38. What should Muslims do when their countries are attacked and they end up fighting for revenge?

Wisdom and Islam both say that planning is done keeping the present in mind, not the past. The Prophet did not think about the Yemeni King who had attacked Makkah in the past and did not plan to avenge the attack. The point is to think about the opportunities that exist today and what can be possibly availed. Our thinking and planning should not be based on what transpired in the past.
