His answer, in his own words
1:40:56
fi'l hai. Maulana, agla sawal Faeq Sahab ka hai, aur unhon ne apna sawal Maulana aap ke ek quote ko le ke poocha hai. پہلے آپ کا کوٹ پڑھیں گے، جس کا ٹائٹل ہے "The Myth of Injustice"۔ اس میں آپ نے لکھا تھا کہ "throughout history, thinkers and reformers have struggled to eliminate in
1:41:19
justice from society, but no one succeeded in achieving this goal. Their failures to eliminate injustice prevented them from living with peace of mind in the world. the truth is that what is termed injustice is actually a matter of misuse of freedom by man. god has granted freedom to man to put him to the test in this world. it is the misuse of freedom that creates all kinds of problems. we must accept this state of affairs as a part of the creation plan of god. maulana, does this mean that we accept injustice as the creation plan of god and do nothing about it? we see someone hurting, abusing an innocent soul, and we mind our own business and do nothing to stop that injustice. would we not be accountable for inaction within our capacity at the day of judgment?
1:42:22
please comment. dekhiye, accountability aadmi Khuda ke samne hai, insaan ke samne nahin hai. aap jhanda uthaye ke mujhe is se khatm karna hai to aap nahin kar payein. yani insaan accountable hai bila shukwa, lekin Allah ke samne, hamare samne nahin. jo maine baat kahi hai, woh yeh hai ke chounke Allah ne di hai logon ko azadi,
1:42:53
to azadi mein yeh bhi shamil hai ke woh misuse kare ya proper use kare. iska apna right hai ke azadi ko proper use kare, misuse kare. yani Hazrat Umar jaise khaleefa ko qatal bhi kar sakta hai, Allah unka haath nahin pakda.
1:43:10
jab ek shakhs hazrat umar ko qatl kar raha tha to allah farishta bhej kar hath pakad li ta, is ka hath pakad li ta. hata ke peghambar hazrat yahya peghambar the, un ko bhi qatl kiya
1:43:25
to wahan allah ne bheja nahi farishte ke is ka hath pakad lo, qatl na karne par. dekhiye, insan ko allah ne azadi di hai to allah un ka hath pakadne wala nahi hai. aakhirat mein zaroor allah taala logon ko janche ga, jinho ne proper use kiya hai, un ko reward de ga, jinho ne misuse kiya,
1:43:49
un ko pakde ga. duniya mein zaroor jhanda uthaen ke hamein in justice khatam karna hai, yeh un ko koi right nahi hai aur na khatam bhi. tareekh mein kabhi koi khatam nahi kar saka,
1:44:03
sirf in justice ke naam par uthe aur us ko aage phaila diya. jo log bhi khade hue hain in justice khatam karne ke liye, unho ne bohat sari justice burai paida ki, chahe safar log hon ya muslim log hon. koi ek exception mujhe bata dijiye ke uthao in justice ko khatam karne ke naam par aur sach
1:44:25
chamach chor ne in justice khatam kar diya ho, aur koi hai nahi, koi insan talib nahi hai. to jo cheez jo allah ke domain ki cheez hai, us ko insan apne domain mein laye, to yeh possible hi nahi hai.
