In light of recent events it is important we understand the essence of peace and what the Sunnah says regarding it. Islam comes from the word salaam which means peace. SubhanAllah, we greet each other by saying salaam or wishing peace—but it should not be words only, it should reflect our actions. Peace is a divine quality that we must strive to reach. Prophet Muhammad (S) promoted and created peace in all aspects of life.
In order to maintain peace, the Prophet Muhammad (S) commanded us that we must open our hearts to all.
In order to maintain peace, the Prophet Muhammad (S) commanded us that we must open our hearts to all.
Prophet Muhammad (S) said, "Do not cut relations between each other! Do not turn your backs on each other! Do not grow hatred between each other! O God's servants! Become brothers and sisters!" (Muslim, Birr, 23, 24, 28.)
Insha'Allah let us all pray for peace.
