The Prophet Muhammad A simple Guide to his Life
Trusting Human Nature
~ 214 ~
Islam the words uttered by people, or even their
activities, are not worthy of great consideration. For
all these things are ephemeral. While dealing with
people, the actual factor worth considering is
human nature. Man is basically subordinated to the
temperament he is born with. All other things are
only of a temporary nature. They do not enjoy the
position of a decisive element in the matter of
human behaviour.
This
sunnah
of the Prophet shows that in both
individual or social affairs, we must always ignore
superficial factors. It is the demand of human
nature which has to be given the greatest
importance and making concessions to it is a sure
guarantee of all kinds of success.
If an individual or a group becomes provoked, then
this provocation is not worthy of real consideration.
What should be considered is that, despite apparent
provocation, man’s nature should continue to
remain unchanged.
In such a situation, if we are able to give
concessions to human nature by avoiding
provocation, problems will ultimately solve
