The Universal Message
The Merrimam-Webster dictionary defines peace (\ ˈpēs \) as: 1). a state of tranquility or quiet; 2). freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions; 3) agreement and harmony among people; 4). freedom from or the cessation of war or violence.

It pervades all religions, and is foundation upon which all higher callings stand upon. The Holy Qurʾān asserts the importance of peace by telling us “O You who believe! Enter absolutely into peace (Islam). Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. He is an outright enemy to you.” —Sūrat al-Baqarah 2:208.
