The Muslim Council of Elders\u2019 stand at the Cairo International Book Fair presents visitors with a selection of its latest publications for 2025. Among the featured releases is a book titled, \u201cInternational Peace: Shared Values and Foundational Concepts\u201d, a collective work by the team behind the project \u201cWhat Contributions Can Muslims in Europe and the West Make to Building International Peace?\u201d, edited and coordinated by Tijani Boulaouali. The book is published by Al-Hokama Center for Peace Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book highlights that peace is a universal and comprehensive goal, as emphasized in the Qur\u2019anic verse: \u201cO you who have believed, enter into peace completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy\u201d [The Quran, 2:208]. Peace is presented as a universal human and cosmic objective, embodying an innate human inclination. Accordingly, the book focuses on the subject of international peace, exploring it through the lens of values, concepts, and contexts. It represents the culmination of efforts by a group of specialized researchers engaged in a project examining the contributions of Muslims in Europe and the West to fostering international peace, as part of a European Studies program within Al-Hokama Center for Peace Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book is divided into three volumes, each addressing a distinct theme. The first volume, titled \u201cShared Values and Concepts for Building International Peace\u201d, includes an introduction and seven research papers. The second volume, titled \u201cDrawing on Shared Contexts to Foster International Peace\u201d, contains eight research papers. The third volume, \u201cUniversal Shared Values and International Peacebuilding\u201d, features six research papers written in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The volume presented at the stand, \u201cShared Values and Concepts for Building International Peace\u201d, includes seven academic papers addressing topics such as \u201cIslamic Jurisprudential Heritage and the Value of Peace\u201d, \u201cMuslims in the West and the Jurisprudence of Citizenship\u201d, \u201cPeople of the Book and Islamic Tolerance\u201d, \u201cThe Medina Charter and the Project of Coexistence in a Pluralistic Society\u201d, \u201cThe Non-Religious Other in Qur\u2019anic and Jurisprudential Perspectives\u201d, \u201cThe Dichotomy of Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Kufr: Prospects for Coexistence in the West\u201d, and \u201cThe Transition from Theological Debate to Interfaith Dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
