Tolerance: A noble virtue

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | SOULVEDA

Tolerance is a noble humanitarian virtue. Its practice means making concessions to others. Intolerance, on the other hand, means showing a self-centred unconcern for the needs of others. Tolerance is a worthy, humane virtue, which has been described in different terms in Islam. For instance, gentle behaviour, showing concern for others, being soft-hearted and being compassionate.

A shaft of light

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | SOULVEDA

The owner of a transport business once found himself in a weak and vulnerable position because, for technical reasons, he had once had one of his vehicles registered in the name of another person.

Several years passed, and that person still held its license. The licence-holder decided one fine day that he would take possession of the vehicle himself, and that its real owner would have to make do with a paltry sum of money in exchange.
