molana, agla sawal Dilli se hai molana farhad ahmad sahib ka aur unhone likha hai: "molana, aap ne yeh kaha hai ke Quran ki Al-Baqarah ayat number 282 sab se lambi ayat hai. is se mamlat ka ek bohat hi important aspect maloom hota hai. woh yeh hai ke mamlat mein tawad yani uniformity honi chahiye." molana, is ko please elaborate karein. is ko kehte hain ayat e ma'amla. ma'amla matlab dealing. to dealing jo hai ya ma'amla jo hai is ke bare mein yeh ayat hai, yeh bohat lambi ayat hai ke is ko kehte hain ke jab koi dealing kare to likh lo. to sirf itna hi nahin kaha ke likh lo balkeh likhne ki bohat detailed hai, is mein bataya gaya hai kaise, aise, aise, aise, ese.

to is se maloom hota hai ke Allah ki nazar mein jo dealing ki baat hai, muamle ki baat hai, woh bohat hi specific tor par well defined honi chahiye taake baad ko koi is mein ek aur interpretation na de sake. to agar likha hua na ho, zahir hai ke baat ko zabani ho, zabani ho, likha hua na ho to baad ko aadmi woh kahe, woh kuch kahega, woh kuch kahega, woh kuch kahega. to baad ko kaise yaani determine kiya jaye ke dealing hui thi to kya hui thi? Kya baat tay hui thi? to woh likha hua wahi kaam ayega. To dealing ya muamla jo aisi cheez hai ke is mein mauqa yeh nahin dena chahiye ke kai qism ki interpretation ho.

is mein matlab tadad interpretation mein tadad na ho balkeh wahdat ho, yaani ek hi interpretation nikle. Jab aap zabani kahenge to jab zabani batata hai aadmi to kuch na kuch alfaaz badal jate hain. asal asal lafz jo bola gaya tha wahi aap nahin bolte, kuch lafz badal jata hai. Lafz badalne se is ka emphasis badalta hai, is ke angle badalte hain, is ka pehlu badal jata hai. to phir interpretation naye naye nikalte rehte hain. To dealing ke muamle mein Allah taala chahte hain wahdat, tadad rahe, yaani jab bhi is ko parha jaye aur janne ki koshish ki jaye ke dealing kya hui thi to ek hi rai bane. aur ek hi rai jab ban payegi jab ke is ko likha jayega, zabani rahega to rai kai ho jayegi. Rai mein jo hai diversity aa jayegi.

taddud yeh mein is ayat se samjha raha tha. Maulana, agla sawal Chennai se hai Maulana Iqbal Umri ka aur unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, ek sahab ne kaha ke tauheed aur akhirat ki dawat sirf dawat nahin hai kyunke anbiya waqt ki buraiyon ke khilaf bhi kaam karte the jaise Suhaib (AS) aur Lut (AS).
