Identifying one's role and paradise eligibility

“You said that we have to identify our role in this world. How can someone identify his role? And if someone finds his role in a secular world and not in a religious world, then what will happen to such a person? Will only a religious person be eligible for paradise?”Asked by Ajay Dravid, Delhi

ji, maulana, agla sawal dilli se mr ajay dwivedi ne kiya hai. unhon ne aap se poocha hai: maulana sahib "you said that we have to identify our role in this world. How can someone identify his role? And if someone finds his role in a secular world and not in a religious world, then what will happen to such a person? Will only a religious person be eligible for paradise? " dekhein, yeh secular mahol mein aadmi hai ya ke mazhabi mahol mein hai, yeh reality baat hai.

kyunke spiritual development ka kaam har jagah jaari rehta hai. har jagah jaari rehta hai. jaise maine aap ko qissa bataya tha ke dilli mein ek saath mulaqat bhi hui. woh london mein rehte the.

to woh pehle secular the aur woh ek firm mein kaam karte the. chocolate banati thi woh firm. ab woh religious ban gaye the. to maine poocha unki kahani.

unhon ne bataya ke main chocolate ke ek firm mein kaam karta tha. mera kaam yeh tha ke chocolate ban kar jo aata, machine se banta tha. to chocolate ban kar jo aata tha, us mein kuch chocolate aise hote the jo jin mein kuch defect aa jaye.

to us ko woh chhanta tha. to unhon ne kaha ke ek din mein chhant raha tha, chhant raha tha. achanak mere mind mein aaya ke aakhirat mein bhi aise hoga. wahan bhi log aayenge aur kuch logon ko farishte chhaant denge.

yeh is qabil nahi hai ke is ko reward diya jaye. to kaha ke mein isi mein na aa jaon, chhatayi mein. yeh sochate hi mein achanak mere andar ek change aa gaya. to secular world aur religious world koi dono relative word hain mere nazdeek.

secular mahaul mein bhi mazhabi training jari rehti hai. aisa nahi ke secular world mein chalaya gaya aadmi to spirituality khatam ya religious thinking khatam. dono ek doosre se jure hue hain. ji, maulana, agla ek comment aur sawal hai jo maulana iqbal umri ne bheja hai chennai se.
