Bismillah Rahman Rahim, Assalamu alaykum,
Below is the Prophet Muhammed (saws) statements regarding the Islamic Principle of Peace. Enjoy :-) Sallams, Mohamed Hadith, or the Sayings of Muhammed (peace and blessings upon him) The messenger of God said to me (Anas), 'Son, if you are able, keep your heart from morning till night and from night till morning free from malice towards anyone.' The best of God's servants are those who, when seen, remind one of God; and the worst of God's servants are those who carry tales about to do mischief and separate friends, and seek for the defects of the good. It is unworthy of a believer to injure people's reputations; and it is unworthy to curse any one; and it is unworthy to abuse any one; and it is unworthy of a believer to talk arrogantly. Assist your brother Muslim, whether he be an oppressor or an oppressed. 'But how shall we do it when he is an oppressor?' Muhammad said, 'Assisting an oppressor is by forbidding and withholding him from oppression. God is gentle and loves gentleness. Faith is a restraint against all violence, let no believer commit violence What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injured. The best of people is one from whom good accrues to humanity. Someone said to the Prophet, 'Pray to God against the idolators and curse them.' The Prophet replied, 'I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse. Anyone who kills a sparrow for nothing, it will cry aloud to God on the day of resurrection, saying, 'O My Lord! such and such a man killed me for nothing, he never killed me for any good.' We were on a journey with the Prophet when we saw a finch with two young ones. We took away the two young ones and the mother bird fluttered around. Then the Prophet came and said, 'Who has distressed her by taking away her young ones? Return her young ones to her.' The Prophet also saw the abode of ants which we had burnt, and said, 'Who has burnt this?' We said, 'We (have done this).' The Prophet said, 'It is not proper that any one should punish another by fire unless it be the Lord of fire.' Deal gently with the people, and be not harsh; cheer them and condemn them not. "The warrior is one who battles with his own ego (nafs) on the path of God." After a major battle, defending the small community of Islam against powerful enemies who sought to destroy it, the Prophet said: "We have returned from the lesser holy war (jihad) to the greater holy war." When asked what he meant by the greater war, the Prophet replied, "Struggle against the ego (nafs)." "God has mercy upon those who are merciful to others." "Would you have me tell you about actions that are better than fasting, prayer, and charity? Bring goodness and high principles between people." "The strongest among you is the one who controls his or her anger." "Oh God, bring peacefulness among us, bring unity into our hearts; guide us to equilibrium, take us from darkness to light." "Among the servants of Allah, those who are more useful to the people are also those more loved by the Divine." "Being an honorable Muslim means that people are safe from your actions and words." "Read the Koran if it keeps you from doing ill, and if you recite the Koran and are not prevented from wrongdoing, then you are not truthful in reading the Koran." Be kind to people whether they deserve your kindness or not. If your kindness reaches the deserving, good for you; if your kindness reaches the undeserving, take joy in your compassion."

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
