امن کا اسلامی بیانیہ: تعارف و اہمیت

Abstract

Islam carries the message of peace and security in its own name. There are many instances in the Qur’ān and Sīrah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which emphasize the need to establish peace and harmony in society. In fact, one of the first steps that the Prophet (peace be upon him) took after establishing the first Islamic state of Madīnah was to make arrangements for internal peace and security through the Charter of Madīnah and peace agreements with the surrounding tribes. However, despite the above-stated facts, Islam is often associated with terrorism in modern times. It is need of the hour to present a coherent Islamic narrative of peace that could defy these misreprestantions of Islam. This article is an attempt to present such a narrative of peace drawing upon the primary sources of Islam.
