“People mix up between ijtihad and taqwa. They say the way we refrain from doubtful things, we should also refrain from doing ijtihad due to the fear of going wrong. Please clarify between these two matters.”Asked by Mr. Khwaja Kaleemuddin, Pennsylvania
Maulana agla sawal Pennsylvania se aaya hai Mr. Khawaja Kaleemuddin ka. Unhone likha hai, "Maulana sahib, people mix up between ijtihad and taqwa. They say the way we refrain from doubtful things, we should also refrain from doing ijtihad due to the fear of going wrong. Please clarify between these two matters." yeh to maine arz kiya ke khud sakhta baat hai yeh jab Quran jab Hadees mein khud hai ke ghalti karo ge tab hi sawab mile ga to aap hum hamein is se ruknay ka kya hum kyun ruken taqwa ka jo lafz hai woh woh to khuli khuli burai ke liye bas
sharab na piyen khinzir na khayen ijtihad ka yani ijtihad aik alag cheez hai taqwa jo hai yeh hai ke namaz chhor dein mislan hum sharab peenay lagay hain khinzir khayen to wahan taqwa ka masla aata hai ijtihad ka masla bilkul alag hai ijtihad to yeh hai ke ek surat aal paida hui hai is mein kya sochen hum
misla is zamane mein wataniyat ko qomiyat ki buniyad bana liya gaya is par sochna to is ka is ka yeh khinzir aur sharab jaisi cheez thodi hai is mein hum sochenge agar ghalti ho jayegi tab bhi hamein sawab milega to ijtihad ka masla alag hai taqwa ka masla alag hai dono mein confuse nahi karna chahiye. maulana agla sawal kya hai maulana amanullah ne delhi se unhone likha hai ke maulana istikhara kya hai is ka tareeqa kar kya hai kya is ki koi sharaait bhi hain
