His answer, in his own words

maulana, yeh sawal kiya hai ms aditi sharma ne New Delhi se. unhone likha hai ke "Whenever we pray to God, is it alright if we repeat the prayer request each time we pray? Like we consider some prayer points to be prayed upon repeatedly over a long period of time, say few months or years maybe?" repeat karna bahut achhi baat hai. lekin yeh nahi samajhna ke aap ne das baar repeat kar diya to yeh ho jayega, bees baar repeat ho jayega. yeh ginti based jo repeat hai woh galat hai. yaani ginti mein koi aap samajh lein ke is mein koi mysterious koi cheez hai woh galat hai. baqi aap ne apna jo feeling hai usko aap baar baar dohraein to badi achhi baat hai.

yani repeated is not wrong. it is good. lekin gintiyon ko samajh lein aap agar das baar dohranya to yeh ho jayega, so baar dohranya to woh ho jayega. yeh bilkul galat hai. is ki koi baseless hai yeh. maulana, yeh sawal aya hai mr. shaukat ali ka sialkot pakistan se. unhon ne likha hai ke kya momin ka maqsad sirf achhe kaam kar ke jannat mein jana hai?
