Make Peace and Reconciliation among the Contending Believers

Differences are inevitable among human beings. However, if two groups of believers (i.e. two families, two relatives, two neighbours, two parties, two ethnic groups, two countries, etc. or two individuals) fall out and fight each other, then make peace and reconciliation among them (instead of staying indifferent, or adding fuel to the fire). And should one of them commit aggression against the other, then fight the aggressor till it complies with Allah’s Command (and turns to peace and reconciliation). Then if it complies, then make peace between the fighting factions with equity and be just and impartial. Surely Allah loves those who do justice. The Believers are but a single brotherhood. So (it is your duty to) make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers. [Al-Quran Sura 49: Verses 9-10]
