        Abstract          

With the increasing conflict in the contemporary Muslim society, and the attempt to impose opinion by force, and the emergence of organizations based on killing as a means of survival, in addition to the series of bombings and assassinations that we hear about here and there, this topic needs utmost attention. Since pluralism is the decree of God in force, and an inevitable reality, the solution lies in accepting the option of coexistence with the other while accepting the difference that exists between them, in order to achieve civil peace and social harmony. The contemporary Muslim community is experiencing all these problems rightnow, Accordingly, the research will address the following points:  Identifying the components of the contemporary Muslim society. A statement of the contemporaries’ position on pluralism, and the weighting between the different positions. A statement of the impact of coexistence on the contemporary Muslim society. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used the inductive method and the descriptive analytical method. The study reached several results, the most important of which are; First: By standing on the contemporaries’ position on pluralism; It turns out that there is a group that believes in pluralism and seeks to achieve it on the ground, and another group rejects pluralism and fights everyone who believes in it, And between them there is a middle group that believes in conditional pluralism, which is undoubtedly the logical and reasonable solution to the problem of pluralism in contemporary Muslim society.; Second: As an attempt to abolish pluralism in a society such as our contemporary Muslim societies for the purpose of uniting society, we establish the logic of hostility and disharmony, and throw society into the trap of extremism and the sword of terrorism, and even push it towards an abyss that will swallow it; Third: Coexistence leaves the soul calm and brings peace of mind and takes one away from hatred and intolerance and eliminates sedition and its causes in its bud. Therefore, we must be aware that coexistence among Muslims is a necessity that is increasingly needed day after day, and if it is not achieved on the ground, the alternative will only be more Wars and calamities.
