Islam and World Peace is a thought-provoking collection of essays by the world-renowned peace scholar, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan (1925–2021), that clarifies one of the most misunderstood subjects in the modern world – Islam’s teachings on peace, jihad, and war. Written with profound clarity, this book dismantles misconceptions about violence and religion, presenting Islam as what it truly is – a faith of compassion, reconciliation, and peace.

About Islam and World Peace

This 200-page volume is derived from articles first published in Al-Risala, the famous Urdu journal, and later compiled into this comprehensive work. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan explains that peace is the foundation of Islam, while war is only an exception, permissible only in defensive situations. Topics include:

• The true concept of Jihad as a peaceful struggle and intellectual awakening
• The Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ model of peace, treaties, and reconciliation
• The Quranic perspective on peace, war, and human reform
• Condemnation of terrorism, extremism, hijacking, and hostage-taking
• Practical guidance on living peacefully in a pluralistic society

The author emphasizes that jihad means striving against one’s own self (nafs) and working for human welfare, not violence. As the Quran declares: “Strive against them with this (Quran), a great striving” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:52). Likewise, the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe.” (Sahih al-Bukhari).

Why Islam and World Peace Matters

In an age where terms like “Islamic terrorism” are widely misused, this book is a beacon of truth. It firmly establishes that Islam has no connection with terrorism.

• Students and researchers of Islamic studies
• Non-Muslims seeking to understand Islam’s message of peace
• Reverts and New Muslims looking for authentic guidance
• Anyone concerned about peace, coexistence, and interfaith dialogue
