le focused hain. To dono ki zarurat hai apne apne apne aitbar se. Ji Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se kiya hai Maulana Maulana Farhad Umri ne, aur unhone likha hai ke Maulana, what is fitna that is mentioned in many hadith? can we say that not adopting alternative way would also be considered as a fitna? sahi hai, nateeje ke aitbar se fitna ban jayega, aur ye fitna sare muslim mulkon mein phaila hua hai. Yani chunke wo alternative istemal nahi kar pate, ladne lagte hain, to bahut sari buraiyan paida ho gayi hain. wo fitna hai, to aap sahi keh rahe hain. Ji
