Maulana, agla comment bheja hai Srinagar se Riyaz Bhatt sahib ne. Inka saval hai, Maulana, ye unhon ne pucha hai ke: "The main obstacle before Muslims to become da'is is their belief in self-glory and wishful thinking, the trait Quran has attributed to Jews of the Prophet's time." Maulana sahib, what are your views on this issue? dekhiye, ye sel glori jo hai, ye kalar kansipt hai, kalar. kyonke sel glori aap ko pasṭ mein chizen sikhata hai. ye glori jo hai, vo to pasṭ ki hai. glor, jis jo muslimanon ne jis ko glori bana rakha hai, vo pasṭ hai. yani utman aimpair ki glori, espin ki glori, abbas piriyad ki glori, ye to pasṭ ki baten hain.

to sel glori jo hai, apne aap mein ek kalar, kalar, kalar kansipt hai, kalar qatil. kyonke aap ko pasṭ mein jina sikhata hai. sahi kansipt vo hai jo aap ko prezenṭ mein aur fiūchr mein jina sikhaye. pasṭ to khatm ho gaya, ab vo us ke us mein jine se fals, yani ek fals praiḍ aega aur kuch nahin aega. to glori mein jina, fals praiḍ mein jina hai. sahi ye hai ke aap prezenṭ mein jiyen ya fiūchr mein jiyen, tab aap ki taraqqi hogi.
