Abstract

Islam is the religion of tranquillity and serenity. It emphasizes, compassion, tolerance, and pertinence. Islam promotes a sense of loyalty to Allah and the equality of all human beings before him. A Muslim is someone who avoids causing harm to others with his speech and action, although many non-Muslims have never encountered a Muslim, they only heard about Islam association with violence. Islam is full of core beliefs that encourage peace and conflict resolution. The Quran and hadith place a high value on jihad, not terrorism. Quran is the book of ideology that wages an ideological struggle to win people’s hearts and minds. Many individuals feel that the idea of Islamic reality depicted in the Quran and Hadith is drastically different from what they are. Islam is a contemporary, progressive, and enlightened faith as depicted in the Quran. Islam is nonviolent faith that despises ‘Fassad’(violence). Islam was more than a simple collection of religious beliefs; it was a system of principles, ethics, and goals that applied to all areas of human existence. This study depended on the use and analysis of the authentic and authorized Islamic sources that constitute the source of epistemology. And will attempt to throw light on peace and conflict, its cause, and prevention.
