Islam is sent by Allah S.W.T through His messenger, our beloved prophet Muhammad S.A.W and is seen as a complete and perfect religion to answer all of the problems faced by humankind on this earth. Its integrated and natural system can be implemented anywhere, anytime and in all situations. All of its rules and regulations are not against the natural norms and dispositions of humans. It is sent solely for the assurance in forming a harmonious life, free of quarrels and arguments that can cause chaos in the lives of humans. In our daily lives, we cannot help but face various difficulties, problems, misunderstandings, and disputes. Therefore, Islam cannot let its followers find the solution for such matters without providing a way out as well as instilling the spirit of Islam in it. When solving a dispute, Islam promotes a method based on the principle of ‘al-Sulh’ which simply means peace. Islam truly encourages the practice of sulh as it highlights efforts of peace-making through acceptance. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W very much encouraged his followers to seek peace and avoid having disputes with one another. There is an event involving Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. solving a dispute among the Quraisy dignitaries regarding the right to place the Hajar al-Aswad that proves the practice of sulh is very much promoted in Islam. This research uses the qualitative method and document analysis, literary research and scientific journals. The research is hoped to provide insights on the Alternative Dispute Resolution via sulh processes and its kind in the perspective of Islam.
