A MUSLIM PRAYER FOR PEACE AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE

.
.
 .
.
.
MERCIFUL GOD,
You made all of the people of the world in Your own image and placed before us the pathway of salvation through different Preachers who claimed to have been Your Saints and Prophets. But, the contradictions in their teachings and interpretations of them have resulted in creating divisions, hatreds and bloodshed in the world community. Millions of innocent men, women and children have so far been brutally killed by the militants of several religions who have been committing horrifying crimes against humanity, and millions more would be butchered by them in the future, if You do not help us find ways to reunite peacefully.

IN THE NAME OF GOD,
 THE COMPASSIONATE, THE MERCIFUL,
 look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the controversial teachings of arrogance, divisions and hatreds which have badly infected our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; reunite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish Your purposes on earth; that, in Your good time, all nations and races may jointly serve You in justice, peace and harmony.
 (Amen)

JEWISH PRAYER FOR PEACE

.

Come let us go up to the mountain
of the Lord, that we may walk the paths
of the Most High. And we shall beat our swords
into ploughshares, and our spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation -
neither shall they learn war any more.
And none shall be afraid, for the
mouth of the Lord of Hosts
has spoken.

MUSLIM PRAYER FOR PEACE

.

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.
Praise be to the Lord of the Universe who has
created us and made us into tribes and nations,
that we may know each other, not that
we may despise each other.
If the enemy incline toward peace,
do thou also incline toward peace,
and trust in God, for the Lord is the one
that heareth and knoweth all things.
And the servants of God, Most Gracious
are those who walk on the Earth in humility,
and when we address them, we say "Peace."
