jazak Allah khaira." Maulana, agla sawal Dilli se kiya hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ne. unhon ne likha hai: "What is the difference between the Sahaba and present day Muslims? The Sahaba moved by Islam, possessed positive mindset, and spread positivity all over the world. But Muslims of today who claim to be followers of Islam are spreading negativity and hatred everywhere. What is your opinion on this? " main yeh sochta hoon ke asli spirit thi, is pe emphasis nahi diya gaya baad ke zamaney mein.

form par sara emphasis chala gaya. to Sahaba ki spirit to wohi hai jo unhon ne bataya. lekin jab form ko emphasis di gayi to form ko ko follow kar ke unho ne samjha ke hum ne Islam ko follow kar liya.

waise Sahaba ki spirit to wohi thi jo bataya unhon ne. lekin jab form ko asal maan liya jaye to yeh baat kamzor pad jayegi ke hamein is tarah banna hai. insan ko khair khwah banna hai, hamein peaceful banna hai waghera.
