However according to the Shari’ah of the Qur’an, in the case of unjust murder the state (not and individual) can implement qisas. This then results in one of the relatives of the murderer to kill the second murderer and the ball rolls on forever or for a long time. This is certainly against any moral values. Accordingly when one kills another person, one of his relatives takes revenge and kills the murderer. That ‘eye for an eye’ principle that leaves the whole world blind is on the basis of individually ministered acts of revenge. Gandhi has said and the rule of Qisas in the Qur’an are two different things. Gandhi and consider him to be a role model in many ways. Do you have any strong reason and logic to deny Gandhi this statement or logic? Gandhi "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" on Islamic justice system as Holy Quran also mention this. To find the strength in yourself and to create the change you need to approach “the other” with love and compassion, please consider taking The Process.What will you say to the criticism of Mr. From that point of strength, we can change the world. Instead of “an eye for an eye…” let’s approach hate with love, bigotry with acceptance, violence with compassion. If we are obstructionist, we are left with no viable policies of any kind. If we work against, then we are left with violence on both sides. To create change, we must work toward the attitudes and policies that we want.

Political change will not happen by fighting or by obstructing those whose views are different from ours. If we want to drive out violence, hate, or bigotry of all kinds, we must do it with love. It is not possible to create lasting change for the better with disruption, with violence or hate. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that.”

“ Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. You may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate, nor establish love. “You may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Now, during the beginning of the Trump administration, the Democrats are trying to block everything they can, in particular Trump’s cabinet appointees, and his first executive orders.

I do want to talk about how to create the change you want.ĭuring the Obama administration, the Republicans blocked everything they could, including a Supreme Court nominee. I don’t want to take a political stand in this blog. In these contentious, divisive political times, it is incumbent upon us all to examine our beliefs about how to effect change.
