ji Maulana, agla sawal Kolkata se bheja hai. ah Mr Sanjeev Chatterjee ne jo program dekh rahe hain, to unhone likha hai: "Maulana sahib, why can't Muslims practice Islam the way you practice? if Quran is about peace, then why Muslims are so violent and killing innocent people? what is your opinion on this?" dekhen, duniya mein Khuda ne har insaan ko freedom diya hai. freedom to freedom jab diya hai to aadmi chahe to freedom ko misuse kare ya us ko proper istemal kare. is ka to yeh to hoga. azadi ko koi na koi aise niklenge jo freedom ko misuse karenge.

to woh sab baaten jo is ko aap bataya, woh freedom ko misuse karne ki misalen hain. to hum yahi mission chala rahe hain ke log jaanen ke freedom mili to hai hum ko, lekin freedom ko humein misuse nahi karna hai. freedom ko sahi tareeqe se istemal karna hai. isi par Allah ki bakhshish milegi humein, isi par Allah ki rehmat milegi. yahi hum logon ko bata rahe hain. aur ab dekhiye, hamare bhai Harpreet Singh ne Punjabi mein tarjuma kar diya. ab Punjabi janne walon tak bhi pahuncha rahe hain. to yeh yahi hai. duniya mein kuch log aise rahenge hamesha jo misuse karenge, lekin hamara aap ka kaam yeh hai ke hum logon ko batate rahen, batate rahen, batate rahen.

Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle hum bhai Harpreet Singh ji aur un ke sathiyon ko batana chahenge ke un ke liye bahut se messages aa rahe hain.
