By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

PEACE IN ISLAM ~ 125 ~ bomb is the way of Satan. On the contrary, the way approved of by God is to neutralize the bomb. It is but natural for any given society to have to face distasteful situations. No group of human beings can ever be totally free from untoward happenings in their midst. This being so, the actual solution to the problem lies not in putting an end to the unpleasantness itself, but rather in refraining from aggravating matters, which is what inevitably happens if one kind of unpleasantness is met with another. Again, I would reiterate that bombs should not be countered with bombs. By refraining from violence, the baneful influence of social friction can be checked from spreading. There is no other possible solution. WAR ONLY FOR DEFENCE The Quran states: “Permission to fight is given to those who are attacked because they have been wronged.” (22:39)
