CONCEPT OF ISLAMIC PEACE

Islam is monotheistic religion and according to Quran all the people are children of Adam. Satan is considered as enemy of the whole humanity to cause enmity among all people. The series of prophets and messengers coming from God through out the ages is to call the people again towards their real identity of love and friendship.The good life according to Islam is in submitting to God and in worshiping Him as The Creator and The Master andto recognize the true nature of man.The individual who will recognize his true nature on which every person is createdwill be able to live together in society with peace and affection to each other. In his Last Sermon, the Prophet Muhammad admonished believers: * "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you."Jeffrey Wattles holds that the compassion appears in the following statements attributed to Muhammad: * “Woe to those . . . who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due” * The Qur'an commends "those who show their affection to such as came to them for refuge and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves" * “None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.” * "Seek for mankind that of which you are desirous for yourself, that you may be a believer; treat well as a neighbor the one who lives near you, that you may be a Muslim [one who submits to God]." * “That which you want for yourself, seek for mankind.”[8] * "The most righteous of men is the one who is glad that men should have what is pleasing to himself, and who dislikes for them what is for him disagreeable."
