Correspondence with Maulana Abu A’la Maududi

DISCUSSION AND CORRESPONDENCE remain silent on this issue indefinitely. So, why not say now whatever you would eventually say in the future? This would be an attempt on your part to resolve this issue through private conversation, avoiding public debate and conflict, just as I sent you my writing before considering it for publication with the same intention. In conclusion, if your knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah indicates that I am not on the right path and you have solid arguments for this, then it is your duty to correct me with those arguments. If you remain silent despite having evidence and tell me to continue promoting what you believe to be misguidance, I cannot understand how you will justify this before God. Sincerely, Wahiduddin Meanwhile, I kept waiting for Maulana Maududi’s response. But, two weeks went by, and during that time, I received a letter from Mr. Shams Peerzada, a member of the Central Advisory Council of Jamaate-Islami Hind and the leader of the Bombay branch of Jamaat-e-Islami. His letter mentioned an additional matter. Because of this, I sent a third letter to Maulana. Rampur – July 9, 1962 Respected Maulana Syed Abul A’la Maududi, Assalamu Alaykum,
