COMMUNAL HARMONY
English book, PDF p. 9
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Keeping in mind the saying of the Prophet about seeking wisdom from all sources we have this beautiful common teaching from different faiths. As far as religious beliefs are concerned they are one’s personal discovery. We follow the maxim “FOLLOW ONE AND RESPECT ALL” The Golden Rule Hinduism This is the sum of duty. Do not unto others that which would cause you pain if done to you. (Mahabharata. 5:1517) Christianity In everything , do to others what you would have them do to you. For this sums up the law and the prophets. (Mathew 7:12) Islam None of you shall be true believers unless you wish for your brother the same that you wish for yourself. (Prophet of Islam) Buddhism Do not offend others as you would not want to be offended. (Udanavarga 5:18) Sikhism No one is my enemy, none a stranger and everyone is my friend. (Guru Arjan Dev: Ag 1299) Judaism That which you do not wish for yourself you shall not wish for your neighbour. This is the whole law. (Talmud Shabbat 31) Jainism All are my friends. I have no enemies. (Mahavira) Wisdom is the lost treasure of a believer, seek it from wherever you find it. -Prophet of Islam
