tab ja kar yeh cheez khatam hogi. Maulana, agla sawal kya hai? Ajmer se Dr. Safeena Tabassum ne, aur unhone aap se poocha hai ke "how to identify a sincerity in a person" . bhai, dekhein, sincerity jo hai, yeh koi mathematical formula nahin hai. do aur do chaar ki tarah se is ko aap define nahin kar sakte. yeh ek subjective matter hai. subjective matter hai. ek pehchaan bata deta hoon aap ko, mere tajrube ke mutabiq, ke apni ghalti ko manna khule tor par. sincerity ki ek pehchaan yeh hai ke aadmi apni ghalti ko khule tor par maane, bilkul khule tor par. main ne apne tajrube mein to, yaani shayad ek do aadmi tareekh mile hon, mujhe ek do aadmi apni ghalti ko mante hi nahin.

log piece up karte hain, twist karte hain, ghumate phirate hain, lip service karte hain. khule dil se apni ghalti ko agar maan le aadmi sach much, to woh sincere hai. aadmi yeh is ki pehchaan hai, aur khule dil se pehchanne ka jo jo namoona hai, woh hai tum ne qaim kiya hai ke un ko ek ghalti nishandahi ki gayi un ki ke aap ne yeh jab bhi jab woh khaleefa thay, yeh faisla aap ka durust nahin hai. to aap bol pade: "lawla, lawla fulan lahlik Umar, lawla Ali lahlik Umar" ke agar fulan shakhs na hota to main to halak ho gaya tha. is darje ka etraaf agar aap dekhein kisi ke andar, aap sab lein ke woh sincere aadmi hai.

is darje ka etraaf aur lip service wala etraaf to sab hi karte hain. is ki koi, is ki koi value nahin hai. is ki koi value nahin hai. is darje ka etraaf ke "lawla fulan lahlik Umar", tab samjhein ke woh aadmi sincere aadmi hai. Maulana, agla sawal Dilli se aaya hai Miss Anki ka, aur unhone likha hai: "time and again I come across the question that Islam is a religion which spread with the power of sword from earliest days till current times".
