His answer, in his own words

maulana, agla sawal allahabad se aaya hai abrar sahib ka aur unhon ne likha hai ke quran ke chapter seventy-four verse number three mein aaya hai وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ maulana, mere ek saathi ka kehna hai ke is aayat se murad hukoomat qaim karna hai. maulana, is aayat ko wazeh karein. haan, woh ek sahib thay pakistan ke, un ka death ho gayi woh is ka tarjuma karte thay ke "apne rab ko bada karo". وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ke mani hote hain ke apne rab ki barhai bayan karo.

apne rab ki barhai bayan karo. woh is ka tarjuma karte thay ke "apne rab ko bada karo". to mein to is ko bilkul jahilana tarjuma samajhta hoon. na is ka talluq grammar se hai, na lughat se hai, na sachai se. ab hum khuda ko bada karein ge? aap ghore kijiye to yeh to badtar az kufr hai ke hum samjhein ke hum khuda ko bada karein ge. hum ne apne rab ko bada karo aur hukoomat qaim karo. yeh to bilkul yani stupid qism ki baatein hain. is ka koi yani is ki koi base nahi hai.

maulana, unhon ne ek aur isi se related ek comment bheja hai aur likha hai ke mere ek dost hain jo kehte hain ke agar quran is waqt bhi is waqt bhi distribute ki ki jaati jis tarah aaj hoti hai to log khushi khushi accept karte jaise ke aaj kar rahe hain. koi pareshani sahaba ko bhi nahi aati lekin unhon ne nizaam par aitraaz kiya tab unhein pareshani ka saamna karna pada. yeh to baseless baat hai. kahan nizaam par aitraaz? koi koi batao, reference batao. reference batao, kahan nizaam par aitraaz sabit hota hai? yeh to khud sakhta baat hai. khud hi garh liya, khud hi khud. khud hi garh liya ke nizaam. nizaam ka koi concept nahi tha na quran mein na hadees mein aap sab sabit kar sakte.
