1:11:31Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se kiya hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ne, aur unhon ne likha hai: "People think that once they have performed the form of prayer, that is enough. That they are gods' worshippers. Is it right? Please explain this." Dekhein, worship log samajhte hain ke ek form hai, is ko dohrana. Woh worship hai hi nahin. Worship us waqt banegi jab is ke andar is ki spirit maujood ho. Hadees mein aata hai ke la salata liman lam yatakhasha.
1:12:11La salata liman lam yatakhasha. Jis ki namaz mein khushu na ho, yani fear of God na ho, us ki namaz namaz nahin. Ek riwayat mein aata hai ke ek shakhs ne Masjid Nabwi, jo Madina mein hai, woh aaya, wahan us ne do rakat namaz padhi. Phir Rasool Allah ke paas aaya. To Rasool Allah ne farmaya ke irja' fasalli fa innaka lam tusal. Jao, phir se namaz padho, kyunke tum ne namaz nahin padhi. Ke is aadmi ne form ko dohra diya tha, lekin is ke andar khushu maujood nahin tha.
1:12:51To yeh to bohat anokhi baat hai ke log form ke dohrane ko samajhte hain ke unhon ne worship kar liya. Form relative hai, aur khushu jo hai, woh real hai. Jab tak real part na ho, sirf relative part ho, to woh kisi amal ko worship nahin bana sakta. Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se kiya hai Dr. Anwar Abbas sahib ne, aur unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke "How do I realize God's inspiration?" .
