I will try to inculcate both of them to the best of my capacity. Inshallah." Maulana, agla sawal bheja hai Mr. Rajesh Bhatia ne. Unhon ne location nahi likhi hai apni. Un ka sawal hai: "How can Muslims integrate positively with non-Muslims to create harmony? Would it be right for Muslims to disown Muslims who negatively interpret Islam?" Bhai, dekhiye, main to samajhta hoon ke zindagi ke do formulay hain. Har field mein woh apply kar rahe hain.

Aap aik formula yeh hai ke aisi field duniya mein hoti hai, aisi field jahan aap aur doosra aadmi dono aik raah ke hotay hain. To is mein kya hota hai ke "I am right, you are also right." Maslan dekhiye, suraj ab ab is zamane mein yeh mana jata hai ke suraj nahi ghoom raha hai, zameen ghoom rahi hai. To is mein kya hai? Is mein sab ka aik "I am right, you are also right." Yaani har jagah ke log yeh mante hain, ehl-e-ilm ke suraj zameen suraj ke gird ghhoom rahi hai. to is mein yeh formula hai ke "i am right, you are also right." kuch aur field hai jis mein yeh formula nahi chalta.

to wahan par kya hota hai ke mutual, yani mutual discussion hota hai, aapas mein samajhte hain baaton ko aur adjust karte hain ek doosre se. yeh yeh bhi formula chal raha hai, dono formulay chal rahe hain. to aap ko jahan woh formula applicable dikhai parre ke "i am right, you are also right," us ko apply kijiye. aur jahan yeh formula aap ko applicable maloom ho ke ke jis ko hum kehte hain ke "let us agree to disagree," yeh bhi ek formula hai.
42:49
"let us agree to disagree." to jahan woh aap ne qabool ho to woh woh apply kar lijiye. yeh to zindagi ka, yani zindagi mein hota hi hota hai. aisa hai, hota hi hota hai ke kahin aap yeh formula apply karte hain, kahin woh formula apply karte hain. yani kahin to "let us agree to disagree" ka formula apply karte hain, kahin yeh formula ke "i am right, you are also right." to yeh yeh koi masla nahi hai. jis jis field mein aap deal kar rahe hon, us ko samajh lein ke woh kis kis field ki ka woh baat hai. wahan woh apply kar lijiye. mein to aise hi karta hoon. mein dono, dono, dono field mein se mujhe har aadmi ki taraf mujhe bhi nipatna parta hai.
43:54
to mein dono mein se ek formula apply kar leta hoon. to is mein, is mein, is mein mushkil kya hai? mein to koi real problem nahi samajhta is ko. maulana, agla sawal Ahmedabad se Waseem Ahmed sahib ne bheja hai. unhone likha hai: "maulana, how can a person become more responsible in life?
