3. "O you who believe! Avoid much
suspicion, indeed some suspicions are sins.
And spy not, neither backbite one another.
Would one of you like to eat the flesh of
his dead brother?
You would hate it . And fear GOD. Verily,
GOD is the One Who accepts repentance,
Most Merciful." Quran49:12
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.
Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates
friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that
irritatesandhurts;itisasword thatkills.Buddha
It is ignorance that smothers, and it is carelessness that
makes it invisible. The hunger of craving pollutes the world,
andthepainofsufferingcausesthegreatestfear.Buddha

6. Let us go to Basics
The very Fabric of our Society
Let us Examine if the Great Teachers
of our Religions give us a Clue as to
How to live in a Multicultural Society
Let us examine what we can learn
from the four great Religions
Hinduism- Buddhism- Christianity- Islam
and see how we can adopt
It in our day to day lives:
One early morning some 2010 years ago, when a Rabi
(Jewish Priest)was at the Temple, a group of people
started to say master master we have caught her in the act!
Hedidnotreplyandwas walkingaway.
They persistently followed him and asserted that she must
be punished as per the Book, and therefore she should be
stonedtodeath.
As it appeared that they wanted Justice done as per their
interpretationoftheLaw,
The Rabi bent down and picked a stone and gave it and said
,whoeverissinless maycastthefirst stone.
03

7. Then he immediately went down again and started to write
in the sand.
The crowd who brought the helpless women one by one
peeped over the Rabi's shoulder and quietly walked
away!!! St. John chapter 8 verse 4-8
Why walk away? Perhaps the Rabi whom they called
Master must have written their very names! Implying
that he knew that these men too have committed the
very same crime of adultry.
Lesson: Don't try to take the Law to your own hands,
as it is highly specialized and need to be
applied equitably if justice is to be done.
There could be some members in this crowd who might
have wanted to take revenge from this women or place
the Rabi in an embarrassing position with the law of the
Country-
Yes we are speaking of Jesus Christ (pbuh) as per the
Holy Bible.
note as the situation was tense and needed an equitable
solution the superb mastery of MANAGEMENT.

what he wrote about (only him)
so they UNDERSTOOD and yet
4. Not humiliated by not making
“their character” Public!!!!
Immediate Action Possible:
Always press for Justice, adhere to the Law.
Don't be the Judge. There could always be three
sides to a story.
The aggressor,
The aggrieved,
The Wisdom for Peace and to prevent Creating
mischief in the Land. (Patience of aggrieved reqd.)05

9. Coming to Hinduism: One of the ancient Scriptures The
Bagawad Geetha1:1-2,2:34-37 Gives a detailed account of a
war between Kith and Kin Lord Arjun refuses to battle his
cousins,andpreferstodie.
Lord Krishna advices him to Fight as this is for a just cause

10. Approximately 2550 years ago Lord Buddha made this
Powerfulstatement:
Do notbelieveinanything(simply)
becauseyouhaveheardit.
Do notbelieveinanythingbecauseit
isspokenandrumoredbymany|
Do notbelieveinanythingmerelyonthe
authority of your teachers and elders.
But after observation and analysis when you find that
anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good
and benefit of all then accept it and live up to it.
Buddha (AnguttaraNikayaVol.1, 188-193 P.T.S. Ed.).KalamaSuttra
Lesson: DO NOT ACT UPON RUMOURS.
CheckitsValidty;ActonlyifitisBeneficialtoAll
ImmediateAction Possible: Do not gossip based on what
you hear or read or even what you SEE!!.
I f you can do something resulting in benefit to all,
then investigate,analyzebeforeactionistaken.

11. Lastlyletus lookatIslam
AccordingtothesayingsofProphet:
Faith has over seventy branches , the most excellent of which
is the declaration that there is only one Creator of all that
exists, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is
injurious fromthepath:.Muslimbk1Hadith56:
It means there is an Uncreated (no beginning or end), that
creates Everything. The Uncreated does not visit the
creation but with infinite knowledge, power etc knows
everything including the present past and future of created
things and is beyond ourimagination This is the highest of
faith.

Ordinary Non Muslims.
Authors Note:
Hope you found this little booklet Truthful and informative.
You will wonder why a basic Muslim takes this much of
trouble? The answer is very simple. We want to follow the
Basic Principles of Islam. This can never be done without
understanding the Character and Practices of the Final
Prophet. Read his Last Sermon to Understand better( we are
askedtoinformothersevenifweknowevenonething!).
If you think this information in the Booklet will be useful,
please download and Print at the corner store and
distribute to friends and Family, as it is done in a way to
print easily. You may also go to the website for other articles of

It is not possible to get these details.
THANK YOU ALL good Souls

16. In today's World of Secularism, it is
imperative to seek solutions to problems
through the same rational way of Modern
Governments and Society and where
required look into the Religious Scriptures
of the various Faiths.
Terrorism, Unrest, Mistrust all arise mainly
because we take little action to prevent
Mischief, and Rumours from spreading.
Peace and Progress can only envelope the
World if each Individual, Society, Faith,
Culture, Government take responsibility to
Prevent Mischief in Every Form
Acquiring Knowledge - Good
Informing others - V. Good
Applying it - Excellent
Preventing Mischief - Noble
