maulana, agla sawal aya hai karachi pakistan se miss saira latif ka ۔ unhon ne likha hai: "aaj kal musalmanon ki mazhabi jamaaton aur idaron mein fikr akhirat ki kami kyun nazar aa rahi hai?" dekhen, yeh to hamesha is qom mein hota hai jis par zawal aa jaye. jis ko kehte hain degeneration. yeh is se pehle yahood mein hua. to yani koi bhi ummat ho, nasal dar nasal jab baad ki naslein ati hain, baad ki naslein, to un mein yahi hota hai ke zawal aa jata hai.

to door zawal mein kya hota hai? form baqi rehta hai, spirit ghayeb ho jati hai. jis tarah ke hadees mein aata hai ke ek zamana aayega jab ke lam yabqa min al-islam illa ismuhu. islam ka naam reh jayega. is ka matlab yeh hai ke form reh jayega, spirit nahi rahegi. yeh jo hadees hai lam yabqa min al-islam illa ismuhu. wa lam yabqa min al-quran illa rasmuhu. is ka matlab yahi hai ke islam ka form reh jayega, islam ki spirit ghayeb ho jayegi.

to yahi hai musalmanon ka haal. agar spirit zinda ho to akhirat ka fikr zinda hoga. spirit zinda na ho to duniyavi aitbar se kuch ek cultural activities ke taur par woh islam rahega un ke andar. aaj jo musalmanon mein islam hai, woh woh culture ke taur par hai. ek community culture bas. akhirat ke aitbar se nahi hai. aur yeh zawal ki bina par hai. ab jo kaam karne ka hai, woh yeh nahi ke isi form mein log fazail sunate hain. isi form mein fazail suna suna ke bheed ikattha karte hain.
1:14:06
nahi. un ki spirit ko zinda kijiye. un ke andar phir se thinking ko jagaiye. jo log isi isi form mein fazilaten sunate hain aur un ko isi form par qaim kiye hue hain aur bheed ikattha ho rahi hai wahan par, woh koi mein is ko koi haqeeqi khidmat nahi samajhta deen ki. aap logon ki taraf se phir se woh woh spirit wali jo soch hai, spirit wala jo islam hai, woh zinda kijiye un ke andar. tab akhirat ki fikr aayegi. tab jannat aur jahannum ka tasawwur aayega. to Allah se mohabbat aayegi. aur sari woh cheezen aayengi jo hum padhte hain kitabon mein.
