Leniency at all Times

Leniency at all Times Moses but to humankind in general. It is relevant everywhere—in the family, in society, in national life as well as in international life. It is applicable to both religious and secular matters. There is no alternative: everyone must follow this pattern Moses followed the above divine guidance, but according to both the Quran and the Bible, Pharaoh did not choose to accept his advice. This does not mean that one should doubt the veracity of this guidance. This Quranic guidance is absolute, with no exception whatsoever. Both men and women must follow this guidance as such, without any regard for the result. Sometimes the result may not be positive: nevertheless, this principle must be adhered to in all situations. If the desired result is to be attained, it must be done by leniency or should not be done at all. Here you have only one choice: to adhere to this principle. If there is no instant result, then we have to wait and hope that the future will bring the desired result. Leniency is not an act of cowardice or an act of retreat. In fact, it is a sign principled behaviour and a mark of sublime character. In the long run it can vanquish all. Only leniency can give you the required result, for the opposite behaviour will prove to be counter-productive. This teaching is eternal in nature. It is as relevant to the present times and it was to the times of the Prophet Moses. No negative consequences can cast any doubt on its veracity. It is an everlasting truth.
