Islamic Perspective on Peace and Justice

By Mohammad Amin

Thai is why a Muslim is not considered to be a perfect believer unless he

loves others. And love is expressed through the greeting of peace (, saldm).

Hence peace exists when there is compassion in people's hearts for each

other. This, in turn, will end every kind of injustice and will play vital role in

establishing a just social order. That implies peace without justice has no

meaning as the former is not merely absence of violence and existence of

calmness. In the same manner justice cannot be established until the

atmosphere is calm and serene. Hence, the administration of justice has

always been a religious duty in Islam which consists of the application of the

principles of shari'ah in the name of Allah.

Unfortunately enough, the non-Muslim mind, especially that of the

Orientalists, is ignorant, nay, but chooses to be ignorant about the universal

fact that Islam succeeded in materializing in history its principles while the

world witnessed the greatest ever commonwealth of which peace and justice

were the most brilliant hallmarks.
