A Review of Islamic Peace Narratives
Abstract
This study offers a post-9/11 analysis of Islamic Peace Narratives. It is a literature review of sorts and follows a pedagogically sound methodology from different states on the content of Islamic Peace Narratives. All Narratives are compared and contrasted in terms of reviewing, by assessing the commonalities, distinctions, appreciations, reservations and impacts. It provides the analyses of the texts of the OIC's Makkah Declaration, the Amman Message, the Marrakesh Declaration, and the Paigham -e- Pakistan's declaration. The objectives of this research are i.e, Firstly, to explain the Islamic terrorist narrative highlighted after 9/11, then to promote awareness about the implementation of Islamic Peace Narratives after its conversion into terrorism in the World and to examine the impacts of these Peace Narratives on the respective concerned countries. Although a lot of articles and books have been written on the concept of Post 9/11 and peace in Islam my specification of research is about to review of the Post 9/11 on Islamic Peace Narratives. To clarify my research, I just focused on the texts of selected Islamic Peace Narratives. It has added a new perspective to this study. In the end, recommendations are made for the implementation of these narratives in related and other Islamic Countries. The study's benefits include illuminating a review of Post–September 11th Islamic peace narratives for students, educators, researchers, and general readers.
