Global Peace – An Islamic Perspective ACET– Global Peace Project

Ten key concepts from the Quran

This section focuses on core quotes from the Quran, which have been organised under the

following titles or “key concepts”, and are listed in no particular order of importance:

1. Kindness to humanity

2. Doing good and avoiding evil

3. Being pious and righteous

4. Respect for humanity

5. Being just

6. Being of service to humanity

7. Oneness of humanity

8. Being humble

9. Being merciful

10. Love towards humanity

There is a brief explanation of each concept, to give some context to the Islamic perspective,

before the Quranic quotes are listed. The intention of ACET–Global is that people can read each

quote in light of the concept with which it is associated, but also more generally, thus taking
what they wish from its words. If readers want more context of a quote, they are encouraged

to use the verse reference to find its location in the Quran. Here we have provided just some of

the words of the Quran that resonate with the concepts of peace, unity and harmonious living.

These quotes highlight the peaceful underpinnings of Islam, countering misrepresentations of

this religion as one of violence and terror – a misinformed opinion that is often propagated by

extreme minorities and then portrayed across mass media.
