Constructive Action in Perspective of the Risal-i Nur: A Study of Positive Concepts of Brotherhood, love, patience, maintenance of public order and social unity

Abstract

The greatest danger facing the people of Islam at this time is the harm and corruption through the misguidance of the modern day philosophies. The Muslims are in a complete dilemma what to do? and how to do?. The supplication of Hadhrath Yunus (AS) is a stimulus rather guidance for the people of Islam as a whole, when he passed his nights and days in a darkness after discouraged at the apparent failure of the mission. He should have remained in the most discouraging circumstances and relied on the power of Allah. After swallow by a big fish he remained in the depth of the darkness both physically and spiritually--- while remaining constant on his supplication Allah most gracious forgave him. He was refreshed and strengthened and the work of his mission prospered. Thus he overcome all his disappointment by repentance and faith---- a constructive action thus came into being----On the same analogy the people of Islam is facing darkness and holocaust all around the world, they verily overcome this decadence and miseries with positive and hopeful actions within the premises or boundary of the belief . With the phrases “there is no god , Glory be unto you! Indeed I was among wrongdoers”--- Our future is illuminated with the light of faith and belief and the awe and terror of darkness are transformed into tranquility. By virtue of tranquility, peace and brotherhood, patience and love, social unity a new world of justice can be created , if we inculcate all these values in our society it will definitely and    positively turn into a good society which   Insha Allah will act as a model for the alien faiths  to follow.
