His answer, in his own words

molana, agla sawal karachi pakistan se hai miss samia latif ka. unhon ne likha hai: "quran mein hai ke allah ke zikr se dilon ko itminan hasil hota hai. molana sahib, is itminan se kis qism ka itminan murad hai? kyunke duniya mein to gabd maujood hai." gabd, duniya mein to gabd maujood hai.
1:17:01
gabd, kaf, bay zzal. gabd, duniya mein to gabd maujood hai. phir ek momin ke dil ko itminan kaise hoga? nahin, dekhiye, itminan ke mani happiness nahin hain, happiness ya khushi aur masarrat nahin hai.
1:17:25
itminan ke mani hain explanation. har aadmi chahta hai ke woh cheezon ko explain kar sake jo duniya mein ho raha hai, is ko explain karna chahta hai. آپ جانتے ہیں، انسان کے بارے میں کہا جاتا ہے کہ "man is an explanation-seeking animal."
1:17:49
"Man is an explanation-seeking animal." تو اللہ، جب اللہ کو آدمی ڈسکور کرتا ہے، اللہ میں وہ yani soch bichar karta hai, is ki is ka contemplation ka focus allah ban jata hai, to is qabil ho jata hai ke woh cheezon ko explain kar sake, apni life ko, insan ki history ko, duniya ke halaat ko.
1:18:13
to woh explanation mil jata hai insan ko. is sense mein hai woh. woh woh is bhi sense mein nahin hai ke happiness mil jati hai. is sense mein nahin hai woh.
