A RESEARCH REVIEW OF THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PEACEMAKING IN THE LIGHT OF PROPHET’S LIFE

Abstract

Social peace is the need of the hour and that is why Allah sent all the prophets with a purpose of teaching peace, but at the same time made it conditional on obedience to the prophets to establish peace. Allah has always made this world a cradle of peace to keep it free from filth like oppression, evil, corruption and sedition and sent the prophets with the message of peace for the procedure. But unfortunately, at this time in the world, every effort is being made to associate Muslims with such heinous acts as terrorism. While the Western world, which is outwardly presenting itself as a champion of human rights, is raising the slogan of combating corruption and establishing peace, in the name of ending terrorism, it is committing social, economic, political and moral riots all over the world. It began with the war between America and Russia, and in the present era, it is increasing day by day in a ruthless manner in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Palestine to achieve its illegitimate goals, and its lust is not about to end. But on the contrary, the West has started criticizing Islam and Muslims and is making terrorism mandatory with Islam and considering its followers as terrorists and enemies of humanity. All this is a conspiracy to destroy the social peace of the world by calling Muslims rioters on the basis of ignorance and prejudice about the true spirit of Islam. Therefore, there is a need to bring to the world such principles and rules from Islamic teachings on peace, and especially from the life of the Holy Prophet, which aim to clear the accusations leveled against Islam and to show the world how the Holy Prophet and his companions established peace in society and set examples of justice, tolerance, basic human rights, and religious freedom, not only with Muslims but also with non-Muslims. Therefore, this article mentions the principles from the life of the Holy Prophet, thanks to which peace was established in the Madanī society. Even today, social peace can be established by following these principles.
