For instance...

For instance, the Qur’an says: “There is no good in much of their secret talks, excepting him who enjoins charity or what is right or reconciliation between people… [4] .” In another verse: “If two groups of the faithful fight one another, make peace between them… [5] “ Meanwhile, the Arabic term “Silm” or “Salaam” are interchangeably used in the Qur’an to mean “peace”, “reconciliation” or “peacemaking” and this is used in another verse: “If they incline toward peace, then you [too] incline toward it, and put your trust in Allah… [6] “ Therefore, from the above definitions of peace, it is obvious that the term “peace” could either be an individual or social peace.

However, this paper focuses mainly on the social aspects of peace, which is concerned with the international relations among the nations of the world. The world (or global) peace, on the other hand, is defined as the concept of an ideal state of happiness, freedom, and peace within and among all people and nations on earth.

This idea of world non-violence is one motivation for people and nations to willingly cooperate, either voluntarily or by virtue of a system of governance that objects it will be solved by love and peace [7] . In other words, a world (or global) peace is considered an ideal situation in which all the people of the world work together to avoid war and violence and the world becomes a better place to live in.

However, it is necessary to state that the proposed concept of global peace is not only restricted to the absence of war, violence, and insecurity among the nations of the world; rather it encompasses a relationship that is built on equity, justice, mutual cooperation, sovereignty, development and progress of the people and nations.

2: Islam The term ‘Islam’ is derived from an Arabic root S-L-M; which according to (Hans Wehr, 1976) literally means submission; resignation, and reconciliation (to the will of God) [8] . However, in a technical term, according to (Ibn Manzour) and (Azhari), Islam in a religious context means a display of humbleness and obedience to the message of the Prophet [9] .

In other words, the term ‘Islam’ is a religion of total and complete submission to the will and dictates of God; the Almighty, and the directives of His Apostle; Hazrat Muhammad son of Abdullah. Thus, the adherents and followers of Islam are therefore referred to as Muslims (i.e., one who surrenders to the will of God).
