Abstract
Global peace is amongst the most critical necessities of the current age. Islamic Gnosticism, in comparison with attitudes adopted by sociology and international law, adopts a different attitude. In this attitude, even war, controversy and conflict are seen from a different angle of look. I the view of a Gnostic, the whole universe is a manifestation of divine names. So, considering the contrast of names which justifies diversities and contrasts in the world, in the view of a Gnostic, these contrasts and diversities are not seen with wrath. Besides, the peaceful view of a peacemaker Gnostics necessitates impelling of the conflict and contrasts of human world toward peace as all the diversities are aggregated and consolidated under the comprehensive name of “Allah”. This peace originates from inward of a Gnostic which adopts a social and global dimension in the path of guiding and assisting others. The utopian models show that establishment of such societies has been an ideal of humankind and governors of these societies possess Gnostic attributes. As much as leaders of human societies enjoy Gnostic attributes and attitudes, and trained on the basis of Gnostic method, the global society becomes closer to peaceful world and global peace.
