    One of the first major differences between Catholicism and Protestantism is the issue of the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. Protestants believe that the Bible alone is the source of God’s special revelation to mankind and teaches us all that is necessary for our salvation from sin. Protestants view the Bible as the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured. This belief is commonly referred to as “sola scriptur” and is one of the “five solas” (sola is Latin for “alone”) that came out of the Protestant Reformation as summaries of some of the differences between Catholics and Protestants.

    Working on reconciliation is critical for peacebuilding and conflict prevention as it focuses on (re)building and transforming relationships damaged by violent conflict and oppression. Unless action is taken to repair harm resulting from past violence, and to work toward a fair and interdependent future, peace will remain elusive. What we can do is to make religious harmony between different stakeholders and bring them on a single universal platform which will maintain the representation from every sector in the society…and must excel above all differences.

    Salafism Beliefs Explained

    Salafism is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam that emphasizes strict adherence to the teachings and practices of the first three generations of Muslims, known as the “Salaf.” The beliefs of Salafists include:

    The belief in the oneness of God (Tawhid) and the rejection of all forms of polytheism or idolatry.

    The belief in the absolute authority of the Qur’an and the Sunnah (teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad) is the primary source of Islamic law and guidance.

    The belief in the strict adherence to the practices and traditions of the Salaf, and the rejection of any innovation (bid’ah) in the religion.

    The belief in the importance of upholding sharia (Islamic law) in all aspects of life.

    The belief in the importance of purifying the faith and society from perceived moral decay and cultural influence.

    Salafism has several sub-branches, each with its own interpretations and practices, but these beliefs are generally considered central to the Salafist ideology.
