maulana, agla sawal bhopal se aaya hai shamshuddin sahib ka aur unho ne likha hai ke maulana, you said today that muslims are stick in history and that they live in pride. any leader who stands to correct this is not accepted and as a result the problem continues. so how will muslims change as this has become a vicious circle now ? please advice. bhai, dekhiye, main samajhta hoon ke ek hi hal hai ke hum is soch ko quran se judge karein.

yeh soch hai kya woh quran ke mutabiq hai ya nahi? to quran se judge karna hi ek waahid tareeqa hai aur har maamle mein, is maamle mein bhi aur har maamle mein bhi humein chahiye ke hum quran se judge karein. quran mein agar hum paate hain is ko to is ko is ko qaim rahein, nahi to hum is ko chhod dein. masjid rasool ki saza agar quran mein nahi hai to is ko chhod dijiye kyunke Allah ke samne kya jawab denge aap?
