Abstract: This comprehensive review examines the role of Islamic ethics and values in fostering a culture of peace in contemporary Muslim society, addressing a critical gap in understanding religion’s potential contribution to global peace-building efforts. Drawing from primary Islamic sources, historical practices, and contemporary scholars, the study explores how Islamic ethical principles can inform and enhance approaches to conflict resolution, social harmony, and international cooperation. The review analyzes foundational Islamic concepts of peace, including ‘Salam’ (peace), ‘Adl’ (justice), ‘Rahmah’ (compassion), and ‘Fiqh’ (Islamic jurisprudence). It examines core ethical principles that promote peace, such as forgiveness, patience, and moderation, demonstrating their relevance to contemporary peace-building challenges. The Prophet Muhammad’s model of peace-building is scrutinized as a practical framework for non-violent conflict resolution and inclusive community-building. The review also addresses the challenges in applying Islamic ethics to modern peace-building efforts and the potential of Islamic ethics in peace education. This review concludes that Islamic ethics offer a comprehensive, values-based approach to fostering peace that complements and enhances other frameworks. It highlights the need for continued research, interfaith dialogue, and practical application of these principles to fully realize the potential of Islamic ethics in contributing to global peace efforts.
