8.4. Practicing compassion and mercy
Conflict and violence often involve introducing the enemy through some form of dehumanization and dehumanizing the opponent. Dehumanization makes it possible for atrocities such as rape, murder, torture, and torture in conflicts because the “rivals” no longer see themselves as men or women. Conflict resolution students and practitioners agree that the transition from hostility to non-violent coexistence requires a new humanization of the “other”. The Quranic thoughts of Rahman (compassion) and Rahim (compassion) are important tools that can facilitate this process. After they said “Bism Allah al-Rahman al-Rahim” (“We start with the call of Allah the Mercy and Mercy”), all Muslims will invoke Rahman and Rahim before taking any action to remind them that they should Take action against God. Kind and compassionate. In the Qur’an, compassion and mercy are at the core, because almost all chapters begin with such readings, and Allah declares: “My mercy is for everyone” (Q7:156). In the famous Hadith Qudsi, God declared: “Indeed, my mercy precedes my anger”, which is one of the most important ideas in the concept of Islam. Mercy and compassion are also the main characteristics of the prophet. The Qur’an mentions the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) as the “grace of the sand” (Q21:107), so he as the messenger of Allah represents the usual mercy., Moses (peace and blessings be upon him) became a prophet after expressing sympathy for the exhausted sheep that fled to the wilderness.” He said pitifully, “Oh, villain, where did you go?” Who are you worried about? After lifting them and bringing them back to the flock, God said to the angel: “I saw how my servant treated this stupid sheep tenderly? Because he accepted this question and did not hurt the sheep, but forgave her, ( I declare) I am honored to be able to improve her and make her my interlocutor; I can give you a prophecy and send you an e-book. As long as the arena exists, your name can be pronounced” (Kadayifci Orellana 2011: 212-213). In addition, God is very forgiving, merciful, and merciful. , The Quran calls on Muslims to be compassionate and compassionate to all living things: animals, plants, and people (question 17:18) As the Hadith said, “God does not have mercy on those who are unkind to mankind”, especially those who seek God. Compassion must be compassionate. Therefore, a true Muslim must be compassionate and compassionate to all people, regardless of race, religion, or gender background. The sanctity of life re-humanizes the alternative and reminds Muslims that all people are holy and should be covered. Therefore, Muslims should not be indifferent to the suffering of other sentient beings (physical, economic, religious, or emotional), nor should they be cruel, tortured, cause trouble, or intentionally hurt others or others. According to the Islamic lifestyle, the creature is unacceptable.
8..5. Promoting forgiveness
The peacebuilding process requires reconciliation and recovery from the traumatic and painful memories of wars and battles. Rehabilitation helps deal with grief and rethink the trauma of war and change the relationship between ex-combatants. Consider treating differently. Reconciliation and reconstruction are key elements of the world’s Islamic tradition. In this technique, the Quranic commandment afu or forgiveness (this period not only means forgiveness but also has a broader meaning) plays an important role. The most important commandment in Islam is peace. Islam emphasizes peace when dealing with all Muslims and non-Muslims in society, and encourages its followers to stay away from conflict and violence. The Qur’an recognizes the right to revenge, but says that “forgiving those who hurt and reconciles can be rewarded by Allah.” (Quran 42:40). There are many standards of peace in Islam that can be regarded as the development of peace traditions, some of which I want to emphasize here: The first and basic commandment of the peace tradition is that calling for religious religions is an optional subject. According to Islamic teachings, People cannot simply accept religious ideals. The Quran says: “May religion not be compelled: this fact stands out from the delusion: anyone who rejects evil and believes in Allah has the most reliable support than in any case. God hears and knows everything is important.” 2:256)
لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِهينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَ ه ي فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِا ه للِّ فَقَدِ اسْ تَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىَ لاَ انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَ ه الل سَمِيعٌ عَلِيم.ٌ
in this point, the Qur’an is unequivocal: “The fact is from your Lord, so whoever wills- permit him to consider, and whoever wills - allow him to disbelieve” (18:29).
قُل الحقُ مِن ربِکم فمَن شاء فليُومِن و مَن شاء فَليَکفُر.
The message to non-Muslims is: “Because you are your faith, to me this is my faith.” (109: 6) These passages imply tolerance and resistance to different religions. Therefore, religious belief is a voluntary behavior that people can freely and consciously choose, rather than compulsory. The meaning of these verses in the Qur’an is the freedom to appreciate different opinions and understand others. In many cases, this principle can prevent cultural violence and promote peaceful life. The second principle for the development of a peaceful and non-violent social lifestyle is that Islam has adopted the first law and non-violence to emphasize peace. Allah invites people into this world: “Allah invites people into the house of peace and guides all his wishes on the direct path” (10:25).
وَ ه اللُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ وَ يَهْدِی مَن يَشَاء إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
The Qur’an invitations human beings to peace and life and regards battle and violence because of the evil way. (2: 208)
يا ايها الذين آمنوا ادخلوا فی ال ه سلم کافهَ و لاتتبعوا خطوات الشيطان انهه لکم عد ه و مبين
The Qur’an instructs that if your enemies desire peace, welcome it.
و اِن جنحوا لل ه سلم فاجنح لها و توکل علی الله انه هوالسميع العليم
This means: But if you are more inclined to this world, then lean towards it and place it in a way consistent with Allah. He is the listener, the knower. (8:61). In addition, under limited circumstances, it is no longer allowed to be used. Although the Qur’an recognizes that its followers have the right to retaliate, it is also a compliment to forgiveness. So in Ashur, it said: Revenge for a bad act is synonymous with it. However, the forgiving and reconciling person praises Allah, and he hates the unrighteous (42:40)
.وجزاءُ سيهئهِ سيهئه مِثلُها فمَن عَفا و اَصلح فاجَرُهُ علی الله
Islam lets in protecting jihad in several situations:
1.- The incidence of aggression. ‘And fight within the purpose of Allah people who combat you, but do no longer commit aggression; Allah does now not love the aggressors’ (2: 190).
.وَقَاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَِّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللََّ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ .
2.- The precept of percentage. ‘Whoever commits aggression against you, retaliate in opposition to him within the same measure as he has devoted against you. And be conscious of Allah, and recognize that Allah is with the righteous’ (2:194)
فَمَنِ اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللََّ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللََّ مَعَ المُتَّقینَ
three.- observe the necessity. ‘And fight them till there’s no oppression, and worship turns into committed to Allah by myself. however, if they cease, then let there be no hostility besides in opposition to the oppressors’ (2:193).
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِهينُ لِلَِّّ فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَلَا عُدْوَانَ إِلَّا عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ
four.- Adherence to human principies and valúes. This principle is so crucial in Islam that even though the enemy becomes cowardly, it does now not advocate the deviation from human values. So after the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet of Islam stated instead of revenge and bloodshed nowadays is a day of mercy. therefore, the distinction between aggression and protection has to be prominent; aggression is illegal but protection is permissible underneath sure situations. The Qur’an has even forbidden Muslims from re- preaching. ‘Do now not insult the ones they name upon besides Allah, lest they insult Allah out of hostility and ignorance. We made attractive to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and he’ll inform them of what they used to do’ (6:108).
وَلَا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَِّ فَيَسُبُّوا اللََّ عَدْوًا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ كَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَّا لِكُ ه لِ أُمَّةٍ . عَمَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبهِهِمْ مَرْجِ عُهُمْ فَيُنَبهِئُهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُون.
In his shielding battles, the Prophet of Islam excellent practiced human and ethical ideals, even treating his maximum vicious enemies with humane behavior. all through the Hunayn war, he granted the bulk of captives mercy and lower back their property to them. in the conquest of Mecca that some Muslims used to chant that these days is the day of vengeance, however, the Prophet stated to them these days is an afternoon of mercy, then told the people of Mecca and the leaders in their war, you are all free and there can be no worry for you. The Prophet of Islam all through the wars in no manner disadvantaged the enemy of ingesting water.
Inside the Khaybar warfare, he will become strongly unfavorable even as he will become supplied the possibility to close the waterway or poison the consuming water inside the fortress and forbade the spread of poison in the city of enemies and in favored anywhere. all through the conflict, the Prophet stated: Do now no longer kill girls, youngsters, and the elders and do no longer burn palm timber and plants. Imam Ali (PBUH) moreover commands his soldiers: by no means start a war with the enemy besides they start, do now no longer kill the fugitives, do now no longer attack the wounded, do not go into their homes, do now no longer assault girls, and do now no longer scold every person. (Ibn al-Jouzi, 1997: 91) the lessons of Islam invite human beings to live a non-violent lifestyle primarily based totally on theism, justice, and purity. therefore, peace in Islam is an everlasting charter. Even the character of conflict in Islam is a defensive one, now no longer an offensive one because of the truth the principle of Islam is peace and coexistence, now no longer war, violence, and war. in masses of verses of the Qur’an, God has allowed Muslims to combat most effective for defense. therefore, warfare in Islam is a secondary precept, no longer a number one.
The precept in growing a way of life of peace and a non-violent society is to pay attention to the religious self-focus inherent in our human nature that could float human beings far from violence. Human nature tends to peace and friendship. taking component in compassion, and love for others is part of our human nature. Violence is not our nature. Non-violent relationships can carry us in the direction of our nature and assist us to be a part of and move lower back to what is truly a pleasing way of lifestyles, one that contributes to at least one another’s well-being and comfort. Human nature tends to peace, and no longer violence; violence comes from how we analyze, now no longer from our human nature.
Islam seeks to invite people into a peaceful and peaceful life in the world based solely on theism, justice, and piety. Therefore, Islamic peace is the immortal and most important rule. Here! Allah does not like invaders” (2:190). This peaceful interpretation based on the teachings of the Quran can spread lasting peace throughout the region and end conflicts in many places. “Everyone) uses knowledge and superb preaching follows the path of their Lord and discusses with them the methods of high quality and great grace: Lord, you know very well who has gone astray and who is receiving guidance. “(16: 125) The religious tradition of dealing with tolerance and establishing peace has an urgent need to provide sufficient philosophical arguments for religious tolerance in the context of religious hierarchy in our time. They can reinforce established behaviors of tolerance and justify teaching people to be tolerant in society. Kant’s answer to the religious hierarchy is that every mental statement is the same as the fact because they all teach the same factors or force like-minded people to assert. Kant distinguished “pure religious belief”. This is an undeniable rational religion that can be conveyed to anyone convincingly. It is an “ancient religion” closely related to certain historical documents. , It is an understanding of all the moral obligations given by God. Kant believes that the material content of the declaration that all moral obligations are imposed with the help of God exists in all specific religions. “Purely rational religion” is the same everywhere. This kind of basic religious statement can only be discovered and established through reason, without the aid of revelation, scripture, etc. Kant’s strategy consists of important parts: first, belittle all religious claims on the basic claim, and secondly believe that the claims of all true religious groups have roughly the same relationship with this basic claim: “everything” involves salvation/liberation/enlightenment/implementation ...” (Sick, 1994: 8687). Kant’s function is to connect the ruling religions in the world with the ultimate facts in a unique way. There may not be any public evidence that each belief is correct or contrary to other beliefs, so it is closer to the ultimate truth. Christianity is true, “a paradigm of courtship between gods and men”, so “when they are no longer impossible, it becomes difficult to demonstrate the absolute, superior, or unique characteristics of Christianity” (McFague, 1985: 381). John Hick is a proponent of the modern Kantian approach to religious diversity. He believes that there are real differences and (at least obvious) inconsistencies in most claims made by various religious communities. Capacitive. There are three types of changes: inconsistencies related to ancient themes, quasi-historical or trans-historical issues, and ways of understanding and experiencing religious beliefs. Sigg believes that these incompatibilities claimed by various religions are not religiously important. fact. “(Hick 1994: 95). Hick believes that the differences in manifestation between traditions are usually regarded as “special methods to understand and experience an ultimate sacred truth. “(Hick, 1984: 229). Hick describes the function of truth in the sentence as follows: So the truth is not smart, because it has many miles, but it should (a) satisfy the basic beliefs of religious human enjoyment (b ) Observing that Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and many other people who can collectively respond to these different absolute gods, the more or less equally strong background seems to be to make a person transform from egocentricity, all Both vices and misfortunes slide from it to transcendent rewards, as the tradition itself has experienced (Hick 2010: 2845).
Muhammad Legenhausen believes that we have a pluralistic position in the Qur’an. It tries to explain a contradiction higher than that of Sigg: one of the main problems faced by any form of pluralism, including the common forms of pluralism in the Quran. With the speed that Allah sends various religions to his messengers in special situations and places, here is how to deal with obvious contradictions, some extraordinary religious creeds... This guide suggests many ways to solve problems. The question of the Qur’an is contradictory (see: (2:75), (3:78), (5:41)), and some people think that the content revealed to the only known prophet is the same, so the contradiction between the creeds The material content that must be different from the discovery (see: (2:136), (3:84), (4:150), (42:1314)) becomes the religious difference in the Quran and is usually defined as beyond sin: Pride, in part, every different group has some form of jealousy ((3:18), (23:53), (30:32), (42:14)) (Legenhausen, 1999: 140). According to the Qur’an, before his last revelation, God and his prophets established other religions. But the teachings of Judaism and Christianity are not wrong now. In one of the happiest situations, these are special paths to God. It is for this reason that all sacred religions are called Islam because they all have a common experience of fully observing the commandments. Allah. And Muslim Islam is used for the latest revelation, the sentiment of Islam’s choice. There is a verse in the Qur’an: “The religion before Allah was Islam (subject to his will)” (3:19). This seems to illustrate a unique role, but some theologians interpret this verse as a form of Islamic pluralism and point out that Islam here refers to the general meaning of full obedience to Allah’s commands; therefore, all sacred Religion is called Islam. “They regard the differences in the rituals and worship methods of different religions as artificial differences. As one of them said, “The lamp is unusual, but the light is the same” (Ponniah, 1984: 81). Now let us show this. How a spirit of regular solidarity exists in a specific religious subculture. Because the way of life we are most familiar with is Islam, we will draw our arguments from this way of life when we should. Emphasize the majority of alternatives Religion has an equally strong commitment to teamwork that transcends classes, networks, and beliefs. The Quran clarifies the truth that the main goal of Islam is to achieve human unity. For example, the Quran says: “Humanity has become a network” and “Look! This is your religion-faith, I am your Lord, so keep your obligations to me” (23:52 in Pickthall, 1994). The reference to “faith” refers to the known sacred truths revealed to mankind from the beginning. The Qur’an says that what was revealed to Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus became reality (42:13). Obviously, according to the Quran, all communities on earth have accepted this well-known truth. There is no kingdom, but the warning has been exceeded among them (35:24). the truth? This is a distant concept of God, get it right. This is clearly explained in a verse in the Qur’an. They say that unless they are Jews or Christians, no one will go to heaven. This is their futile wish. You are honest; yes, anyone who obeys Allah and does good will be rewarded before his Lord, without fear or worry. The Jews said, “Christians (the real) have nothing to rely on.” The Christians said, “The Jews have nothing to do,” even if they [both] recite the Bible. Therefore, people who do not recognize [I, polytheism] speak similar to his words, but Allah will make a decision between them on the Resurrection Day because they were different before (2:111-113).
وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَن كَانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصَارَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ) 111( بَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ هِ للِّ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبهِهِ وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ) 112( وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَىَ شَيْءٍ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ فَا ه للُّ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُ مْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُون) 113
“However, as the Quran regretfully points out, mankind has destroyed this common fact and split into sects.” (6:160). Although the Qur’an rejects sectarianism, it admits that there is a strange way to achieve typical reality. He said: “We have established sacred rules and marked paths for everyone. He wants to build a network with you. However, he can also guide you through what he gives you. Therefore, they compete with each other on exact behavior. “(5:48). According to the Qur’an, revelation occurs frequently, so Allah issues revelation to all people, and the main message of all revelation becomes a component and becomes a monotheistic religion.
لکل جعلنا منکم شرعة و منهاجا و لو شاء الله لجعلهم امة واحدة ...
In this way, “We have made Islamic law for each tribe. God wants, and he must make them the same person.” Tabatabai said that the Quran says: If God wants, he can create people and skills in a unified way, so They are the most practical feasibility of Islamic law from beginning to end, but God does not provide a platform for human development and development. It is impossible to boast in terms of geography, language or race, or overtime. And the ability to increase and simply accept the rules that suit you can see the completely sacred world (Tabatabey, 1995: 252). Therefore, pluralism and diversity are explained by the necessity of God. For this reason, the Quran has never criticized prophetic messages. Instead, he criticized the misunderstandings of some supporters. There is no verse in the Qur’an that can replace earlier religions. According to the Quran, those who believe in Allah believe that in the afterlife, correct behavior can be preserved. The Quran also confirms that Jews, Christians, and saints can be rewarded.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَ الَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ الصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَِّّ وَ الْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُ مْ عِندَ رَبهِهِمْ وَ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ .
In conclusion, we want an extra non-violent international, in which non-violent verbal exchange will be assured. This paper indicates first, to train peace discourse in society for the conclusion of a society unfastened from violence and the life-style of peace. 2d, to avoid conflicts and violence in societies, cultural and religious pluralism have to be generic, interactions and friendships among humans with exceptional religions want to be pursued, at the best hand, and to reject exclusivism and conflicts on the opposite hand. thinking about that faith is an essential element to cushty a non-violent global, as nearly every warfare some of the countries have worried wrong religious training, we strongly want to have a real interpretation of religious teachings. One of the essential motives for misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Islamic teachings is Fundamentalism and the avoidance of rationality. Education in any society will play a vital role withinside the cultivation of knowledgeable human beings and the improvement of tradition. Because of the fact, the human difficulty is the maximum critical withinside the improvement, increase, and improvement of society.
It is argued that there are numerous requirements in Islamic teachings that offer a basis for the lifestyle of peace. First, the popularity of religious faith is optionally available. the second one is Islam’s emphasis on peace and non-violence due to the primary law. The third precept is to take note of the religious self-consciousness inherent in our human nature that might skip human beings a long way from violence. notwithstanding those principles of peace in Islamic cultural heritage, but, Islamic teachings are misunderstood and misinterpreted in some societies. The responsibility is at the intellectuals and the media to enlighten humans to have a higher understanding of their faith in social aspects.
