maulana, agla sawal aya hai miss sadia khan ka, dilli se. unhone likha hai: "it is true indeed that the nature of angels' persuasion is passive, and that of satan's is active. however, that the nature of persuasion of these entities is the cause of man's greater inclination towards the bad is unclear. please explain." dekhiye, unclear ki baat nahi hai. allah taala ne jo jannat banai hai to us ki koi price dena parega na insaan ko?

free bus jannat nahi mile gi. eternal law hai, wahan hoga. woh ideal world hoga. woh perfect world hoga. eternally aadmi wahan life guzare ga. to us ki koi price honi chahiye. film kaise mile gi price? price yahi hai. price yahi hai ke shaitan, shaitan ka jo influence hai, agarche woh active hai, phir bhi aap us ko by side karein. farishton ka influence, agarche woh passive hai, us ko aap sunein aur pakrein us ko.

to yeh to price hai paradise ki. kuch to price allah taala ko muqarrar karna tha. to yahi price hai. shaitan ka influence agarche active hai, aap ko usay yani apne ko us se bachana hai. aur farishton ka impulse agarche passive hai, us ki taraf aap ko daurna hai. yeh jahan fail ho jaye to phir us ke liye paradise nahi hai.
