Tolerance is not an act of compulsion. It is a positive principle of life, expressing the noble side of a man’s character. The existence of tolerant human beings in a society is just like the blooming of flowers in a garden.
There is nothing wrong in diversity of opinions. In fact, this is a positive quality that has many advantages. The beauty of the garden of life is enhanced if the flower of unity is accompanied by the thorn of diversity.
A study of the life of the Prophet of Islam tells us that education, which is the arousal of human awareness, is as essential for women as it is for men. Indeed, it is only aware men and women who can conduct the matters of life smoothly.
Peace is a prerequisite for all kinds of human progress. With peace, we progress: without peace, we face ruin. Violence is not the solution to the problems of the world. It only aggravates matters and will never give a solution. The only solution is to live lives on the path of peace.
