ISLAM is the religion which
teaches to tolerate even to the other religions but around us we can see how
people are furiously bickering each other even though we are Muslims!!! We need
to think and think hard that how can we ease up this tense situation. Right now
our beloved country is facing the worst conditions ever I think. People are
embarrassed by price level, by terrorism and by judicial crises etc. this whole
scenario is creating a chaos situation which made people mentally upset and I
think this is the reason that why we can’t find tolerance in our society now a
days. No doubt we can find pure mental harmony and serenity by following the
teachings of Holy Quran and Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
To put it in very simple terms, tolerance means to tolerate or put up with
differences. It means to accept and showing respect for the race, religion, age,
gender, opinions, and ideologies of other people or groups. Tolerance means
different things to different people. It is when something is disagreeable that
tolerance is expected, and in more politically correct cultures, demanded.
Tolerance can be shown in many ways. A person might fully disagree with others
on any issue from religion to cloning, while at the same time respecting those
with different opinions and treating them with dignity and respect. Disagreement
alone does not equal intolerance.
One problem is the fact that tolerance is sometimes one-sided. Those who
disagree with a particular issue must respect the opinions of those who advocate
it, but some advocates feel justified in labeling and taunting those who
disagree with hateful terms, and vice versa. Come on guys we should have the
courage to accept the opinions of other people. As it usually happens in
Pakistan that people on both sides of an issue tries to impose things on the
other side of the people and sometimes they end up even with their clothes
shattered into pieces!!! And yet we call ourselves a “Civilized Nation”. We must
be tolerant of each other, in order to make other countries or nations to
respect us and treat us as an Independent Civilized Nation. We have to prove
ourselves to get the respect of others as it happens every where in this world.
Lets take up with today’s very hot matter i.e. Denmark issue as it seems like
they are trying to heat up the feelings of the Muslims of the world to make them
do something silly. But we Muslims should take adequate and sensible steps
against them but in a very reasonable and strong way. Tolerance doest not means
to allow anyone to make fun or hurt you but one should respond in a way that it
looks sensible. Breaking our own signals, mirrors and shutter down is not the
solution of this problem. I wonder when we are going to understand this.
Pakistani people are very intelligent there is no doubt about this but all we
need is Tolerance. Our Muslim brothers can make movies but not against any
religion but mostly in favour of ISLAM, describing the teachings of ISLAM and
our Beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhamamd (PBUH). We can organize seminars in this
respect, peaceful walks etc.
At the conclusion I would like to make a request to all my brothers and sisters
to please be calm and peaceful. Try to be cool while listen the opinions of
others. Show respect to others and I can assure you a real calm peaceful
society. INSHALLAH. LONG LIVE PAKISTAN!
