Maulana, agla sawal bheja hai Faisal sahib ne Bangalore se, unhon ne likha hai: Maulana, you said the first thing Muslim should do is to forget the complaint against others. Maulana, how can we do it practically as mind becomes restless if someone does bad to you? I try to implement what I learn from your talks and books, but I am still struggling.
52:39
For example, I have faced situations in office and at home when I was wronged, and I tried forgiving them, but the thought of their wrongdoing kept bothering me. My question is: what is the practical way to forgive and also forget the instances of wrongdoing? Please give your guidance on this.

dekhiye, musalmanon ko yeh kehna hai ke woh rasool Allah ko mante hain ya nahi mante. yeh jo aaj kal naat khwaniyan ho rahi hain, is se kuch faida nahi. naat khwani se Allah khush hone wala nahi hai. naat khwani ki dhoop machi hui hai.
53:27
hargiz hargiz mat samjhiye ke is se Allah khush ho jayega. musalmanon ko yeh faisla karna hai ke woh Allah ki sunnat ko mante hain ya nahi mante. jaise dekhie, rasool Allah 13 saal tak makka mein thay. makka mein rasool Allah ko jo sataya gaya, is tarah ka zulm kisi musalman ko nahi hua, bohat ziyada. lekin aap dekhie, makka se jab niklay aap aur madina pohanchay to kabhi bhi aap ko nahi pata aati koi hadith ke aap ne wahan shikayat ki ho makka wale ko zulm ki. maslan ً, aap sirat ibn sham mein dekhiye, hijrat ke baad ka waqea ke rasool Allah jab makkah se

chal kar madinah pohanche to jo pehla khitab kiya tha aap ne, woh poora ka poora sirat ibn sham mein maujood hai, is ka title hai: awwal khutbah khutbah rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam fi al-madinah. is khutbe ko parhiye aap. ek lafz is mein nahi hai ke makkah walon ne zulm kiya,
54:38
makkah walon ne sataya, makkah walon ne hum ko bhaga diya, kuch bhi nahi. koi is ka reference hi nahi hai. is ka reference yeh nahi ke makkah walon ne hum ko nikal diya makkah se, balke kya hai? eha nas, ittaqu anar walon se.
54:58
to musalmanon ko yeh faisla karna hai ke un ki naat khwani se Khuda kabhi khush nahi hone wala hai, namumkin hai. unhein rasool Allah ki sunnat ko ikhtiyar karna parega, tab rasool Allah, tab Allah un se khush hoga. acchi tarah samajh lijiye, is mein zara bhi shakk nahi hai ke naat khwaniyan chahe ab jitni ho
55:22
rahi hain, is se hazar guna barh jayen, tab bhi kuch bhi nahi milne wala akhirat mein. milega is waqt jab ke rasool musalman rasool Allah ki sunnat ko follow karen. woh follow yahi ke ke shikayat ko bhulao, shikayat ko bhulao, shikayat ko bhulao. maulana, kuch comments parhna chahenge sawal lene se pehle.

maulana iqbal umri sahib ne chennai se bheja hai: maulana, aaj aap ne daur jadeed ka starting point ko itna wazeh kiya ke aaj tak kisi ne is ko shaoori taur par discover nahi kiya. aaj aap ne jo log mis fit islam batate hain, aap ne is islam ko most fit mazhab bana diya aur bataya ke islam perfect hai, muslim mis fit hain

aur un ko islam ko re discover karna hai. jazak allah molana sahib. فراز خان صاحب نے دلی سے بھیجا ہے: مولانا، today I learned a very big lesson, that to retreat is the required policy.

Save yourself, gain time to replan and to give a well-cultured response to a situation. this is the amazing policy. jazak allah molana sahib. doctor farida khanam ne dilli se likha hai: mol

ana, when muslims will realize that all their problems can be solved, only when they begin to take part in divine dawa mission, because only then they will receive the divine blessings. muhammad rafiq chogle sahib ne mumbai se bheja hai: the retreat of khalid bin walid from mautah and the retreat of the prophet from hudaybiyyah are the examples of advancement with planning that the present day muslims lack an. riyaz bhatt sahib ne molana ek sawal bheja hai srinagar se, unhon ne likha hai: the man
