Islam and Peace
Even though the modern world is portraying Islam as the religion of terrorism but ultimately Islam is the religion of peace and modesty. The meaning of the word Islam is peace and throughout the whole Quran- Muslims’ religious book this aspect is been reinforced.
The religious leader of Islam Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM) has always conveyed the message of fraternity and modesty among people. For example He has always encouraged people to forgive others even though they have caused a great bit of harm. Moreover in Islam revenge is strongly discouraged.
Some people may argue about the concept of Zihad which means fighting against the people who assault the core concept of Islam. Zihad is not only about getting a sword and killing people. It is both physical and psychological. Islam has always discouraged people to engage in fight and even if other people start doing this, they are told to settle the dispute in a peaceful manner.
In Holy Quran Allah has ordered the Muslim to follow the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad (SM) and throughout the life time He has suggested people to follow the path of peace, harmony, brotherhood and modesty which will lead them to Heaven.
