Ideology of Peace
PEACE IN ISLAM

bomb is the way of Satan. On the contrary, the way
approved of by God is to neutralize the bomb.
It is but natural for any given society to have to face
distasteful situations. No group of human beings
can ever be totally free from untoward happenings
in their midst. This being so, the actual solution to
the problem lies not in putting an end to the
unpleasantness itself, but rather in refraining from
aggravating matters, which is what inevitably
happens if one kind of unpleasantness is met with
another. Again, I would reiterate that bombs should
not be countered with bombs. By refraining from
violence, the baneful influence of social friction can
be checked from spreading. There is no other
possible solution.
WAR ONLY FOR DEFENCE
The Quran states:
“Permission to fight is given to those who are
attacked because they have been wronged.”
(22:39)
