Abstract

What is lacking in our world today? Why are so many parts of the globe experiencing conflict? In my view, there is an absence of love and forgiveness which brings us to our current state. We see it in Europe, the Middle East, and even in Asia. The current conflicts within or amongst nations and people are mostly due to the detachment of our outer self from our inner self. Remember that human beings are all children of Adam, and God in His wisdom created us all differently so that we may learn to harness our sense of love and forgiveness towards each other. The word “love” here refers to a desire for good and for the benefit to come to others (Hamza Yusuf, 2012:19). Admittedly, there exists good and evil in all of us, and when we react to situations using our base instincts (our outer self so to speak), there is always the possibility of evil coming to the fore.
