About This Book

Peace and Conflict Resolution in Islam: Islamic Perspectives on War, Peace and Conflict Resolution presents a compelling argument for Islam as a framework for building and sustaining a society rooted in peace, justice, compassion, tolerance, and equality. Drawing extensively from the Qur'an, Hadith, and historical sources, the book explores the role of Islamic teachings in resolving conflict and promoting harmony at both individual and societal levels. Through an in-depth analysis of the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the early Islamic caliphate, the author demonstrates that Islam, at its core, is a religion of balance and peace. Far from being a distant or outdated tradition, Islam is presented as a relevant and powerful force for modern peacemaking and conflict resolution across the globe. Topics covered include the ethics of war and peace, Islam’s approach to Just War Theory, nonviolence, the nature of interpersonal conflict, and the contributions of Muslim women as champions of peace. The book also addresses common misconceptions about Islam and Muslims while offering practical guidance for conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding Islam's true stance on peace and conflict.
