His answer, in his own words

fard se alag kisi cheez ka koi wajood nahi hai. Maulana, un ka ek aur sawal hai. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke kya muzakkar personality ko hi strong personality kahenge? haan, dono ek hi cheez hain. koi do cheez nahi hain. main sirf yeh karta hoon ke modern medium mein tabdeel karta hoon. kyunke aaj ka jo insaan hai, woh jis term se familiar hai, jin jis language mein woh familiar hai, us mein jab aap baat kahenge, tab is ka mind address hoga. warna is ka mind address nahi hoga. aur Quran mein kaha gaya hai ke qul lahum fi anfusihim qawlan balighan yani is tarah baat kaho ke logon ka mind address ho.

to isi cheez ko hum badalte hain, naya term dete hain taake aaj ke insaan ka mind address ho. warna aap kahenge aur kuch is ko milega nahi, is ko kuch. ek sahabi ne kaha tha ke kallimun naasa 'ala qadri 'uqoolihim logon ko baat karo, logon ke aql ke mutabiq. jo un ki aql agar pakad nahi paayegi to faida kya aap bolne se? bolte nahi ke aap un ki aql ne pakda nahi is ko. to koi faida is ka nahi hoga. Maulana, agla sawal hai Sajid Anwar Sahab ka, Roorkee se.
