His answer, in his own words

maulana, agla sawal mr. zahid mohammad ka hai, nai dilli se. unhon ne likha hai ke "During Ramadan, the entire Muslim world practices Islam so intensely, but after Ramadan is over, loses the spirit. why does this happen, and what is the remedy for it?" yeh baat sahi nahin hai ke intensely us ko follow karte hain. sirf ritual karte hain, ritual bas. yeh spiritless roza hota hai in ka. yeh nahin sahi hai, bilkul sahi nahin hai. agar koi sach much hi intensely follow kare to woh saal bhar khatam hi nahin hone wala. kabhi nahin khatam hoga. woh to ritual ki taraf hota hai, dhoom machate hain khane peene ki aur sehri aur iftar ki aur taraweeh ki dhoom, dhoom, dhoom.

woh nahin kahin ke in in ke woh ke follow kar rahe hain. woh kuch rituals hain, bas us ko poora kar rahe hain. woh oopar oopar us ka un ke rooh se koi ta'alluq nahin, un ki spirit se koi ta'alluq nahin. to yeh mein nahin samajhta sahi ke aik mahine mein to khoob rakhte hain, baat par nahin hai. aik mahine mein bhi nahin rakhte. woh asal baat yeh hai. maulana, agla sawal mr. mazhar ka hai, dilli se. unhon ne likha hai ke ramzan ke mahine mein jo masjid mein taraweeh padhai jati hai, us ka main maqsad kya hai?
