maulana, agla sawal calcutta se hai doctor roshan kumar jha ka. انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "مولana sahib, I have heard from so many Muslims saying that all the Muslims will enter into Paradise, irrespective of their deeds in this world. If any Muslim is bad, he will first be put into hell, and after punishment in the end,

"All the Muslims will be given paradise." They say that at the time of death of Prophet Muhammad, allah said ke aap ki ummat ke sath acha sulook karunga. They also said that non-Muslims will never enter into Paradise. مولانا صاحب، what is your comment on this? دیکھیں، اسی کو میں نے کہا ہے کہ living in

falsehood, yeh sab falsehood mein jeena hai. bilkul hi is ki koi sarparasti nahi hai in baaton ka. quran mein dekhen, yeh hai ke: "laisa lil insani illa ma sa'a". yani wishful thinking ka matlab hota hai wishful thinking.
43:47
yani tumhari wishful thinking par kuch nahi hoga, na doosre jo ummaten hain, un ki wishful thinking se kuch hoga. jo jaisa karega, waisa payega. "laisa lil insani illa ma sa'a".

to yeh musalmanon ka isi ko to mein kehta hoon ke musalman falsehood mein jeete hain. khud hi bana rakha hai sab ek poora falsehood ka ek ek ek jhaad jhankad. aur jab tak musalmanon ko is falsehood se bahar na laya jaye, tab tak un ka kuch bhi, yani kuch bhi nahi hone wala hai, kuch bhi nahi hone wala.

aisi negativity mein jiyenge, negativity mein marenge. مولانا، next question is from Sweden by Mr. Matthias. He has written: "What role does rational thinking have for using methods of non-violence?" It's very important question.
44:45
I think that non-violence or peace is basic to all kind of thinking. Without peaceful mind, without, yani non-violent thinking, you cannot understand anything, because peace wishful thinking makes you sincere. peaceful thinking makes you sincere, well wisher to all, makes you objective.
45:08
and and when you are objective and scientific mind, then you can understand things in right way. So I am a great advocate of peaceful thinking and non-violent thinking. According to my analysis and according to my experience, peace is the summum bonum in Islam. Without peace, there is no development at all.
45:32
all those things that Islam wants to promote, for example, dawah work, ibadah, constructive work, ilm, all those things that are required in Islam cannot be carried out properly without peace. so peace is very very important. and you know, the the method of greeting in Islam is Assalamu Alaikum.
45:54
it means peace be upon you. it means that Islam wants to promote peace culture. our greeting is Assalamu Alaikum. is not only for muslim, for every human being.
46:07
we have to say assalamu alaikum for every human being, irrespective as muslim or non muslim. so it means that islam tries to promote peace culture, because peace is the sum bonum in islam. Without peace, there is no development, no progress. da'wah work, it is necessary part for da'wah work.
46:29
peace normalizes the situation. without, yani without normalcy, we cannot do anything. so i am great advocate of peace. maulana, agla sawal ajmer se hai doctor safina tabassum ka.
