- In the Koran, peace is something only granted to Muslims, believers in
Islam and only insofar as they are obedient Muslims, carrying out the
commands of Allah. For example: “Allah was well pleased with the
believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He
knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on
them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory; And much booty
[slaves and loot] that they will capture” (Koran 48:18-48:19). See also
“And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between
them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that
which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it
return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably” (Koran 49:9).
