His answer, in his own words

Ji, Maulana, agla sawal Maulana Iqbal Omri ne kiya hai Chennai se. Unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, modern civilization ke bare mein Musalman kehte hain ke woh fitrat ke khilaf hai, lekin aap is ko jannat ka ek example kehte hain. Aisa farq kyun hai? Muslims modern age aur is ki civilization se nafrat kyun karte hain, magar faida
55:22
pura uthate hain? Aisa kyun?" Dekhein, aap doosre log jo hain, kisi misal ke baghair bolte hain. mujhe koi bhi shakhs nahi maloom jo misaal deta ho, bas hawai baatein karta hai. main jo baat kehta hoon, us ko misaal deta hoon. to jo log doosri baatein karein, woh misaal dein.
55:47
woh jab tak misaal nahi denge, tab tak un ki baat qabil-e-ghor nahi samjhi jayegi. bila misaal ke hawai tor par comment dena, woh is ki koi haqeeqat na ilm mein hai, na islam mein hai. maulana, agla sawal kya hai zakir sahib ne baroda se.
