His answer, in his own words
6:43
mister naseerullah qureshi ka bangalore se sawal hai, maulana. unhon ne poocha hai ke wahi aur science mein kya farq hai? is ke bare mein bataen. kis mein? wahi aur science mein kya farq hai? dekhen, science jo hai, woh un cheezon ke mutaliq ka naam hai. nature ka mutala is ko kehte hain science. to jo cheezen hamare liye observable hon, jin ko hum nap saken, tol saken, dekh saken, is ke mutala karna yeh hai science ka maidan.

aur wahi jo hai, is ke mawara cheez hai. wahi woh cheez nahin hai jis ko aap dekh saken ya pakad saken. to ek hai tabiiyati daira, ek hai muawaz tabiiyati daira. to science ka mozu hai tabiiyati daira aur aur wahi ka mozu hai muawaz tabiiyati daira. to yeh dono ka maidan hi alag hai, is se koi nisbat nahin hai. bilkul alag alag hai. yani natural aur super natural mein jo farq hai, wahi farq dono mein paya jata hai.
