TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

When things come to this level, the evil goes beyond all limits, that is, Muslims start killing Muslims. The Prophet of Islam had already predicted this evil, which he said would creep into the ummah. This prediction of the Prophet has been fulfilled in the twenty-first century. The self proclaimed jihadists are killing Muslims as well as others. This phenomenon tells us that, in present times, violence among Muslims is the worst kind of evil. It is a warning to Muslims that if they do not repent and abandon the way of killing and bloodshed, they are taking the risk of being held as unbelievers in the eyes of God. This prophetic warning should be enough to make the Muslims of today sincerely repent and altogether give up violence without a moment’s delay. They should throw their weapons into the sea and lead their lives as peaceful citizens. There is no other option for Muslims. o Wise Way Of Living To save our own freedom, we have to tolerate the freedom of others. And to save our own spirituality, we have to overlook the misuse of freedom by others. We have to ignore others' undesirable behaviour in order to ensure that our own personality development will proceed along the right lines. This is the wise way of living in this world. No where in the Quran or the Hadith have Muslims been commanded to resort to war for the purposes of eradicating oppression and establishing justice.
