Fear of God's selection ground

“Maulana, I am very scared by one of your statements: that the world is God's selection ground, meaning God will select according to His glory. So what will happen to us?”

His answer, in his own words
1:40:42
sawal kiya hai. unhone likha hai: "maulana, aap ki ek baat se bohat dar hota hai. woh yeh hai ke duniya khuda ka selection ground hai. yani khuda apni shan ke mutabiq select karega. to hamara kya haal hoga?" shan to mein ne kaha tha ke shan ke mutabiq. shan ke mutabiq nahi hai. apne criterion ke mutabiq. yani khuda ne jo criterion rakha hai us ke mutabiq. shan to mein ne kaha tha ke shan ke mutabiq. to aap woh criterion jo hai woh quran mein aur hadith mein daryaft kijiye aur us ke mutabiq zindagi guzarne ki koshish kijiye.

isi mein se ek yeh hai ke ek hadith mein hai ke rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne ek sahabi kehte hain ke rasool allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne mere kandhe par hath rakha. yeh ghaleban ibn abbas ki baat hai. aap ne farmaya ke ya baniyah, in istata'at, tusbih wa tumsi wa laysa fi qalbika ghishun li ahadin. fa'al. agar agar tum aisa kar sako ke tum raat ko so'o aur subah ko utho tumhare dil mein ghish na kisi ke khilaf ho. is mani wohi hote hain jo malice, hate, negativity woh na ho. to aisa karo kyunke aise logon ke liye jannat hai.
1:42:14
yeh hai criterion. criterion yani meyar. ke aap duniya mein is tarah zindagi guzarein ke aap aap hate free hon. kisi ke khilaf nafrat nahi. kisi ke khilaf kuch kuch qad nahi. aur dekhiye quran majeed mein hai ke quran majeed mein hai ke al-kazibeen al-ghayz. ghusse ko pee jane wale. yeh lafz nahi hai ke al-faqideen al-ghayz. faqideen nahi hai. yani aisa nahi ke ghussa sarr-e-se na aaye aap ke andar. yeh nahi kaha ja raha hai.
1:42:56
ghussa to aaye ga lekin ghussay ko aap control kar lain. ghussay ko pee jain. to yeh yeh criterion hai ke dunya mein is tarah raho ke chahe logon ne tum ko sataya ho, chahe logon ne tum ko kuch bura tajurba karwaya ho, phir bhi tum un ke khilaf nafrat dil mein mat rakho. logon ke liye duaen karo, logon ke liye achhi khwahishain rakho. yaani sab ke liye evolution bano. yeh criterion hai. to yeh shaan khudaWandi ki baat nahi hai, yeh mayar khudaWandi ki baat hai.
