Maulana, agla sawal Dilli se kiya hai Miss Naghma Siddiqui ne aur unhone likha hai: "Maulana, you said political power is for stability. How can people be made to understand this? pliz giv as yor gaidans." dekhein, quran mein kahin bhi yeh nahi hai ke iqam daulat al-islam nafi shariat al-islamiyah kahin nahi hai. yani ke is ke baad jo lafz hai, woh tamkeen ka lafz hai: "alladhina makkanna fi al-ard." to islam mein hukoomat ka purpose tamkeen hai, yani stebiliti.

naafiz nizam ka naafiz karna yeh hai hi nahi. kyun? asal jo kaam hai, woh dawat Allah ka kaam, islaahi akhlaq, social islaah, akhlaqi islaah aur literature zamane ke mutabiq literature tayyar karna. jo asal kaam hai, is ke liye sirf stebiliti chahiye, hamein pis chahiye. baqi jo log bana rakha hai, us ko agar aap asal banayenge to raaj ho raha hoga. is ki misaal misr hai ke misr mein unhone banaya yeh ke justice qaim karna. justice party banayi unhone to 60 saal se lad rahe hain, bas lad rahe hain, lad rahe hain, kuch bhi, kuch bhi nahi hua. jabke misr mein dunya ki bohat zyada tadad aati thi, aati hai touriston ki.

yeh tourist jo hai, saare ke saare muaddal mad'u hain hamare liye. itna bara chance kho kho diya unhone 60 saal mein kyunke unko islam pahuncha nahi hai. bhai, lar rahe hain jo hukumat aati hai, usay larte hain ke justice qaim karo. is liye goal jo hai, wahi rahega jis se jo jo quran mein hai, yani taqeen, stability, is ki bane, is ko bane, is ki sharait sharah karti hui kaha ke stability se sare islam ke kaam anjam paate hain. yeh taleem hai, dawat hai, jo islam ka asal kaam hai, yani spirit ka revival hai, woh sab ke liye stability chahiye.

stability se aati hai peace aur peace se sari opportunities khulti hain. maulana, agla ek comment parhna chahenge jo miss farhana tahir sahibah ne bheja hai USA se aur unhon ne likha hai ke aap ne pichle lecture mein bilkul sahi kaha tha ke muslims agar tashaddud na karein to muslims bilkul azaad hain. western log bohat achhe hain. nine eleven ke baad kuch waqeat hue musalman ke khilaaf lekin mostly jo log yahan par hain, woh achhe hain. main hamesha apne husband se kehti hoon ke sab ko muskara kar greet karo. as we are ambassadors of islam, we should think positively and love them so that we can convey the message of islam to them.

maulana, ek aur comment aur sawal aaya hai miss salma ka pakistan se. un ka comment jo hai, pehle woh padhte hain. unhon ne likha hai ke while distributing your tazkir, maulana sahib, i have discovered that giving full tazkir with commentary to students of deeni madrasa is more beneficial than just giving them only the translation. my question is in one of your lectures while explaining the hadith of Ghazwa-e-Hind, you had mentioned about the good news of the Muslims of Hind which was mentioned in the hadith. do the Muslims who reside in Pakistan are also included in it or not? what is your opinion in this?

kya baat hai? samjhaein ke maulana, woh jo Ghazwa-e-Hind ke hawale se jo hadith hai, hmm, ke mujhe wahan se thandi hawaein aati hain, to woh yeh janna chahti hai ke kya is Ghazwa-e-Hind ke is se tha? to kya pakistan bhi is mein included hai? abhi aaye pakistan, aap ne koi hind ka part samjha to hai? pakistan ne apne ko hind ka part samjha hai to zaroor hai. woh kya khayal hai aap ka? ji, ji, maulana, is the same subcontinent. so in that context, ah, it can be construed as yes. haan, poora subcontinent mein to yahi samajhta hoon, poora subcontinent is ka is mein included hai.

ji, maulana, agla sawal rizwan sahib ne bheja hai. unhon ne location nahi likhi hai. un ka sawal yeh hai ke how to avoid distractions of the world and be focused?
