The Train of Peace

Nabil Shawish

The word (Peace) and its derivatives appear in the Book of Allah Almighty in forty-four verses. Five of these are Medinan, while the rest are Meccan. In contrast, the word (War) is mentioned in only six verses, all of which are Medinan. 
Here lies a beautiful observation that merits attention: the Holy Quran primarily calls for, encourages, and promotes peace, while rejecting war, conflict, and division.
