THE QURANIC METHODOLOGY AND ITS MEANS IN ESTABLISHING THE FOUNDATIONS OF GLOBAL PEACE: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

القرآن الكريم ومنهجه في إرساء دعائم السلام الدولي: دراسة تحليلية

Abstract

The Holy Quran highlights the concept of "khilafah" human succession on earth as a responsibility based on establishing peace and security, distinguishing humankind from previous creatures that spread corruption and shed blood, as the angels questioned: "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood?" (al-Baqarah,30). The divine response affirmed Allah's wisdom in creating humankind according to a comprehensive methodology: "Indeed, I know that which you do not know" (al-Baqarah, 30). Consequently, fulfilling the role of human succession is intrinsically linked to fostering peace and security in all its dimensions. The Quran categorizes peace into multiple forms, including global peace, social peace, environmental peace, and inner peace. Beyond emphasizing the significance of peace, the Quran establishes a Shari'ah framework to safeguard and sustain it, ensuring that peace becomes both a doctrinal and legislative principle. Given the current global circumstances, marked by escalating conflicts and the deterioration of human peace structures, this research is of great significance as it examines the Qur’anic vision for achieving international peace and explores its methodology in addressing humanitarian crises. This study employs the descriptive-analytical method to examine Quranic texts related to peace, alongside the deductive method to derive the fundamental principles governing global peace according to the Quran. The research aims to: Analyse the concept of peace in the Qur’an and classify its types. Deduce the Quranic methodology for establishing international peace. Identify the mechanisms proposed by the Quran to enhance global security and stability. Finally, the researchers will present its findings, followed by the recommendations and suggestions that contribute to reinforcing global peace values from a Quranic perspective.
