This research aims to study the features of Kurdish cultural discourse through the lens of a prominent scholarly and intellectual figure: Sheikh Abdul Karim al-Mudarris, a leading figure in 20th-century Iraq. His thought and conduct exemplified a firm model of tolerance and coexistence among the diverse ethnic and religious components of Iraqi society. His scholarly and practical experience served as a practical model for an open cultural discourse grounded in Islamic principles and embracing social diversity.
The research reached several conclusions, most notably that Sheikh al-Mudarris emphasized in his writings that coexistence and peace are fundamental principles of Islam, derived from Quranic texts that establish human unity, reinforce the values of justice and mercy, promote respect for others, and prevent discord. He also demonstrated that peaceful coexistence among people is a fixed Quranic principle that should govern the relations between Muslims and others, and that this coexistence should be based on humanitarian and ethical foundations endorsed and supported by Islam in its legislation and guidance.
