A peaceful course of action is not just one of the possibilities. It is the only feasible and result-oriented option. Overcoming the enemy by power is half a victory; whereas overcoming the enemy by love is a complete victory. Violence and peace both have wide connotations. Violence includes everything from hatred to war. Peace includes everything from tolerance to love. Both violence and peace are the results of human thinking. A peaceful person is one whose inner self is so deeply immersed in peace that no outward event can disturb his emotional balance. He takes pity on those who are easily angered. Where ordinary people become provoked, he remains blissfully serene. o The Quran is a book of God, enshrining the wisdom of nature. A source of divine secrets, it has to be rediscovered every day.
