Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 460

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Anger has to be countered with forgiveness. Provocation has to be countered with silence. War is not to be ended with more war but with negotiation. The answer to hatred is not hatred but love and compassion. Honour must be returned with honour. This is the only way to success in this world. Other paths will only lead to ruination and extinction. BEARING WITH BITTERNESS In life one should be patient: refraining from negative reaction, maintaining a positive attitude at all times and adhering and following the path of truth unilaterally. A ccording to Chapter 23 of the Quran, God will say of his obedient, loyal servants in the Hereafter: “I have rewarded them this Day for their steadfastness, and it is they who have triumphed.” (23: 111) Patience is the only price of a virtuous life required in this world. Those who are willing to pay this necessary price of patience are the ones who will be successful in this world as well as in the eternal world after death.
