PEACE IN DIFFERENT RELIGIONS
PEACE being the greatest concern of man, all
religions attach importance to it. Indeed, peace is
the essence of all religions, the reason being that
the objectives of religion can never be fulfilled
without peace. The aims of every religion, in
principle, are man’s spiritual development and
the turning of each individual into a responsible
citizen. This kind of education and training can
never be imparted without a peaceful
atmosphere.
Here, without going into too much detail, I
would like to present briefly the teachings of
various religions in this regard. (At the
conclusion, Islam’s concept of peace will be
presented in a somewhat more detailed form, the
reason being that in present times, violence is
mostly spoken of with reference to the religion
of Islam. It is widely believed that Islam justifies
violence, whereas according to my study of the
subject, this notion runs counter to the actual
facts.)
