ASK MAULANA

The Quran condemns other communities' wrong religious practices and beliefs. Some critics say that this encourages Muslims to think negatively about other people. How would you respond to their claim? Present-day Muslims have become negative with regard to political and communal issues. According to Islam, political and communal issues are not issues at all. Making these issues one’s concern is a result of communal thinking and not Islamic thinking. In Islam there is no condemnation. Rather, there is analysis of ideological issues. There is a clear difference between condemnation and analysis. ‘Condemnation’ is a negative term, while ‘analysis’ is completely a positive term. Analysis is also done in scientific matters and Islam applies this principle to religious issues. o Ignorance is not Bliss Most of the problems in life are due to ignorance. Recognize your ignorance, do something about it, and you will be saved from unnecessary problems. 30 Seconds Rule Anger has an upward movement in the first 30 seconds and then starts moving in downward direction.
