Vaa.iz To Banate Hain Musalman Ko Kafir — Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning
Preachers only turn believers into disbelievers (by declaring them infidels), but sadly, they will never turn a disbeliever into a true believer.
Explanation
In this biting yet witty satire, the poet targets the narrow-minded preacher whose rigid dogmatism drives people apart rather than bringing them together. Quick to judge and condemn, such moralizers are always eager to label fellow believers as heretics or outcasts over petty differences. The true irony and tragedy is that they completely lack the warmth, empathy, and spiritual grace needed to actually touch someone's heart and win them over to faith.
