TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

Arabia. Another great benefit was that this revolution that happened in Arabia by virtue of the Hudaibiyah policy, set off for the first time ever, a new process in human history. Passing through several stages, this process reached the present age. In this sense, the present age can be called the culmination of the ‘Hudaibiyah process’. What exactly was the ‘Wisdom of Hudaibiyah’? Briefly, it was, putting an end to military confrontation to establish a climate of peace, and then through peaceful efforts conveying the natural message of Islam to the people. Following the changes that have taken place in human relations, the same ‘Hudaibiyah Culture’ now prevails throughout the world with the unanimous consent of all nations. The present age can thus be called the Age of Hudaibiyah. In the past, ‘Hudaibiyah Culture’ was limited and localized, but now, the ‘Hudaibiyah Culture’ has been established at the global level, without having to make any sacrifices for it. Establishment of the United Nations The United Nations (UN) was set up in 1945. The main purpose of this organization was the establishment of world peace. All the countries of the world have become its members. The UN is headquartered in New York. With the unanimous consent of member-countries, an agreement was adopted, which is called the Charter of the United Nations. Under this Charter and with the agreement of all members, a resolution was passed, and included as Article 2, Clause 4 in the Charter, which says: All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations. This clause of the UN Charter is, in essence, the same as that agreed upon at the time of the Treaty of Hudaibiyah. In the seventh century CE, at the time of this treaty, the conditions of the opponents had to be unilaterally accepted by the Muslims, but in the 20th century, all the countries of the world on their own accord, have annulled these conditions. In accordance with the UN Charter and the changed global situation, believers can now enjoy global peace. Besides, today, the doors are open to every possible opportunity required for the global mission of calling people to God. For example, religious freedom, a climate of openness, global communications, international travel, advanced printing technology, the internet, etc.
