Islam and Peace
Non-Violence and Islam
~ 273 ~
Islam once again brought before the world as a non-
violent religion, or as a peaceful social system, then
once again humanity would accept it, recognising it
to be the voice of its own nature.
Modern man is in need of a new religion or a new
system, based on peace. It should be free from
superstitious beliefs, and should provide the
answers to deep psychological questions, on our
flawed existence. Its principles should not clash
with scientific realities, and it should be supported
by a victorious history.
Today no religion but Islam can lay such positive
claims to acceptance, for it is Islam and Islam alone
which fulfills all these conditions. Individually,
there are many men and women today who, after
having studied Islam, have acknowledged these
unique qualities in Islam. Some have acknowledged
them in theory while others have gone ahead and
accepted Islam in practice.
