His answer, in his own words
53:41
maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai, abdul rehman sahab ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana sahab! will those who get punishment in this world for their wrong doings? be also punished in the hereafter for the same?" yani punishment se kya murad? legal punishment court ke zariye se ? Maulana, general sense mein lag raha hai, likha nahi hai unhon ne. baat dekhein, agar is se murad legal punishment hai jo court ke zariye hoti hai, to woh alag cheez hai.

is se akhirat ki punishment saakit nahi hoti, woh alag cheez hai, woh alag cheez hai. yeh legal punishment to social harmony ko maintain karne ke liye hoti hai. yani society mein aman rahe, society mein khalal waqe na ho, to society ko ek darje ke aman baqi rahe, us ke liye hoti hai legal punishment. baqi jo akhirat ki punishment hai, woh is se bohat zyada aage ka mamla hai. is ka mamla poori creation se hai, insan ke wajood se hai, insan ki Allah ki jo blessing hai, us ke is se hai. woh sirf, yani sirf social noiyat ki cheez nahi hai.
