Terrorism: Grave Threat to Humanism. {134.}

Terrorism: Grave Threat to Humanism. {134.}
****

So, while we have here been sending & reading daily quotes from all of humanity’s scriptures, there the terrorists continue with their brazen activities of senselessly holding hostage & brutally massacring innocents!

Right-thinking people all across the world must, irrespective of national or religious distinctions, unitedly condemn terrorism as a grave threat not just to human safety but to the very existence of human civilization.

The law of the jungle unfortunately appears to be coming to the fore in the world.
Perhaps this is among the umpteen banes that are to mark the present & ongoing depraved age of Kaliyuga.

However, the devout must stick to their Dharma & right values & make concerted efforts against all such divisive & disruptive forces of hatred, violence & destruction in any corner of the world.

Accept the Signs from Heaven. {53.}

Accept the Signs from Heaven. {53.}
****

"These are the verses of the Book
that makes {things} clear.
Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief
because they do not believe.
If We please, We should send down upon them
a sign from the heaven
so that their necks should stoop to it.
And there does not come to them
a new reminder from the Beneficent God
but they turn aside from it.
So they have indeed rejected {the truth},
therefore the news of that which they mock
shall soon come to them.
Do they not see the earth,
how many of every noble kind
We have caused to grow in it?
Most surely there is a sign in that,
but most of them will not believe.
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful."

---- The Quran; Ash-Shu'ara {The Poets}, 2-9.
