Waqt jab insaaf karta hai to , na saboot ki zaroorat padhti hai aur na gawahon ki. . . . . . jab nuamlat tumhari pohnch se bahir nikla jaye to ALLAH pe chor do woh sab kuch aesa kare ga k tum kabhi soch nahi sakte .................... AUr hindu mat soche k aesa karne se muslaman darr jayenge hum sirf aik hi zaat se darte hai aur woh ALLAH ki zaat hai aur woh hamare sath hai hume us pe pura yakeen hai woh jo kare ga behtar kare ga.................
