Abstract
Peace is indispensable to the very existence of the human family. It is, therefore, an essential message of nearly all religions of the world. Peace is not just a component of life; rather, it is life in itself. The decade from 2001 to 2010, was declared by the UN as the International Decade for a Culture of Peace. In view of this, the recent developments around the world have posed a serious question as to how can peace be achieved and maintained on the globe. This research paper is rooted in the philosophy that peace can be achieved and maintained by the process of educating individuals for peace. This paper explores the provision of peace-related concepts in world religions for securing a better tomorrow. Five major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism constituted the sample. The methodology was analytical approach towards the sacred scriptures of these religions. Points of similarity were highlighted and tabulated as well as opposing stances of the same religions. It was found that nearly all these religions preach the sanctity of human blood as well as of the whole creation; hence peace is to be inculcated in the minds of individuals through education.
