maulana, agla sawal roorkee se hai sajid anwar sahab ka. انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "مولانا، in the Quran God has mentioned many incidents related to the life of The prophets like Adam, Noah, David, Solomon, etc. These incidents clearly indicate that these prophets also realized their mistakes and turned towards God Almighty in repentance.
1:22:05
However, attitude of today's Muslims are in absolute contrast to the examples of these prophets as they Do not retract from their violent culture. Is it not a clear proof that today Muslims derive their ideology from somewhere other than the quran? kindly comment.
1:22:25
kya matlab hai? maulana, woh yeh keh rahe hain ke jo prophets ki zindagi se dekha gaya hai ke unhon ne bhi kuch ghaltiyan keen lekin unhon ne woh repentance ki. unhon ne is ke baad lekin agar un se aaj ke muslims ko compare kiya jaye to aaj ke muslims jo hain woh apni aik to maulana ghalti nahi mante aur violent culture ko ikhtiyar kiya
1:22:54
hua hai unhon ne. to kya yeh kaha ja sakta hai ke un ki jo ideology hai woh un ko quran se nahi, kahin aur se mil rahi hai? is se yeh matlab lagta hai. nahi, dekhen, woh ghalti wali baat alag hai, woh baat alag hai.
1:23:14
donon ko woh nahi karna chahiye. ji haan, abhi jo musalman jo ladai bhadai kar rahe hain, us ko jihad kehte hain. yeh to bilkul baseless hai yani is ka talluq kuch bhi quran se nahi hai. kahin quran mein is tarah ki ladaaiyon ka zikr nahi hai.
1:23:35
yeh to quran in ko disown kar raha hai. disown karne ki wajah se har jagah woh haar rahe hain. to woh alag masla hai yani woh is ko kehte hain ijtihadi khata. ji, paighambaron se ijtihadi khata hoti hai, woh ek alag masla hai.
1:23:55
ji, lekin yeh jo musalman ladaaiyan lad rahe hain, yeh to koi shaq nahi ke hargiz na to jihad hai na islam hai. yeh baseless activities hain jin ka faida na dunya mein hai na akhirat mein. is mein to koi shaq nahi hai, na in ko dunya mein koi faida milne wala hai na
1:24:18
akhirat mein in ko kuch faida milne wala hai. koi talluq in ka islam se nahi hai, deen se nahi hai, kuch bhi nahi hai. is par to bohat likha hai aap ne. aap yani kafi literature maujood hai is ke is ke baray mein.

maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai maulana sharq hussain sahib ka.
