His answer, in his own words

Maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai Mr Khwaja Kaleemuddin ka Pennsylvania se. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana sahib, i often come across with a question from the people asking who is going to be like Maulana after he has passed away. dead he prepare anyone like him who is going to be a prolific writer and speaker? " my reply to such people always has been that Maulana has never been trying to clone himself who can be another Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. rather he is trying to raise the awareness of all and sundry so that every person becomes a thinking person, a person who discovers the reality in his own.

Maulana with his literature has initiated a process with which people may evolve into peaceful beings who can establish peace in the world. this he is making a way so that someone greater than him may be born. Maulana sahib, please comment on my reply. theek hai, aap ne bilkul sahi jawab diya hai. haqeeqat yeh hai ke dunya mein hamesha literature hi se kaam hua hai. jitni tehreekein hain, insaan to hamesha baqi nahin rehta. jitne bare bare movement hain, woh sab literature se aage badhe hain.
1:01:55
chahe marxism ho, chahe darwinism ho, chahe democracy ho, jitne bhi tehreekein hain, literature ke bal par aage badhe hain. aur Allah se yahan literature aisa tayyar ho chuka hai jo har cheez ko replace karta hai. abhi aaj hi mujhe ek news mili ek shehar se India ke ek sahib ko, yaani daryaft hui is is mission ki aur kitabon ko padha unhone. to unhone andha dhundh kitabon ko phailana shuru kar diya. aaj hi mujhe message aaya, koi kehte hain ke main ek ek insaan tak is kitabon ko pahunchaunga.
1:02:45
to log, mere khayal se, log padhte nahin, woh jante nahin ke yeh literature ki shakal mein kaisi cheez tayyar ho gayi hai. aaj hi subah telephone ke zariye mujhe ek sahib ne bataya ke unko unke paas telephone aaya hai ke unke andar ek zabardast jazba jaag utha hai ke is literature ko mujhe saare saare insanon tak pahunchana hai. iske liye woh apna waqt, apna maal, apni energy sab laga laga rakha hai unhone. to aap aisi baatein kyun karte hain? dekhein, Quran mein hai ke qunoot haram hai, mayoosi haram hai. to is mein main aksar sochta hoon ke mayoosi ko Allah taala ne kyun haram kiya?
1:03:34
yaani agar bas mayoosi ke asbab maujood hon to usko haram nahin keh sakta. pehle bas mayoosi ke asbab ko khatam karna padega, tab mayoosi ko haram kar sakte hain. aap yeh namumkin hai ke Allah taala mayoosiyon ke dunya mein insaan ko chhod de aur kahe ke mayoos mat ho. dar darmiyan qaal darya takht bandam kar di batmi goyi ke daman termak hashar bash. aisa nahin ho sakta hai. doosri baat yeh hai ke sab se badi taqat Allah taala ki hai
1:04:14
jo har waqt aap ke liye, har waqt aap ke liye maujood hai, har insaan ke liye, hatta ke andhe ke liye bhi maujood hai. main aap ka kal ka tajurba aap ko batata hoon. kal, abhi kal shaam ko, Delhi ke ek ek bahut bade center mein kal ek program tha. wahan ek American professor aaye hue the, ek senior professor jo wahan par mazhab ko padhate hain. to ek bahut zabardast program tha, scholars ekatha the is mein, aur is speaker sirf do the, sirf do ko bolna tha wahan. woh jo the, woh Christian ko le kar, Christianity ko le kar bolne the, yaani Christianity and Peace, yeh unka subject tha. doosra speaker main tha, Islam and Peace.
1:05:11
ab pehli baar aisa hua meri zindagi mein ke ek senior American professor ke saath main baitha hoon, ek us ki taqreer, doosri meri taqreer. to main yaqeen kijiye ke main bilkul andar se, yaani dil mera kaanp raha tha. ab woh aadmi, us ki English, us ki madri zabaan hai, wohi hi hi hi shobay mein taleem hasil ki hai, usi ka professor hai, isi pe research kiya hai, isi ka expert hai. woh to एक American professor yahan baitha hua hai, doosri taraf mein bi tha hua hoon, mein ek madrasay ka molvi, meri taleem to molvi wali taleem hui hai. to us waqt aap yaqeen kijiye ke mere dil mein yeh aata tha ke kaash koi mujhe mil jaye bhagne ka aisa mauqa, koi wajah mil jaye, bas mein faint ho jaon ya koi aisi baat ho jaye ke mujhe ek ek ek excuse mil jaye ke mein stage chhod ke chala jaon.
1:06:12
jaise aise khayal kar raha tha, lekin zahir hai ke mein uth nahi sakta tha. mein ne Allah taala se dua ki, mein ne kaha khuda to yeh. jab aadmi diwangi mein bolta hai to ajeeb baatein bolta hai. woh jo hadith mein hai ke "rabash matfaw bilwab, la ilaha illabur" diwane ki koi zuban nahi hoti. yaad rakhiye,
1:06:50
mein ne kaha khuda to jo jibril ko dabo na bhej de zameen par. mein bator human face ke ja raha hoon aur bolne wala jibril hoon. waqea hai us waqt jo mein ne mein bola to chhodne walon se aap poochh lijiyee. ek sahib ne is ko etiraf kiya ke jo level of confidence aap ka tha woh is ka nahi tha. is christian professor ka, american professor ka, white professor tha, woh is ka level of confidence jo tha us se behtar tha aap ka level of confidence.
1:07:37
aap ghante tak bata rahe hain, mein 30 minute tak. to kaise log hain jo jin ko khuda pe bharosa nahi? log apni madi zarooraton ke liye khuda se mangna jante hain, dawat-e-Ilah ke liye mangna nahi jante.
1:08:02
mein ne aise log dekhe hain jo tadap tadap kar dua karte hain bimari ke liye, bachche ke liye, apni madi cheezon ke liye. isi tareeqe se aap Allah se mangen to Allah ke Allah ki madad will fall aap ke upar. ek kal ek ek ek ek sahib mile mujhe, ek ek ek naujawan jo ke hamare da'wati program mein lage hue hain, woh barabar kaam kar rahe hain da'wati.
1:08:45
yahan bhi aate hain to unhon ne kaha ke mein da'wati kaam to kar raha hoon, jana padta hai mujhe hinduo mein, isaiyo mein, har jagah, lekin mere level of confidence jo hai woh bohat kam hai. yahi kaha unhon ne jo confidence hona chahiye, is is is ka is se mein hi dua work kar pata hoon. to mein ne kaha ke aaj aap maujood the yahan par, yeh qissa bataya aap ne in ko, woh maujood the kal. to mujhe un se un se unhon ne poocha ke aap mujhe bataiye ke woh american professor tha aur mein ek molvi tha, dono ki taqreer suni aap ne, dono mein level of confidence ke aitbar se aap number dijiye. unhon ne kaha ke aap ka level of confidence badha hua tha. mein ne kaha badha tha, Allah hi Allah Allah se dua kar rahe the. yeh mere mere andar kuch bhi nahi tha.
1:09:41
mere andar isi ko Hazrat Masih ne kaha tha ke mango to paoge, darwaza khatkao to tumhare liye khula jayega. bohat ajeeb baat unhon ne kahi ke woh kaun baap hai ke is ka beta is se machhli mange, us ke hath mein saanp rakh de. yeh badi ajeeb taqreer hai Hazrat Masih ki Bible mein. mangu to pao ge, darwaza khatkao to tumhara is se khula jayega.
1:10:21
woh kon baap hai ke is ka beta is se machhli mange, is ke hath mein saanp rakh de. to is mission ke sath na sirf literature maujood hai, na sirf quran maujood hai, balkeh Allah taala maujood hai. Allah taala to aap farishton ke sath maujood hain. to kis baat ka khauf, kis baat ka gham? kya aap isi Allah ke sath, isi be aitimadi ke sath jiye ge to Allah ka samna kar pae ge? aap
1:11:13
jo log is be aitimadi ke sath jeena chahte hain dunya mein, woh is be aitimadi ko le kar kya Allah se milna chahte hain akhirat mein? yeh sab shaitani waswase hain. yaad rakhiye, aur jab bhi is waswase waswase aen to kahiye: "la haula wala quwwata illa billahil azeem, la haula wala quwwata illa billahil alee azeem, Allahumma inni aoozu bika min hamazat shayatine". yeh sab parhiye aur sab inshallah theek ho jayega. maulana, agla sawal karachi pakistan se hai, miss saira latif ka. unhon ne likha hai: "khawateen apna zyada tar waqt aur energy sirf khane peene aur ghar ko sanwarne mein laga deti hain.
