“Moulana, I read an incident in your diary that a man came to you with the intention of attacking. You threw him to the ground and sat on his chest. Instead of giving him dawah, why did you do that? That was against your mission. What was the reason?”Asked by ڈاکٹر محمد قمر, علی گڑھ

maulana, agla sawal ali garh se aya hai doctor muhammad qamar sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana sahib, diary mein aap ka ek waqia parha ke aap ke pas ek aadmi hamla karne ki niyat se aya tha. aap is ko zameen par patak kar is ke seenay par charh gaye. is aadmi ko dawat dene ki bajaye aap ne is ke sath aisa kyun kiya? yeh to aap ke mission ke khilaf tha. maulana sahib, is ki kya wajah thi?" mein bohat dukh khul gaya tha. mein ne is ko mein ne mana kiya. pehlay neeche neeche tha. phir mein ne kaha ke aap neeche rakhiye, mein aata hoon. phir woh oopar aa gaya. mein ne kaha aap yahan oopar kyun aa gaye? aap neeche baithiye. phir charh raha tha woh.

charha charha ja raha tha oopar. to is ko to humein yahi karna tha. abhi mein ne ghar par pakar liya. to mein kya karta hoon is ko? mein ne ghar par pakar liya. bilkul ek ek bohat hi critical position thi. is waqt har aadmi yahi karega. is waqt har aadmi yahi karega. is mein shakk liya hai is ka muamla ke mein fajar ki namaz parh kar ke masjid se ghar lauta to wahan ek sahib maujood thay. to mein ne kaha ke aap in ka ke aap yahan neeche baithiye, mein abhi aata hoon. oopar oopar ja kar ke abhi wapas aaunga. to baithe nahi woh.

phir charhne lagay. charh ke oopar tak pohanchay. mein ne kaha aap oopar kaise aa gaye? mein ne kaha ke aap baithiye. to kya kiya unhon ne ke mera ghar par pakar liya. to is waqt zahiri taur par kya karta? aur to kuch nahi kar sakta tha. phir jo shor gul hua to woh aa gaye. hamare colony ke jo woh hain, jo chokidar log, guard log, to is ko pakar le gaye. yeh bohat ajeeb ghareeb aap ka. ab mein kehta hoon ke aap ne soche baghair yeh yeh likh diya apna sawal.
