maulana, yeh agla sawal aaya hai maulana iqbal umri ka chennai se. maulana, positive approach rakhna aur insaniyat ki mukammal khair khwahi karna hi asal tajdid hai. aaj wazeh hua. tajaddud aur tajdid mein kya farq hai? tajaddud pasand kis ko kaha jata hai? dekhen, tajdid ka matlab hota hai asal deen ki tajdid. maslan asal deen kya hai? ke namaz ka form baqi rah e, rooh na baqi rahe. jaise hadith mein aata hai ke la salata liman lam yatasahhash. to log is ko bhool jayein aur samjhein ke masail wali namaz padh lo to namaz ho gayi. aur la salata liman lam bhool jayein woh. to tajdid ka kaam yeh hai ke is ko yaad dilaya jaye. is ko yaad dilaya jaye. aur ta ke log jo hain apne form wali namaz ke sath sath khushu wali namaz is mein izafa karen.

ab roze ki zaroorat nahi hai. yeh tajaddud hai. lekin agar roze ke form baqi rahe ke isprt khatm ho jaye to usko zinda kar rahe hain aap to woh tajdeed hai.
