Abstract
SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: As Muslims, we find inner peace in the remembrance of our Creator ”Zikr”. People search for peace in many things; Some of them try to find calmness and serenity in reading books. Whether it’s non-fiction, fiction, or the many genres available, they seek peace in reading them. Perhaps it is a book on crime investigation, or mysterious and fantasy worlds. We must remind ourselves that reading the Quran and traditions and Bible proves for us that the key for the world peace and any external and real peace is the inner peace.
METHOD AND FINDING: Those who want to be peace makers and peace keepers should be able first to make peace within themselves and with themselves then they are able to be activists in the field of peace. Our religious leaders and saints were real peace makers and peace keepers because they had merely this capacity. When we read about life of our Prophet and the household we find that all of them were prominent peace makers.
CONCLUSION: Examples mentioned in this research are the glorious messenger of God Muhammad and Imam Ali and Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein and Imam Mahdi and Bible. Also some verses of Holy Quran and traditions are surveyed here and also some opinions of modern and contemporary Psychologists are cited for more certainty.
