FORMULA FOR COEXISTENCE

views. That is when you should follow this formula: for you, your way of thinking, and for me, mine. Difference is a part of life, everyone has a different mindset, everyone sees things from a different angle, and everyone has different tastes. It is impossible to bring about uniformity among people. Trying to establish uniformity is like trying to make the impossible possible. In such a situation, adopting the formula, ‘Live and let live’, which is based on a practical principle, is the only sensible solution. When the Quran advises, ‘Ignore them politely’ means deal with them in a positive manner. If the questions put to you are of a contentious nature, respond to them in an indirect way or simply change the subject. To change the subject is also a polite way of answering. This kind of answer shows maturity and a disciplined mind. Moreover, it is the sign of a strong personality. o Practise the art of doing what is possible and leaving aside what is impossible. This is a sign of maturity. WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FEEDBACK Dear Readers, Spirit of Islam team believes in the involvement of readers to enhance the quality of the magazine.
