Shema Abdul Wahid
Well, being one of the residents of such a society where I have observed and experienced that people from different religions are extremely busy in passing complements and showing superiority on the religion,but let me bring all of you in point that we (Human) are the creatures of only one Creator and we are not given the rights to blame others for their religion because everyone worship Allah ,the Almighty in their own way , though the way of worshipping is different,but they are doing their best to follow Islam. However, everyone, from different religions, wants the world to be a peaceful place where there shouldn’t be any kinds of unequal treatment.By following Allah’s way,we can live a prosperous life ,but dishearteningly,the circumstances of this world made it a tinderbox,a place of backering and war.These conditions brought differences between communities and families which often lead them towards fighting.The bloody situation of history shows that millions of people have lost their lives and countless properties were damaged. In order to make it peaceful,all of these conflicts must be eradicated from the roots.In Islam,it is mentioned that ” believers always considered themselves brothers”. So ,fear from our Creator that you may receive mercy. Furthermore, Islam never allows Muslims to live in hate and rancour rather it wishes them to find the major cause of these evils and eliminate them from the roots. Usually wealth and power are main reasons behind the unequalities between communities and Islam wants the world to be conflict-free because these materials have no value in the eyes of Allah. In order to be successful in conflict resolution,the first essential step is to listen everyone carefully and try to control misbehaving because when conflict is mismanaged then it can cause great demage to the relationship,but when it is handled respectfully then it provides a chance to strengthen the bond. Each of them has an unique point of view and therefore they should agree to disagree,but not let conflict become the part of their psyches. So, all of us should give everyone an opportunity to speak,but not be judgemental. To conclude,this world is full of people who are of varied types. They differ from culture and interpretation of faith,but all them accept the “Shahada” and consider “Islam” as their faith. They practice it according to their culture context.All of them seek blessings and pray to Him in order to move towards a right direction.So, never finger out someone and never throw critics on their religions because respect for each other thoughts is best way to avoid conflict.Thus ,Islam wants everyone to live in peace and harmony.
