Abstract
The way in which people interact and address one another is crucial to expressing
their social relationship; it encodes the relationship between interlocutors and
reflects cultural values. Proper use of words in addressing a fellow or people
strengthens peaceful coexistence among individuals and groups within and
outside a given cultural setting. On the contrary, the unguarded use of words
has been the primary cause of conflicts and disharmony around the world. The
Holy Qur’an, as a divine revelation and guide from the Almighty, advocates
good social relationships through speech and encourages respect for individual
differences through words. At the same time, it warns against aggressive and
unhealthy language. This present study examines the principles of communication
and interaction contained in Surah Al-Hujraat (Qur’an, chapter 49) as a tool
for a peaceful and harmonious relationship among individuals and groups. The
study adopts the qualitative content analysis approach to analyze the chapter’s
extracted verses. The findings of the study reveal that the chapter provides some
rudimental principles of interaction that promote the language of respect, and
peaceful communication among individuals and groups in the society that enhance
interpersonal relationships, regardless of race, color, rank, or tribe.
