What’s the Violence We Mean?
We border violence in this contect with these terms:
(1) Violence by unauthorithy ones, (2) Violence by injustice authorities, (3) Violence by abuse of power, (4) Violence with criminal tends, (5) Violence with no reasons
So, oppresions by authority, or credible one, or by defendant reason against aggresion, or to stand the law or rule (including religion law), etc, are out of the contect. We may accept if those happened.

Root Causes of Violence?

• Psychological reasons (individual, with logic or illogical tends)
• Difficulties of life (commonly by family based on background)
• Habits, by individual or group.
• Low education, especially on moral, ethics & religion
• Poor of solidarity, by design or accidental, i.e violence by supporters
•  Disparities or gap amongst the society (that implemented on daily real life)
• Injustice or partial policy: by the state or society or super power (that force mass frustration)
• Lack of law enforcement.

“By refering Prophet Muhammad SAW’s steps, we sure that first-5-reveled surah of al-Quran started by Iqra’ is the right path to build genuine Islamic civilization in modern world.”

The arguments:
1.   Al-‘Alaq (1-5) introducing the existence of God and humans as God’s creation. This means that human life –by iqra’ processes-- must be under God authority, the Creator.
2.   Al-Qalam (1-7) ensure that human life will not be ‘crazy’ (read: succesfully) by Qur’an way, the book which God Himself directing.

Islamic Dakwah Fields
1.  Sending dakwah mission/da’is, especially to muslim minority regions in Indonesia (and also abroad by joint programs with foreign Islamic organization)
