Morocco- The Road to Peace in the Holy Land


(MENAFN- Morocco World News) You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. (Exodus 20 13-17) In the Gospel we learn “… You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22 37-39)

As we can all see the righteous path to all residents of this land be they Jews Muslims or Christians is love for your neighbor and this commandment is binding upon all of us. Love for one’s neighbor means good relations cordiality gentle and kind conduct acting with love and compassion speaking good words winning the hearts through competing in doing good in all kinds of acts of courtesy and self-giving with a profound affection friendship and guardianship. God gives this example to all believers to every one of us as true guidance to bring an end to the burden of hatred and hostility. Without love life is not possible. All the negativities come out of the darkness of lovelessness that darkens even the subtlest details of one's life.

And the Qur'an teaches us the way out of this conundrum.

'A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and if there is enmity between you and someone else he will be like a bosom friend. None will obtain it but those who are truly steadfast. None will obtain it but those who have great good fortune.'(Surah Fussilat 34-35)

When the people living in the Holy Land turn towards to the guidance that their prophets have shown them they will be granted the awaited salvation that they are seeking. Yet this is not through the so-called processes delays or not very sincere steps that only make them lose more time. Salvation lies only in faith. The best efforts are always with sincerity total devotion and a determined will to uphold the tenets of righteousness.
