1. How can we create synergy between young and older adults nowadays?
There is a need to focus on better coordination between the youth and the elderly. We have to focus on sharing the treasures of life. The emphasis should be on dreaming together and removing conflict between generations. Many problems arise due to a lack of proper coordination in life.
I often refer to the words of the prophet Joel about the coming together of young and old. The youth, as the prophets of the future, cherish their history. The elders, who continue to dream and share their experiences with the youth, do not stand in their way. Young and old are a treasure trove of tradition and a freshness of spirit. ' Pay attention to the care and protection of the grandparents, as they have fulfilled their responsibility. Let us protect them so that their lives are safe and their dreams are not lost anywhere.
2 Why is there an emphasis on contemplation in Islam?
Islam exhorts human beings to reflect on the creation and the things in it and recognize its creator. In many places in the Qur'an, human beings have been inspired to think and contemplate. The Qur'an says - Those who stand, sit and lie on their sides remember God and think about the creation of the heavens and the earth. They cry out, 'Our Lord! You have not made all this in vain.
You are great, so save us from the torment of fire. ' (3: 191). The Qur'an encourages humans to consider the beginning of creation - 'Walk on the earth - turn and see how God has started this creation. ' (Qur'an-29: 20) The Qur'an further says - 'Among His signs are the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your speeches and your colors. ' (Qur'an-29: 20) The Qur'an says to those who do not contemplate, the worst animals in the eyes of God are the deaf and dumb people who do not act with intelligence. (8:22) It is in the Qur'an that one who contemplates on the creation and its things attains nearness to God - 'The more you know, the closer you will grow to God.
3. How does the environment affect our interests?
To protect and conserve the natural environment, people must understand that the environment directly affects their own interests. It has to be understood that if you are concerned for the welfare of others, sharing and helping others, it will ultimately be your benefit. If you think only of yourself and neglect the interests of others, it will be your loss in the end.
This, too, is in a way similar to the law of nature. It can be understood in this way. For example, if you do not smile at people but raise your eyebrows, their reaction is similar. If you treat other people truthfully and well, they will treat you the same way. We must agree that all people want friends; no one wants enemies. Keep in mind that the proper way to make friends is kindness. Make nature your friend too. Take care of it; surely she will take care of you too.
4 Why is ego not considered good?
One who walks looking at the sky will surely stumble. The rising sun will slowly set. When the sun goes down, then of which field are we radish? Don't move your head with pride. Always remember one thing, the one who walks wide chest gets to bow down. Ravan, who walks with a wide chest, gets to meet Shri Ram, who licks the dust in the pride of ten heads. In the conceit of his power, Shri Krishna is found to tarnish the drop of Kansa, who walks with his head held high. Those who beat the arrogant are found.
In every age, the head of the egoist is low, and to destroy his arrogance, the serf gets one and a half users. Not every bill has rats. There are snakes too. So don't live under the guise that your dictatorship will continue to be tolerated at any cost, and a counterattacker will not be found. Once a terrorist king arrested a person and ordered him to appear in court. The king used to impose his every right and illegitimate order on the people. When the person who opposed him was arrested and presented before the king, he said - 'You crucify me. Still, I will despise your orders. By saying this, he made the king realize that the people's hearts cannot be ruled by arrogance.
5 What is the importance of love in human life?
Love is not a relationship between two or three persons or confined to friends or family. It includes in itself social and political relations. This relationship also embraces creation. The expression of love as a social and political animal comes from human development, where we are all ready to face challenges. While we know that love develops family and friendship, let us remember that it also develops social, cultural, economic, and political ties and helps us build a 'civilization of love.
Without this inspiration of love, there remains a culture of arrogance, indifference, and throwing away; that is, we throw away the things we do not love or which we find useless. We need to establish a civilization of love, which understands the importance of all things. If a person thinks only of his own well-being, then it is selfishness, whereas if the welfare of many is taken care of, then it is great to work. A healthy society cares about the health of everyone, loves all.
