“Many people say that belief in God is enough, so following a prayer system is not required, as God knows what is in the hearts of its people. What would you say to such belief?”Asked by Rizwan, Bhopal

Maulana rizwan sahib ne bhopal se sawal bheja hai. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke "Maulana, many people say that belief in God is enough, so following a prayer system is not required, as God knows what is in the hearts of its people . What would you say to such belief?" bhai, yeh sab apni raah pe chalna hai. jab aap God manen to aap ko manna parega ke Quran Khuda ki book hai. aap ko manenge ke Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم Khuda ke rasool hain, to aap ko manna parega ke jo Quran mein hai, jo hadith mein hai, wahi right explanation hai God ke belief ka. alag se kya banayenge aap? ya to aap manen hi nahi, lekin jab bhi aap manenge Allah ko to manna parega Quran ko, manna parega rasool ko, to manna parega phir in sab cheezon ko jo Quran o hadith se sabit hoti hain.
