Maulana, agla sawal bheja hai Maulana Iqbal Umri sahib ne. Unhon ne apna comment aur question kiya hai. Unhon ne likha hai: "Tajdeed ka matlab derailment ko jaan kar ummat ki rehnumai karna aur isi tarah daur ke laiq rehnumai karna. Maulana, tajdeed ka faida kya hai aur is ko na samjhe to nuqsan kya hoga? Is ke bare mein bataein." Ek faida to main ne arz kar diya ke derailment mein jo Musalmanon ki gaadi parties hat gayi hain, us ko phir lana par rahi hai. misal ke taur par jang ko Islam samajh liya, us ko lana ke Islam to peacefull da'wah ka naam hai. Ya ahl-e-maghrib ko kaha ke yeh Islamophobia mein mubtala hai, us ko phir se batana ke yeh to khidmat-e-Islam hai.

to jo derailment hua hai, us ko khatam karna aur party ko dobara sahi par gaadi ko sahi dobara sahi party par lana, yahi hai tajdeed. Miss Ayesha Sajid Anwar ne Delhi se likha hai: "Maulana, from today's lecture, I finally have the answer to the question that my fellow mates keep asking me: What is wrong with Islam or what is wrong with people who follow Islam? The phenomenon of derailment answers these questions. I have gained a new dimension for da'wah work." Miss mein mashallah, mashallah.

Miss Meh Jafiaaz ne Delhi se likha hai: "My understanding from today's lecture is that due to unawareness among various Muslim scholars, Islam couldn't get the right shape. The wrong interpretations defamed Islam . The main aim of a good Muslim should be to rectify these things." Thank you Maulana. Sahi, sahi baat hai. Maulana, agla sawal lete hain.
