maulana, agla sawal lete hain jo pakistan se bheja hai abdul latif sahib ne. unhon ne likha hai: "aik shakhs apni azadi ka ghalat istemal kar ke hamein ghussa dilata hai, to hamein ghussa nahi hona chahiye. kyunkeh is ka hamein ghussa dilana Allah ke takhleeqi mansoobay ke bana par hai. lekin rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam basa auqat ghussa ho jatay thay. to aap ki is amal ki tawjeeh ka hum kya karengay?" dekhiye, rasool Allah ka jo ghussa hota tha, apni zaat ke liye nahi hota tha. yeh hadith mein aaya hai, woh principle par hota tha. woh woh ghussa haqeeqat mein wohi hai jis ko main kehta hoon language of hammering.

is ko ghussa hona mat kahiye. yani jaise aaj maine bola, main yeh yeh koi keh sakta hai keh aap ghusay mein bol ein, ghussa nahi bolay. woh language, that was language of hammering. to rasool Allah is tarah bolte thay: "aata tha is tarah taqaza ho, yeh yeh marha tana hadith mein aata hai keh kun mandirja is tarah bolte thay aap kisi se keh koi fouj hamla karne wali ho, us ki khabar de rahe ho aap." to rasool Allah ka jo ghazab hota tha, isi baray mein hota tha. aaj main bola hoon, isi tarah ka hota tha. keh shiddat, yani shiddat kalam. jab aap jab aap bohat ziyada mehsoos karein kisi baat ko, to aap ke andar shiddat aa jayegi. isi ko log kahengay keh sahib ghusay mein bolay. main jo kuch bola aaj, ghusay mein nahi bol raha hoon. yeh shiddat ehsas tha jo ubal pada.

yaad rakhiye, rasool Allah ke baray mein jo ghazab ka lafz aata hai, woh shiddat izhaar ke maani mein hai. woh shiddat izhaar. aur aaj main bol raha hoon, wohi mera muamla tha keh maine jo bola hoon, woh woh shiddat izhaar tha, woh ghussa nahi tha. is ko aap nafsiati aitbar se ghor kiye to yeh baat clear ho jayegi. maulana, agla sawal roorkee se kiya hai sajid anwar sahib ne. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana, what is the root cause of muslims failure to recognize the age of democracy and the age of science?
