Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se kiya hai Mr. Sagar ne aur unhon ne likha hai What is the available, what is the amicable solution of political instability in Central Asia? How can we protect Islam from misinterpretation in this era of globalization? Mein dekhen, yeh political sawal hai. mujhe political sawalat se koi dilchaspi nahi. Baqi mein bator principle ke yeh manta hoon ke dawat ka kaam jo hai woh sab masle ka hal hai. Dawat Allah ka kaam agar hum karen to is se kya hota hai?

Party thinking aati hai. Insan ke liye sympathy aati hai. aur parties mein itna zyada involvement logon ka woh ghaTta hai. Yani power ki jo dhoom machi hui hai, sab log sochte hain ke kya power milna hai ya na milna hai, dono barabar hain. to realistic approach aata hai. Da'wah ka kaam karen jo dilon ko aap mutasir karenge. Un ke andar modesty aayegi.

realistic approach aye ga. doosron ke liye sympathy aye gi. peaceful yani yani thinking aye gi. to sab cheezain durust hon gi. main daikhain, kisi bhi maslay ka koi short term hal nahi hota. log daurtay hain short term hal par. main daikhain, kisi cheez ka bhi, yeh social mamlaat ya national mamlaat ya international mamlaat mein koi bhi short term solution possible hi nahi.

logon ko acha lagta hai, daurtay hain isi ke liye. sirf is tarah ke mamlaat mein sirf long term solution hi work karta hai. aur woh is ko hum kar rahay hain. hum agarche hamara mission, political mission nahi hai, lekin jo hum dawat Allah ka hum kaam kar rahay hain, indirect way mein isi mein saray cheezon ka solution hai. indirect tor par hamara jo dawat Allah ka mission hai, woh direct tor par is ki dawat ka mission hai. lekin indirect way mein wohi solution hai saray mamlaat ka. maulana, agla sawal modi nagar se kiya hai bilal sahab ne aur unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke Maulana How can I know whether the dawah work done by me is acceptable to God?
