As Muslims, we find inner peace in the remembrance of our Creator ”Zikr”. People search for peace in many things; Some of them try to find calmness and serenity in reading books. Whether it’s non-fiction, fiction, or the many genres available, they seek peace in reading them. Perhaps it is a book on crime investigation, or mysterious and fantasy worlds. We must remind ourselves that reading the Quran and traditions and Bible proves for us that  the key for the world peace and any external and real peace is the inner peace. Those who want to be peace makers and peace keepers should be able first to make peace within themselves and with themselves then they are able to be activists in the field of peace. Our religious leaders and saints were real peace makers and peace keepers because they had merely this capacity. When we read about life of our Prophet  and the household we find that all of them were prominent peace makers. Examples mentioned in this research are the glorious messenger of God Muhammad and Imam Ali and Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein and Imam Mahdi and Bible. Also some verses of Holy Quran and traditions are surveyed here and also some opinions of modern and contemporary Psychologists are cited  for more certainty.

In contemporary life, we live in a world teeming with modern changes that have occurred in all fields and aspects of life, which is a natural product of the developments reached by the human mind and of modern technologies that accompanied the scientific, technological and information revolution that the world witnessed since the beginning of the twentieth century until the present time. Where we find that there are many radical fluctuations in the ways of living compared to the old ways. The concept of the culture of living reflects the individual’s attitudes, values and general vision of the world. Therefore, this term is concerned with the continuity and development of life and with the self and with the new concepts of culture that are in line with the identity of the individual, according to the community system and the imposed trends, which limit the individual’s choices in the way of life and thus what he can adopt to be reflection of his person in the environment. This culture falls according to the general vision of life, and the general framework in which the individual or society sees the world and this vision is often linked to existence and its essence, values, feelings and morals. The culture of living is often associated with either a religious, political or economic orientation, the renaissance of knowledge. What is rejected in behavior, path, and thought in peacetime becomes an acceptable situation in difficult times, producing a new aspect of the culture of living.

Dhull or humiliation is originally a Quranic word and all the Quranic subjects were of interest and importance to the Mystics. It is well-known that commendable characteristics and virtuous character in mysticism are both from the most important matters related to the ascending journey to the Lord. Humiliation is one of the mystical ethics which affects the voyage and motion to God. Humiliation of the soul for the obedience of God Almighty commands and staying away from sins are better than prayer and fasting, by which the traveler on the spiritual path gets closer to his Lord and makes him attain the Real Honor which is only something connected with the Honor of Allah, His messenger and believers. It must be mentioned that there are Spiritual Veils on the traveler’s way to God which have also its humiliation and evey veil is a trial from God Almighty who has tested His servants with it. The analytical-descriptive method of this research describes the nature of humiliation, not in its familiar meaning and its traces in the holy traveler’s journey to God. In this research we are going to see many important points from which the overflowing knowledge of God into the one who humiliated his soul for Allah’s sake is becoming one of the most significant humiliation effects in the wayfarer’s mystical life and how the worldlys’ norm in defining the humiliation nature differs completely from the Divine one which based on the complete submission and surrendering to Him.

Commitment to the covenant is one of the most important values in religious moral system. Faithfulness to the covenant and its profound role in human meaningful life and human societies can be considered and examined from different aspects; but the main question in this research is that: What are the importance and effects of fulfilling the covenant and its meaning in life From Religious Perspective? The method of this research is a descriptive method, by using library studies, review of documents and review of verses and hadiths and narrative-revelatory arguments related to the subject of discussion in the field of religious studies. We have concluded that based on the verses of the Quran and hadiths, commitment to the covenant has a high status in Islam like other Abrahamic religions; but in particular, the value of fulfilling the covenant in Islam has come to be synonymous with faith; this means that if a person does not fulfill his covenant, he has no faith. This meaning has been considered so important in the lives of human beings and human societies that if a covenant is made with the enemy and even the polytheists and unbelievers it must be committed. Therefore, one of the behaviors that play an important role in moral societies and it is important in making life meaningful and also in tolerance of human society, is the commitment to the covenant.

Over time and as the sun rose and set, the meaning of existence became more of a vivid concept. We are here to fill the void in this infinite universe. We grow when our hope grows or grow otherwise. When we think of this life, we find that it is a myth as an ongoing cycle. We  individuals believe that we are the center of existence, where even existence is based on our presence. We are in this world where we gradually get to know each other over time, but realistically as life passes on we hardly know who we are. Humans are unique  and wonder why they are unique. That is, our structure is one, but we all have a single arrangement from  head to our senses, two legs and two arms. But we are different, in all, in  form, in understanding, in our way of life, and even in our decisions. Therefore, the joy of our difference is that it achieves integration. Everyone has the same ingredients. However they adapt them in their own way, interacting with matter and nature, and then finds himself in a corner of life that forms a cornerstone of the basic ground. If that fails, it can create an imbalance that can only be corrected through the balance between individuals. We inherit integration through care. For example, if a doctor dies, another doctor will have to play that role.

Throughout history, distortion of religious texts and sources has always been the tool of authoritarian rulers and those in power and wealth, who used it to achieve their goals and in order to keep people in ignorance, and this distortion continues to today in human life. Therefore, addressing the issue of distortion of religious texts in the Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) is an important issue that shows how authentic these texts are and can be referred to them. Due to this necessity of discussion, in the present study, an attempt was made with a qualitative approach such as Document review and content analysis and given its role in human life, to explain and examine the issue of distortion in the Abrahamic religions, explain the reasons that prove that the Quran is far from distorted. The research findings indicated that distortion in the Holy Quran is not verbal possible; but in terms of spiritual, interpretation and esoteric interpretation of the Quran, like any other text, it is possible; at the same time, the issue of distortion in the Testaments refers to a further issue, given the human manipulation of sacred texts and the type of access to sacred texts. Accordingly, in the Testaments, forgery must be considered, and the issue is raised beyond distortion. The signs is that the original Torah and the Bible were manipulated by humans and throughout human life.
