His answer, in his own words
43:58
maulana, agla sawal boston se asad parvez sahib ne bheja hai. unhone likha hai: "maulana, it was a very hopeful lecture. many people say that going to paradise is difficult. is that correct? kya jannat jana mushkil hai?" hargiz nahi. aap is ki shart poori keejiye. condition woh yeh hai ke aap apne aap ko deejie Allah ke cause mein. aap ke paas jo paisa hai, jo energy hai, jo time hai, is ko deejie Allah ke cause mein. to jannat se ziyada aasan koi cheez nahin.
44:43
lekin aap kuch na dein, apna paisa aap idhar udhar zaya karein, apna energy idhar udhar zaya karein, apna time idhar udhar zaya karein. to zahir hai ke aisi haalat mein kyun aap ko jannat mile gi? Maulana Aamir Mory sahib ne, Aamir Mory sahib ne gawah se likha hai: "My take away from today lecture is that we should always live in Alhamdulillah culture. We have been blessed with infinite items of shukr, which should definitely make us grateful towards God. Thank you Maulana for instilling this spirit in us.
45:32
My question is that what is the criteria of hoping that God will bless us more than what we desire in the hereafter?" is ke bare mein bataein. dekhiye, Quran ka jo chautha para hai: "lan tanalbirratan faqooru min muhibbeen", aap ki jo mehboob cheez hai, us ko aap dein Allah ke liye. aap ka maal, aap ke time, aap ki energy, jo aap ko mehboob hai, woh dein Allah ke liye. yeh nahin ho sakta ke apni mehboob cheez to aap kahin aur dein aur Allah aap ko jannat de de. yeh nahin ho sakta. apni mehboob cheez ko aap ko Allah ke mission mein dena pare ga.
46:24
tab to farishtay aap ke intezar mein kharay honge ke ... lekin agar aap ki mehboob cheez kahin aur aap dein to phir aap ko umeed nahin rakhni chahiye ke farishtay aap ke intezar mein kharay honge. Maulana, yeh sawal Kashmir se Riyaz Ahmed sahib ne bheja hai, jo engineer hain aur is waqt class mein maujood hain.
