In the Quran, there are several verses that mention the rewards for peacemakers. For instance, in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 208, Allah says: "O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." This verse implies that by following the teachings of Islam and avoiding the ways of Satan, one can attain peace and harmony.
In another verse, Surah Al-Anfal, verse 61, Allah says: "But if the enemy inclines towards peace, then you (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah. Verily, He is the One who hears and knows all things." This verse emphasizes the importance of making peace with one's enemies and trusting in Allah.
Furthermore, in Surah Al-Fussilat, verse 34, Allah says: "And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel (evil) by that (deed) which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity (will become) as though he was a devoted friend." This verse encourages Muslims to respond to bad behavior with good behavior, which can lead to reconciliation and friendship between former enemies.
The Quran emphasizes the importance of making peace and being a peacemaker. Those who strive for peace and harmony, whether in personal relationships or on a larger scale, can expect to be rewarded by Allah.
Quran 42:40:
"وَلَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا ۖ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ"
"And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers." (Quran 42:40)
This verse states that the punishment for an evil deed is another evil deed of the same nature. However, if one forgives and reconciles with the wrongdoer, their reward will be from Allah. Allah does not like those who commit wrongdoings and oppress others.
This verse encourages forgiveness and reconciliation rather than revenge and retaliation. It is a reminder that forgiveness and reconciliation are highly valued in Islam and are rewarded by Allah.
In summary, this verse emphasizes that the recompense of an evil deed is an evil like thereof, but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, then their reward is with Allah, and Allah does not like wrongdoers. This means that if someone has been wronged, they have the right to seek recompense and justice, but forgiveness and reconciliation are highly encouraged in Islam. Those who choose to forgive and make peace will be rewarded by Allah, and it is against Allah's will to be unjust and wrong others. Therefore, it is essential for believers to be peacemakers and work towards forgiveness and reconciliation in all situations.
