Creation necessitates differences because creation is not fulfilled without plurality. This sense of difference governs the universe and it is the basis of all other types of differences. However, althoughthis kind of difference exists among human beings, there is another kind of difference arising out of ideas, willpowers and the actions of human beings. When differences in human community reached a certain level, divineshari’ahswere revealed to create discipline in human community. Nonetheless,with the advent of religions, a group of people had differences overthe religion itself and a new kind of difference arose. Thus, the mission of divine religionsis to arbitrate among disputes arising out of disagreements over the very religion. Another type of difference refers to the differences in the rate of faith that cannot be resolved except through open dialogue and rational discussion. Hence, although a group of differencescan be resolved, another groupmakes the core of human life and what is of outmost importance in human life is how to handle disputes and not to get rid of them which is completely impossible. |
