“Why is it that Muslims do not understand that if someone like Salman Rushdie has done something wrong, he needs all the more attention from us to reform him, to set his thinking right? By hating a person, we distance that person further from the right thinking, from the truth. Please explain.”Asked by Dr. Fareeda Khanam, Delhi
Maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ka, dilli se. Unhon ne likha hai Why is it that Muslims do not understand that if someone like Salman Rushdie has done something wrong, he needs all the more attention from us to reform him, to set his thinking right? By hating a person, we distance that person further from theright thinking, from the truth. Please explain. aakhri mein is zamane mein kuch aise halaat paida hue ke musalman jo hain nafrat mein mubtala ho gaye. Nafrat yaani ek qaumi yeh ban gayi woh musalmanon ki. Yaani qaumi mizaj ban gaya musalmanon ka. Nafrat, nafrat, nafrat. Har ek se nafrati hai bas in ko.
Yeh qaumi mizaj ban gaya hai. Is ke zimmedaar hamare leader hain. Yaani aalim aur aur Mr. dono ne yahi kaam kiya hai. Toh ek ek nafrat jo hai woh nasal dar nasal chal rahi hai. Jisko kehte hain atomistic instinct ban gayi musalmanon ki. Atomistic instinct musalmanon ki ban gayi hai. Toh ab is ko khatam karne ke liye hamein jar se chalna padega. Aur yaani is mizaj ko khatam karna padega jo mizaj nasal dar nasal banta chala aa raha hai. Isi ka hum koshish kar rahe hain inshallah. Aur jo log yahan aate hain barabar hamari class mein, un mein inshallah yeh baatein nahi hoti hain. Jo hamara literature padhta hai, jo barabar class mein aata hai,
Toh woh is ko hate se matlab nahi hai. Woh positive thinking se matlab hota hai is ko. Toh bas bataun ke zyada se zyada kitabein padhai jayen. Yahi hal hai is ka. Maulana, agla sawal Mr. Idrees ka hai, Rai Pur se. Unhone likha hai Maulana Sahib, there is a new trend in mosques to use loudspeakers for doing dua.
