is ke aage jo hai, woh Allah taala se dua karen. Maulana, agla sawal kya hai? Mr Salman Ahmed ne Delhi se, unhon ne likha hai ke "If someone visualizes God, please tell me is itright or wrong?" bilkul jhoot hai. yeh sufia ne aik bidat nikali hai ke woh muraqba karte the, un ko koi jhuliyan dikhai thin, unhon ne kaha tha, "unhon ne Khuda ko dekha hai." sab phir jhooti baaten hain. Hazrat Aisha ne kaha hai ke jis ne kaha ke Rasool Allah ne Khuda ko dekha to jhoot kaha, faqat kazab. tujhe Rasool Allah ne dekha to doosra kaun dekh sakta hai? sab shaitani baaten hain. is se toba karna chahiye. aap Khuda ko dekh nahi sakte is dunya mein, akhirat mein dekhen ge, inshallah. yahan nahi dekh sakt

e. yahan to aap ko Khuda ko yaad karna hai, Khuda ki kitab ko parhna hai, Khuda par ghor o fikr karna hai aur Khuda ki sifat mein, is ke attribute mein Khuda ko pana hai. yaad rakhiye, Khuda ki zaat mein aap nahi pa sakte Khuda ko. koi koi aap Khuda ki zaat ko, haan, is ka creation aap samne hai, hamare is ka har cheez jo hai, har cheez mein Khuda ka kamalat dikhai de rahe hain. wahan Khuda ko discover kijiye.
