. Thank you, Maulana. Jazak Allah. Maulana, agla sawal lena chahenge. yeh sawal usa se shahid sahib ne bheja hai. Unhon ne aap se poocha hai: "Maulana sahib, Who is a hypocrite and how can one identify a hypocrite? To me, it seems like twisting according to the situation is hypocrisy. Kindly give us your explanation on this subject." aap jante hain ke english mein ek lafz hai "double standard", wahi matlab hai is ka jo aadmi double standard ho. Yeh koi bohat complex baat nahi hai, bohat seedhi baat hai.

Kisi aadmi ko pehchanne ke liye ke woh hypocrite hai, ek hi din us ke sath rahen, ek to aap jaan len ke yeh double standard aadmi hai. Yeh koi mushkil kaam nahi hai. Maulana, agla sawal lete hain. yeh sawal bheja hai
