45:57
hope people learn lessons from it. very meaningful lecture." apaa agla sawal ab mein lena chahunga, yeh bheja hai ah, yeh bhi basit sahib ne bheja hai delhi se, unhon ne likha hai ke: "supporters of blasphemy law side the killing of a poet as proof. why is it wrong to side it as a proof?" is ke bare mein bataein, mere khayal se yeh shayad ka'ab bin ashraf ka acha ka zikr kar rahe hain. ka'ab bin ashraf ka mamla jo tha, asal mein is ko yak tarfa taur par dekhte hain hum ke sirf rasool allah ki woh shatm karta tha, aisa nahi hai. woh madina ki jo riyasat thi, us ke khilaf tha, woh us se ghaddari karta tha, baghavat kar raha tha. is buniyad par us ko rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne waisa karwaya tha.
46:51
woh us ka case nahi tha, shatm rasool ka case nahi tha. woh jitne logon ko bhi rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne qatl karwaya, asal mein baghavat ka case tha. woh riyasat se us ke muqable mein dekhiye, jo jo log khalis kehte hain ke shatm rasool ka mamla, us par kisi ko nahi marwaya tha. hazrat abu huraira ki maa thi, koi baghavat nahi tha un ka. unhon ne keh diya to rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne us ke liye dua kiya. isi tarike se ah, hunain ke mauqe par, aakhri rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ki zindagi ka aakhri mauqa hai, hunain ka. hunain ke mauqe par ek aadmi ne aa kar keh diya: "allah! aye rasool!
47:27
aye muhammad! tum ne insaaf se kaam nahi liya." rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ko bohat takleef hui thi us waqt, aur hazrat umar ne uth kar kaha tha ke: "ah, aap agar ijazat dein to mein us ko qatl karoon." to rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne un ko qatl karne nahi diya tha. to yeh khalis jo kehte hain, pure shatm wala mamla, blasphemy wala mamla, us mein kisi ne qatl nahi kiya. in logon ko qatl kiya gaya jo baghavat karte the. to zahir si baat hai, jo baghavat karega, kabhi rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ko gaali bhi dega, kabhi riyasat ke khilaf bhi jayega. yeh sari cheezein us mein hoti hain. to sirf ek cheez le kar kahenge to aise shatm karne wale bohat sare the, us ko maaf kiya tha. is se yahi maloom hota hai ke shatm ke mamle par nahi qatl kiya gaya tha ka'ab bin ashraf ko ya doosre logon ko qatl nahi kiya gaya tha. woh baghavat ka case tha. haan, yeh ah, farhad sahib, mujhe bhi yaad aa raha hai ke it was a case of treason.
48:16
ah, un ka ta'alluq jo hai, woh shayad ah, banu ah, quraiza ya ah, is is tribe se tha. aur us time pe ek agreement bhi hua tha prophet ka between the jewish tribes ah ke jo bahar ke enemies hain, un ke sath aap koi bhi ta'alluq ya koi support nahi k renge. Lekin Ka'b bin Ashraf ne na na kewal ah, un se contact kiya balkeh planning kari. تو it is like کہ آپ جیسے آج کے لحاظ سے اگر آپ دیکھیں کہ اگر ہم انڈیا mein rehte hain aur India mein rehte hue hum kisi aur country ke sath ah, yeh planning karein
48:53
ke koi enemy hamari country mein aaye aur woh India pe attack kare, ya similarly aap jis country mein rehte hain aur aap ka citizen doosri country ke sath yeh planning kare ya plot kare ah ke us country pe attack ho, to natural hai ke aaj ka bhi jo ah, justice system hai, woh is ko treason ke level pe lega aur is ki saza ah, yaqeenan ah, is ki
49:17
saza ah, ah, maut hi ho gi. to yeh woh wala ah, aspect tha, na ke ah ke ek poet ne kuch kaha aur us ko phir saza di gayi. aur jaise apaa ne bhi abhi example diya ke ah, abdullah ibn abi ka jo waqia hai ke woh he was a leader of the hypocrites, but un ki natural death hui. in fact, ek ibn taimiya ki kitab mein yeh bhi zikr hai ke abu quafa, jo abubakar ke father the, ah, un ke hawale se bhi aaya. aur abubakar ne, hazrat abubakar ne prophet ko kaha ke ah, mein un ka qatl karta hoon, lekin prophet ne idhar bhi un ko mana kiya. sirf yeh ek case hai jis ko aksar log generalize karte hain, but woh tamam log jo prophet ke khilaf the, ah, prophet ke against unhon ne plot kiya, ah, un sab ko maaf kiya gaya.
50:06
ah, jaise ah, main ne jo abhi bhi example diya tha, ah, woh Badr ke mauqe mein bhi, Uhud ke mauqe mein bhi, Trench ke mauqe mein bhi, aur jab Fatah Makkah jab fateh hua, tab bhi woh prophet ke ah, khilaf aaye, lekin ah, un ko maaf kar diya gaya, balkeh uhda bhi diya gaya. to ah, yeh ek ah, jo hai, its its a wrong attribution ah, in in in the aspect of that why they were killed. ah, apa agla sawal ah, main leta hoon, ah, yeh Azhar Siddiqui sahib ka hai Gwalior se. ah, unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke how should Muslims have responded to satanic verses and the cartoon issue?
