58:57maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai bangalore se Maulana Farhat Ahmad Salafi sahib ka. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke Maulana ahya-e-ummat ki bajaye ahya-e-khilafat ki dhoom kyun hai? yeh mere aziz aik bid'at hai, na ke sunnat. yeh is ko main sunnat nahi manunga. asal mein hua yeh ke baad ke zamaney mein jab musalmanon ka aik bara saltanat ban gayi, us zamaney mein yeh fiqh develop hua ke islam ke liye zaroori hai ke is ka political power ho.
59:45to is ke liye unhon ne khilafat Allah mein istemal kiya. warna jo hadith mein jo alfaaz hain, woh tajdeed aur ahya ke alfaaz hain, yani deen ki tajdeed. deen ki tajdeed yeh hai ke jab jamood aa jaye to jamood ko todna, jab zawaal aa jaye to phir dobara un mein harkat paida karna, jab spirit khatm ho jaye, phir form reh jaye to phir se spirit ko le aana. yeh yeh hai ehya aur tajdeed ka kaam. baqi yeh ke hukoomat qaim karna, yeh bilkul hi aik mubtadaana tasawwur hai.

Abbasi daur aap jante hain ke qurun mashhood lah bil khair ke baad ka daur hai. Islam mein dekhiye, qurun qurun thalatha ko miyar mana gaya hai. teen daur yaani ahad risalat, ahad Sahaba, ahad Tabeen, yeh teen daur miyari daur hain.
1:01:11is ke baad jo hai, woh miyari daur nahi hai. to koi bhi aisi cheez jo qurun thalatha ke baad paida hui ho, woh bilashuba qabil e tanqeed hai, qabil e tajziya hai. is ko hum as it is as it is nahi le sakte. isi mein se yeh tasawwur bhi hai, siyasi iqtidaar qaim karne ka tasawwur hai jis ko khilafat yaani is ko Islamize kar ke is ko khilafat ka naam dijiye ga. jo khulafa thay, charon khulafa, woh bhi Ameer ul Momineen kehelate thay.
1:01:52yeh khilafat ka lafz to baad ko raaij hua hai, woh woh Ameer ul Momineen kehelate thay. Maulana, agla sawal Karachi Pakistan se hai Miss Saira Latif ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Daur-e-zawaal mein ummat ki islaah ka nuqta-e-aaghaz kya hai?
