SIMILARITIES TO ISLAM · PEACE
Peace-Making as Blessed
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
[Al-Anfāl - 61]
﴿ ۞ وَإِن جَنَحُواْ لِلسَّلۡمِ فَٱجۡنَحۡ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ﴾ [الأنفال - ٦١]
[Al-Anfāl - 61] But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
This verse is relevant because it highlights a shared moral ideal: the divine approval of those who bring peace. By pointing to such parallels, Muslims assert that Islam continues a scriptural tradition that honors peacemaking as a sacred endeavor, uniting people under the banner of compassion and mutual understanding.
