Abstract
The gist of the message of Islam is two things: (i) surrendering to the Divine Will which means giving due regard and reverence to the commandments of Allah i.e., acting upon them with utmost sincerity, and (ii) showing utmost compassion, love and affection towards Allah’s creation. These two aspects can be summed up into one — LOVE — of God, for He is our Creator and of the creation, for all things belong to the same God. Hence, a Muslim is not a true believer unless he loves rest of the creation. This love is expressed when a Muslim meets others and greets them with peace (salam), wishing good to them all. This explains that peace can prevail when people love each other. It. This paper is an attempt the meaning and importance of peace in the primary sources of Islam.
