maulana, agla sawal aaya hai kashmir se aamir jan mori sahib ka. unhone likha hai: "if a person contributes in the da'wah work indirectly, like purchase of da'wah material etcetera, but in actual, but the actual distribution is done by other. will it be considered to be the da'wah work, or should the person engage himself directly in the distribution and earn the reward?" nahi, dono da'wah work hain, kyunke islam mein aap jante hain ke innamal a'malu binniyat amal ka daromadar niyat par hai. to aap indirect way mein da'wah ka kaam karen, tab bhi niyat to aap ki da'wah ki hoti hai. dono jagah niyat da'wah ki hoti hai.

to jo kaam bhi aap karen, apne mawaqe ke aitbar se niyat aap ki da'wah ki ho, to woh aap ko poora sawab milega da'wah ka is mein, kyunke sawab milta hai niyat par. sawab jo milta hai, woh niyat par milta hai. to main dono ko farq nahi samajhta. dono mein ek sa darje ka sawab milega, bashart ke niyat da'wah ki ho. maulana, un ka ek aur sawal hai. unhone likha hai: "it is said that in the hereafter, it is actually the soul which will get reward or punishment, depending upon the deeds done in this world.
