aur agla sawal hai maulana iqbal umri sahib ka chennai se: "deen ki taabeer mein ghalti ko kaise find out karein?" quran o hadees se compare kijiye. woh taabeer ghalti jo hoti hai, woh to deviation hota hai. to quran o hadees se aap compare kijiye, aap jaan lenge.

misalan quran mein hai ke: "aqbuddin, aqbuddin ke baray mein deen ki pairwi karo." ab aap us pe nikalenge ke zinda uthao to us mein mauqoof hai hi nahi. to jab aadmi seriously soche ga to woh jaan le ga ke main khud sakhta hoon to nikaal raha hoon, aayat mein to aisa hai hi nahin.
