1:02:02Maulana, 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? madrasa, school, taleemi idara aur masjid war tehreek ya fikri aur zehni lehaaz se logon ko tayyar karna, un ke shaoor ko jagana, un ke andar spirit paida karna, literature aur haftawar meeting ke zariye logon se mulaqat karna waghera." is ke baray mein bataein. yeh to aap ne khud hi jawab de diya hai aur wahi main manta hoon is ko ke masjid o madaris yeh to dhanchay hain. dhanchay se aaghaz nahi hua karta, aaghaz hota hai spirit se. dhanchay zaroori hain apni jagah par, lekin jab zawaal aa jaye to aaghaz dhanchay se nahi hoga, spirit se hoga.
1:02:59wahi yaani intellectual devolution lana hoga, logon ke zehn ko phir se reactivate karna hoga, mind ki re-engineering karni hogi. yahi hai nuqta e aaghaz. dhanchay se aaghaz nahi ho sakta. dhancha to be rooh ho chuka hai. jab be rooh ho chuka to usi se aaghaz kaise karenge aap? dhancha kyun be rooh hua, is ko janna parhe ga. dhancha to bohat maujood hai, beshumar masjidain hain, beshumar madaris, beshumar idaray jo kabhi tareekh mein nahi thay, phir bhi ummat par zawaal hai.
1:03:38to kyunke to dhanchay ke peechay jo cheez yaani leak kar rahi hai, jo maqbool ho rahi hai, us ko pata kijiye, woh hai spirit. to spirit se aaghaz hoga, na ke dhanchay se. Maulana, agla sawal hai Maulana Iqbal Umri Sahab ka Tamil Nadu se. unhon ne poocha hai ke logon ka aksar yeh sawal rehta hai ke burai zyada ho chuki hai, hamari aanay wali nasal ka kya hoga?
