riwaj. Maulana, agla sawal miss naghma siddiqui ka hai dilli se. unhon ne likha hai ke "aftershock treatment by Ata Turk, were any efforts made for re-engineering of minds in Turkey?" Kindly comment. partially, mere ilm mein partially hua hai. jaisa ke hamaray mission mein ho raha hai, waisa nahi hua hai. Maslan fethullah guelen sahib jo hain, woh partially woh kaam kar rahay hain aur syed nursi ne partially yeh kaam kiya.

lekin un ki ideology hoti hai, woh itni clear nahi hai jitni ideology hamaray haan clear hai. Hamaray haan Allah ke fazal se bohat hi bohat hi clear ideology hai is moamlay mein, yani ideology of re engineering. Wahan itni clear nahi hai, lekin beharhal unhon ne is maidan mein kaam kiya hai. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai mr khalid ansari sahab ka. unhon ne likha hai ke "muslims are still in the obsession of establishing khilafat."
