His answer, in his own words
50:52
this is so true, maulana sahib, jazak allah. " maulana, agla sawal ah fraz khan sahib ne kiya hai دلی سے، اور انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "مولانا، Muslims generally believe that Islam came to re-establish Haq, And Prophet strived hard to establish Haq to get his rights. They even quote Allama Iqbal that Islam zinda hota hai har Karbala ke baad.

They also think that if we do not stand to claim our rights, then we would be pushed back to oblivion. مولانا، how can we address such mindsets? سب سے بڑی ضرورت یہ ہے کہ اقبال کو quote karna choriye.
51:37
iqbal koi hamare liye koi authority nahi hai. quran ko quote kijiye, hadith ko quote kijiye. تو حق کو establish کرنا ہمارا کام ہے۔ yeh kai na quran mein likha hai, na hadith mein likha hai.
51:52
iqbal ka likha hai to iqbal koi authority nahi hai. sab se pehla kaam hai ke iqbal ko choriye, quran ko lijiye, quran ko le kar sochiye. aur dusri baat ye hai ke Quran mein jo haq ki baat hai, woh follow karne ke maani ہیں، implement کرنے کے معنی نہیں ہیں۔
52:14
حق یا عدل یا قسط کی بات جہاں قرآن میں ہے، وہ follow کرو، follow کرو، follow کرو۔ یہ نہیں کہ اس کو implement کرو، enforce کرو، یہ ہے ہی نہیں جو اقبال نے بنا رکھا ہے، اقبال کے followers نے بنا رکھا ہے۔ اقبال تو deviation کا کیس ہے، falling کا کیس نہیں ہے۔
