Connecting cultural speeches to Quran
“I heard a speech by a great scholar about Muslim culture. At the end, he quoted Prophet Ibrahim saying: 'O my people! I ask no reward from you; my reward is with Allah.' My question is: after such a cultural speech, how is it to connect it to the Quran?”Asked by Shah Imran Hasan, Delhi

33:29molana, yeh sawal dilli se hai, shah imran hasan sahab ka. unhon ne likha hai: "ek bare aalim e deen ki maine taqreer suni. yeh taqreer muslim culture ke upar thi. aakhir mein unhon ne Hazrat Ibrahim ki yeh baat kahi ke aye meri qaum! main tum se koi ajr nahi mangta. mera ajr to Allah ke paas hai." molana sahib, mera sawal yeh hai ke is tarah ki cultural taqreer ke baad is ko quran se jodna kaisa hai? cultural jo musalmanon ka zehan hai, cultural identity yani shanakht woh to ek milli yani milli mamla hai, millat ka mamla hai.
34:26musalman is zamane mein bohat zyada baatein karte hain shanakht ki, identity ki. woh ek milli masla hai. woh Hazrat Ibrahim ka jo waqia hai ya doosre paighambaron ka woh da'i ka culture hai ke da'i jin logon mein daryaaon mein kaam karta hai, un se un se chanda mangna, un se faida uthana yeh is ka mizaj nahi hota hai. woh woh to yak tarafah tor par apni baat un tak pohnchanay ki koshish karta hai. woh us ko jo us ko lena hai, woh Allah se umeed rakhta hai. is ke liye woh baqi jo mad'u log hain, un se is kisi maadi cheez ki umeed de kar nahi kaam karta. woh kuch nahi. to woh woh wahan par da'wa culture ki baat hai, woh milli culture ki baat nahi hai. dono alag cheezein hain. milli culture to ek qaumi cheez hai, qaumi.
35:20ab woh to ek da'wati cheezein, bohat oonchi oonchi baat hai. woh woh alag hai, woh alag hai. okay, we will end the session now. thank you.
