Global Peace – An Islamic Perspective ACET– Global Peace Project
“We sent to the people of Midian their brother Shu’ayb who also told his people to worship
God their only Lord. He said, “A guidance has come to you from your Lord. Maintain proper
measures and weights in trade. Do not cause any deficiency in people’s property or destroy
the land after it has been reformed. This is for your own good, if you have any faith.”
(7:85, Translation from the Quran)
“My people, be just in your weighing and measuring. Do not defraud people or spread evil in
the land.” (11:85, Translation from the Quran)
“If you want retaliation, let it be equal to that which you faced. But if you exercise patience it
will be better for you.” (16:126, Translation from the Quran)
“God commands (people) to maintain justice, kindness, and proper relations with their relatives.
He forbids them to commit indecency, sin, and rebellion. God gives you advice so that perhaps
you will take heed.” (16:90, Translation from the Quran)
“We reveal the Quran, which is cure and mercy for the believers; and it adds nothing to the
unjust but loss.” (17:82, Translation from the Quran)
“Moses said, “My Lord knows best who has received guidance from Him and who will achieve
a happy end. The unjust ones certainly will have no happiness.”” (28:37, Translation from the
Quran)
“Before this (the Quran), the Book of Moses was a guide and a blessing. This Book confirms
the Torah. It is in the Arabic language so that it may warn the unjust people, and give glad
news to the righteous ones.” (46:12, Translation from the Quran)
“God does not forbid you to deal kindly and justly with those who have not fought against
you about the religion or expelled you from your homes. God loves those who are just.”
(60:8, Translation from the Quran)
