The fighting scene is just horrible. Somewhere, heads are being cut off. Several bodies are seen with blood all over them. Vultures and hawks swoop low. Carrion-eating animals circle the corpses and scrape them. One's heart aches at the sight of the bloody soldiers. Millions of women become widows. Millions of kids become orphans. Many elderly parents shed bloody tears in grief over the loss of their cherished offspring. The bombing demolishes every structure, including mosques, markets, gathering places, and hospitals. The pandemic begins. Stunning skyscrapers crumble to the ground. The financial markets are chaotic. Life's essentials disappear. The horrors and devastation of war are beyond description. On the other hand, peace is undeniably a gift from God; without it, constructive work is impossible. History has shown that nations only progress in times of peace. Without peace, advancement in the arts and sciences cannot be made. One's heart and mind are meaningless if they are clouded by dread of conflict. His creative abilities are crippled. The level of satisfaction drops. But when there is peace throughout the nation, all kinds of accomplishments and growth are made. Expanded transportation options are available. Training and education are widely disseminated. New highways are constructed. Industry, crafts, and trade are promoted. During a war, all attention is directed toward weaponry. To prepare military supplies, every resource at our disposal is sought after. Factories are also used to manufacture war items. Basic necessities of life are not available. During the reign of Queen Victoria, development and construction would not have taken place in England if there had not been complete peace, happiness, and comfort for all. England was at its height of prosperity at the time. The war against Hitler began immediately, causing incalculable damage to the British Empire. In actuality, Britain lost a big empire and became completely empty as a result of its oppression and inferiority. As the British colonies and territories were gradually ceded, Great Britain's might began to wane. This was the outcome of the war. In a similar vein, most of the progress that Russia made took place during the peacetime rule of Stalin and Lenin. Stalin made his underdeveloped nation great. It is now regarded as one of the two world superpowers. America and Russia are currently the two most powerful countries in the world. Russia achieved incredible strides during the 20 years of peace and serenity it experienced following the First World War, and it was able to overcome Hitler in the Second World War, beating a sophisticated and powerful nation like Germany. The entire world is now aware of its strength and development. Right now, not even a strong government like the United States would dare wage war against it. The history of the United States is more proof that only peace times are conducive to a country's progress. The growth rate of America began with the end of the nineteenth-century civil war and the subsequent era of calm and peace that followed the nation's victory in the War of Independence. The secret of American progress in the 20th century was that it did not engage in any internal conflicts. The two biggest wars in human history were fought thousands of miles away from the United States in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The American people continued on the path of growth with satisfaction after being shielded from the horrors and destruction of the war. It is currently the richest and most powerful country. It has outperformed all other nations in science and the arts. Two and a half million kilometres away, on the moon, American astronauts have travelled. America has invested billions of rupees in the development of rockets and spacecraft. Only in a setting of peace and tranquilly can the problems of the world be handled. Consider the problems of hunger, disease, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, and starvation as an example. These problems can only be handled with the collaboration and unity of the major world powers. It can only happen when there is peace, law, and order. In the event of a conflict, the developed nations will be engulfed in their own confusion and unable to concentrate on the situation of the developing countries. The secret to the well-being of the world is thus peace and tranquillity. Everyone can see the benefits of peace. Who is unaware that the Taj Mahal in Agra, the Red Fort in Delhi, and the Ajanta Alora Caves in Maharashtra are gifts from the period of peace? These distinctive works of architecture and stone carving serve as symbols of peace. In actuality, the world's wonders are the fruits of the toil and labour of the age of peace. We should build commercial links with our neighbours while also leading calm, tranquil lives of our own so that peace can spread throughout all nations and people can live happy lives. For us Indians, fraternity, unity, and tolerance are crucial because our nation is home to people of every religion, nationality, colour, and cultural tradition. What connects us as a nation is not our shared religion, colour, race, culture, or language, but rather our shared brotherhood for one another. The spirit of unity that permeates this nation was not accidentally developed; rather, it has grown over many years in the soil and spirit of this nation. Iman and Islam, which both promote stability and harmony, are two resources Muslims in India can use to win over the hearts of the population despite the fact that they are a minority. According to the Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him), a believer is a person in whose care everyone's lives and property are secure. The Muslim, he said, is the one whose hands and tongues the people are safe from. The message of peace is not only for Muslims; both Muslims and non-Muslims should heed it and help India reach the heights of prosperity and success. ------ Kaniz Fatma is a classic Islamic scholar and a regular columnist for New Age Islam.
