Give positive response to a situation. Assess the situation dispassionately. Plan your action with
an objective mind.
Conspiracy is a phenomenon of competition and not a phenomenon of enmity. In this world of competition, everyone is practically a ‘conspirator’. Others are engaged in conspiracies against you and you also are engaged in conspiracies against others, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. Conspiracy is not a monopoly of others. No one in this world is free from this practice. There is only one place that is free from conspiracy or bad design and that is the graveyard.
So, take it easy. Don’t waste your time in complaint and protest. Give positive response to a situation. Assess the situation dispassionately. Plan your action with an objective mind.
By applying wisdom, manage your emotions. Face the situation with a normal mind. Try to win over your self and you will be able to win the whole world of conspiracy and enmity.
The secret of success and failure both can be summed up in these words: the result of negative response is failure, and the result of positive response is success.
The Best Way of Settlement
The Quran points out that the whole material world is a world of peace. Stars are constantly moving, but there is no clash whatsoever between them. According to the Quranic scheme, the same world culture is required of mankind also. In the chapter Al-Nisa’ (Women) the Quran gives guidelines on this subject. The translation of the relevant verse is as follows:
original + quoteOriginal text with a quotation or mention inside it
If a woman fears ill-treatment or indifference on the part of her husband, it shall be no offence for her to seek a reconciliation, for reconciliation is best. But people are prone to selfish greed. If you do good and fear Him, surely God is aware of what you do. (4:128)
Qur'anQuotes the Qur'an
Here, the Quran enjoins us to adopt the policy of reconciliation in controversial matters. The immediate context of this verse is the resolution of husband-wife differences, but the Quran, by giving a particular reference, gives a general direction. The policy of reconciliation is not only effective for problems between husband and wife, but is equally useful for all other problems, both national and international.
