"Say We believe in God and what is revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and I`saac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what was entrusted to Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to Him we have surrendered."
(Quran 3: 84)
When the disrupters of peace (the mischief makers) attain power, the first
victim is truth and justice. If these mischief makers then start talking of
establishing peace,
know that lasting peace can not exist until truth and justice are allowed to
prevail. If Truth and Justice is not allowed to prevail, know that these
disrupters are the real enemies of men and so of God.
That is why, the Qurán calls believers to uphold Truth and Justice even if it
be against oneself, and that is how God's summon to the abode of peace in this
world and in the hereafter.
Upholding Truth
People of the Book! Why do you confound Truth with falsehood,
and why do you conceal the Truth knowingly? (The Qurán 3:71)
Upholding Justice
"O you, who believe, stand firmly for justice, against yourself or
your parents or your near relations - whether he be rich or poor - Allah
has better right over them both." (Holy Qurán 4:35)
Against Arrogance & Aggression
Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. He likes not
the aggressors. And do not do mischief on the earth, after it has been set
in order, And Invoke Him with fear and hope; Surely, Allah's mercy is
(ever) near unto the good-doers. (The Qurán 7:55)
Summon to Peace
"And Allah summons to the abode of peace, and leads whom He wills to the
straight path" (The Qurán 10:25)
