Maulana, agla sawal Faraz sahib ne kiya hai Bhopal se. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, one of the reasons for a person not to be able to develop art of thinking is distraction. Today office and family life makes it difficult to save oneself from distraction. How can one develop art of thinking in the jungle of distraction?" is ke bare mein bhai to Allah ka yahi nizam hai. Aap chahte hain ke naya nizam aap kaise pa len to woh to possible nahin hai. Quran mein hai ke: "Laqad khalaqnal insana fi kabad".

Hum ne insaan ko paida kiya hai problem ke jungle mein. to aap apni aqal ko develop kijiye, manage karna seekhiye, apne andar woh siftat paida kijiye jo jis se aap is challenge ka muqabla kar saken. yani take it as a challenge rather than as a problem. yahi hai formula.
