ASK MAULANA

to advocate or defend Aurangzeb and other Muslim rulers. This fails to create a favourable or positive atmosphere for dialogue and for putting your position across. So, we need to know the wisdom of how to engage in dialogue. My personal experience is that I always achieve something positive from dialogue through this sort of wisdom. Other Muslims always try to defend the behaviour and policies of Muslim kings. But I never do that. I just say, “That person was a Muslim king. That was a Muslim dynasty. And it wasn’t Islam.” I always stress that one has to differentiate between Islam and Muslims, and that one should gauge Muslims according to Islamic teachings, and not Islamic teachings according to the behaviour of Muslims, including Muslim kings. In this way, I have been able to promote a positive and open attitude among dialogue partners and engage in positive interactions with them. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
