Maulana, agla sawal Lucknow se Afzal sahib ne kiya hai aur unhon ne likha hai Maulana, you mentioned that in Sahaba's time no one used to clap after prophet speech or address. This is really an eye opener to judge the present practices of Muslims. We should be modest and always go into contemplation. My question, Maulana sahib, is that how can we revive this Sahaba culture again in the present time? What will be your guidance to all of us? dekhen, is ko is ko kehte hain ahdas, nai baat nikalna.

man ahdatha fi amri hadha fahuwa raddun ye hadith hai man ahdatha fi amri hadha fahuwa raddun hamare deen mein jo shakhs koi nai baat nikale to wo rejected hai. to ye taliyan bajana ye to khula hua bidat hai. yani bidat woh cheez hai jo sahaba ke zamanay mein na rahi ho.

ab baat ko pata kijiye to jab rasool Allah ne farma diya ke man ahdasa fi amr hadha ma laisa min farz jo hamare deen mein aisi baat nikale jo rasool aur sahaba rasool ke zamanay mein na rahi ho to radd hai. radd ki jayegi.

to bataiye, is is is culture ko mein ke aap fan bane hue hain, khud is ka hissa bane hue hain, yeh to Allah taala ki bohat bara yani risk le rahe hain ke Allah ka ghazab na ho aap ke upar. yani jo cheez rasool Allah ke ke nazdeek bidat hai, us par aap taliyan bajate hain.

to hazrat ek sahabi ne kaha tha, woh Saad bin Abdullah ibn Abbas ne ke is tarah ki cheezon ko par unhone kaha tha ke mujhe dar hai ke kahin tumhare upar aasman toot na pade. tabeen ke zamanay mein yeh kaha tha ke is tarah ki cheezon par jo tum khush ho rahe ho, mujhe dar hai ke kahin aasman tumhare upar toot na pade aur tum halak ho jao.

to musalmanon ko is ke sath koi choice nahi ke woh reassess karen, reexamine karen, koi doosra choice nahi. Maulana, agla sawal Karachi Pakistan se Abdul Wahid sahib ne kiya hai aur unhone aap se poocha hai
