My religion Islam is Peace: * When God created the heavens and the earth, He so ordered things that each part might perform its function peacefully without clashing with any other part. For billions of years, therefore, the entire universe has been fulfilling its function in total harmony with His divine plan. The Qur’an states: And do not corrupt the land after it has been set in order. (7:85) That is why Islam repeatedly enjoins us to tread the path of patience. The Qur’an says: Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without measure. (39:10). To sum up, Islam is a religion of peace. The Arabic root of Islam is ‘silm’ which means peace. The Qur’an states: ‘… and Gods calls to the home of peace’ (10:25). It is thus God’s will that men and women should jointly establish a society of peace in His world. At the very beginning of the Qur’an, the first invocation reads: “In the name of God, the most Merciful, the most Beneficent. Throughout the Qur’an, God’s name is thus invoked no less than 113 times. Moreover, Qur’an states that the prophets were sent to the world as a mercy to the people (21:107). Muhammad (s) said‘God has commanded man to be patient and forgiving.’(Muslim). Patience, the focus of about 200 verses of the Qur’an, and referred to indirectly in many others, may be termed the core subject of the scriptures.e.g. And seek (God’s) help with patience and prayer.Quran (2:45)
