Why Religion May Not Bring Peace by Biodun556(op):
First and second World war were not caused by religion.

Consider the Quran verses below:


“You both get down from this [Garden], some of you being the enemies of the other. [On the earth], a guidance will certainly come to you from Me, and then whosoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor will he be unhappy. But whosoever turns away from My reminder, then he shall surely have a wretched life and we shall resurrect him blind.” (20:126)

Note: ... being enemy of the other

Then man has free will. He may decide to obey God's guidance or not.


Adam was destined to come to the earth anyway. Allah had declared even before creating Adam that “I want to place a vicegerent on the earth.”

Before creation of man and earth Allah had created hell and paradise. So it is something that will surely make some to be in hell and some in paradise.




It is part of man to oppress, be selfish or commit crimes based on what he believes in. It might be religion or something else.

Socialists and capitalists have being in constant struggle for long. Some are even insinuating that China (a socialist) is behind coronavirus.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No person is born but that he is pricked by Satan and he cries from the touch of Satan, except for Mary and her son.”

Abu Huraira said, “Recite the verse if you wish: Verily, I seek refuge for her and her offspring from the cursed Satan.” (3:36)




When your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a vicegerent on the earth,” the angels said, “Will You place on the earth the one who shall act wickedly in it and shed blood; whereas we sing Your praise and glorify You?” Allah said, “Surely I know what you do not know.”
Quran 2 verse 30



The angels recognized this through a special knowledge or they understood it through their knowledge about the human nature, as Allah has told them that He would make this kind (of creation) out of sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.

Also to do the Right and Good is also within the power of man but men have chosen to that which is wicked and evil continually and continously!

So it is Only the Natural Consequence that there would be No Peace because, evil is Anti-Peace!

God did not promise peace in the world of rebellious people, God only promise of peace in the gathering of true Christians. So wherever you find true Christians LOVE, JOY and PEACE will reign!
There is just one single Christian group and in their midst there is Love, Joy and PEACE! Isaiah 2:2-4

The European countries that colonize Africa were Christians. Even a ship used to load slaves was named Jesus that is Jesus of Lubec.

These were the people that brought Christianity to Africa and elsewhere. Considering how the slaves were maltreated and dehumanized. That is man for you.

The highlighted is gross misconception Sir!

There is no Christian country on planet earth, but it takes a measure of understanding to grasp that!

Please go through what Jesus taught his disciples and think of any country that's practicing it. God's word only promised of a Nation that will be born, this nation will emerge as individuals from different tribes, tongues and nations to form one big and happy global family of peace loving worshipers. Members of this global family will come from different countries and "they will all beat their swords into farming tools" meaning "none of them will ever think of carrying weapons for any reason again" Micah 4:1-3

Have you ever noticed such a group of people? smiley

I was a Muslim and i know what Muslims meant when they refer to any country as "Muslim Country" Such country will forcefully apply the tenets of Islam on it's citizens! smiley

Please go through the teachings of Jesus the man known as "Christ" then careful watch if there is any country in the world that's applying the teachings of the Jewish guy. Because that's exactly what Muslims are doing before they can refer to any country as "Islamic state"

Most people often call Nigeria a Muslim Country but if we're to go by the tenets of Islam Nigeria is a pagan nation, that's why the likes of Boko Haram are fighting hard to enforce the tenets of Islam in the north.

Presently i'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and i'll like you to put me through if what i'm saying is not correct.

May you have PEACE! smiley
