agla sawal Maulana Mas Sadia ne kiya hai Dilli se. unhon ne likha hai ke "When the implementation of an ideology is less than ideal, then what is the purpose that ideology serves? Kindiely explain." Dekhiye, ideology jo hai, wahi to le kar ek aadmi apne aap ko theek karta hai. agar agar mujhe yeh maloom ho ke meri koi ideology nahi hai to mera to personality nahi banegi. to ideology ek aadmi ka zaati target hota hai. lekin aap jab samaj mein aayein, logon ke darmiyan aayein to aap wahan, aap aap wahan aap ko practor banna padta hai.

mera matlab yeh nahi hai ke ideology jo hai ya ideal, idealism jo hai, woh is tarah se ghair zaroori hai. to mera manna hai ke idealism ek shakhs ki zaat ke liye to bahut hi important hai. is se aadmi ko target milta hai ke mujhe yeh banna hai, yeh banna hai, yeh banna hai. lekin samaj mein chuki bahut se log hote hain, is liye aap ko wahan practical banna padta hai. agar agar ek ideal na ho to fard ka, fard ko koi nishana nahi milega. agar ideal na ho to ek individual ko aage badhne ke liye koi target nahi rahega.

yani target aisa hona chahiye jo aadmi hamesha is mein sar garam rahe. to mera manna yeh hai ke individual, individual ke liye idealism aur samaj ke liye practical. yani yani yani yani aadmi, yaani hum ko apni zaat ke liye to ideal banna chahiye, apni zaat ke liye, lekin samaaj ke liye humein practical banna chahiye. yeh mera manna hai.

mister abdul rehman ne dilli se likha hai: "maulana sahib, since the agitation of anna hazare, there are a lot of debates, discussions and articles regarding how to eradicate corruption from India. kindly put forward the best method as per you." dekhen, yeh bart waghera se yeh sab cheezein khatam nahi hoti. iska bart se koi talluq nahi hai. yeh to aap logon ko educate karen, is se hogi. bart se khatam ho jaye corruption, yeh aap corruption ko under estimate karenge. jo aadmi yeh samjhe ke bart rakhne se corruption khatam ho jayega, woh corruption ko under estimate kar raha hai. aap ko insaan ko educate karna hai, insaan ke mind ko badalna hai, insaan ki soch ko badalna hai.

tab ja ke corruption khatam hoga. yeh ek long term planning hai. waqti dhoom machane se corruption khatam nahi ho sakta hai. yeh bohat lambi baat hai, is ko mein yahan nahi kar sakta. koi sahib ko interest ho to mere paas aa jayen, mein un ko bataunga ke meri soch kya hai is maamle mein. maulana, un ka ek aur sawal hai. unhon ne likha hai ke "the opinion that jesus christ was taken alive to heaven when people wanted to kill, when people wanted to kill him is rampant in muslim families.
