Dealing with misunderstandings

“You have written in Al-Risala that misunderstanding is always baseless. If a misunderstanding arises about someone, a person should either immediately forget it or meet that person directly to remove the misunderstanding. He should not spread the misunderstanding among others. Doing so is building a weak personality.”Asked by Sharkh Hussain Riazi, Delhi

His answer, in his own words

Mr Sharukh Hussain Mathi ne Dilli se sawal kiya hai. Unhone likha hai: "Aap ne Al-Risala mein likha hai ke misunderstanding hamesha baseless hoti hai. agar kisi ke bare mein misunderstanding paida ho to aadmi ya to foran us ko bhula de ya woh us aadmi se direct mil kar misunderstanding ko door kar le. woh misunderstanding ko le kar doosron ke darmiyan na phailaye. Aisa karna apne andar weak personality banana hai. Maulana sahib, weak personality ka nuqsan kya hai aur us ko kaise theek kiya jaye?"

ab isi misaal mein aap dekh lijiye ke ek baat pahunchi kisi aadmi ko aur us ko woh tehqeeq nahi karta aur maan leta hai. to is se kya mizaj banega? Is ka is ka mizaj yeh banega ke jhoot sach sab maan lo, jhoot bhi maan lo, sach bhi maan lo. Yaani sahi baat hai, tab bhi mano, galat hai, tab bhi mano. yeh yeh is ke andar banegi personality. Kyun ke aadmi ne jo suna, woh agar galat tha aur us ko maan rakha hai us ne, to usi ke naam to hai weak personality ke jhoot ko sach samajhna, untrue ko true samajhna, jis cheez ki koi base nahi hai, us ko samajhte rehna.

to isi ka naam hai weak personality. To aadmi ko karna kya hai? karna yeh hai ke scrutiny ka awaz daal rahe hain. Scrutiny tehqeeq, koi baat suna hai to us ko tehqeeq kare. Nahi to yeh prize deni padegi ke aap ke andar weak personality banegi. aur weak personality ka nuqsan kya hoga? Phir ke aap ko farishton ki shahwat nahi milegi, Allah ki marifat hasil nahi hogi, Allah ki qurbat aap ko nahi milegi. to weak personality ka bohat nuqsan hota hai, bohat nuqsan hota hai

ke aap ke andar woh jo jo matloob hai, jo shakhsiyat, muqaddas shakhsiyat, woh banti nahi. Jab woh nahi banti hai to aap ko na farishton se bhi doori hai, Khuda se bhi doori hai, phir jannat se bhi doori hai. yeh to bohat hi tawakkun cheez hai. Mr Asif ka Dilli se sawal hai. Unhone likha hai: "Rajneeti sirf ladai aur matbhed ka zariya hai. Kyun ke rajneeti mein insaan ek doosre ke against bolta hai.
