To sab se pehli baat yeh hai ke aadmi ko repentance aaye, apni ghalti ko maane woh dil se ke kaisi ajeeb bhool mujh se ho gayi. Aur is ke baad yeh hai ke woh yeh ahad kare apne aap se ke ab mujhe aisa nahi karna hai.

To ulama ne is ki teen shakalain batayi hain. Pehli cheez yahi hai ke aadmi iqrar kare ke mujh se ghalti hui. nidaamat aaye, repentance aaye. doosri cheez yeh hai ke woh ahad kare ke ab mein aisa nahi karunga.

yeh do cheezein. aur agar ek maamla kisi insani huqooq ka hai to teesri cheez mein shamil ki hai ulma ne ke aadmi is huq ko talaafi kare. kisi ko paisa maara hai to paisa lotaye is ko.
