PEACE AND HARMONY

TO THE MIDDLE EAST

istory witnessed peace, justice and love in the lands ruled by
H Muslim administrators who followed the guidance of Qur'an.
The practices in the lands conquered during the lifetime of the Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) are very important examples, and just administra-
tors succeeding him, who followed in the footsteps of God's messen-
gers and never swerved from the morality of the Qur'an established
peaceable societies. The true justice, righteousness and honesty

described in the Qur'an persisted in the time of these administrators,
thereby providing a role model for the succeeding generations to fol-
low.
The land of Palestine and its capital Jerusalem, where members of

the three Divine religions reside together, are important in the sense
that they show how Muslims bring peace and stability to the lands
they rule. Indeed, for most of the last 1,400 years, Muslim rule has
brought peace to Jerusalem and Palestine.
