Let us start our conversation with the fact that the word Islam is derived from

salaam, a word meaning peace. It also relates a person submitting himself to the will of
The Mightiest in order to seek eternal peace and tranquility. The crux of this observation
is that the very origins of Islam are inclined towards peace and harmony.
As mentioned earlier, the Quran -- the holy words of none other than Allah Almighty -can best bear the witness for Islams inclination towards peace, justice, and harmony
amongst human beings while negating and discouraging violence, terrorism, and
injustice.
This becomes very evident if one vows to read the Qur'an and apply it on personal basis.
Doing so in modern times is much more convenient as people can read the Qur'an online.
Listed below are a few verses that support the claim that Islam is a true religion of peace
and tranquility.

"O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as
against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or
poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye
swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is wellacquainted with all that ye do." (Surah 4, Verse 135).

"God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil,
vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed." (Surah 16,
Verse 90).

"And if ye do punish them, punish them no worse than they punished you: but if
ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are patient."
(Surah 16, Verse 126).

These are just a few references from the Holy Qur'an. You may find many more of them
that promote nothing else but peace and justice.
