maulana, agla sawal bheja hai ek srinagar se aamir mori sahab ne. unhon ne likha hai: when a reader reads quran for the first time, his heart and mind gets filled with curiosity and that how he should start it, because quran is not in a story format, it is present in verses. maulana sahab, what is your suggestion of reading the quran by non muslims or those who are reading quran for the first time? main bar bar samajhta hoon ke koi is ka formula nahi hai. quran ka tarjuma un ki understandable language mein dijiye, bas woh apne aap hi padhenge.

sari duniya mein log chahte hain padhna, yahi kafi hai. aap jahan bhi jaiye, jahan bhi jaiye, log chahte hain quran ko padhna. aap denge, woh woh padhega. is ke siwa kisi aur cheez ki zaroorat hi nahi hai. khwaja kaleemuddin sahab ne pennsylvania se comment likha hai: maulana sahab, you have unfolded islamic wisdom to us so much, but we are falling short in disseminating it. please make dua for us that allah strengthen us in this task. inshallah, inshallah.

maulana, agla sawal lete hain jo maulana iqbal umri ne bheja hai chennai se. unhon ne likha hai: maulana, aap ne jo qissa bataya, woh arabi ki ahmiyat mein tha, is liye chand log samajhte hain ke arabi ke sath phailane se ek purasrar asar parta hai mad'u par.
