21:29
maulana, agla sawal haiderabad se aaya hai misster zeeshan yusuf ka. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke is dua "made by prophets" always accepted by Allah. is there any case when prophet Muhammad asked something in dua, but Allah did not accept it? haan, is ki maujood hai. ummat ke liye dua ki thi aap ne, woh Allah taala ne qabool nahi ki. khud rasool Allah ne farmaya ke qabool nahi hui. kya cheez qabool nahi hui thi? sab bahmi ikhtilaf hain.
22:06
bahmi ikhtilaf. rasool Allah sal Allah alaihi wasallam ne dua ki Allah taala se ke meri ummat mein bahmi ikhtilaf na ho, bahmi ikhtilaf na ho. lamba sajda kiya tha aap ne, to aap ne khud farmaya ke yeh qabool nahi hui. to is ka maani hai ke jab musalman bahmi ikhtilaf kar ke apas mein, yani aik doosray ke negative ban jayen, nafratain karain aur buraiyan phailayen, jhootay ilzamat lagayen, dekhen, bahmi ikhtilaf sadah baat nahi hai.
22:44
bahmi ikhtilaf ke do maani hain. aik yeh hai jis ko kehtay hain "dissent". dissent yani ikhtilafi rai ka izhaar. decent is very good. decent mein koi kharabi nahi hai. d i double s e n t. decent mein koi kharabi nahi hai. woh koi burai nahi hai. woh lekin yeh buri cheez hai ke aap kisi se aap ko ikhtilaf ho to aap us ke dushman ban jayen, us ko badnaam karen, jhoote ilzaam lagayen, us ka character assassination karen. yeh sab yeh sab buri cheezain hain. to is se Allah Rasool Allah ne dua ki thi ke yeh meri qom is mein na mubtala ho, is burai mein.
23:28
to dua qabool nahi hui. kyunke agar yeh agar Allah taala is ummat ko is se, yani is se woh kar de, mehfooz kar de, to un ka imtehan kis cheez mein hoga? un ka test kis cheez mein liya jayega? to test khatam ho jata tha. is liye qabool nahi hui dua. to musalmanon ko bohat zyada darna chahiye is baat se ke ikhtilaf kar ke jo aaj kal aam hai, aam jahan ikhtilaf hua, foran jhooti baaten phailane lage is ke baray mein.
24:03
jahan ikhtilaf hua, ilzaam tarashi, aib zani, yahan se shuru kar di. to yeh woh maqam hai jahan aik Allah aur Rasool ka saath dene wale nahi hain. jo is mein mubtala hoga, to us ko Allah aur Rasool ka saath nahi milega. aap ko decent ka haq bilashuba hai, decent ka daleel ke saath. lekin kisi ka character assassination, kisi ki aib zani, kisi ki ilzaam tarashi, jhoota badnaam karna, yeh bilashuba haram se bhi zyada buri cheez hai. is mein koi shaq nahi hai.
