khadiJah Mohd khaMbali, azaRudin aWang, SuRaYa Sintang, nuR faRhana abdul RahMan, Wan adli Wan RaMli & khaiRul nizaM Mat kaRiM ABSTRAK Saudara Baru, Saudara Muslim dan Mualaf merupakan istilah yang sering dirujuk sebagai individu yang mulai berjinak-jinak dengan agama Islam. Realitinya, individu yang digelar sedemikian dalam konteks Malaysia merupakan antara individu yang telah lama memeluk Islam. Perkara seumpama ini mampu mempengaruhi interaksi dan integrasi dalam kalangan komuniti Saudara Baru, komuniti Muslim asal dan ahli keluarga asal bukan Muslim. Selanjutnya, ia menimbulkan isu etnik akibat ketidakfahaman berhubung isu-isu yang berlegar dalam kehidupan Saudara Baru. Sehubungan itu, istilah Muhajir dilihat lebih sesuai dengan maksud Saudara Baru dalam konteks Malaysia yang lebih menonjol sebagai penjana interaksi dan toleransi beragama dalam kalangan warga Malaysia yang beraneka etnik. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan melihat pengalaman toleransi beragama dalam kehidupan komuniti Muhajir-Muslim-non-Muslim. Data diperolehi menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan tumpuan kepada kaedah temu bual ke atas dua puluh orang Muhajir di Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia. Hasil dapatan memperlihatkan bahawa situasi yang ditonjolkan dalam hubungan Muslim-bukan Muslim-komuniti Muhajir di negeri Terengganu telah menyerlahkan budaya toleransi dalam kepelbagaian hidup bersama. Hubungan ini diperlihatkan melalui jalinan perkenalan, pertemuan dan tinggal bersama yang membentuk hubungan persahabatan, persaudaraan dan persemendaan merentas batasan agama. Ini menunjukkan Muhajir memainkan peranan dalam melestarikan pemupukan toleransi khususnya dalam hubungan Muslim dan bukan Muslim di Malaysia.

Dialogue of life is a form of inter-religious dialogue which commonly takes place at any place and any time. It is a dialogical relation to promote amicable relation with people from different religions. It begins when one encounters, lives and interacts with the others and participates in daily life activities together. It is a social interaction which shows the involvement of non-elite participants in the inter-religious dialogue at the grass roots level. The nonelite participation in the inter-religious dialogue is necessary to accommodate the challenge of pluralistic society. This kind of process which involves the social interaction in everyday activity is known as a dialogue of life. Those activities can be seen in the life experience of living together with mix-faith family, celebrating festivities and wedding ceremony as well as doing (running) business with the other religious communities. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the concept of dialogue of life and how this dialogue has a significant impact on encouraging positive interaction among people of different religions in Malaysia.

This article seeks to explain the concept of the dialogue of h.ikma as a qur'anic principle in developing harmony in Muslim-non-Muslim relations.
