THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. YawmulAhad. 8th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Monday, 23rd October, 2023). *_ISLAMIC SOLUTION TO RESOLVING CONFLICTS CONTINUES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Islamic scholars had developed a number of legal structures and institutions, using a variety of techniques to resolve conflicts amicably, and achieve peace based on their Knowledge of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Among these are the following:
1. Appointment of a Justice of Peace (Qadi as Sulh) to oversee the processes of mediation, arbitration, and reconciliation to achieve settlement and peace.
2. Parties in conflict have the option of resolving their dispute through a Wasta or third-party mediator who would ensure that all parties were satisfied with the outcome.
3. Other practices could use tahkeem, or using intermediaries to represent the parties. These intermediaries should be able to represent the parties' position as clearly as possible to negotiate on their behalf, and guarantee that the parties receive a fair settlement.
A settlement could include a. Financial compensation, b. Service to the family, c. Service to the community, and d. Specific gestures of sympathy, or public demonstration of reconciliation.
These procedures and relevant structures need be revived and further developed utilizing all possible modern techniques. There are a number of organizations currently involved in conflict resolution. Others provide training for solving interpersonal problems and helping resolve issues within a family.
In order to resolve wider conflicts, it is essential that the peace-building efforts of civil-society organizations that already exist within the your community and in Muslim countries are adequately supported. This should go along with addressing the economic -political stagnation, and powerlessness of Muslim societies . As well as remedying the historical memories of violence and conflict from the times of Crusades and colonialism, past and present.
It is worth mentioning that within Islamic societies there exists a great diversity of traditions, cultures, and opinions that could be used to enrich the possibilities for pursuing peace-building efforts and resolving all existing conflicts. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
