The world is in turmoil; mass killing, genocide, ethnic
cleansing, occupation of Muslim lands for natural resources, oppression,
expulsions, deprivation and exploitation of innocent, Muslims by power hungry
corrupt despotic rulers, greedy powerful countrymen, extremist religious groups
and Neo-colonial powers has reached unprecedented level. People are perplexed,
they want to get out of this quagmire but there is no way out in sight.
The quest for "Peace and Justice" is exploited by
foreign sponsored extremist in the name of religion to recruit Jihadists for
power, plunder and exploitation. It adds fuel to fire and provide lame excuse, justification
for more oppression and killing of Muslims by the enemies of humanity.
Most of Muslim rulers & leadership have been entangled to
tacitly serve agenda of hostile powers, just to protect their rule. The Muslim
countries which were relatively strong and wealthy have been systematically
dragged in to sectarian, ethnic & tribal civil war and breakup, thus adding
fuel to fire.
World peace is not achievable while 1.5 billion Muslims, rich
in culture, history and resources are kept in state of turmoil, none will be
secure and safe. Hence there is need for the intellectuals, thinkers and all those
feeling distressed, to come forward to work out short and long term "Methodology for sustainable Peace" to meet the challenges at present
and future. It shall help to make a safe and peaceful world for the humanity.
Thought can refer to the ideas or arrangements of ideas that result from thinking, the act of producing thoughts, or the process of producing thoughts. Although thought is a fundamental human activity familiar to everyone. Thoughts are the result or product of spontaneous acts of thinking.
Because thought underlies many human actions and interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical origins, processes, and effects has been a longstanding goal of many academic disciplines including philosophy and sociology.
Thinking allows humans to make sense of, interpret, represent or model the world they experience, and to make predictions about that world. It is therefore helpful to an organism with needs, objectives, and desires as it makes plans or otherwise attempts to accomplish those goals. Thoughts are the keys which determine one's goal.

Peace-Forum - Introduction just in 43 Seconds by Peace-Forum
Peace is a state of harmony characterized by the lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence. Commonly understood as the absence of hostility, peace also suggests the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.
The world is now a global village, God has created human with divergent views, while peacefully urging others to good and refraining form evil, people of different cultures and beliefs can try to live like good neighbours:
- “..be good to your parents, kinfolks, orphans, the helpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you..” [Qur’an;4:36].
- “You like for the people what you like for yourself, and you dislike for them what you dislike for yourself.”[Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)Al-Tirmidhi Hadith,11, 1334]
- “.. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyselfs..”(Matthew 22:39-40, similarly Leviticus 19:18)
- "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. for this is the law and the prophets.[Matthew 7:12 similarly see Luke 6:31]
- "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellowmen. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary": Talmud, Shabbat 31:a
