Peace in Islam

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Peace in Islam

Scholars define peace as—absence of war. This definition is a negative definition. The positive definition of peace is that peace is the presence of opportunities. Peace normalizes the situation, peace opens the door of opportunities, and by availing these opportunities we can attain all kinds of success. India is a great name in the map of peace. It was India that produced a great pacifist like Mahatma Gandhi.

It is a fact that there is violence being witnessed all over the world. Every person wants the situation to be reformed. According to the law of nature, we cannot change people. There is only one option before us, that is, to educate people about the teaching of tolerance. This teaching is universally accepted as coexistence. The need of the hour is to apply this principle in the field of religion as well. Peace and harmony are the greatest need of the times.
