PEACEBUILDING- an Islamic Imperative

On the level of the soul, and to the family, community, nation, and planet, the Qur'an and prophetic teachings give Muslims enduring principles and firm imperatives for peacebuilding. Many devout and committed Muslims are struggling to reclaim these principles of faith from a minority who prefer corruption over uprightness and sectarianism over human bonds of trust and love. What are these core Islamic teachings for peacebuilding? How are contemporary Muslims drawing on the ancient wisdom of prophets and scholars to counteract the violence and moral failings within society? Where are the signs of hope? Join Muslim theologian and chaplain Celene Ibrahim for an exploration of peacebuilding from an Islamic perspective.
