Muslims' unawareness despite knowing Quran

“In our day-to-day dawah activities, we often talk of giving the Quran to non-Muslims so that they may understand God's creation plan and discover the right path. In contrast, Muslims, despite knowing God's creation plan and the essence of the Quran, are leading their lives on the wrong path. My question is: what is the reason for this unawareness, and how can we address it?”Asked by Amir Jan Maury, Kashmir

Maulana, yeh sawal Kashmir se aaya hai Aamir Jan Mori sahib ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "In a day to day dawah activities, we often talk of giving Quran to non-Muslims, so that they could understand the creation plan of God and discover the right path. in contrast to it, muslims despite of knowing the creation plan of god and essence of quran, are leading their life in the wrong path." Maulana sahib, my question is: "what is the reason for this unawareness and how can we address it?" dekhen, yeh islaah ka kaam bohat lambi koshish ke baad hota hai. Musalmanon ki islaah jo nahi hui, is ki wajah yeh hai ke saray musalmanon ko jo likhnay aur bolnay walay thay, aik taraf to kya kar rahay hain? nafrat phaila rahay hain

ghair muslim ke khilaf, kafir ke khilaf, west ke khilaf. To nafrat ka jo zehn hai, woh rog ban jata hai islaah ke liye. sab se bari rukawat jo hai musalmanon ke islam mein yeh hai ke un ki jo negative thinking hai, jab tak aap negative thinking ko khatam na karein, tab tak koi islaah nahi ho sakti, kuch bhi islaah nahi ho sakti. har jagah negative thinking, aap ke kashmiri negative thinking hain, saare kashmiri jo hain negative thinking mein mubtala hain. saare arab dunya,

koi na koi dushman daryaft kar rakha hai, har ek ne. har jagah ke logon ne ek kuch dushman daryaft kar rakha hai, us ko le kar ke negative bane hue hain. dekhein, jab tak musalmanon ke andar se negative thinking khatam na ki jaye, tab tak koi islaah nahi ho sakti. heer iz de starting point. maulana, yeh sawal kiya hai makan khan sahib ne. unhone apni location nahi likhi hai, par un ka sawal yeh hai: "maulana, weather it is necessary to follow one maslak or i can follow the maslak ahle hadees
1:02:26
which does not follow any particular imam's maslak?" is ke bare mein aap batayein. is par dekhiye, hum ne tafseel se likha hai. hamari kitab aap padh lijiye, is ka naam hai "tajdeed deen". pehle aap is kitab ko padhiye, phir sawal kijiye. yeh jo yeh jo masle phailaye, is qism ke sawalat phailaye hue hain musalmanon mein, isi par yeh kitab hai "tajdeed deen". to aap pehle is kitab ko padhiye, ek baar nahi, do baar padhiye, phir jo sawal aap ke zehen mein aata hai, woh woh sawal kijiye. main inshallah is ka jawab doonga.

maulana, yeh sawal tamil nadu se aaya hai maulana iqbal ahmad umri ka. unhone likha hai: "maulana, ek sahib ne kaha nuclear power ka daur hai, is mein peace ka mahol kaise barqarar ho sakta hai?
