“A person said that we are proud that we got a mission like Al-Risala. Maulana, is it correct to say such a proud thing?”Asked by Maulana Israr, Tamil Nadu
Maulana, agla sawal kya hai? Maulana Asrar ne Tamil Nadu se. Unho ne likha hai ke ek sahib ne kaha ke hum ko fakhr hai ke hum ko Al-Risala jaisa mission mila. Maulana, kya is tarah ki fakhr wali baat karna sahi hai? Har giz sahi nahi. Yeh bilkul galat hai. Yeh yeh fakhr ki baat kya hai? Shukr ki baat kahiye ke Allah taala ka shukr hai ke mujhe sachai mil gayi. Fakhr kya? Fakhr to ek gunah ki baat hai, main samajhta hoon. Fakhr ke andar to arrogance hai, yaani superiority, yeh sab cheezein is ke andar hain. Baharhal, fakhr bilkul hi ghair Islami hai aur bilkul galat kaam hai.
Aap ko agar sachai mili hai to shukr ada kijiye Allah taala ka. Aisi cheez momin ki jo hai, woh response woh shukr hai, na ke fakhr. Miss Aisha ne Delhi se sawal kiya hai. Unho ne likha hai: "Ek baar aap ne farmaya tha ke aadmi ko chahiye ke woh doosri cheezon ke muamle mein practical ho, lekin dealing ke muamle mein us ko chahiye ke woh ideal sabit ho."
