Tolerance means to bear pain or hardships with patience. It also means to bear things you do not like for example when you are very angry and want to hit some one but do not do so you are displaying tolerance. The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) himself was a model of tolerance and also advised it to his followers. The era , which is passing is full of trail. intolerance is flourrishing rapidly in the society. If we look at the present time, we see that the present day is full of wonders and temptations in the society. Intolerance is growing rapidly in the society. Anger has been declared as “unlawful” in Islam because “anger” is the human condition in which a person can do anything even if someone’s life has to be taken he killed the other. Our educational institutions are limited only to curriculum education. No one is concerned about the moral training of students. Islam emphasizes the acquisition of all kinds of knowledge, but also tells that religion has been perfected after the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), therefore, only by ensuring the implementation of the teachings of the last prophet of God, a person can live in this world and in the hereafter successfully and with prosperity. The 21st century is the century of inventions. Human being is in search of the best. On the one hand, new inventions have revolutionized human lives, on the other hand, these inventions have created difficulties for humans beings too. Take the touch mobile phone, no doubt, this is a great invention of the modern era and a great gift for man. It is not only the fastest means of information and communication, but many facilities have now come into the hands of man. This invention has done away with the clock as time can also be seen in touch mobiles. This invention has also eliminated the help of calculator, now calculations can be done easily on the mobile phone. This amazing invention has also left the TV behind. All kinds of informative, entertainment, political, economic programs can be seen on the touch mobile screen. There is no need to buy newspapers and magazines because of the touch mobile. All kinds of games like Ludo, Carrom Board, Cricket, Football etc can be played on mobile. No need to go to the library now a days . All kinds of books can be read in touch mobile. Touch mobile also works as a flashlight in the dark and movie camera and still camera. Therefore, while touch mobile phones have many advantages, there are also disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that touch mobile is promoting intolerance in the society. There is a game in it that paralyzes the human mind and by becoming mad, a person even ends the life of another person. Something similar happened in Wasu Astana area of Tehsil 18 Hazari near Tehsil Ahmad Pur Sial, where playing games on touch mobiles. The brother brutally killed his sister for disobeying her. The only reason was to prevent her brother Waseem from playing a game called PUBG, on which he became enraged and first shot his sister and then he brutally cut his neck with Toka. There is also a game called PUBG in touch mobile which has negative effects on the mind of the player and makes him go out of his mind as a result of which he can do a lot of damage just like brother who got angry and not only shot his sister but also cut her neck to satisfy his passion. A few days ago, the writer was discussing with the teachers in the library of Government High School Ahmad Pur Sial that a game has been invented that captures the human nerves and eliminates the distinction between good and bad. Even if a person has to shed someone’s blood, he will not hesitate. The brutal killing of a sister by a brother in Wasu Astana is a practical example of the intolerance caused by the touch mobile. Touch mobile has also created distances. If four or five friends are sitting together in a party and everyone has a touch mobile, then everyone seems to be engrossed in their touch mobiles without caring about each other. “Intolerance” is also flourishing in the society due to human behaviors. The power to bear against the mood has been lost. It should be called stupidity or guilt that the best of all creation lost his “life” due to intolerance. An example of this is found Hazrat Bahu Sultan’s Chak No. 12/ 3L , where the younger brother committed suicide by swinging himself from a noose after being scolded by his elder brother. The deceased was 17 years old. What has happened in the society? It is beyond comprehension. To prevent such situations, the causes of intolerance must be found. Positive changes in attitudes must be brought about and touch mobiles must be used only for constructive purposes. Like medicines, it must be kept out of the reach of children. Because of science, the progress is not made so that man misuses it, but the new inventions are for beneficial purposes. Lets try to promote the tolerance in the society so that a peacefull society can be established again which was founded by the Holy Prophet (PBHU) naer about 1400 years ago.
