This paper discusses Islamic traditions of peace and conflict resolution, and argues that nonviolent and the peaceful resolution of conflicts has been an integral aspect of Islamic tradition since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
This paper also discusses various community conflict resolution mechanisms that have been developed and effectively applied to resolve conflicts in the Muslim world such as wasata (mediation), sulha (reconciliation) and hewar (dialogue). With this focus the paper seeks to identify the principles which can be used to justify Islamic teachings against violence and a process of resolving conflict.
This publication includes discussion of:
• Broad ethics and teachings from an Islamic perspective on avoiding violent conflict.
• How the peaceful resolution of conflicts has been an integral aspect of Islamic tradition since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
• How Peacebuilding and conflict resolution mechanisms in the Muslim contexts are informed by assumptions common across religio-cultural traditions
• Examples of community conflict resolution mechanisms that have been developed and effectively applied to resolve conflicts in the Muslim world

In this edition we have continued our investigation of the authenticity of religious, political and social sets of ideas, as well as traits which have been cast in stone and idealised. Lacking the ability or the will to distinguish between the sacred and the profane, the permissible and the absolute, inhibits the natural ability and will to investigate, reform and remedy.
