Phir se padhiye aur agle hafte phir sahi sawal kijiye. Mere alfaaz jo hain, us ko le kar ke. Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai Miss Saadia Khan ka. Unhone likha hai: "The opening words of the Quran for 113 chapters refers to God as being merciful and gracious. Why out of all the qualities would God choose to single out these two?" Kindly comment Aur nahi toh Quran mein aur doosre jo Khuda ke doosre jo attributes woh bayan kiye gaye hain, yahan par yaani is ko highlight kiya gaya hai kyunke insaan ka yeh bahut bada concern hai ke Khuda mujh par reham kare, mere saath blessing kare.

Yeh toh bahut bada yaani wajood toh de chuka Khuda. Ab mujhe dua thodi karna hai ke Khuda mujhe wajood de de, mujhe paida kar de Main toh paida ho chuka, paida ho chuka hoon. Main toh ab jo doosra concern mera hai ke mere saath Khuda basic mamla mamla kare. Is liye is ko highlight kiya gaya hai, warna Quran mein aur doosre jo Allah Ta'ala ke attributes hain, uska bhi zikr hai. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai maulana ilyas sahab ka
