aap ise phir se sochiye to aap yeh baat aap ko clear ho jayegi. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai, miss naghma siddiqui ka . unhone aapse poocha hai: "contentment is the door to shukr. can you please elaborate on this?" sahi hai, contentment se aap destruction se bach jaate hain. besk baat hai distrakshan. distrakshan agar aap containment ka tareeqa na ikhtiyar karein to kya hoga? shauq ke peeche daudeinge, khwahish ke peeche daudeinge, numaish ke peeche daudeinge, fashion ke peeche daudeinge. to kya hai?

distract hote rahenge. jab distract hote rahenge to Allah ke bare mein sochne ka sochne ka waqt hi aap ke paas nahi hoga. jab aap Allah ke liye sochenge, tab to shukr aayega. nahi to shukr aayega kaise? shukr jo hai, ek deep thinking se aata hai. shukr yeh nahi ke lip service karte hue kuch bol dein. aap Khuda tera shukr hai, yeh shukr nahi hai. shukr yeh hai ke aap deep thinking karein. aap ko ek discovery ho, us discovery aap ke munh se nikal pade. to us ke liye zaroori hai ke aap logon ko distraction se bachayein, warna warna shukr koi lip service hogi, haqeeqi shukr nahi hoga.
