is ka koi taalluq nahi hai. yeh ek siyasi issue hai. constitution ka ek ek masla hai. Maulana, agla sawal Mansoor Tirmizi sahib ne poocha hai. unhone apni location nahi batai hai. un ka sawal yeh hai ke: Maulana, is there anything in the hadith literature that makes the young generation bound to obey their parents order or their elder siblings or close relatives? bhai, is mein hadith ki kya zaroorat hai? hadith hai bhi, lekin is mein barhon ko nahi manenge to aap barhon ke paas experience hota hai. aap ke paas to is se jazba hota hai.

agli generation, naujawanon mein aur senior logon mein jo doori ho gayi hai, woh saada baat nahi hai. is ka maene yeh hai ke naujawan jo hain, pichle logon ke experience se kuch faida nahi utha rahe hain. hadith bhi yeh hai jo aap farma rahe hain ke jo baron ki izzat na kare, woh hum mein se nahi. lekin main samajhta hoon ke is ke liye aap ke aqli kaafi hai janne ke liye ke naujawanon ke paas kabhi bhi exper yence nahi hoga. aur jo senior log hain, un ke paas experience hoga. to un ke experience ko lijiye un se taake zyada achi tarah aap apni zindagi ki planning kar saken.

yeh koi aqeeday ka masla nahi hai, yeh to aql ka masla hai. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai miss sathi malhotra ka.
