maulana, agla sawal mumbai se hai, mr kabir khan ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana sahib, you always guide people to not to protest. my question is, is peaceful protest allowed in islam?" hargiz nahi, yeh bilkul ek ek yani galat kaam ko justify karne ke liye khoobsurat lafz bolna hai. peaceful protest is nothing. har har har protest ka reaction hota hai, har chahe woh peaceful ho, tab bhi yeh pooch bhi toh ek ek ek ek lafz hai.

bas koi koi kabhi bhi koi protest peaceful nahi hota. impossible hai ke peace protest koi peaceful ho . yeh toh jhoota lafz hai, main us ko jhoota lafz kahunga. aur sab se bari baat yeh hai ke rasool Allah ke zamane mein makka mein 360 but rakhe hue the kaba mein. woh kaba jo hazrat ibrahim ne banaya tha, hazrat ibrahim ne, hazrat ismail ne, do peghambaron ne banaya tha kaba. do peghambar kis ke liye? tauheed ke liye. is mein zalimon ne la ke but rakh diya 360.

to aap rasool Allah ne protest kiya. aap bata sakte hain koi peaceful protest? jo log aise sawalat karte hain, main samajhta hoon ke un ko naam lene ka haq nahi hai islam ka. woh kahein ke hum islam chhod diya, hum muhammad ko chhod diya. to boliye, yeh sab baatein islam ke naam lete hain, apne alfaaz bolte hain. main samajhta hoon ke woh aadmi jab tak aap islam ko chhod na de, yeh alfaaz bolne ka haq nahi rakhta. us ko yani us se bara waqea kya ho sakta hai ke kaba mein 360 but rakhe hue hon? rasool Allah dekhein, un ko apni aankh se 13 saal tak rozana rozana rozana aur kabhi aap ne protest nahi kiya, na peaceful, na koi sarr se kuch kuch bhi nahi.

to aap agar aap islam ko mante hain to us ko amal kijiye, nahi to ailan kar diya ke bhai mujhe islam se koi matlab nahi hai, mujhe apne apne nafs pe chalna hai, apne nafs ki khwahish pe chalna hai. protest yaad rakhiye, protest ka talluq qatan ghair islami hai. there is no protest of protest in islam. main sakht us ke khilaf hoon. main ne bohat likha hai us ke upar, aap chahein to parh lijiyega. maulana bhopal se agla sawal aaya hai, mr vinesh sharma ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, wherever we see in the world, there is suffering, either poverty, corruption, illness and so on.
