Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa Thursday said that peace takes a prominent place in Islam, but it cannot be attained through theories and dialogue, but through behavior that helps bring it about, including by doing good for humanity.
Al-Issa made this statement in a speech he delivered at the World Peace Conference held by the leading Egyptian Muslim institution Al-Azhar in Cairo, which brought together around 300 Muslim and Christian clerics, scholars and political figures from around the world.
“Peace takes a prominent place in Islam, but cannot be achieved through theories and sporadic dialogue. It must have a tangible impact, preceded by honest and effective work. This could be achieved only through the love of goodness for humanity, and transcend all selfishness,” Al-Issa said.
He also stressed that there is no peace in the presence of double standards or if power is dominated by the logic of materialism alone.
If justice failed to prevail, there can be no peace, he said, adding that there is no peace but through tolerance and harmony, through renouncing hate, expressing love and showing selflessness.
