Why do you think the Ottoman and Safavid rulers allowed some religious tolerance?

Answer :

Some religious tolerance was tolerated because the Ottomans collected religious taxes from non-Muslims (economic benefit) and because people of other religions contributed to Muslim society.

What is Religious tolerance?

  • Religious tolerance was widespread in the Ottoman Empire because religion was critical to maintaining peace and stability.
  • Religious leaders were revered because they could be relied on in times of need. Furthermore, religious authorities played an important role in ensuring that people coexisted peacefully.
  • Religious tolerance refers to the ability to respect spiritual ideals, beliefs, and practices that differ from your own.
  • This goal is difficult to achieve due to the wide variety of religions and spiritual beliefs practiced in today's world. Religion is another sensitive topic.
  • Because the Safavid Empire ruled over a predominantly Persian ethnicity, their justification for not tolerating other religions did not apply to many people within their own empire.
