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? dekhiye, sab se bari cheez jo hai, apne ko distraction se bachana. distraction se bachana. log distraction se to bachate nahin aur kehte hain ke hum kaise humein presence of God ke sath hi raho. misalan masjidon mein jayenge aur jeeb mein mobile hai. itna bhi nahin kar sakte ke mobile ghar mein rakh kar aayen. itna bhi nahin kar sakte. to kahan se in ko presence of God ka tas awwur hoga? woh to presence of mobile ka tasawwur hota hai. dekhiye, price deni parti hai har cheez ki. itni price bhi dene ko tayyar nahin koi ke apne mobile ko ghar par chhod kar aayen.
