God does not want peace on earth!
-
So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in the fire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it
{107}
Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.
{108}
And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; a gift which shall never be cut off.When Earth ceases to exist...

Just because Allah created everything doesn't mean he doesn't want peace on earth. Allah didn't make the devil be ungrateful he caused it himself and Allah didn't make the devil promise to mislead mankind so how can you say Allah doesn't want peace on earth, while He didn't make the choices for ibliss and mankind to misbehave? doesn't make sence right.
Look at this verse from chapter An-Nisa79
Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself. And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger to mankind, and Allah is Sufficient as a Witness.
You see that all good comes from Allah but people turn away from him and don't acknowledge Him and that comes with consequenses so even when bad happens to you because of your actions and Allah is the one who punishes you, the punishment is still caused by you.

May be you will understand if I say that Allah does not want the Truth to be compromised with Falsehood.
Iblis is here to live till the end of time and there is wisdom in that. There is no time the earth will be devoid of a Truthful person because there is no wisdom in that.
So the earth is a battlefield between the two oppossing forces.

I understand what you're saying, offcourse there won't be total peace we have to fight against evil by submitting to God and His laws but doesn't mean God doesn't want peace and I think peace can be accomplished especially thanks to God by remembering Him etc , maybe there won t be peace as big as world peace but peace of mind is not impossible I think, maybe not all the time.

This earth is hardly a battlefield between opposing forces. Satan knows he is going to lose. To do battle with God is like a fight between a million foot giant and a small ant. This life is hardly a war between good and evil. It is no more different than a war between a billion fully armed soldiers and a 100 maggots. rotfl God knows the unseen. The Righteous have already won. The main purpose of this life is to separate God?s servants from the rest of mankind. God wants vicegerents to rule the new earth. He wants sincere people who are appreciative of his creations.

You are absolutely correct Ikrame. God never threatened Man and Satan to do evil. They did it themselves. When Adam was in the Garden, God told Adam not to eat of the Tree. Adam disobeyed God. So who then is responsible. God or Man???
1422 The devil said when the matter was complete "God had promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you and broke my promise. I had no power over you except that I invited you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves; I cannot help you nor can you help me. I reject that you have set me as a partner before this; the wicked will have a painful retribution."
The main reason why there is hardly peace on earth is because most men behave like arrogant, ignorant brats. Most of mankind are dumb. It is not God?s fault , they did it to themselves.
Peace,

I agree with you KDC501

Eventually, duality will be reconciled. There are both evil and good forces inside you, and they will eventually become friends.
I would like to say a word about people who refuse to acknowledge their own evil. It has been my life experience that those who most loudly and persistently insist upon their own goodness are some of the worst human beings that you will ever meet. Especially those who like to point out the flaws (i.e. "the evil" of others.
"Don't go chasing monsters, lest ye become a monster yourself."-Friedrich Nietzsche
We all have evil tendencies. Acknowledgment of these tendencies is a necessary step in countering them and transforming them into universal love. God will grant peace on earth when humanity collectively decides that there will be peace on earth. As the Koran says, all will perish but the face of God.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Train yourself to let go of everything that you fear to lose. "
-- Master Yoda,- When one see himself as the most righteous, he fear that he shall lose his righteousness.
- Pointing out the 'unrighteousness' in others shall bring comfort in himself that he's still the most righteous.
- Upon realizing that there are more righteousness in others he start to felt anger.
- He hate those whom he see as more righteous than he is.
- The accumulated hatred within his heart shall bring suffering to his own self.
Arrogance, Envy, Hatred is the characteristic of "Iblis" as told in the Quran.
If one want peace, he better start with his own self.. be at peace with yourself.Salam / Peace

Master Yoda....
Arrogance, Envy, Hatred... and the rest of 7 deadly sins comes from poverty. Quran 2268
Iblis don't have total Freedom from Allah. Quran 234
Iblis is so bored because it have all the time in the universe and nothing fun to it accept making people commit sin. Setting up a shield against it, is a good Idea.

There's no such thing as poverty.. in spiritual context..
Poverty or wealth is just a 'trial' a 'dressing' an 'illusion' of one's mind..And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and loss of wealth, lives and produce. But give good tidings to the patient ones. Those who, when a calamity befalls them say "We belong to God and to Him we return." Upon these are blessings from their Lord and mercy and these are the rightly-guided ones.
(2155-157)Iblis is so bored because it have all the time in the universe and nothing fun to it accept making people commit sin. Setting up a shield against it, is a good Idea.
You seem to know him very well..
Where did you guys met? Or whether he goes to the same high school as you?Salam / Peace

Islam means complete submission to God.
In our material activities, God does not want a Muslim/Submitter to make peace with injustice. God does not want a submitter to make peace with the present unjust world rulers. God wants a Muslim to fight the present world order until there is justice.
Does Islam mean peace with evil?

War is only allowed in the following cases
(1) In self-defense
(2) To prevent injustice and immoral prosecution of innocent people whether they be believers or non-believers(Sura 2190, Sura 475, Sura 839, 22;39)
War in 'the religion of Abraham' is no more different than what you would expect in a country that upholds good values and prevents injustice. Wars are sometimes needed to be fought in order to accomplish peace and security. Look at World War 2 for instance. If the Brits and the Americans didn't fight the Axis (Nazis and Japanese) this world would have been in utter chaos. (Thanks be to God who determines the outcome of wars.) Wars are not evil. It only becomes evil if you're fighting for the wrong reasons. If you fight to uphold peace , and to bring about justice and equality to every believer and non-believer (who wants peace) then surely you are fighting for a good cause.
Peace,
Kevin

Quran Support for that? Are you sure that is true?
poverty is anything unless stated otherwise;
2268 Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

234 And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
you want to win the argument so badly, yeah you win on that.

omeiza how is peace accomplished when you make peace with injustice?? meaning of peace= The absence of war or other hostilities.
Impossible - there can never be a genuine peace as long as there is intended injustice.
But there is peace when a slave accepts a master at heart and becomes a true slave. No person, no matter how good, has the right to dictate or lord over a sane adult.
A Muslim must never accept slavery, at least not at heart. The devil will never stop to wage war on a Muslim until the Muslim accepts to become a true slave.
