The entire humanity is called to establishing the human civilization upon the united roots that brought us to be, as we all were created appointed as the president of the House of Wisdom . he Grand Librar. by the Abbasid ruler Al-MaAomun, setting an example of the intellectual diversity to achieve creativity and from one soul that is described in Quran Islamic civilization was built upon . Adam and Haww. A fundamental intellectual and scientific contributions, principle that a civilization is based upon is stemming from the core principle of accommodating the laws of cosmic diversity Aiseeking knowledge is an obligationAn,3 a and their purpose. For we have been created duty of each and every Muslim, regardless of as nations and tribes to know each other. The history of Islamic civilization witnessed numerous great scholars and intellectuals from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities who were all brought up under the oneness of Islam, like Ibn Hazm. Imam Abu Hanifa. Khawarizmi. Al-Bukhari. Al-Razi. Ibn Rush. Al-Tabari, countless more. The scholarship was never confined to Muslims alone, the Islamic civilization deployed all the knowledge and discoveries of all preceding nations such as the Romans. Greeks, and Persians, all of which were united to form an exemplary the hurdles and challenges. This principle and the elevated status given to knowledge has been the driving force for Muslims to excel in numerous fields of arts and This uniting driver ensured a just and fair system that promoted peace and human rights, preserving intellectual and environment and natural resources. As a result, nations would help each other in preserving their heritage, which in turn would promote peace, the central element in resolving conflicts, and combatting Violent extremism and terrorism. Very little research has been done to Translators were hired from various faiths look into the fundamentals and principles and ethnicities. A classic example for it was that Islamic civilization has been built on. Haneen Bin Ishaq, who was a Christian fact, many have misunderstood the Islamic Volume Vi. Nomor 1. Januari 2023.

Therefore, it so that the results do not become is very crucial to identify the reasons behind contradictory to the premises, and I also adopted the critical approach. Second: mechanisms that can be derived from Inferring the noble verses from the Quran analyzing the true religious teachings, which and the Sunnah of the Prophet peace be can be used to address this critical issue. upon him, and I went back to the books of addition to the roles of various institutions, interpretation and the sayings of the the family, educational, social, corporate, media, and government institutions, all of which need to work together and play their Result and Discussion part in combatting violent extremism and Foundation and principles of the terrorism and to promote peace and stability Islamic Civilization and its cultural among societies.

This heart, for I am his opponent on the day of gave the Islamic civilization an early chance Muslims to fulfill their duties and pass on knowledge and heritage to humanity. The Muslim civilization then elevated itself to hire statuses in various industries, agricultural, industrial, tourism, and medicine, and the Arabic language was enriched with scientific terms and philosophical expressions. universal teaching of Islam. This principle extends to cover not only humans but animals, plants, and the general ecosystem with all its components. Many hadiths come to support this universal mercy such as the Hadith of the Prophet -pbuh- (He who is Principle 2: Universality of Islam The Peace competent amongst you to benefit his universality of Islam. The message of the Islamic religion, its objectives and teachings are universal across time and nations. Despite being a boundless message yet no brother should do s. 9 This usefulness is by spreading goodness, preventing evil whether in religious or worldly matters, with the former being of a higher regards and one is compelled to follow it. for there is no Examples of having this mercy on compulsion in religion,6 because Islam is a animals and plants crystalizes in the Hadith religion that does not negate or invalidate of the Prophet Ae pbuh- (There is none others, but rater acknowledges the human amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or diversity and the right of choice.

From which we Principle 3: Humanity of Islam Humanity in Islam is not an envisioned ideal, but rather a divine legislation, and practical reality. From which the concept of unity materializes, and loving for others what one loves for themselves. For we all are all from one, and many texts come to commend and promote the links between humans beyond ethnicity, religion, or status. This does not contradict the priorities that must be considered, such that a person is not to obey their parents if they require them to disobey Allah. Hence all our relationships are governed by religious principles and moral values. Humans in totality, with all their differences, have been honored and elevated over other creatures, as Allah says in the Quran (We have honored the children of Adam and carried them on both land and We have provided them with good things and greatly preferred them above much of our creatio. 14 This honor is given by the Creator, and no one has the right to take it away from anyone. It is from this honor that humans have been given the shared right to benefit and utilize all earn the equal social, economic, intellectual, and political rights. It is also from the humanity of Islam that each human has a right to be treated with dignity and respect, and not to cause harm, be it physical or emotional, to anyone. This can be seen from the Quranic text that condemns us from causing harm to the disbelievers by cursing what they worship beside God, (And do not abuse those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest they might abuse Allah out of ignoranc. 15 According to the scholar of Quran Al-Qurtubi, the abuse mentioned in this verse extends beyond what they worship to include their places of worships, religious symbols, and religious practices, as abusing any of those equates to the abuse the verse mentions 16. This respect is the right of any human even after their death. the Prophet pbuh- ordered us to remember the deceased only with goodness17. Once a funeral passed by the Prophet Ae pbuh- and he stood, when he was told it was a funeral of a Jewish person he responded, (IsnAot it a soul?).

Islam mandates us to treat everyone kindly, including non-Muslims. Ignorance of The Facts of Islam, and Distortion of Its Image and treating them badly or badmouthing them is just as bad as badmouthing a Muslim. Islam also commands us to treat the neighbors with kindness, regardless of who they are. The Prophet -pbuh- said (Jibril kept on recommending that I treat neighbors well until I thought that he would order me to treat them as my heir. 35 In addition, he -pbuh- used to prioritize his Jewish neighbor in many of his dealings and There distortion of the image of Islam in the brains of our youth.

Such approaches donAot help in countering terrorism but lead to the emergence of a larger problem, which is Islamophobia.
