Peacemaking

Peace, in our tradition, is not a mood but a practice — studied, prayed, and carried into the world.

Peace, in our tradition, is not a mood but a practice. The Qur’an does not merely praise the peaceable; it commands the work of peace — the mending of quarrels, the protection of the vulnerable, the answering of evil with what is better. The Fellowship exists to take that command seriously, and to help others take it seriously too.

The believers are but brothers and sisters, so make peace between your brothers and sisters, and be mindful of God, that you may receive mercy.

Qur’an 49:10 · Al-Ḥujurāt

Study

Peacemaking begins in understanding. We document the scriptural case for nonviolence in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and we publish essays and primers that recover a tradition of active nonviolence too often obscured — within the community and outside it.

Prayer

Peacemaking is sustained in supplication. Our growing collection of prayers for peace — drawn from the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the devotional tradition — holds the world’s wounds before God, with patience (ṣabr) and mercy (raḥma) as its grammar.

Practice

Peacemaking is proven in the world. We gather the case studies of Muslim peacebuilders across eight world regions — evidence that Islamic nonviolence is neither a modern invention nor a foreign import — and we bear public witness through our statements in moments of crisis and conscience.

If you wish to study with us, pray with us, or build with us, write to us. There is a place for you in this fellowship.
