Positivity ensures success in life
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Feb 2, 2020
Cain and Abel were two brothers. They belonged to the first generation of Adam and Eve. There arose some differences between the two, and Cain finally said to Abel in anger: "I shall kill you!" (5:27). Abel did not react and calmly replied: "If you raise your hand to kill me, I will not raise mine to kill you. I fear God, the Lord of the Universe" (5:28). This incident is not simply an incident that once happened between two brothers. It is a universal principle of sublime character.

The Prayer for Good Health
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian |June 12, 2017
According to a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is said to have remarked: “For whomsoever of you the door of supplication is opened, for him the doors of mercy have been opened. And in God’s eyes praying for good health is dearer to praying for anything else.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, hadith no. 3548).
We must co-exist despite differences
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Dec 22, 2019, p. 10
A pluralistic society is defined as a place where different religious, ethnic and cultural groups live together. But this kind of definition is not correct. The fact is that pluralism is a law of nature. Every society is a plural society, even every family is a plural family.
Only God can make a tree

"Nature works," says Emerson, "on a method of all for each and each for all." This sums up the process at work in the universe. There are innumerable forces in nature functioning with amazing coordination, in complete harmony with one another. The whole corresponds to the part and vice versa.
His mercy masters His wrath
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Dec 1, 2019
Wrath is an attribute of God, and so is mercy. If someone thinks that God created humans in order to make them experience His wrath, this would definitely be an underestimation of God.
It is more correct to say that the reason why God created man was to make him experience His mercy. It is this understanding that is in accordance with God’s glory.
Lessons from nature
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | Nov. 24, 2019
We are a minuscule part of a gigantic universe. We should adopt the same behaviour in our lives as that adopted by all the other components of the Universe. This is the correct natural course, and the secret to our success lies in adopting this course.
