His answer, in his own words
1:41:08
maulana, agla sawal bhi chennai se hai maulana israr umri ka. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke hadith ki tashreeh mein asri usloob kya hai? dekhiye, asri usloob basically hai rational usloob ka naam. jise aap dekhen ke log hadithon ki tashreeh karte hain to aur fazail sunate hain us ko. fazail ki zaban mein. to fazail ki zaban jo hai, woh rational zaban nahin hoti hai. fazail ki zaban mein agar aap tashreeh karen to woh aaj ke insan ka mind address nahin hoga. aaj ka insan jo hai, woh chahta hai rational andaaz mein.

tab is ka mind address hoga. to mein to yahi samajh paya hoon ke aik hai fazail ki zaban, aik hai yani reason ki zaban. to reason ki zaban agar aap istemal karen to woh asli usloob hai. aur fazail ki zaban istemal karen to woh qadeem usloob hai. maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai kashmir se aamir jaan mori sahib ka. unhon ne aap se poocha hai how can we imbibe the spirit of presence of God while offering namaz?
