It now all depends what wrong activities one identifies in the society and then what approach is followed to rectify the issues. These two things formulate an ideology. And then there is a war of ideologies. People struggling for the peace in the society destroy it themselves by fighting over the ideologies with other people. They forget that the fixing of the issue was a priority rather than the way one adapts to resolve it. Then not everyone identifies the root causes of the evils in the society. They normally visit the doctor again and again for the cure of the wounds in their feet instead of getting the nail out of their shoe. They normally try to fix the files infected by the virus instead of the virus itself. There may be cases where a thief was compelled to steal others because someone else had stolen something from him as well. Probably someone else had stolen his chappal from the mosque and he had to steal someone else’s to recover his lost.

Theft is the only sin. I remember some lines from a novel and would like to share it here.

“There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft… When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness….”

There are “thieves” everywhere in our society, some steal directly and some do not let you know what you handover to them from your life. Let’s identify those big fish, those gods in the society to understand the real meanings of “La-Ilaha-Ill-Allah” that there are no gods other than GOD and we do not surrender ourself to any other god other than GOD.
