Maulana agla sawal Delhi se bheja hai Miss Khair un Nisa ne. انہوں نے لکھا ہے کہ do you think the political Islam that is Wahhabism and Islamic revolution of Iran is responsible for the tension within Muslim world? What is the role of ijtihad in promoting peace? Yeh baat to sahi hai ke jo political list is ko kehte hain political Islam woh politicization of Islam hai.

Political Islam is a thing. Kuch logon ne politicize kar rakha hai Islam ko. To bidat hai woh. To bidat se kabhi acha nikal nahi sakta.

To yahan pe ijtihad ka matlab yeh hai ke Islam ko rediscover kiya jaye. Ijtihad ka role jo yahan par hai woh Yeh hai ke Islam ko deep politicize kiya jaye jaisa ke hai woh. Main samajhta hoon ke is waqt ijtihad ka sab se bara kaam yahi hai.
