In this situation, many theologians have tried to emphasize on commonalities of religions and focus their attention on a common understanding in matters such as peace and tranquility in religious sources.

The final finding is that content of Qur'an and the New Testament show that both heavenly books seek peace of man in both worlds.Khadijeh aAsilAlireza SaberianJafar TabanComparative Education Society of Iran ( CESIR)articleeducational methodquraninternational crisespeacereligious educationnew testamentEducationLENIranian Journal of Comparative Education, Vol 3, Iss 4, Pp 893-906 (2020)
