The Muslim Peace Fellowship (Ansar
as-Salam) is a gathering of peace and justice-oriented Muslims of all
backgrounds who are dedicated to making the beauty of Islam evident in the
world.
We believe:
Personal example is the only convincing argument for the truth of any
religion. Since the particular business of Muslims is to emulate the model
of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was sent as
"a mercy to the worlds," our main concern must be to learn and
teach the integrity and kindness that were his chief characteristics. And
since the Creator of the Universe asks us, at the beginning of every act,
to call to mind His benevolence and compassion, we know that these
qualities must be the primary hallmark of any full realization of Islam.
We are consciously devoting ourselves to
work towards that realization.
Our objectives:
To work against injustice and for peace in ourselves, our families, our
communities, and our world.
To encourage a greater commitment to peace on behalf of all Muslims.
To explore and deepen our understanding of Islamic teachings about peace
and nonviolence.
To expose the falsehood of the popular stereotype that Islam is a religion
that teaches terrorism and violence.
To reach out to people of other religious traditions in an effort to
create mutual understanding, tolerance, and respect.
To work together with all people to keep open the Straight Path and to
bring about a more just and peaceful community and world.

Islam Denounces Terrorism

Union of Faiths
As people who believe in God and follow His
revelations, let us rally to a common formula - "faith". Let's
love God, Who is our Creator and Lord, and follow His commands. And let us
pray God to lead us to an even straighter path. When Muslims, Christians
and Jews rally to a common formula this way; when they understand that
they are friends not enemies, when they see that the real enemy is atheism
and paganism, then the world will become a very different place.
The fighting that has raged for ages,
enmities, fears - and terrorist attacks - will come to an end, and a new
civilization based on love, respect and peace will be established upon
this "common formula".

A community of people from many faiths and traditions, called together by
TIKKUN magazine and its vision of healing and transforming our world. We
include in this call both the outer transformation needed to achieve
social justice, ecological sanity, and world peace, and the inner healing
needed to foster loving relationships, a generous attitude toward the
world and toward others unimpeded by the distortions of our egos, a habit
of generosity and trust, and the ability to respond to the grandeur of
creation with awe, wonder and radical amazement. We are guided in our work
by our belief in the principle of solidarity.
