Saddened by Delhi's consumer culture
“Since four days, I have been in Delhi. I am very sad to see the Delhiites. They are totally trapped in consumer and entertaining culture. They sleep late and get up late at 12 in the morning. I try to do dawah work, but nobody is ready to listen.”Asked by Syed Mohsin Bilal, Saharanpur

1:05:09maulana, agla sawal saharanpur se hai, syed mohsin bilal sahab ka. unhone likha hai: "since four days, i have been in delhi. i am very sad to see the delhiites. they are totally trapped in consumer and entertaining culture. they sleep late and they get up late at 12 in the morning. i try to do dawah work, but nobody is ready to listen. they think they are intelligent. so how? how to give message to these kind of intelligent people?" dekhiye, aisa hundred percent nahi hai.
1:05:48aap seeker ko talash kijiye. seeker isi mein ek shakhs seeker hoga. misalan mein bata doon aap ko aaj hi ka experience. aaj ka hamare paas ek sahab aaye, jo senior professor hain, woh ab retire ho gaye hain. un ke yani woh eighties ke late eighties mein hain. woh is waqt to woh khud bhi english mein kitabein likhi hain. unhone
1:06:23to hamare paas aaye, ab taqreeban der tak rahe. woh hamare kai saathi bhi wahan maujood the. to hamare haan kitabein un ko di gayeen aur baatein huin. ab aaj hi un ke message aaye. aaj hi bohat ajeeb o ghareeb message. aap bataiye, kya message hai? ah, well, he gave a call in the morning and he said that i have been going through Maulana literature and i must say that its very rich and very comprehensive and daily i am getting you know something out of the literature. in fact, ah, he finished one book yesterday itself and he was saying that i will continue my study and when i reach back home because he is in this travel, i am going to write a letter to Maulana sahib.
1:07:11b. and one additional thing he said, what he said that i want to congratulate Maulana sahib because there are a lot of youngsters involved in this mission. so he was very happy and very moved by Maulana sahib literature. dekhiye, asal baat kya hai? aap bheed ko kyun dekhte hain? yani sab ko le kar kyun sochte hain? aap individual ko le kar sochiye. individual isi ko mein seeker keh raha hoon . agar aap bheed ko le kar sochenge to hamesha aap ko mayoosi milegi, frustration.
1:07:45lekin individual to hamesha maujood hote hain, un se kabhi dunya khali nahi hoti. to aap ka target individual hona chahiye, na ke bheed. tab aap aisi baat nahi farmayenge. maulana, agla sawal bidar karnataka se hai, yunusuddin sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, aksar log aap ki tehreer par yeh aitraaz karte hain ke aap anbiya aur sahaba par alaihi assalam ya radiallahu anhu nahi lagate." maulana, mera sawal yeh hai ke un ki deeni aitbar se kya ahmiyat hai ya nahi hai?
