His answer, in his own words
54:53
Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se kiya hai Miss Naghma Siddiqui ne. unhon ne likha hai: "Why did the next generation of Muslims immediately after Prophet Muhammad forgot the importance of diversity and creation plan of God?" dekhiye, jahan tak main samajhta hoon, woh yeh hai ke poori tareekh mein jo conditioning hui thi hazaron saal se, is conditioning ko Islam ne todna chaha.
55:29
lekin conditioning jo hai, kabhi bhi achanak nahi tootti hai. toh waqti taur par toh ek mehdood is ka muzahira hua Makkah Madinah mein. lekin is ko torne ke liye aur lamba aik process darkar tha. woh Allah taala ne jari kiya.
55:51
mein samajhta hoon ke mojza zamane mein jo maghribi tehzeeb hai, is ne ziyada bare paane par is conditioning ko toda hai. to ab hamein ziyada moqa hai ke hum open mind ke sath baaton ko samjhein. aur ziyada realistic approach hamare andar ho.
56:06
yeh sab baatein jo is jo jo Islam ka jo nishana tha, is ke liye jo infrastructure darkar tha, jo mahaul darkar tha, woh mojza zamane mein paida hua hai. to it was but natural.
56:21
kyunke itni lamba conditioning achaanak toot nahin sakti thi. to woh prevail kar gayi. waqti tor par jo makkah madine mein jo halaat paida hue, is ke baad woh prevail kar gayi. aur is ke asraat phir dobara aa gaye.
56:36
lekin phir dheere dheere aik gradual process ke tor par is ko khatam kiya gaya. aur ab mein samajhta hoon ke yani jo insaan ki azadi ko barqarar rakhte hue jitna khatma mumkin tha, woh khatma ho chuka hai.
56:53
is wajah se hamare liye aaj jo opportunities hain, woh bilkul unlimited opportunities hain. koi rukawat nahin hai. siwaye is ke ke hum agar violence na karein, tashaddud na karein, to sari opportunities hamari khuli hui hain. acha sir, Maulana, yeh sawal do

ha Qatar se kiya hai Maulana Abdul Basit sahib ne. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, aap ne kaha tha ke apne aap ko ages ki aakhri had tak le jana yeh sab se bari daryaft hai. maulana, kya yeh har ek ke liye zaroori hai? aur kis tarah ise daryaft kiya jaye ga? rehnumai
57:34
farmaein. masla zaroori ka nahi hai. masla daryaft khodawandi ka hai, marifat ka hai, jannat mein jagah paane ka hai. koi kare ya na kare, lekin jo maut ke baad jo dunya aane wali hai, wahan jo is ko maqam mile ga, woh isi ke sath mile ga.
57:56
aur koi kisi sifarish ki bina par akhirat mein kisi ko maqam milne wala nahi hai. jitna is dunya mein aadmi apne aap ko develop kar paye ga, usi ke mutabiq woh akhirat mein jagah paye ga. aur is ki har cheez ki ek qeemat hoti hai.
58:17
to is ki bhi ek qeemat hai. koi cheez baghair qeemat ke milti nahi hai. to dunya mein apne aap ko is spiritual line par develop karne ki ek qeemat hai. woh qeemat aap ada karein ge to aap ko is ka yeh reward mile ga.
58:37
maulana, agla sawal roorki se kya hai sajjid anwar sahib ne.
