Islam and peace are coupled, for Islam is the religion of peace that all people aspire to;

Because it is the religion of God Almighty, which He accepted for His servants, and made it a law that they deal with and worship Him by. For humanity to live in peace and harmony, justice prevail and virtue spread among the servants, he came to bring people out of the oppression of religions and the darkness of humankind to the worship of the One, the Creator, the Most High, and the protection of man.

“Do not be envious, do not quarrel, do not hate each other, do not manage, and do not sell one another over the other, and be God’s servants as brothers;

The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, he does not oppress him or let him down, and piety does not despise him here (and points to his chest three times) according to a person, it is evil to despise his Muslim brother, every Muslim is forbidden to a Muslim, his blood, his money and his honor.” Therefore, whoever submits his face to God Almighty, knows nothing but peace and tranquility, lives it in himself, in his community and in his environment, so he lives a good life, and he is a caller to Islam by his behavior before his words, and that is what makes Islam endearing to people, so they enter it with desire, not fear, and love, not hatred. Outwardly and inwardly, not only apparent.

Islam celebrates peace at all times. Peace is the symbol of a Muslim with himself and with others. He throws it at everyone he meets, whether he knows him or not, and he throws it on himself and his community at his entrance and exit, even when he is conversing with his Lord in his prayers, for he makes peace the end of his conversations. Peace is a motto. All the prophets, for when God Almighty created the father of mankind Adam, peace be upon him, his Lord said to him: “Go and greet these group of angels, and listen to what they greet you, for it is your greeting and the greeting of your offspring. God.” However, the followers of the prophets turned away from that and replaced it with phrases that do not benefit from its meaning, nor are they from its building, so peace was desired for them, not reality in them. Their prophets did not do it, and this is the case for someone who turns away from the remembrance of God and follows his whims.

Peace is one of the most beautiful names of God, so whoever is adorned with it has been adorned with one of the attributes of divine beauty, and whoever adopts it as his emblem in this world is about to be one of the people of the House of Peace, living in peace, that house in which there is no idle talk and no sin except for a few words of peace. It is Paradise whose people are greeted with peace, because they are safe in this world from sins and misdeeds, so they are safe in the Hereafter from humiliating torment.

Peace is the emblem of the believer and his cover, and the motto of peoples who love a decent life.

May God make us among the people of peace in this world and the hereafter.

Islam celebrates peace at all times. Peace is the motto of a Muslim with himself and with others.
