Maulana, agla sawal Tamil Nadu se hai Maulana Iqbal Omri sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, aaj mein jawan hoon, maut ko door dekh raha hoon. is ghaflat se mein kaise bachoon?" is ke bare mein batayein. isi liye to Allah taala ne maut ka waqt koi nahi rakha. bacha hi marta hai, jawani hi marta hai, budhai marta hai. jaise mein aksar sochta rehta hoon, aksar sochta rehta hoon mein ke mere teen bachche mar chuke, mere apne.

zahair hai ke woh bachche mujh se bohat chote the. to mein sochta rehta hoon, mere teen bachche mar chuke, mere chote bhai mar chuke, meri chhoti behan mar chuki. to aadmi yeh waqiaat aadmi ko is liye hotay hain ke aadmi soche ke tum se chotay jab mar gaye, tum kyun nahi maro ge? Allah taala ne maut ka agar aik fix kar diya hota,
16:53
fix ke 90 saal mein har aadmi ko marna hai, tab to sochna mushkil hota. lekin jab hum dekhte hain ke bachcha hi mara, bachcha hi marta hai, naujawan marta hai, har har umar ke log marte rehte hain barabar. to yeh isi liye hai ke yeh waqiaat aadmi ke liye reminder bane, reminder.

sochein ke dekho, mujh se chota yeh mar gaya to mein mein kyun nahi maroonga? to logon mein wahi mein jo arz kiya ke logon mein soch jagana hai, intellectual awakening lana hai, isi ki kami hai. saari kami isi cheez ki hai. Maulana, agla sawal Maldives se hai Mr. Hitesh Dhamija sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "While a short stay in Saudi Arabia, I noticed that Arabs in the month of Ramadan, while they fast, sleep during the day and stay up night. However, Muslims in India follow a different pattern. They keep the fast and work during the day and sleep at night.
