Maulana, agla sawal Bangalore se hai Farhad Sahab ka, aur unhon ne likha hai: "Molana, recent reports have revealed that many youths from India have gone to join ISIS, and they claim that they are doing it for the cause of Allah. Maulana, according to you, what is the reason that these educated youths are ready to join the terror and Islamic wings like ISIS? This creates a very negative image of Islam. What is the solution? dekhiye, jahan tak main ne samjha hai, yeh youth agarchay parhay likhe hon ge, lekin unhon ne quran ko
50:33
nahin read kiya. unhon ne islam ko sirf samjha hai internet par jo maloomat aaj kal bhari ja rahi hain, screenst logon ki taraf se, us ko parha hai unhon ne. aaj kal bohat bura istemal kar rahe hain musalman is ka, internet ka. kya kehte hain sahab? is mein maloomat dalte hain jo? ji, internet theek hai, maulana. aaj kal aik nai, itni bari blessing hai internet, bohat bari blessing, lekin musalman is ka negative istemal kar rahe hain. bohat hi zyada, yani misinformation ke zariye bana diya musalmanon ne is ko.
51:14
aik blessing ko apne liye ulta bana diya. isi ko parhte hain yeh log. in logon ne jo aap mujh se miliye, un se poochen, un hazrat se jin ko aap kehte hain ke muslim youth, mein aise kuch logon se mila hoon. mein ne un se pocha ke kya aap ne jo step liya hai, is se pehle bohat hi, yani sanjeedgi ke sath quran ko is darje tak parha tha ke quran kya kehta hai? phir aap ne jump kiya? to yaqeen kijiye, aik shakhs ne bhi yeh nahin kaha. bas in ki sara jo source hai, woh internet ki maloomat hai.
51:56
aur internet ki maloomat kaun hai? woh extremist log bhar rahe hain. extremist logon ne internet ko apne liye bana liya hai zariya logon ko bharkane ka. aur is se kehte hain, nahin nahin, jhooti baatein is mein dalte hain. yani kahin ka koi, kisi ne mara kisi ko, koi lashain pari hui hain, us ko dikha dein ke dekho bhai, yeh musalmanon ki lashain hain, maar maar ke dali hui hain. aik bohat hi munazzam tor par is trend ko misuse ho raha hai. is se yeh log ban rahe hain.
52:30
aap kisi se, kisi aik youth se pooch lijiye ke tum ne library mein ja kar ke sanjeedgi ke sath parha ke islam kya hai? phir aisa kiya? to pata chale ke nahin, kuch bhi nahin. woh bhai, internet ki baatein parh parh ke ghussa ho gaye, wahan pohanch gaye. yeh yeh youth kuch bhi jante nahin islam ke bare mein, kuch bhi nahin jante, siwaye is ke ke internet par jo, yani ghalat khabrein bhari hui hain, isi isi se isi ka pata hai un ko. maulana, agla sawal adeel abad se kiya hai muhammad mehmood sahab ne, aur unhon ne likha hai ke aaj poori dunya mein muslim tanzeemein har jagah tashaddud aur fasad barpa kiye hue hain, aur isi ko woh naam dete hain jihad fi sabilillah ya iqamat deen ya islami hukumat ya islami nizam ka qaim waghera.
