maulana, agla sawal bheja hai maulana iqbal umri ne chennai se. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, ek sawal hai: agar aap ko khuda par yaqeen karne ke liye quran na hota to universe kafi tha? yani quran ka kya role hai aap ki imani zindagi mein? is ke bare mein bataein." quran jo hai, book of guide hai. universe jo hai, universe to jisko kehte hain

43:06
aap ko shaq ho to aap yeh kijiye ke kisi tafseer ko lijiye, kisi bhi tafseer ko, aur us ko parh kar ke aap mujhe bataiye ke is mein aap ko take away kya mila. isi mein jawab mil jaye ga aap ko. maulana, kuch un ka ek aur sawal hai. maulana, unho ne likha hai:
