Abstract

The aim of this work is opening up a new area of research on conflict prevention. A conflict is a form of disagreement that is capable of resulting in violence. There has been so much waste of lives, properties, and resources all over the world as a result of the uncontrollable conflict that has resulted in violence. It has become necessary to deal with the problem before it escalates into violence, hence the need to seek ways of preventing rather than ways of resolving conflict. The work adopted a qualitative research methodology with a literary approach using books, journal articles, and internet sources to gather data. Religions (Islam and Confucianism) have been at the forefront of preaching and teaching against conflict as ways of preventing same. More could be gained from exploring their approaches. This chapter recommends that scholars should explore this theme further and encourage religions not to relent in the fight.
