The Policy of Mutual Non-interference

The Non-Confrontational Methods for Peace law of nature never fails. If you follow this strategy based on the law of nature, you will certainly have success. The Policy of Delinking T he British educator E.E. Kellet (1864 – 1950) writing about the Prophet Muhammad in his book, A Short History of Religions, observes, ‘He faced adversity with the determination to wring success out of failure.’1 What was the method which led the Prophet to this unusual success? It was adherence to the policy of delinking two issues. One example of this is when in 610 AD the Prophet Muhammad began his mission in Makkah, a town of Arabia, to propagate the ideology of monotheism – that is, believing in the one God and worshipping Him alone. It was the first quarter of the seventh century and in those times the Arabs were mostly idol worshippers. Two thousand five hundred years prior to this, the Prophet Abraham had built a mosque in Makkah in which to worship the one God. It is this mosque which is called the Kaaba. But, in later periods, idol worshippers belonging to various Arab tribes began to place their idols in the Kaaba until, finally, the total number of idols within the precincts of the Kaaba reached no less than 360.
