B. Write an informative / explanatory essay on the topic “Peace and Tolerance”.

Tolerance can be defined as the ability to accept and respect the opinions, beliefs, and behaviors of others when they differ from our own. In today’s diverse and interconnected world, tolerance is more important than ever before. It plays a crucial role in fostering, understanding, and promoting peace, for building harmonious societies.

Tolerance is a virtue and an ability which makes us learn how to live coherently in society. It is a quality that ensures peace and harmony even in case of disagreement among people around.

It is a constructive characteristic which builds a society where everyone can live peacefully. Living in such a diverse and interconnected world, the need for tolerance has become very crucial to our survival and future. It helps us coexist in the presence of multicultural world with diversity of opinions and viewpoints.

Tolerance broadens the horizon of perspective. By putting ourselves in the shoes of others, we develop a strong mutual relationship and better understanding of each other. Then through meaningful dialogue and positive attitude, tolerance allows exchange of thoughts and ideas from two contradictory persons. It lets us be more accommodative towards anything unacceptable.

Tolerance creates a willingness to listen to others who disagree to our beliefs and viewpoints. In a world, where class difference, racial discrimination and religious hostility is profusely spread, the only to defeat these vices is through tolerance.

Now the point is, how we can develop the virtue of tolerance in us. Certainly, the best example for us to follow is the Prophet Muhammad (خاتم النبینﷺ) who displayed tolerance in the best way ever found in the history of mankind. His whole life was adorned with stimulating events of patience, peace and tolerance. The heathens and non-believers exiled him from his own motherland but He (خاتم النبینﷺ)  demonstrated tolerance, which in the end convinced them to embrace Islam.

The people of Taif threw stones at him and rejected his preaching and invitation to Islam. His (خاتم النبینﷺ)  shoes got filled with his own blood and He (خاتم النبینﷺ)  got fainted. On this occasion, the Angel of Mountain said, “O Muhammad! (خاتم النبینﷺ)  Order what you wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akhshabain (The two mountains there) fall on them. But the Prophet(خاتم النبینﷺ) replied, “No, but Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah alone, and will worship none besides Him.”

To promote peace, to give everyone equal rights and to thrive a society of mutual respect and understanding; we should follow the footsteps of out beloved Prophet Muhammad (خاتم النبینﷺ)  to cultivate tolerance in us. But along with it, we should also raise our voice against social injustice and moral degradation in the society. With this balance, humanity will flourish and the earth will be an ideal place to live on.
