Maintain Distance

Maintain Distance When I read it, I realized that these two words carry a lot of wisdom. This forms a complete philosophy that applies not only to road travel but also to life’s journey. In the present world, no one lives in complete isolation. Everyone must work among many others. Each person has their own interests and an ego. Everyone wants to move forward by pushing others down. This situation requires us to always follow the principle of “maintain distance” in life’s journey. We should keep enough space from others to continue our path without the risk of collision. This very principle is emphasized in the Quran (28:55) as i‘raaz—turning away with restraint. If you do not keep this wisdom in mind, your benefit may clash with another’s benefit. A single harsh word from you could cause someone else’s anger. A moment of carelessness might lead you into unnecessary conflict with others. The consequence is similar to a road: an accident. A road accident stops a person’s trip and can even end the traveler’s life. Likewise, ignoring this principle in life will stop your progress. You might also lose your life or be erased from history like a mistake. There are numerous examples of this throughout history. Whenever someone pushes their boundaries, they often face a terrible outcome. Nitin Walia is a 3-year-old boy who lives with his parents, Vijay Pal Walia and Sunita, in Shahdara. He wanted to see
