Maulana, agla sawal Doctor Safeena Tabassum ne kiya hai Ajmer se, aur unhone poocha hai aap se ke "What should be the duties of a good listener?" is ke baray mein batayen. bhai, main to samajhta hoon ke good listener woh hai jo kam se kam do bar sune. yani aik bar direct sune, us ke baad phir dobara us ka record sune. kyunke is ke baghair woh aadmi samajh nahin sakta ke lecture mein kya kaha gaya tha. nahin samajh sakta.

jo bare bare writer hain dunya mein, unhon ne apne jis ko aap samjha ke woh mayari samjha, mayari, us ke us ki writing ko bar bar parha unhon ne. to agar aap kisi lecture ko samajhte hain ke is ke andar sachai batai gai hai, to kam se kam us ko do bar parhna hai. main samajhta hoon ke yeh yeh minimum shart hai kisi insaan ke good listener hone ki. Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle ek comment parhna chahenge jo jnu se abdulrehman sahib ne bheja hai, aur unhon ne likha hai:
