1:03:46maulana, agla sawal tamil nadu se hai, maulana iqbal umri ka. unhone likha hai: "ek mashhoor daai ne kaha ke dawat bhi sunnat hai aur siyasat bhi sunnat hai." maulana sahab, mera sawal yeh hai ke log dawat ko itna underestimate kyon karte hain aur siyasat ko itna kyon badhate hain? yeh sahi baat yeh kehna chahiye unko ke quran ke aitbaar se sunnat, quran ke aitbaar se dawat sunnat hai. humne is mein add kar liya hai ke islaahaat ko sunnat bana liya hai. yeh toh sarakshi hai, yeh sarakshi ki baatein hain. yaani Allah ne dawat ko sunnat qarar diya tha, musalmanon ne apni sarakshi ki bina par is mein sunnat ko bhi, islaahaat ko bhi bana liya sunnat.
1:04:37yeh toh sarakshi hai, aur is yeh kuch is mein sarakshi ke siwa aur kuch bhi nahin. unhein pehle pesh karna chahiye quran ki ayat, koi hadees. woh pesh nahin kar paate log. aaj tak main, main pachaas baras se challenge diya hua hoon, aaj se nahin ke koi laaye, koi hadees laaye, koi quran ki ayat. bade bade ulma ne is par, is se unhone woh kiya, lekin koi is pesh nahin kar saka koi ayat ya hadees. yeh toh khud sakhta tor par alfaaz bolte hain ke Allah ne hum par dawat farz kiya tha, humne apni taraf se is mein izafa kar ke siyasat ko farz kar liya.
1:05:20toh yeh toh sarakshi hai. jo Allah ne nahin kaha tha, us ko Allah ki taraf mansoob karte hain yeh log. maulana, agla sawal pakistan se hai, abdul latif sahab ka.
