses related to al-’Amr bi al-Maʿrūf wa al-Nahy ʿan al-Munkar (enjoining right and forbidding wrong). Indeed, ethnic diversity might be used as a tool to ignite conflicts among the members of a multi-ethnic society if it is not properly and timely managed. Therefore, the main goal of this chapter is to understand the relationship between social ethics and ethnic diversity and to show how social ethics is utilized to manage ethnic differences by analyzing the content of selected Qur’ānic verses dealing with this subject. This chapter starts with the background of the study, which is followed by a discussion on the definition of ethnic diversity, the CIS countries’ ethnicities, social ethics, and al-’Amr bi al-Maʿrūf wa al-Nahy ʿan al-Munkar. A few suggested steps on how to use social ethics in managing ethnic diversity based on the selected Qur’ānic verses and Prophetic sayings dealing with the Islamic injunction, namely, al-’Amr bi al-Maʿrūf wa al-Nahy ʿan al-Munkar, are examined. The findings of this study offer new ways and understandings for ethnic diversity management and the prevention of conflicts among members of multiethnic societies, especially the Muslim ethnic groups of the CIS countries.
