PEACE AND SECURITY

established social peace by refraining from using holy words, while we today create unrest in society by misusing them. He averted bloodshed by refraining from using holy words, yet we continue to engage in endless cycles of violence in the name of holy words. Notably, the Prophet refrained from resorting to violence even after gaining power, while we continue to fight against the people of the world without any authority. Islam teaches us that peace is a transformative force that can turn ordinary stones into gold. This is the key to unlocking every opportunity, leading us to the path of progress and prosperity. As God said in the Quran, “Truly, We have granted you a clear victory.” (48: 1) These words remind us that sacrifice in the pursuit of peace is the key to a great victory. It is the key that unlocks doors to opportunity and brings us to the destination of success and fulfillment. The Prophet’s strategy and insight reveal that creating an atmosphere of peace presents opportunities for expressing love of God and the truth of the Messenger’s prophethood. Adopting the Prophet’s teachings and cultivating a spirit of sacrifice for social peace are essential. This profound connection between peace, security, faith, and Islam emphasizes the urgency of establishing peace in our society. It is not merely a matter of worldly affairs but also a prerequisite for fulfilling our religious duties. Abraham’s prayer and the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings and practical examples underscore the inherent essence of peace within the religion of Islam. We should pray for peace for our nation and the entire world and take practical steps to achieve it, even if it means sacrificing our personal interests. 
