maulana, agla sawal mehtab sahab ne kiya hai, dhampur se. aur unhon ne likha hai ke maulana sahib What is your comment on the Quranic ayat khuliqal insana ajula Is it a negative term or is there any positivity in it? please comment. jab Allah ki takhleeq ka muamla yeh hai to zahir hai ke positive lena padega is ko. hum negative term nahin le sakte. ke kyunke Allah ki jo takhleeq hai woh sab ki sab positive takhleeq hai. negative takhleeq koi bhi nahin hai. hum apne istemal ke aitbar se is ko negative banate hain. khud takhleeq ke aitbar se koi cheez negative nahin hai.

to is ayat ka matlab hai ke insan ko paida kiya gaya hai, is ke andar jald bazi ka zehn hai. jaldi kaam ko jaldi karna. to main samajhta hoon ke yeh jaldi ka jo muamla hai, yeh is ka ta'alluq hai incentive se. incentive se, motivation se. to agar insan ke andar bohat zyada shauq na ho to bara kaam bhi woh nahin kar sakta. to insan ka bohat zyada shauq aur bohat zyada is ke andar jazba hona, is ka ek phenomena hai ajal.

ajal is ka ek phenomena hai. lekin insan ko chahiye ke woh transfunction karta rahe aur apne aap ko criticize karta rahe. jaise sarkon par speed breaker hote hain to aap apne aap ko criticize karta rahe. woh muaddal banata rahe. to insan ka ajal pasand hona, main samajhta hoon ke yeh apne aap mein mein negative nahin hai. albata agar koi aadmi apna introspection na ho to woh negative result is mein aa sakta hai.
