Save yourself from Suffering by Saving Others

English book, p. 269

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

SAVE YOURSELF FROM SUFFERINGBY SAVING OTHERS other party will suffer from it, so too will he have to suffer in one form or another in consequence. This grave reality, as explained in the above prophetic saying, relates to everyone. No one is exempt from it. No one has the power to escape it. The truth is that in this world the easiest way to have a peaceful life is to keep the peace with others. One who gives no one any trouble, saves himself from trouble. One who does not make anyone suffer, saves himself from suffering in this world. In this world no one can lead a life apart from the system of nature. Here everyone has to live in accord with this plan of nature, whether big or small. Here living in accord with the plan of nature leads to success, while deviation from it leads to failure. Islam is not something separate from nature. Islam is in fact an application of these eternal principles of nature to human life.
