TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

A Being of this kind—a grand regulator of human affairs—can only be God. The only factor, indeed, that can be effective in ensuring peace between human beings is the universal acknowledgement of the concept of a superior God—a God who is held to be great by all and to whom all surrender in equal measure. As the old adage has it. “Peace, thy name is God.” According to a Hadith: O God, You are Peace, peace comes from You, Blessed and most High are You, O Possessor of glory and honour. (Ibn Majah) The importance of God is as great for the individual as it is for society. No part of our individual or social life is complete without God. Undoubtedly the concept of God is as relevant today as it was in ancient time, for God is man’s greatest asset. o The only factor that can be effective in ensuring peace between human beings is the universal acknowledgement of the concept of a superior God—a God who is held to be great by all and to whom all surrender in equal measure.
