3. AVOIDANCE

3. Avoidance ~ 11 ~ combating violence with violence, we should adopt the policy of avoidance; remaining united in spite of differences. According to Islam, it is not only a point of social behavior but also an act meriting great reward. Living with people, and observing their principles are acts which would deserve a reward in normal circumstances, but when one continues to be wellbehaved in spite of differences and grudges, by curbing negative sentiments, then the reward is increased manifold. God will count those who sedulously avoid friction among the possessors of a superior character. For the human character to retain its superiority there must be staunch and unceasing adherence to the principle of avoidance.
