His answer, in his own words
59:23
maulana, agla sawal chennai se kya hai maulana iqbal umri sahib ne, unhone likha hai: "character building hi jannat ki qeemat hai, to is mein iman ki zarurat kahan tak hai?" maulana, iman aur akhlaq ke talluq ke bare mein kuch farmayein. dekhen, imaan to yani garding force jo karte hain na, murekh awwal hai.
59:47
wo imaan jo hai, wo murekh awwal hai. agar aadmi ke andar imaan na ho to yaqeen nahi hoga, yaqeen nahi hoga, Allah ka dar nahi hoga, yaqeen nahi hoga to jannat uski us ka nishan nahi, concern nahi hoga.
1:00:16
to imaan to jar mein hai, imaan ke baghair to sab kuch khatam. imaan ka matlab yahi faith, yani in in baaton ka yaqeen hona jin ko hum akhirat kehte hain.
