Religion has historically been crucial in influencing peacebuilding initiatives and conflict resolution methodologies. This paper examines the Islamic methodology for dispute resolution, highlighting its tenets of justice, reconciliation, and compassion. The research elucidates essential processes for dispute resolution, including mediation (ṣulḥ), arbitration (taḥkīm), and forgiveness (ʿafw), based on Islamic teachings from the Qur'an, Hadith, and classical jurisprudence. The study contends that Islamic teachings advocate for a comprehensive approach to peace, reconciling individual rights with social cohesion. This study enhances the comprehension of religion's role in promoting sustainable peace through the examination of theoretical frameworks and practical implementations.
