The Age of Peace

The secret of success in life is not to make others suffer
losses at your hands. The secret of success in life is to plan
one’s time and energy wisely and to avail of the opportunities
within one’s reach. All this should be done in a silent manner.
The result of this peaceful strategy on the part of the Prophet
Muhammad was that seven years after his migration from
Makkah, he was able to organize a peaceful march to Makkah
and enter the city without facing resistance from his opponents.
This event is mentioned in Chapter 110 of the Quran.
At the time of controversy people generally fight with
others. But this is not a wise course of action. The wise course
is to avoid fighting and strive to reach your goal through
quiet planning, all the while keeping a low profile. One should
discover the available opportunities and try to peacefully
utilize them. This is the law of nature, and the law of nature
never fails. If you follow this strategy based on the law of
nature, you will certainly have success.
