His answer, in his own words
33:01
Muhammad Rafiq Tesse wale sahab ne sawal bheja hai. Woh aap se jaanna chahte hain ke Quran ka tarjuma padhna chahiye ya tafseer padhni chahiye? Bhai, na tafseer kaafi hai, na tarjuma kaafi hai. Asal cheez to tadabbur hai. Tadabbur ke baghair aap Quran ki aap par Quran ke maani nahin khulenge. Maulana, Uzair Afzal sahab ne sawal bheja hai. Unhon ne likha hai: "Quran padhne mein dil kaise lag sakta hai aur samajhne ke liye kya zaroori baaten hain?" Kya phir se padhiye? Quran padhne mein dil kaise lag sakta hai aur samajhne ke liye kya zaroori baaten hain?
