The theory of the Quran regarding international relations based on various
verses of the Quran relevant to some missions of the Prophet in conveying the
message of Allah as well as other verses relevant to no occasion has been dif
ferently perceived by both Muslims and non-Muslims. The majority of Muslim
jurists of early period up until the middle ages who mainly based their the
ories on war conditions interpreting those verses of the Quran enjoining war
maintained a theory favoring clash. As one may see in the latest discourses of
the present Pope, Benedictus the XVI., westerners have an image in general
that Islam has spread through sword. However, some earlier jurists as well as
some contemporary Muslim writers, who feel like the defeated subjects of a
land, put forward a passive peace strategy in the name of Islam.
Whereas the Quran, when it is read in its totality, maintains a balanced
peace strategy considering man, society, and the universe in terms of the
values of creation. The present paper deals with these various views regar
ding peace and it underlines the approach of the Quran.
