Maulana, agla sawal Bangalore se aaya hai, Maulana Naseerullah Qureshi sahab ka. Unhon ne likha hai: Jab Rasool Allah par pehli wahi nazil hui to Jibrael ne Rasool ko kyun dabucha? Wazahat farmayen. Dabucha nahin hai, embrace kiya. Dabucha matlab nahin hai, embrace kiya. Matlab seenay se lagaya. To pehla tajurba tha Rasool Allah sal Allahu alaihi wasallam ko.

Aur koi is mein koi mysterious baat nahin hai. Aap bhi kisi dost se achaanak milen, pachaas saal ke baad, to woh kuch shakk se dekhega aap ko ke pata nahin yeh wahi koi doosra aadmi hai. To aap us ko gale mil jayenge, embrace karenge. Taake us ki dehshat khatam ho. Us ki ajnabiyat khatam ho. Bas itni si baat hai, koi is mein mystery nahin hai. Maulana, agla sawal Karachi se aaya hai, Miss Samiya Latif ka. Unhon ne likha hai: Jannat har lehaz se ek perfect jagah hai, jis ke baray mein insaan soche to us ke jism mein ek thrill paida ho jaye.
