Maulana, agla sawal Dilli se hai, Miss Razia Siddiqui ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "You mentioned that the present day Muslims are a case of living in pride as far as the community is concerned and harboring hatred for all others. What is the cause of this behavior of Muslims?" Yeh bhi wahi degeneration ya zawaal ki wajah se hai. Hamesha aise hi hota hai. Yeh yehud mein hua tha. Doosron ke liye nafrat, apne liye pride. Yeh hamesha jo bhi qaum zawaal ka shikaar hoti hai uska yahi anjaam hota hai. Yeh sab zawaal ke phenomena hain.

Zawaal ka matlab hai degeneration. To is zamane ke jo Musalman jo hain un ka case yahi hai. Asal case jo hai woh zawaal ka case hai. Is ka phenomena hai yeh nafrat aur fakhr dono. nafrat aur fakhr asal nahi hai. asal jo hai woh to zawal hai. yeh to hona hi hona hai jab tak aap in ko dobara degenerate na karein. phir in ke andar yani nai soch na laein. in ko phir se yani living religion par khara na karein.

tab tak yeh aise hi rahega. molana, agla sawal dilli se hai, molana zakwan nadvi ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Molana sahib, in today's talk you narrated the hadith about the best and the worst place on earth.
