Liberal'ning ayblovi: "Siz bag'rikeng emassiz." Tarjima: "Siz men bardosh beradigan aniq narsalarga bardosh bermaysiz." Ingliz tilidagi "tolerance" (bardoshlilik, chidamlilik) so'zining ta'riflaridan biri: "Belgilangan miqdorning ruxsat etilgan o'zgarish chegarasi, ayniqsa mashina yoki detalning o'lchamlarida." Ishlab chiqarilgan detallar hech qachon mutlaqo bir xil bo'lmaydi. Agar zavod, masalan, 100 000 ta porshen ishlab chiqarsa, hech ikkita porshen to'liq teng bo'lmaydi. Har doim o'zgarish bo'ladi, lekin bu o'zgarish aniq belgilangan chegara ichida bo'lishi kerak. Agar biror porshen bu chegaradan chiqib ketsa, u yaroqsiz deb topiladi va chiqindiga chiqarilishi kerak.

The Liberal Charge: “You are not tolerant.” The Translation: “You do not tolerate the precise things that I tolerate.” One of the definitions of “tolerance” in the English language is: “An allowable amount of variation of a specified quantity, especially in the dimensions of a machine or part.” Manufactured parts are never exactly the same. If a factory produces, say, 100,000 pistons, no two pistons will be exactly equal. There is always variation but that variation has to be within a specific tolerance. If a specific piston is beyond tolerance, it is deemed dysfunctional and has to be trashed.

Liberallar cheksiz bag‘rikenglikka da’vo qilishadi va boshqalarni bag‘rikengsizlikda ayblashadi, lekin aslida ularning bag‘rikengligi chegaralarga ega. Cheksiz bag‘rikenglik, albatta, zid ma’noli ibora, ya’ni o‘ziga o‘zi zid tushuncha. Farq shundaki, liberal bag‘rikenglik oxir-oqibat xohish-istaklarga va tasodifiy madaniy e’tiqodlarga asoslanadi, islomiy bag‘rikenglik esa hikmat va hidoyatga asoslanadi.

Liberals pretend to be infinitely tolerant and accuse others of being intolerant when in reality their tolerance has limits. Infinite tolerance, of course, is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. The difference is liberal tolerance is ultimately based on whims and haphazard cultural beliefs whereas Islamic tolerance is based on hikma and guidance.

Agar biz ishlab chiqarilgan mexanik detal misoliga qaytadigan bo‘lsak, agar tolerantlik darajalari to‘g‘ri kalibrlanmasa, natijada hosil bo‘ladigan detallar nosoz va foydasiz bo‘ladi. Xuddi shunday, inson uchun ham. Ma’lum darajadagi o‘zgaruvchanlik chidab bo‘ladigan, lekin har qanday turdagi o‘zgaruvchanlik ham faoliyat ko‘rsatadigan, sog‘lom inson hosil qila olmaydi. Inson salomatligi, faoliyati va farovonligi — bu so‘zlarning eng haqiqiy ma’nosida — haqida insoniyatning Yaratuvchisi va Boquvchisidan ko‘ra kim ko‘proq biladi?

If we go back to the example of the manufactured mechanical part, if the tolerance levels are not correctly calibrated, the resulting parts will be dysfunctional and useless. Similarly for human beings. The right kind of variation is tolerable, but not all kinds of variation can lead to a functioning, healthy human being. And who would know better about human health, function, and well-being — in the truest sense of those words — than the Creator and Maintainer of humankind?
