His answer, in his own words
1:44:22
ji, maulana, agla sawal raipur se hai idrees sahib ka. انہوں نے لکھا ہے کہ: "There was a news in Lucknow in August 17, 2012, which mentioned that Lord Mahavira's idol defaced by a mob of few people. My question is: Does this kind of violent protest serve any of the purposes of the protesters? If
1:44:47
not, why this kind of protest is organized frequently? How the right-minded religious leaders and general people belonging to the religion of this mob should react to correct the negative effects of such incidents?" kindly comment. dekhen, yeh yeh jo hai masla hai, yeh problem hai administration ka, hamara aap ka nahi hai.
1:45:12
hum aap khwah makhwah is pe statement dete hain. yeh sirf administration ka masla hai. yeh yeh ek india mein masla yeh zyada hai ke har aadmi lagta hai bolne is par. har aadmi statement deta hai is ke upar.
1:45:29
main is ko administration ka masla samajhta hoon, intezamia ka masla. aap ko suggestion ho to intezamia ko kahiye ke baqi akhbaron mein jo statement dete hain log, to mera woh mizaj mizaj nahi hai. woh main is ko jis ko kehte hain hindi mein prashasan, yeh prashasan ka masla hai.

maulana, yeh sawal tamil nadu se aya hai abu khadija sahib ka. انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "مولانا صاحب، someone says giving the Quran or explaining Islam to murtad is naat dawah work. dawah work is when you make mado gayo shahada. " mado? shahada.
1:46:10
shahada. achha, shahada. shahada. is this true statement? bilkul galat hai yeh.
1:46:18
yeh sare sahaba ne yeh kaam nahi kiya. woh toh bakri bane hue the, khali padh padh sunate the. kisi ko bandha hai, sare paighambaron ne yahi kiya. paighambaron ne sunaya, bataya bas.
1:46:32
kisi kisi ne mara, beshtar logon ne nahi mara. toh kya woh unhon ne dawah work nahi kiya? aap ne yani sare paighambaron ne sirf bataya bas aur kya kiya? pahunchaya apni baat ko. baqi shahadat toh iska apna choice hai, aap ka choice nahi hai.
1:46:52
ya iske koi sawalat, main isko sahi nahi samajhta. maulana, agla sawal lete hain, woh bhi tamil nadu se aya hai maulana iqbal umri sahib ka.
