This teaching reminds us of the deep gratitude we can feel for living in an age whose moral consciousness has advanced far beyond many chapters of history. Contemporary conflicts still bring unspeakable sorrow, with bombs falling on cities full of children, and here the Ottoman legacy offers a striking contrast: even in war, the Ottomans protected civilians and granted rights to their adversaries, guided by the Qur’anic counsel not to let hatred lead to injustice. The reflection invites us to value the ethical progress we have made while staying vigilant in upholding compassion and fairness for every human being.
