Therefore, gathering for prayer and fasting is possible in the light of unity and brotherhood. Peace and Reconciliation: The Strategy of Islam The divine religion of Islam invites people above all to peace, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence. With the slogan “Peace is best” (al-sulh khayr), Islam presents peace as one of its highest goals. The Holy Qur’an declares: “If the unbelievers incline to peace, then you too should incline to it” .

[14] In another verse, believers are called upon to establish universal peace: “O you who believe, enter into peace altogether, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan, for he is to you an open enemy” . [15] These verses, along with others concerning relations between Muslims and non-Muslims and the conduct of the Prophet (PBUHH) and Imam Ali (AS) throughout their blessed lives, demonstrate that Islam’s domestic and foreign policies are founded upon peaceful coexistence.

Islam always strives to establish peace and tranquility in the world. Accordingly, whenever an enemy proposes peace, the Islamic ruler is obliged to accept it and suspend warfare, unless such peace would harm Islam and weaken Muslims. On this basis, Imam Ali (AS) said: “Do not reject peace offered by your enemy if it is in accordance with God’s pleasure, for peace brings rest to your soldiers, relief to your mind, and security for your land.

But after reconciliation, remain vigilant and cautious, for sometimes peace is offered deceitfully. Therefore, never abandon caution, and suspect optimism in such peace” . [16] Throughout history, discord and lack of reconciliation among Muslims have often caused weakness and the disintegration of Islamic unity.

Indeed, is not one of the main reasons for the weakness of Muslim nations in the face of global arrogance and their submission to oppression and atrocities, the internal discord that divides them? This, too, is part of the enemies’ schemes against Islam. Conclusion Reconciliation between people means removing resentments and turning them into friendship and sincerity between two Muslims or two parties of people.
