Gifts

Q: Meri dost he. Usne ye sawal puchha hy wo bachon ko tution aur quran pak prhti hy free men. Uski dusri frnd bhi yehi kaam krti hen unki talbat un ke lye gifts lkr ati hen jis se andaza hta hy k talbat ko mualima se muhabat hy. Ye dekh kr meri dost ka dil bhi krta hy k ussy b uski talbat gifts aur hadya den taake usy mehsus ho k wo b apni talbat ko aziz hy. Ab meri dost ye pushna chahti hy k agr esa khyal dil m ata hy to is se gunah hga ya ye khyal krna jaez hy? Aur ye khyal dil m hi ata hy wo kbhi kisi se mangti nhi kuchh.
