HISTORY OF REACTION

The above attitude of individuals highlights the importance of incentive for development and success. The same concept has to be extended towards the development of the society to get the right results. For example, in the primitive age, man used to walk on foot and get tired. So, to overcome the problem of tiredness he discovered the horse for riding. But travelling on horses had its shortcomings. Man then invented the wheel for conveyance. Improving on this, he discovered steam power, harnessing it for transportation. Then when faced with newer problems, man developed the motor car. It was the continuous challenges which led man to build the aircraft for travel thereby giving us the conviction that necessity is the mother of invention. So, reacting without giving consideration to universal truths is a negative response to a situation; while a non-reactive and well thought out response within the framework of realities will bring in positive results. o Freedom in Islam According to Islam that person is most precious who leads his life in this world in such a manner that despite facing all sorts of temptations he succeeds in overcoming them; despite having the power to misuse his freedom, he refrains from doing so; despite the possibility of leading an unprincipled life, he chooses of his own free will to be a man of principle. To identify such individuals it is essential that an atmosphere of freedom prevail in the world. This is not possible under any other system.
