Pojam mira u osnovnim izvorima islama (Kur’anu i sunnetu)
The Concept of Peace in the Primary Sources of Islam (Qur’an and Sunnah)

Summary/Abstract: Very often, we use the concept of peace and its various derivatives, most often in the form of an ideal to which we aspire. In a broader political context, we understand this concept in terms of absence of conflict, violence and war between nations and states; in a social context, in terms of the stability of relations among different social classes, or in a psychological context, in terms of striving for inner harmony and contentment. Peace is always desirable and is often associated with religion, which is either given credit to its establishment or blamed for its absence. This paper attempts to analyse the role and responsibility of Islam in the peace-building process. It analyzes whether the absence of peace is the result of the proper use or abuse of religion, who is responsible for possible abuses, and how religion could help in case of disturbance of the peace. In search of answers, the paper also offers a review of the notion of peace in the fundamental sources of Islam.
