Extremist na baniye. to sab peace hi peace hai. sab peace hi peace hai. yeh galat soch hai ke rai ke ikhtilaf se tashaddud aata hai. tashaddud aata hai ghulu se, jis ko kehte hain extremism. Maulana, agla sawal Riyaz Bha t sahib ne srinagar se bheja hai. unhon ne likha hai: "Some of my friends have an opinion that Islamic sharia is actually reformed Arab tribal law.

ghair ilmi jawab bhi hai. sharia wahi hai. sharia ka jo nikala hai, jo un jamaaton ne jo islami nizam ki alambardar hain, woh to ghulu ka case hai.

woh woh wahi hai ke woh shariat mein, yani hadith mein ya quran mein jo baatein kahi gayi hain, wohi shariat hai. yeh to bilkul hi yani yeh yeh baatein jo kahi jati hain ke shariat jo hai, woh tribal laws se talluq hai, is ka yeh bilkul
31:51
bilkul baseless baatein hain. khwamkhwah ki baatein hain. maulana, agla sawal yoot maharashtra se farhan khan sahab ne bheja hai.
