His answer, in his own words
11:20
maulana, agla sawal miss fatima sarah ka hai bangalore se. unhon ne likha hai: "What is the biggest obstacle we face when trying to take a lesson from death and how we do clear our minds of this obstacle? " baat yeh hai ke insaan jo hai, jo cheez dikhai de, us ko to foran woh le leta hai.
11:59
jo cheez dikhai na de, us ko soch kar us ko lena pare to is mein woh fail ho jata hai. to maut se pehle ki dunya to dikhai de rahi hai, is ka nafa, is ka nuqsan, is ka aaram, is ki takleef, is ki khushi, is ka gham, yeh sab dikhai de raha hai.
12:24
lekin maut ke baad ka jo khushi o gham hai, aaram o takleef hai, woh dikhai nahi deta. to insaan ki kamzori hai ke woh dikhai dene wali cheezon mein jeeta hai. isi liye quran mein hai ke "yominoon bil ghaib" . jo apne mind, jo quran mein hai ke zaalik ki kitab la raha hai "fi huda al mutaqeen alladheen
12:50
yominoon bil ghaib" . یومنون بالغیب مطلب یہ ہے کہ جو اپنا اپنے مائنڈ کو ڈیولپ کریں، intellectual awakening جس کے اندر aa jaye, jis ka zehan hota hai, bedaar ho jaye, bedaar ho jaye ke jo dikhai nahi deta, us par hi soche woh.
13:15
tab ja kar aisa hoga ke woh maut ki haqeeqat ko samjhenge aur maut ke baad wali jo zindagi hai, us ke lehaz se apni zindagi ki pehle planning karenge. Maulana, agla sawal Pennsylvania se hai Mr. Khwaja Kaleemuddin sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana sahib, why people are more worried about how they will die, whether bedridden or healthy, instead of worrying about what will happen to them after death? " kindly comment.
