Peace and Love

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, and Most Merciful


Peace and Love


Everyone can pretend to love the other.


But not everyone can prove this love:
Not everyone can sacrifice Himself as well as his property or his time for the other's benefit.


So, if anyone feels love towards someone else, maybe he would hate most of the others, in the most cases.


This case reveals hatred which may lead to enmity that provokes hostility and aggression.


These wicked characters constitute the characteristic of the living life of the individuals and communities.


These bad characteristics are so the innate feature of Man.


Because this causes pain, Islam came to correct the behaviors of man, so as to establish Peace between people as well as communities.

Tagline

 

 


Islam's tag-line is so Peace, because the word ISLAM is derived from SALAM (Peace).


Hence, Islam means Peace, and all its rules aim at implanting Peace Values inside the Human Heart.

Then, if  Peace and Love are the lost wish for most people, they are the substantial purposes of Islam. According that Islam aims at founding a platform of brotherhood and coexistence between people.

 

Evidence

 

The messenger of peace Muhammad (PBUH) made clear the meanings of the message of Peace (Islam), when He clarified that the (Pure) Muslim is he who behaves Peacefully, as follows:

1- Narrated Abu Musa: Some people asked Allah's Apostle (PBUH), "Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?" He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands."  

2- Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: A man asked the Prophet (PBUH) , "What sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet replied, 'To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not .'

3- Narrated Anas: The Prophet (PBUH)   said, "None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself."  

Collected by Bukhari (Book:2/10-11-12)

 

Purpose

 

The ultimate purpose of this noble Peacemaker is to create (one) unified community, wherein peoples would be gathered as one people, who seeks the same goal and common benefits.

This is not false pretenses, but the truth confirmed by The Holy Quran in many verses. The clear evidence of this is that it's mentioned twice in the Holy Book that all humanity belongs to the same Father  and  Mother, Adam and Eve who were created by The Same God (ALLAH): The Most Merciful. 

Allah (GOD) the Exalted Has said (what means):
" O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you."  Meanings of Holy Quran(Surah/4- Women:1)

 

Therefore, all people should connect with each other and share the necessities of life on this earth, PEACEFULLY.

Allah said (what means):
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
Meanings of Holy Quran(Surah/49-The Private Apartments:13)                                                                                                                                     

 

Peaceful Community

 

The Messenger of God (PBUH) gave an example of the Peaceful Muslim Community, when He said:

"You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it."   Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: (Bukhari/ 73-40).

 

Universal Peaceful Invitation

 

Thus, Islam calls to Peace, and its call is everlasting, and it is directed to all mankind.

Allah said (what means):
"O ye who believe! Enter into Islam (Salam) whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy."
Meanings of  Holy Quran(Surah/2 - The Cow:208)
