Some Principles For Character-Building
English book, p. 40
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
we learn that in the event of a controversy, one should adopt a peaceful, rather than a confrontational, course of action. This concept is also present in other religions as basic teaching. For example, Christianity teaches: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.” (Matthew, 5:9) It is a fact that peace is a common teaching of various religions. It is also a fact that peace is the summum bonum or the highest good, which leads to the building of a better society. Without peace, there can be no individual or social development. Peace provides an environment where every group can flourish without harming others. Peaceful living is the most important part of moral living.
