چکیده:
Religion plays a major role in the life of believing men and women. On many occasions, it has been used as a tool to achieve major personal as well as social objectives. One of the unmatched potentials possessed by religion as seen throughout history is its role in mobilizing masses for peace, reconciliation and also for destruction. There have been plenty of discussions and books written on the topic of comparative study in the field of theology, yet this article distinguishes itself in its effort to highlight the common social ethics in Islamic and Christian teachings in order to achieve a peaceful world. Islam and Christianity are of special importance to global peace as the adherents of these two religions constitute almost half of the people around the globe. The socio-ethical currents in the two divinely followed religions will be compared though descriptive methodology. It gives the followers of the respected religion a way forward in their interaction with each other. The result of such comparative study demonstrates the capacity embedded in these religions wherein a person can be a firm adherent to his/her belief yet be good to his/her neighbors or brethren in humanity.

There have been plenty of discussions and books written on the topic of comparative study in the field of theology, yet this article distinguishes itself in its effort to highlight the common social ethics in Islamic and Christian teachings in order to achieve a peaceful world.
This article has taken upon itself the responsibility of explaining some of the common principles of social ethics in the religion of Islam and Christianity in order to attain global peace.
The goal as mentioned earlier is to point out the common social ethics in Islam and Christianity in order to achieve sustainable global peace.
Therefore, the majority of religions have the potential to make a unique contribution to make the world a peaceful place by encouraging their subjects to engage with one another peacefully, using the resources within their own religious tradition to achieve harmony and coexistence on a global scale.
The differences between the two religious traditions on how to apply God’s law in human situations must not hinder cooperation and dialogue, but as the Quran instructs the Muslims and the Christians to hold on to the communalities of worshipping no one but God… (Quran 3:64) Human Dignity The basic criterion for a peaceful world which is common between Islam and Christianity is the criterion of Human dignity.
