Islam and Peace
The Spiritual Goal of Islam

has the will or the capacity to do harm. He gives
others life, not death. He benefits others, doing
injury to no one. In short, he lives among the people
like the rose and not the thorn. He has nothing but
love in his heart to bestow upon others.
CONCLUSION
To sum it up, according to Islam, the highest
spiritual goal for man is his spiritual uplift when he
has attained the high state called ‘peaceful soul’ in
the Qur’an. This may also be termed as complex-
free soul which can withstand all kinds of
negativity.
Thus a developed or complex-free soul is one
which, having reached a high level of thinking, has
risen from all kinds of negativity and has attained a
positive identity in the full sense of the word.
The importance of the peaceful soul, according to
Islam, is its being deserving of salvation and thus
eligible to enter the purest and finest realm of
paradise.
