Maulana, agla sawal hai Tamil Nadu se Maulana Iqbal Umri sahib ka. unhon ne aapse poocha hai ke dawat aur ibadat mein kya farq hai? ibadat to har aadmi ka farz hai. yani jab aap Allah par iman rakhte hain aur Allah ki qurbat chahte hain to ibadat ka jazba paida hota hai. to jo kehte hain sirat-ul-abd bi rabbih us ke is ke tehat jo kaam kiya jata hai, us ko hum ibadat kehte hain. aur dawat jo hai, doosron tak Allah ka paigham pahunchana.

to kaha yeh keh sakte hain ke ibadat ek ek zaati satah par Allah ke deen ko ikhtiyar karne ka naam hai. aur dawat doosron ki satah par Allah ke deen ko pahunchane ka naam hai. ek ek ek internal hai, ek external hai. yeh farq hai. Maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai, Mr. Ramakant Swami, jinhon ne aap se poocha hai ke How can I become the son of the great God?
