* All humans were created by Allah therefore everyone should be treated with respect so the world is harmonious. Allah dislikes anything that interrupts peace therefore Muslims are taught to be peacemakers and build a better society. Many Muslims are inspired by the teachings of peace to work for a better world.
Firstly, Islam is a religion of peace in the fullest sense of humor and the word. The Quran calls its way. ”The ways of peace” [Quran: 5:16] It describes pacification as the best policy [Quran: 4:128], and states that God abhors any disturbance of peace [Quran: 2:205].
The history of peacemaking in the Catholic tradition reflects the religious meanings of peace, tied to positive virtues, such as love, and to the personal and social works of justice. The Greek word for peace is eirene; Roman pax, and in the Hebrew Bible, shalom.
The Catholic vision of peace consists of (1) human rights, (2) development, (3) solidarity, and (4) world order, but until recently has placed less emphasis on conflict resolution and transformation. Vatican pronouncements have given more attention in recent years to non-violence and downplayed just-war analysis.
It is true that sometimes deeply held beliefs can lead to clashes, and there have been many wars that were caused by disputes over religion and beliefs. However, for many people religion can be a power for peace. A message of peace and love towards others is at the heart of all of the major world religions.
Muslims and Buddhists today are however, part of a religious community that is connected with each other and living a harmonious life, especially in the context of the region.
Buddhists do not believe in any kind of deity or god, although there are supernatural figures who can help or hinder people on the path towards enlightenment. Born on the Nepali side of the present day Nepal-India border, Siddhartha Gautama was a prince around the fifth century B.C.E.
Buddhism is a religion that is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. The main principles of this belief system are karma, rebirth, and impermanence. Buddhists believe that life is full of suffering, but that suffering can be overcome by attaining enlightenment.
Christianity developed out of Second Temple Judaism in the 1st century CE. It is founded on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and those who follow it are called Christians. Islam developed in the 7th century CE.
