Correspondence with Maulana Abul Lais Islahi Nadwi

Response: Azamgarh – December 27, 1962 Respected Maulana Abul Lais Sahib, Assalamu Alaykum, I received your letter dated December 19. I regret that each time, instead of addressing the main issue, you write things that, while legally covering your response, still leave the core problem unresolved. I called Maulana Sadruddin’s condition a refusal because he has not explained precisely what flaw in my approach prevents him from responding to my commentary. I even wrote to him asking for clarification, but his reply addressed other matters without explaining the supposed flaw in my approach. When I tried to determine it myself, I concluded that my comments likely refuted his points based on reasoning. If this constitutes a flaw in my approach, it’s clear I cannot abandon it. If it’s something else, then he should clarify it. Regarding the questions from Maulana Jalil Ahsan, you wrote in your letter dated October 20: “Maulana Jalil Ahsan Sahib has written that the questions he sent to you are not irrelevant. However, if their relevance is unclear to you, you may inquire about this from him.”
