Peace in Quran

The title of the thesis is “Peace in Quran” . The thesis is based upon examining the word “Peace” and its derivatives which are mentioned in the Quran. It is related to the first pattern of the (objective interpretation) which is concerned with the study of a word which is repeated many times in the holy Quran , and that is by compiling the verses in which that word and its derivatives are mentioned, then interpreting them, deducing their meanings and uses in the Quran and relating their meanings in various topics if possible.

The real meaning of the word “peace” in Arabic involves disowning , riddance, salvation, recovery and recuperation from evil, imperfection, and diseases whether apparent or hidden, perceptible or incorporeal.

The word peace and its derivatives are mentioned in (132) passages in the Quran. Studying their meanings in the Quran, I found out that they do not depart from their meaning, and that all the mentioned conjugations and derivatives of the word in the Quran refer to one meaning, and that is: freedom from apparent or hidden diseases and deformities.

Islam makes peace first in the mind of the individual, then in the family, the community and finally in the international field among nations and peoples. Islam seeks peace in the relationship between the individual and his lord, the individual and his soul, and the individual and community. Then it seeks peace in the relationship between a sect and other sects, the individuals and the government, and after these steps, it seeks peace in the relationship of a country with other countries. Islam takes a long road in order to achieve that last objective through the peace of mind, the peace of home, the peace of the community and at the end, the peace of the world.

That is peace in the Quran. It is a comprehensive and an intergraded idea. Islam is the religion of peace: peace in its name, peace in its name, peace in its greetings, peace in the night of the revelation of the Quran, peace in the name the Lord, peace in the creed, peace in its relations with the followers of other religions, peace and performance of good deeds in the private life requirements, peace and righteousness between those who adopt its principles on the one hand and other people on the other as long as they do not fight Moslems for their faith, drive them out of their homes, attack them or confront them, but if they do so, Islam will be only then a war against injustice and aggression, and that is also in the cause of Allah (God) Almighty. Islam is also peace in governance and justice in deciding the right between the Arabs and non – Arabs and between Moslems and non Moslems. In short:

Islam pure peace

One of the greatest means of achieving peace is review the biography of Prophet Mohammad (May Allah bless him and grant him salvation) who is doubtlessly the Messenger of peace, security and safety. He is the living image of application of all concepts of peace to the individual, the family and the community, and peace with non – Moslems.
