MUSLIM PEACE FELLOWSHIP
ANSAR AS-SALAM
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.
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.
