The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 117
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order today. On this, as I have said earlier, rules, selfishness; and injustice. As long as one does not destroy these tendencies, the world cannot enter peace, and the shadows of war cannot be lifted from the world. Rather, now that Soviet Union and America have reached peace, smaller dangers will rise with greater force and just as the volcanos do, no one in the world will be able to stop them from raining fire. This is because the interests of certain Super Powers desire that provocation should continue at one place or another. As the Urdu poet Ghalib says:. ,,. ,. , L� J: c- U�i' � if l. Si. . ::,_? i � J �. / "The provocation of the fair ones should continue, 0 Asad if there is to be no meeting then let there at least be unfulfilled longing" These great nations which were not the fair ones have been provoking one another for some time. Now these great nations have become friendly and the small nations have become the fair ones for them. They cannot have a meeting (of minds) with them but their longing to meddle with them continues. This couplet does not entirely fit this situation therefore I shall have to modify it a little to apply to this situation. When this provocation of longings takes place between the lover and his beloved, it is always the lover who suffers because the beloved is stronger and has the authority over the lover. The difference in the words tell us that the beloved is the one who should rule over the lover. The situation here is not that of intense love and the lover, but it is indeed a question of power and subjugation. There is definitely the relationship between power and weakness. So if here there will be provocation of the fair one, then the regret will always be the lot of the weak ones. Regret is never the lot of the beloved. It is always the lot of the lover. So there are many kind of regrets which are in store for the weaker and poorer nations and these powerful countries will never stop their provocation. DUTIF. S OF THE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMAAT Therefore it is the duty of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to make the politics of the world aware of the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad'•.
