prophet replied: "you praised this so paradise has been affirmed to him and you spoke badly of this so hell has been affirmed to him. you people are allah witnesses on earth." dekhiye, is mein jo pehla hissa hai, woh is mein asal baat nahi hai. asal baat to hai aakhri hisse mein: "antum shuhada allah fi al-ard. " shuhada ka matlab hai dua daai. is par mein likh chuka hoon. is se pehle aap parhiye is is hadith ka asal juz yeh hai ke tum dunya mein allah ke gadai ho, gawah ho.

to matlab yeh ke jab jinke paas yeh quran ho, quran ki quran ki wirasat hai, wohi to dawat ka kaam karenge. to yeh hadith dawat ki zimmedari ko batati hai. is se jo jis ne lena hai humein, woh sirf yeh lena hai ke humein dawat ka kaam karna hai. agar hum dawat ka kaam na karein to pakde jayenge. maulana, agla sawal ah dilli se hai miss saty malhotra ka. unhon ne aapse poocha hai: "can quran be given physically or it can be given in soft copy through email?" please advice.
