International Peace Day

14 Izzat 163 B.E. – September 21, 2006

For generations people have read the promises in their sacred scriptures about “peace on Earth”. The promise of an age of peace is in all the holy books. The followers of every religion have prayed for it and imagined what it would be like to live in harmony with their fellow human beings. The United Nations General Assembly, 2002 proclaimed September 21 “International Peace Day”.

The question asked, “Is peace possible?”
The answer, “Yes, peace is not only possible, it is inevitable.”

Peace is God’s promise to humanity. The promise is in every holy book. However, simply because God promised it to us, doesn’t mean we can set idly by and wait for its arrival. Our assistance in helping in the peace process is important.
