A Poem send by sister Yusra Hassan.
MY NAME: YUSRA HASSAN DATE: 29\8\2K TITLE OF MY POEM: NATURE I heard the whoosh of the slowly, Swirling and rolling waves. I saw the foaming, And the white-capped sea. The air whistled by, Rustling the autumn leaves. It carressed my face, Spreading unconcious smiles. The trees in the distance, Couldn't resist as they danced. And swayed and sang with whispers, To the utter delight of the gusts. The drizzle beat down, Muddy paths here and there. Refreshing as it was, No replacements could be made. The grainy-sand was, A soft carpet beneath my feet. Trailing my fingers though it, I realized its beauty. Eyes riveted to the shore, I saw the glittery shell. Lifting it, I noticed, Its natural and accurate carvings. As the sun lowered into the Pacific, Brushing it with its rays. I climbed higher and higher, And onto the cliff. A breath-taking sight it was, When looking down. At the ocean lashing its anger, On the wet rocky sides. Ah! the nature! It couldn't have been better. Made out of God's Hand, It truly is glamarous! MY NAME: YUSRA HASSAN DATE: 29\8\2K TITLE OF THIS POEM: FAITHFULNESS FOR MY COUNTRY Oh! You who serve it, Serve well and keep it alive. Oh! You who love it, Keep loving and strenghthen it. Oh! You who support it, Hold it and let it be strong. Oh! You who care for it, Give it tenderness like a mother. I give my sincerest wishes, Never forgetting my undying love for it. ____________________(end)

The EDITOR:Anyone knew what exactly happened to the good old days when things were not that rough and tough as it is today? And even so where are those the polite and gentle Muslims that we seen many, many years ago in many parts of our society, where have they all gone!
There should have been a leaping progress in most Muslims' countries, and let's allpray for that achievements, no matter what the color or race or what country we live in. If only Muslims could get together for that one purpose to help, and assist each other the world would be a better place for our children. Let's start praying salatul hajjat and a doa to seek Allah's assistance, especially so at this time when such things just seem to go wrong, and all that is because of our indifferences and ........
*Do recite the Name of Allah, Ya Allah for 300 times day and night.Insha-Allah all that we seek for from Allah of this world and the Hereafter would soon be granted.Ma'asalama
*Have we ever been in a sad position whereby everything just seem to be against us. That even your friends,or family members are not there for the help.And that on every corner and every day there seem to be an increase in those agaist you then those that are with you? It is as if, there are no hope, as if there is none that wish to be with you.Just think!How did the Holy Prophet first felt the same feeling, that same thing we are now, we are encountaring from every corner.
*If you have Islamic articles, do send to me to be added into the Muslims Regional News.Insha-Allahu Ta'ala.And Ma'asalama.Let us pray and doa to seek Allah's help and assistance for our family, for our Muslim brothers and help the unfortunate anywhere in the world.*I have a good idea of setting up the North America Regional News/North America......Anyone there in the States or Canada willing to take this program? Do write for suggestions and feedback.

If you ever eat out here you will find it to the the finest, tastiest dish.The Malay food like Nasi Lemak, Lontong are among the favorites.Try the Nasi Lemak for yourself.

The Indian Muslims Contributions to Southeast Asia:
The many chapters of the countries in Southeast Asia especially so in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, southern Thailand and some parts in Indonesia have witnessed the various, great contributions by Indian Muslims, and their landmarks for these are to remain today as it was 500 years ago.There are three definite patterns of contribution or the clear remnants that changes the country as a whole.Firstly, on the cultural,custom and social intergrations; secondly the
mosques the very backbone of a country and thirdly the most commonly known as the food we eat.
Long before India achieved her independence, no, in fact two centuries before thatIndian Muslims have already established their trading partners into Southeast Asia.Many have made their significant and important contributions and a magnificent understanding was also established. The one like a big welcoming family members of a sort.
And Trade flourished, and what a flourishinmg trade it is!Large business enterprise were established one after another.Even Admiral Cheng Ho, the Viceroy of China must have been shocked to witness the vast trades and the variety of traders in Malacca, of which among them was Indian Muslims.
Mosques built by the early Muslim pioneers from India are numerous to put in numbers...that came to be more than a hundred thousands of mosques all around the region.What a great feat of Contributions! I could not but ask Allah to bless on them the blessing of the Hereafter. (to be continued)

A simple story to start the day...but so inspiring.
************************************************************
Power of Words !!
A group of frogs were travelling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and suffering and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him, "Why did you continue jumping? Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging
word to
someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through
the
day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words ... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another. Be special to others.

Hindha, Abu Sufyan's wife who had bitter hatred for the holy Prophet
went to
such extreme end of showing her hatred towards Muslims that in the
battle of
Ohed, she tore out the liver from the dead body of the holy Prophet's
beloved uncle Hamzah and chewed it publicly. When the holy Prophet saw
the
mutilated and disfigured condition of his uncle and confidant's dead
body,
tears trickled down from his eyes.
It would seem that the norms of the 'Geneva Convention' relating to
wartime
conduct of soldiers were conceived by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him)
1,400 years ago. The subsequent history of Islam, even after the death
of
the holy Prophet, is the witness that his followers had been all along
considerate and merciful towards their enemies.

That the Modern Law, and especially the West in my own research are actually the by-products of Islamic portion of Law(civil law, criminal law etc.)This I gathered in the long History of the West, namely to
the years way back when Europe was at that period of the Dark Age. The Universities in Islamic-Spain at that time were frequented and pupils from all over Europe came to study everything about Islam, from its
Scientifics to Shariah law.
It was at this period that the introduction of law was introduced to Great Britain and the rest of Europe, as it was necessary for the court of Law to be established by their Kings; part of the necessity was to have a Law that resemble the Islamic court of Law.As necessity is the mother of invention.
What we see today in the West is actually the very ingredients of the basic concept that they are using.That is the basic Law of the West is the by-products of the portion if not half of it of the Islamic court of Law. More studies are needed to further elaborate this. but as of at this time I do
not have the fields nor the period to do more
research, I do hope someone else, namely from the West especially Muslims in Great Britain would.
And one more thing is that Napolean did brought back to France and introduced the portion of Law from his journey to Egypt, the root of Islamic Jurisdiction.
Some of which are functioning till this very
day.And that too goes to the Law in the West that Islamic Spain Islam has introduce to the West, being copied, and manifested into the very basic function of the Western law and Democracy.And so the contribution of
Islamic Culture to the modern world is rather very unique....small but very universal.Through it came the various aspects of man's prosperity, and the peace and harmony that carried the wealth of the world to this very day.More research are needed as at this time. I hope someone would do
that.This could be a one interesting study, debate by everyone, including Muslim Religious Scolars, Imams and I hope so.
Western Law:the products of Islamic Court of Law.
(part 2)
What matters most was the implementation of its adaptation --the viable influences of the Islamic court and from a brief description I gathered from the book "The English Legal System" by Gary Slapper and
David Kelly on account of the earliest law established as (but this is refutable later on in my examples):
My explaination to this contraversial arguament is that ny the simple fact that the period, age and distance of that ancient Rome was more than a thousand years, but it is accounatably near with that of Islamic Spain in its close-proximity.
"Prior to the Norman conquets of England in 1066, there was no united national legal system..."
And here is the point I would like to raise: that the church would not accept that which is in part attached to anything of ancient Rome as they were polytheistic and a well known adversery to the early Christians....
"Common law...represents the imposition of such a unitary system under the auspices and control of a centralised power in the form of a sovereign".
This comes under the review of the establishment of King's Court in England much like the Islamic Spain having the King's court for every account etc.
In other words, judges preside over trials to settle controversies that one brought before them: a judge renders judgement, juries....verdict.
It all add up to my view as to the topic:
I have here part of the great,past writers around the world regarding the topic, hoping we could recollect and to proof on my arguments.I will write more details later on to continue on this debate.And so Muslim
Spain appears and to bloom fo centuries in flowery
detachments here and there, then disappeared
forever...leaving behind a legacy, a legitimate one.

His book on jurisprudence 'Bidayat al-Mujtahid wa-Nihayat-al-Muqtasid' has been held by Ibn Jafar Zahabi as possibly the best book on the Maliki School of Fiqh. Ibn Rushd's writings were translated into various languages, including Latin, English, German and Hebrew. Most of his commentaries on philosophy are preserved in the Hebrew translations, or in Latin translations from the Hebrew, and a few in the original Arabic. His commentary on zoology is entirely lost. Ibn Rushd also wrote commentaries on
Plato's Republic, Galen's treatise on fevers, al-Farabi's logic, and many others. Eighty-seven of his books are still extant.
Ibn Rushd has been held as one of the greatest thinkers and scientists of the twelfth century. According to Philip Hitti, Ibn Rushd influenced Western thought from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. His commentaries were
used as standard texts in preference to the treatises of Aristotle in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. His books were included in the syllabi of Paris and other Western universities till the advent of modern
experimental sciences. Ibn Rusd was studied in the University of Mexico
until 1831.

Father and son fight over food, over a piece of bread like dogs. One father
whose 20 year old son stole his bread from under his pillow while he slept,
went to deep depression, asking over and over again how his son could do
such a thing. The next day the father died because of starvation and
depression. "I mean the people are going backward and backward. In some
villages, you come across children -- I'm sorry to use this word, they're
acting like animals. They want food. That's it. That's all their life is.
The search for food."
"I feel cold, all the time," says the woman in the next tent, whose name is
Gul Maida, who came here four months ago, and gave birth to twins in the
tent three months ago, and is feeding them spoonfuls of dirty water because
she is too weak to produce milk. One is wrapped in a green cloth, the other
in brown. "I haven't named them yet," she says.

In order to understand this heroic phenomenon, we should look into the
life
of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as divided into two distinct
periods. The one that relates to his life spent in Makkah and the other
during which he took refuge in Madinah.
In the former period of his
life he
was weak and helpless. Yet impelled by the demands of his prophetic
mission,
he propagated Islam against very severe and hostile treatment meted to
him.
He was subjected to all sorts of persecution.
Emboldened by his helpless contentions his enemies went to the extent
of
strewing thorns in his way, threw dirty and filthy things, pelted him
with
stones and tried to strangle him to death. They ostracised and confined
him
with his kith and kin for three long years in a ravine into which they
allowed no supplies of the means of subsistence. Such was the sadistic
level
to which they had descended themselves that he had to leave Makkah and
migrated to Madinah.
In Madinah matters took a different shape of things. The holy Prophet
was
received by Madinians with open heart and arms which has resulted in
adding
a good number of converts into the fold of Islam. The success of his
mission
of Islamisation of the society ultimately resulted into the triumphant
entry
of the holy Prophet into Makkah and gave him absolute authority and
complete
control over the lives of the people of Makkah, who had treated him
ruthlessly before migration.
The atrocities and inhuman behaviour with which the holy Prophet was
subjected to, sent a chill down the spines of his tormentors in Makkah,
but
they were stunned when the holy Prophet forgave his arch-rival and the
chief
architect of his miseries, Abu Sufyan. Not only that, the holy Prophet
proclaimed that whoever entered Abu Sufyan's house for refuge was also
safe.
Meanwhile, Hindah was distraught at the fall of Makkah. She went into
hiding
and veiled herself completely before surrendering to the holy Prophet
and
professing acceptance of Islam. Her identity was, however, discovered.
Yet
the holy Prophet of Islam did not hesitate in forgiving her. The effect
ofhis generosity was so immense that Hindah exclaimed: "O Muhammad!
Hitherto
your tent was the most hateful to me, but it is dearest to me today."
The
days, following the fall of Makkah to Muslims fold, were very critical.
There was a general atmosphere of dismay and fear among the people of
Makkah
owing to the guilt in their conscience. On the one hand was their
seemingly
unyielding pride and later the critical situation arising from their
miserable plight due to the glorious victory of Muslims.
The holy Prophet stood like a pillar of peace for them.
Unlike the traditional conquerors who chose to let loose a reign of
terror
against their conquered foes, expose them to shame, dishonour and every
conceivable form of cruelty and put them through physical torture
without
any regard to age and sex, the holy Prophet ordered to his disciplined
and
loyal followers in arms that none should be dishonoured, no property
should
be touched and no blood should be shed. Then came to him in succession
the
notables and former nobles of Makkah, who distinguished themselves by
the
enormity of their crimes and all of them, in return, were pleasantly
surprised to get kindness - clemency and mercy at the hands of the
distinguished 'victor', the holy Prophet.
All of them were inveterate enemies of the holy Prophet whose aim was
to nip
Islam in the bud, who were chiefly responsible for all the aggressions
against Muslims, and who now stood helpless, buried under the guilt of
their
own conscience, with their heads bowed in shame. The holy Prophet
graciously
pardoned all of them.
Vengeance leads to revenge and unending feud and bitterness, which in
turn
hamper the development of civil society, while forgetting and forgiving
follies, highhandedness and injustices of opponents eliminate enmities
and
grudges, producing the tranquillity and harmony so essential for peace
and
prosperity. Hatred begets hatred while love creates and enhances love
at the
universal level.
Therefore, as individuals we must learn the virtue of forgiveness at a
personal level which automatically ascends to the social and national
levels. For, great are the virtues of forgiveness. - KT (7/9/2001).

THE OPEN LETTER
IF you have NEWS to tell it could be printed at this SECTION to the public!Western Law:the product of Islamic court of Law.
Assalamu alaikum,
If I were to add in to my own personal research it would take almost a year to have this article completed. What I have gathered from almost all of my research so far, gathered knowledge from Law books, magazines etc...I am presenting here a rather short
article that I hope everyone would view its
significance.
"...civil law refers to those other jurisdiction which have adopted the European continental system of law derived essentially from ancient Roman Law, but very
much the Germanic tradition".
Even if the contravery was correct, that the early civil law established was of ancient Roamn law, the adaptation of later period of the law must have been greatly influnces by structure, study of the Islamic court of Law.
And also "Norman were French in language, viewpoint and culture. Their system of Law was bound on the ancient Roman Civil Law. Norman retained the English Common Law of unwritten custom, except that church
courts were introduced with authority..."
"...a national system of law from Anglo-Saxon, Norman....by the 12th. century there were judges..."
(1)Implementation of new additional law has to be added.
(2)Complex in its law structure, as population
increases and so were crimes.And all other
necessities.
(3)Branches of Law to suit the purpose of the period, that if the close proximity of Islamic culture and the Islamic Spain provides for them easy access and study.
My studies have shown that with each period from Medieval Time that the Legal System practised since then would be much more in favor and greatly influenced by the Islamic court of law.
"The Islamic teachings have left great traditions for equitable and gentle dealings and behavior, and inspire people with nobility and tolerance. These are human teachings of the highest order and at the same time practicable.
These teachings brought into existence a society in which hard-heartedness and collective oppression and injustice were the least as compared with all other societies preceding it....Islam is replete with gentleness, courtesy, and fraternity."
"During all the first part of the Middle Ages, no other people made as important a contribution to human progress as did the Arabs, if we take this term to mean all those whose mother-tongue was Arabic, and not merely those living in the Arabian peninsula. For centuries, Arabic was the language of learning, culture and intellectual progress for the whole of the civilized
world with the exception of the Far East. From the IXth to the XIIth century there were more philosophical, medical, historical, religiuos, astronomical and geographical works written in Arabic than in any other human tongue."
"We have never heard about any attempt to compel
Non-Muslim parties to adopt Islam or about any organized persecution aiming at exterminating
Christianity. If the Caliphs had chosen one of these plans, they would have wiped out Christianity as easily as what happened to
Islam during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain; by the same method which Louis XIV
followed to make Protestantism a creed whose
followers were to be sentenced to death; or with the same ease of keeping the Jews away from Britain for a period of three hundred fifty years."
�Khalif (Caliph) Al-Ma'mun's period of rule (813 - 833 C.E.) may be considered the 'golden age' of science and learning.
He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits.�
�By Mamun's time medical schools were extremely
active in Baghdad. The first free public hospital was opened in Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-Rashid. As the system developed, physicians and surgeons were
appointed who gave lectures to medical students and issued diplomas to those who were considered qualified to practice. The first hospital in Egypt was opened in 872 AD and thereafter public hospitals sprang up all over the empire from Spain and the Maghrib to Persia.�
Ibn Rushd wrote many books on the question of theology, where he tried to
use his knowledge of philosophy and logic. It is not surprising then that his works greatly influenced European religious scholarship, though Averroes is innocent of many views of Western so-called Averroism. Professor Bammate in his booklet "Muslim Contribution to Civilization" quotes Renan: St. Thomas Aquinas was "the first disciple of the Grand Commentator (i.e.,
Averroes). Albert Alagnus owes everything to Avicenna, St. Thomas owes practically everything to Averroes." Professor Bammate continues: "The
Reverend Father Asin Palacios, who has carried out intensive studies of the theological Averroism of St. Thomas and, in no way classifies Averroes with Latin Averroists, takes several texts of the Cordovan philosopher and compares them with the Angelic Doctor of (St. Thomas). The similarity in their thought is confirmed by the use of expressions similar to that of Ibn
Rushd. It leaves no room for any doubt about the decisive influence that the Muslim Philosopher (Averroes) had on the greatest of all Catholic
theologians.
Introduction.
"For nearly eight centuries, under the Mohamedan
rule, Spain set all Europe
a shining example of a civilized and enlightened
state. Her fertile
provinces rendered doubly prolific, by the
industrious engineering skill of
the conquerors bore fruit a hundredfold, cities
innumerable sprang up in the
rich valleys in the Guadalquivir and the Guadiana
whose names, and names
only commemorate the vanished glories of their past.
"...To Cordoba belong all the beauty and ornaments
that delight the eye or
dazzle the sight. Her long line of Sultans form her
crown of glory; her
necklace is strung with the pearls which her poets
have gathered from the
ocean of language; her dress is of the banners of
learning, well-knit
together by her men of science; and the masters of
every art and industry
are the hem of her garments.
"It was the Arabs who for the first time invented
the method of chemical
preparation of medicines, and it was from this
source that sound advice and
the procedure of experiments came to us, which were
taken up by the School
of Saliram and from there after a long time spread
to southern Europe. The
medicine and the natural elements on which
medication entirely depends
became the cause of study of plants' Chemistry. In
this way both these
studies went on simultaneously in two different ways
and thus the door on a
new era of the study of this science was opened by
the Arabs. Suffice it for
the proof of the vast Arab knowledge of the plant
kingdom that they made
addition of two thousand herbs to those of
Zulefuredas. There were many
herbs in their pharmacy that the Greeks had not even
dreamt of."
"During the middle ages, the Arabs alone were the
standard-bearers of a
civilisation."
"When the Arabs gained expertise in Astronomy, they
paid special attention
to Mathematical sciences and gained a high degree of
excellence and they
were really our teachers in this field....When we
take stock of all that got
transferred from Arabic to Latin, we find that a
great doorway was made in
the name of Gerbert Sylvester II, through which
during the period between
970-980 AD, all those sciences he had acquired in
Andalusia had entered
Europe."

WEDNESDAY.(9.4)
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST
GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL
Alhamdulilah most of us never have to worry about where we will get our
next meal or how we will keep our children warm for another night.......
Many of our worries are not remotely comparable to the millions of other
muslims across the globe....
But how many of us thank Allah for providing comfort in our lives while
thousands of others suffer and perish each and every hour...each and every
day....... ??
Too many of us take the mercy and gifts of Allah (SWT) for granted....
Think about it.....
Anyone of us could have been a sufferer in those death camps...
Anyone of us could be one of those fathers struggling to feed his family...
Or a mother in pain everytime she looks at her dying child....
Most of us are so absorbed in the temporary pleasures of this duniyah that
we often forget to stop and think.....
Thank Allah for choosing us to bless with easy, comfortable lives...
Choosing ME and YOU out of millions and millions of other people...
So how do we repay Allah?......
"...and they rejoice in this world's life; and this world is nothing
compared with the Hereafter but a temporary enjoyment." Holy Quran 13:26

Beware
Brothers & Sisters in Islam
Assalaam o alaycum
Please beware of the internet danger which is growing day by day.
There is lot of fitna & fassad on the net.
Never take any Islamic info. from unknown sources.
Always refer to elders & scholars for clarification & confirmation.
Do not believe on internet Islamic knowledge blindly.
There are well organized, very much active Qadyanees (followers of mirza ghulam ahmed the liar), non-believers (mulhid), munkir-e-ahadith, zindeeq (who adds or changes in the deen) & Biddatti firqas who are spreading uncertainty, chaos & doubts among muslims. They are injecting their evil thoughts slowly and sugar-coated so that innocent muslims fall into their trap.
People are talking bad about scholars, denying rules & regulations of Islam & creating rifts among muslims on the basis of language, race & country.
Keep your eyes open & ask refuge of Allah for the safeguard.
Donot indulge in arguments with them, do not follow what you never heard of deen or that sounds strange.
Allah humma hafiza minhum

In order to understand this heroic phenomenon, we should look into the
life
of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as divided into two distinct
periods. The one that relates to his life spent in Makkah and the other
during which he took refuge in Madinah.
In the former period of his
life he
was weak and helpless. Yet impelled by the demands of his prophetic
mission,
he propagated Islam against very severe and hostile treatment meted to
him.
He was subjected to all sorts of persecution.
Emboldened by his helpless contentions his enemies went to the extent
of
strewing thorns in his way, threw dirty and filthy things, pelted him
with
stones and tried to strangle him to death. They ostracised and confined
him
with his kith and kin for three long years in a ravine into which they
allowed no supplies of the means of subsistence. Such was the sadistic
level
to which they had descended themselves that he had to leave Makkah and
migrated to Madinah.
In Madinah matters took a different shape of things. The holy Prophet
was
received by Madinians with open heart and arms which has resulted in
adding
a good number of converts into the fold of Islam. The success of his
mission
of Islamisation of the society ultimately resulted into the triumphant
entry
of the holy Prophet into Makkah and gave him absolute authority and
complete
control over the lives of the people of Makkah, who had treated him
ruthlessly before migration.
The atrocities and inhuman behaviour with which the holy Prophet was
subjected to, sent a chill down the spines of his tormentors in Makkah,
but
they were stunned when the holy Prophet forgave his arch-rival and the
chief
architect of his miseries, Abu Sufyan. Not only that, the holy Prophet
proclaimed that whoever entered Abu Sufyan's house for refuge was also
safe.
Meanwhile, Hindah was distraught at the fall of Makkah. She went into
hiding
and veiled herself completely before surrendering to the holy Prophet
and
professing acceptance of Islam. Her identity was, however, discovered.
Yet
the holy Prophet of Islam did not hesitate in forgiving her. The effect
ofhis generosity was so immense that Hindah exclaimed: "O Muhammad!
Hitherto
your tent was the most hateful to me, but it is dearest to me today."
The
days, following the fall of Makkah to Muslims fold, were very critical.
There was a general atmosphere of dismay and fear among the people of
Makkah
owing to the guilt in their conscience. On the one hand was their
seemingly
unyielding pride and later the critical situation arising from their
miserable plight due to the glorious victory of Muslims.
The holy Prophet stood like a pillar of peace for them.
Unlike the traditional conquerors who chose to let loose a reign of
terror
against their conquered foes, expose them to shame, dishonour and every
conceivable form of cruelty and put them through physical torture
without
any regard to age and sex, the holy Prophet ordered to his disciplined
and
loyal followers in arms that none should be dishonoured, no property
should
be touched and no blood should be shed. Then came to him in succession
the
notables and former nobles of Makkah, who distinguished themselves by
the
enormity of their crimes and all of them, in return, were pleasantly
surprised to get kindness - clemency and mercy at the hands of the
distinguished 'victor', the holy Prophet.
All of them were inveterate enemies of the holy Prophet whose aim was
to nip
Islam in the bud, who were chiefly responsible for all the aggressions
against Muslims, and who now stood helpless, buried under the guilt of
their
own conscience, with their heads bowed in shame. The holy Prophet
graciously
pardoned all of them.
Vengeance leads to revenge and unending feud and bitterness, which in
turn
hamper the development of civil society, while forgetting and forgiving
follies, highhandedness and injustices of opponents eliminate enmities
and
grudges, producing the tranquillity and harmony so essential for peace
and
prosperity. Hatred begets hatred while love creates and enhances love
at the
universal level.
Therefore, as individuals we must learn the virtue of forgiveness at a
personal level which automatically ascends to the social and national
levels. For, great are the virtues of forgiveness. - KT (7/9/2001).
