maulana agla sawal dilli se maulana zakwan nadvi sahib ka hai unhon ne aap se do quran ki ayaton ko wazeh karne ke liye kaha hai pehli ayat chapter 2 of quran verse number 201 hai jis mein aya hai Our Lord grants us good in this world as well as good in the world hereafter. second jo hai wo chapter 28 verse number 77 hai jis mein aya hai Seek the home of the hereafter by means of that which God has bestowed on you, and do not forget to take your portion in this world. dekhen pehli ayat to wo hai rabbana atina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah wa qina azabannar is mein bhi baat kahoon ke mujhe is mein bhi aik discovery hai aur bohat ajib discovery hai rabbana atina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah wa qina azabannar tarjuma is ka ye hai ke aye hamare rabb de hum ko dunya ka hasanah aur de hum ko akhirat ka hasanah hum ko bacha akhirat ke azab se to mein ne socha ke dunya ka hasanah to allah ne de rakha hai already hamari dua ke baghair hi
1:29:57
ye bohat aik ajib baat mujhe daryaft hui is mein kyunke dekhen quran mein hai ke wa atainakum min kulli ma saltamuh hum paida hote nahi aur duniya mein sab kuch peshgi taur par wo maujood hai yahan suraj hai yahan pani hai yahan oxygen hai yahan zameen se ghale nikal rahe hain yani sari cheezen jo hum chahte hain wo peshgi maujood hain yahan par to yahan kyun kaha gaya rabbana atina fid dunya hasana a hum a allah humein de dunya ka husna wo to already mila hua hai to maine is ayat ko is tareeqe se padha ke rabbana qad ataytana fid dunya hasana fa atana fil akhirati hasana a allah tu ne dunya mein humein de diya husna to akhirat ka husna bhi de de already de diya tu ne
1:31:06
yani is mein ek ek hidden mafhoom hai is ayat mein ke aap sochen ke main mang raha hoon allah taala se dunya ka husna wo to already mila hua hai quran khud quran se sabit hai ke wa ataykum min kulli ma saltamoo sab kuch de diya tum ko jo jo tum ko darkar tha dunya mein to maine yeh dua is mein se paai ke khudaaya tu ne dunya mein sab kuch de diya jo mujhe chaahi e tha ab akhirat mein bhi de de jo mujhe darkar hai rabbana qad ataytana fid dunya hasana fa atana fil akhirati hasana to ek ajib is ke andar ek ek ek dua ka mazmoon chupa hua hai bohat ajib
1:32:04
aur doosri jo ayat hai wo is ayat mein wa la tansa naseebaka amrad dunya to us ko log samajhte hain ke dunya mein jo khana kamana hai wo bhi hasil kar lo yeh matlab hargiz nahi hai iska matlab yeh hai ke dunya mein allah taala ne aap ko bheja hai yahan yahan settle kiya hai to dunya se jo le kar jana hai akhirat ke liye wo us ko na bhool us ko hasil kar aur us ko le kar akhirat mein ja yeh matlab hai iska yani ayat ka tarjuma yeh hai ke na bhool dunya se apna hissa
1:32:55
yani hissa ka matlab hissa akhirat na bhool dunya se apna hissa akhirat yeh matlab nahi hai ke ke dunya mein khoob khoob taraqqi karo khoob dunya banao yeh matlab hargiz nahi hai iska wa la tansa naseebaka amrad dunya na bhool dunya se hissa akhirat yani dunya mein aisi zindagi guzar guzaaro jo akhirat tumhare kaam aaye yani wahi cheez hai yeh jo hadith mein in alfaz mein hai ad dunya madarratun lil akhirati isi hadith ki isi ayat ki tashreeh hai yeh ad dunya madarratun lil akhirati dunya akhirat ki kheti hai yani fasal yahan bona hai aur wo is ka is ka phal wahan paana hai yeh matlab is ayat ka hai hargiz is ka matlab nahi hai ke dunya mein khoob hasil karo yeh yeh is ayat ka matlab nahi hai maulana agla sawal dilli se hai mister muhammad furqan sahab ka unhone likha hai maulana sahab jaisa ke aap ne farmaya ke jannat high culture high etiquettes achhe kirdaar ke logon ke liye hai
