maulana yeh agla sawal bhi doctor muslima siddiqui ka hai dehli se. yeh likhti hain there is a hadith duniya ki garmi jahannum ki phoonk se hai. please explain. dekhiye yeh to tamseel hai symbolic sense mein hai. yeh matlab nahi hai ke sach much hi jahannum phoonk marti hai. is ka matlab yeh hai ke jab garmi ki shiddat tum ko sataye to tum yaad karo ke jahannum ki ki garmi kitni sakht hogi. aur apni islaah karo. Apne aap ko aakhirat ke pakad se bachane ki fikr karo. Yeh matlab hai is ka. Yeh nahi ke woh sach much koi phoonkti hai aur yahan is ki saans aati hai.
