In a world divided by conflict, how can centuries old wisdom pave the way for lasting
Peace?
In Islamic tradition, peace is not merely an ideal, it is a Divine command. It's not just about the absence of violence or the end of aggression, but it is about justice, about mutual respect, and ensuring equality and equity.
There are numerous conflicts around the world involving Muslim societies, however, the sad fact remains that many of the international peace processes have either failed or stalled. The need for a peace approach that respects cultural and religious values has never been more important.
The “Guide to Peacemaking Using Islamic Principles” has been developed through a collaboration of top Islamic scholars and global peace practitioners. It addresses a long-standing gap that most English language mediation manuals are almost exclusively devised around Western oriented conflict resolution techniques. This guide merges Islamic teachings with global best practices within peacemaking, offering new tools for international mediators, diplomats, and policymakers to foster more sustainable and locally owned resolutions.
Stay tuned for the release of the Guide to Peacemaking Using Islamic principles. Release date: June 7, 2024
