29:41
aisi onton par, to safar mein kapde wupde kharab ho jate the. to woh bohat saaf suthre kapde mein aaya aur us ne kuch sawalat puche. is mein se ek sawal yeh tha ke: "tum ke Khuda ki worship aisa karo ke jaise ke tum Khuda ko dekh rahe ho, aur agar tum Khuda ko dekh nahi rahe ho to

30:47
paida karna hoga. tab hamare andar khuda ki marifat paida hogi. jaise ke sahaba log karte the ke bohat zyada namaz is tarah parhte the ke ke lambi lambi quran ki ayaten parhte the, is
31:04
par ghor o fikr karte rehte the. namaz ke baad jab masjid nabwi se bahar jate the to bhi ghor o fikr karte hue chale jate the, aapas mein baat cheet nahi karte the. to yeh ghor o fikr, tadabbur o tafakkur jo hai, yeh bohat zyada zaroori hai khuda ki marifat
