Lesson from the Quran and Hadith
Here are ten references from the Quran and Hadith that may be considered universal principles suitable for every man and woman, irrespective of religion and/or culture: Mutual Respect, Reconciliation and Adjustment, Peace, Practical Wisdom, Positive Response, Modesty, Result-oriented Action, Friendly Behaviour, Unilateral Good Character and Universal Brotherhood. They are formulae for life or the art of life management. Tawheed, or the oneness of God, and peace—are the two fundamental principles of Islam. The following verse of the Quran advises us of the correct Islamic Principles in any dealings with enemies— “And who is better in speech than he who invites men to the service of God, and does good works, and says, “I am sure of those who submit”? And good and evil are not alike. Requite evil with good, and he who is your enemy will become your dearest friend.” (41:33-34) It shows that according to the teachings of Islam, our duty is not to annihilate any enemies but to befriend them. According to Islam, everyone is born with a good nature. However, sometimes, people temporarily go against their natural selves and become ‘enemies’. However, if they are treated with unilateral good behaviour, they will return to their original nature. Moreover, past enemies will be transformed into friends of the present.
