maulana, agla sawal ahmedabad se hai ammat mr ammit shah ka. unhon ne likha hai: "most of the time we do not get to know that we are committing mistakes. my question is that how can we identify our mistakes so that we can correct it?" maulana sahib, please let us know what is the formula for it. yeh formula to bohat hi aasan hai. yani criteria daryaft kiya ja sakta hai. to criteria yani ghalat aur sahi ka criteria kya hai? yeh daryaft kar lijie. phir isi ko judge karte jaiye, isi ko judge karte jaiye.

hum ne jo daryaft kiya hai woh yeh hai ke hum quran ko criteria mante hain. quran hai, quran ko quran ko furqan kaha gaya hai. furqan ka matlab hai criteria. to agar aap ke paas criteria maujood hai to bohat aasani se aap judge kar sakte hain ke yeh theek hai, yeh nahi theek hai. criteria na ho tab to phir clear, phir to aap nahi tay nahi kar sakte. then you cannot determine. to mere liye mera masla aasan hai kyunke maine quran ko furqan ke taur par yani criteria ke taur par daryaft kar rakha hai. is liye main foran judge kar leta hoon ke mera kaun sa kaam sahi hai, kaun sa ghalat hai.

ab aap sab se pehle yeh sochiye ke aap ka criteria kya hai? woh agar tay kar lenge aap to phir bohat aasan hoga sab cheezon ko samajhna. Maulana, agla sawal Bangalore se hai Mr. Vineesh Sharma ka. Unhone aapse poocha hai: "That why is it that in Islam alone there are so many misconceptions?"
