FROM MAULANA’S DESK

in unity with the rest of the world. A true pilgrim cannot afford to differentiate between a Muslim and a person of another faith. He has to be a well-wisher to everyone. Whatever positive contribution he makes should have its effects for everyone around him. His goodness will not be confined to the people of his own community. In fact, he will consider the entire mankind as one community. He joins with the people of his community at the time of worship, but he certainly includes the well-being of all of mankind in his prayers to God. o Maulana Wahiduddin Khan editor@thespiritofislam.org Follow Maulana at speakingtree.in Patience & Wisdom Some people go to extremes in their opposition to others by turning aggressive. But in this world that God has made, your opponents too, have the freedom to act, just like you do. The best way to respond to others is to clear your own way ahead by exercising patience and wisdom instead of becoming agitated by others and reacting angrily.
