Agra | Khateeb-e-Juma of Masjid Nehar Wali Sikandra, Muhammad Iqbal informed the people, in the Sermon, before Friday Namaz, about the ‘reaction’. He said that have we ever tried to know about the reaction, what Islam says about it ? And must there be a reaction to an action? Khateeb first told about a verse of the Quran, in Surah number 41, Ayat number 34, Allah Almighty says– “Good and evil are not equal, you say in reply which is better than this, then you will see that you and the one who had enmity became like a close friend.” This is an important thing for us to understand. Reaction comes into existence only against the action of any oppression and injustice. According to the Ayat of Quran which was just read before you, Islam is taking the ‘initiative’ to end the reaction. Because oppression and cruelty cannot be ended by retaliatory oppression. There is only one way to do this, that is you should unilaterally stop taking action of oppression and cruelty. You unilaterally adopt silence. Adopt a peaceful approach. Its result will come only according to the Quran. In-Sha-Allah. He emphatically said that this is not an easy task; he is brave who leaves the act of reaction for the sake of Allah. If we follow this way of Islam then Allah’s help will also be with us and everyone will feel the change in the society. According to the actions of a believer, decisions come from the ‘heavens’ and those decisions are beneficial for all the humans as well as animals in the world. So we have to end the reaction of action and create an environment of peace and tranquility and give a beautiful message to the world. May Allah grant us all this. Aameen.
Allah does not like the reaction of every action – Muhammad Iqbal
