maulana, agla sawal calcutta se hai doctor roshan kumar jha ka . unhon ne likha hai: "maulana sahib, I have heard from so many Muslims saying that all the Muslims will enter into paradise irrespective of their deeds in this world. If any Muslim is bad, he will first be put into Hell and after punishment, in the end, all the Muslims will be given Paradise. They say that at the time of death of Prophet Muhammad, Allah said keh aap ki ummat ke sath acha sulook karunga.
45:24
They also say that non-Muslims will never enter into Paradise. Maulana sahib, what is your comment on this? Dekhein, isi ko maine kaha hai ke living in falsehood yeh sab false food mein jeena hai, bilkul hi is ki koi sarpar nahi hai in baaton ka. Quran mein dekhein, yeh hai ke lays bi amani kum wa la amani ahl al-kitab man ya'mal so yujza bi yani amani ka matlab hota hai wishful thinking, yani tumhari wishful thinking par kuch nahi hoga, na doosre jo ummaten hain, un ki wishful thinking se kuch hoga. Jo jaisa karega, waisa payega.

Lays lil insani illa ma sa to Musalmanon ka isi ko to main kehta hoon ke Musalman false food mein jeete hain, khud hi bana rakha hai sab ek poora false food ka ek ek ek jhaad jhankad. Aur jab tak Musalmanon ko is false food se bahar na laya jaye, tab tak un ka kuch bhi, yani kuch bhi nahi hone wala hai, kuch bhi nahi hone wala. Aisi negativity mein jiyenge, negativity mein marenge. Maulana next question is from Sweden by Mr. Mathias. He has written: "What role does rational thinking have for using methods of non-violence?" It's a very important question.
47:05
I think that non-violence or peace is basic to all kinds of thinking. Without a peaceful mind, without non-violent thinking, you cannot understand anything. Because peaceful thinking makes you sincere, well-wisher to all, makes you objective. And when you are objective and scientific mind, then you can understand things in theright way. So I am a great advocate of peaceful thinking or non-violent thinking.
47:58
According to my analysis and according to my experience, peace is the samambodha in Islam. Without peace, there is no development at all . All those things that Islam wants to promote, for example, da'wah work, ibadat, constructive work, ilm, all those things that are required in Islam cannot be carried out properly without peace. So peace is very, very important. And you know, the method of greeting in Islam is Assalamu Alaikum It means peace be upon you.
49:00
It means that Islam wants to promote peace culture. Our way of greeting is Assalamu Alaikum It is not only for Muslims, for every human being. We have to say Assalamu Alaikum for every human being, irrespective of Muslim or non-Muslim. So it means that Islam tries to promote peace culture. Because peace is the samambodha in Islam. Without peace, there is no development, no progress.
49:43
Da'wah work, it is a necessary part for da'wah work. Peace normalizes the situation. Without normalcy, we cannot do anything. So I am a great advocate of peace. Maulana, agla sawal Ajmer se hai Dr. Safina Tab
