Verses from the Qur’an referring to Islam as the religion of peace, love and brotherhood:
You who believe! Enter Islam totally. Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Surat al-Baqara, 208)
Allah calls to the Abode of Peace and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.... (Surah Yunus, 25)
... if someone kills another person—unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth—it is as if he had murdered all mankind. ... (Surat al-Maida, 32)
The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat al-Hujurat, 10)
Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappear. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal, 46)
As for those who believe and do right actions, the All-Merciful will bestow His love on them. (Surah Maryam, 96)

Make allowances for people, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. (Surat al-A’raf, 199)
Hadith Regarding the Prophet Jesus (as) Bringing Peace and Love to the World and Putting an End to Killing, Oppression and War:
I swear that Jesus (as), son of Maryam will descend as a just ruler... And all HOSTILITIES, QUARRELS, ENVY WILL ABSOLUTELY VANISH... (Death – Doomsday – Hereafter, p. 498)
Jesus (as), son of Maryam will be a just judge and a just ruler, ... abolish the jizya (from the non-Muslims), FILL THE EARTH WITH PEACE just as the water fills the pot. There will also be unity in religion and noone other than Allah will be worshipped anymore. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
The Prophet Jesus (as) exists in my community as a just ruler... ALL HOSTILITY AND HATRED VANISH... Earth becomes like a silver plate and grows the plants in abundance just like in the time of the Prophet Adam (as) ... (Death – Doomsday – Hereafter, p. 496)
EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACE just like water fills the pot. NO HOSTILITY WILL REMAIN AND ALL HOSTILITIES, QUARRELS, ENVY WILL ABSOLUTELY VANISH. (Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
Then he will live for 40 years. Noone will die at his time. One will call on to his animals (to be out at grass); they will go and although they pass through the crop not even an anther they will taste. Snakes and scorpions will not harm anyone. Beasts will stand before the doors and will not harm anyone... (Imam Suyuti, Portents of Doomsday, Death and Resurrection, p. 1699, p 184)
ENMITY AND GRUDGE among people will disappear. Scorpions and snakes will be without poison; even a child will play with a snake with bare hands without getting a snakebite. A girl will try to drive a lion but that lion will not touch her. A wolf will remain among sheep as if it were a shepherd dog. As a bowl fills with water, the Earth will fill with the unity of religion. People will worship no being other than Allah. NOTHING IN THE NAME OF WARS, STRIFE WILL REMAIN... The Earth will be like a silver table. It will give off its plantations as it were in the time of Prophet Adam (as). A bunch of grapes will suffice a private. A group of people will be full with a single pomegranate. The price of an ox will be that much and a horse will be purchased in return for a dirham.
They said:
“The Messenger of Allah! Why will a horse be so cheap?”
“BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO WAR, PEOPLE WILL NOT NEED IT MUCH!”
“Why will an ox will be so expensive?”
“Because the entire Earth will be planted, it will be of great demand...” (Ibn Majah reported a similar one from Umama; Great Hadith Collection, Rudani, Volume 5, p. 370-371-372)
Jesus (as) remains among the people as a just judge, an absolute judicious imam (religious leader) – ruler... ALL ENMITIES, GRUDGE DISAPPEAR, the poison of each poisonous animal is drawn. Furthermore, a child puts his hand in the mouth of a snake but that snake does not give harm to it. A girl annoys a lion while caressing it but that lion does not give harm to the girl. A wolf becomes like a shepherd dog among a sheep herd. THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH PEACE AND SECURITY AS IF A BOWL IS FILLED WITH WATER. (At that time) a single word (the word of tawhid) remains and people worship only Allah. Warriors LEAVE THEIR WEIGHT (THAT IS THEIR ARMS, WEAPONS ETC.) (Death, Doomsday, the Hereafter, p.496-497)
[(Jesus (as)] will then live for forty years. AT HIS TIME NO ONE WILL DIE. A person will tell his sheep and animals to go and graze, they will go and although they will pass through crops, they will take not a single ear of grain into their mouths. Snakes and scorpions will not give harm to anyone. Predatory animals will lie at people’s doorsteps but they will not give harm to anyone. A person will take a scale of wheat and plant it [in a field] without ox and catapult, but he will still take seven hundred scales of wheat in return. (Imam Suyuti, Portents of Doomsday, Death and Resurrection, p. 184)
“For seven years NO ONE WILL BE ENEMIES TO ONE ANOTHER.” (264- Ibn Manda, a.e II 958-9, el-Mukhaddas, a.E. Vr. 136-a 137-b)
In his [Jesus’ (as)] time soil brings out its treasures in its depths. People do not demand any possessions. Envy and grudge disappear. Allah clears off the poison of each poisonous being. Thus children play with snakes and scorpions, but they are not harmed. Wolves do not give harm to sheep. PEOPLE DO NOT KILL ONE ANOTHER. PEACE DOMINATES THE EARTH. Soil gives plenty of crops as it were in its initial days. (265- see. Musnad, II, 409, 437; al-Safarini, Lavami, II 95) (Dr. Zeki Sarıtoprak, Jesus’ Descend from the Point of Islam, Cağlayan Press, Izmir, 1997, p.96)
THERE WILL BE NO PLACE FOR GRUDGE AND ENMITY AMONG PEOPLE since the reasons disappeared... (Signs of the Doomsday, pp. 242-243)
“Jesus (as), son of Maryam, will descend no matter what.”... “ENMITY, GETTING CROSS WITH EACH OTHER AND JEALOUSY WILL BE REMOVED.” (Abu Huraira (ra), Great Hadith Collection, Rudani, Vol. 5, p. 379)

Hadith Describing How in the Time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) No Blood Will Be Spilled and How Even the Sleeper Will Not Be Wakened
People will seek refuge in Hazrat Mahdi (as) as honey bees cluster around their sovereign. He will fill the world that was once full of cruelty, with justice. His justice will be as such that HE WILL NOT WAKE A SLEEPING PERSON OR EVEN SHED ONE DROP OF BLOOD. The Earth will return to the age of happiness.1
[Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will follow the way of the Prophet. HE WILL NOT WAKE UP A SLEEPING PERSON OR SHED BLOOD.2
HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE SO COMPASSIONATE THAT NO ONE WILL BE WOKEN UP FROM THEIR SLEEP OR HAVE A BLEEDING NOSE.3
Those who swear allegiance to him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will swear between the rock and the pillar (by the Kaaba). HE WILL NOT WAKEN THE SLEEPER, AND HE WILL SPILL NO BLOOD.4
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), WAR WILL COME TO AN END AND ARMIES WILL ABANDON THEIR WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT:
War will lay down its burden (arms and the like).5
The warriors will abandon their weight [weapons and kits].6
All grudges and mutual hatred will be lifted (removed)... Earth will be filled with peace, just as a vessel is filled with water; the word will become one [i.e., there will be only one religion], and only Allah will be worshiped; the battle will put down its weapons [i.e., come to an end].7
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), ENMITY, CONFLICT AND WAR WILL COME TO AN END.
There will be no enmity between anyone. And all enmity, quarrels and disputes will surely disappear.8
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), THE WORLD WILL BE FILLED WITH JUSTICE:
HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL FILL THE WORLD, once filled with oppression, WITH JUSTICE instead.9
The Mahdi is one of my people, and HE WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH TRUTH AND JUSTICE, just as it was once filled with cruelty and torture.10
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), THE WORLD WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACE:
[In Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) time] ALL GRUDGES AND MUTUAL HATRED WILL BE LIFTED (REMOVED), the sting of every stinging insect will be removed until a baby will insert his or her finger in snake's mouth and not be harmed, and the wolf will be like the dog among the sheep [safeguarding them]. EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACE, just as a vessel is filled with water; the word will become one [i.e., there will be only one religion], and only Allah will be worshiped; the battle will put down its weapons [i.e., come to an end].11
... In his [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] day the sheep will graze with the wolf, and children will play with snakes...12
