Correspondence with Maulana Abu A’la Maududi

trying to correct me and for pre-emptively concluding that I am not open to guidance. Sincerely, Wahiduddin Lahore – August 5, 1962 Respected and Honourable Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah I received your letter dated July 25. After years of writing and interacting with many people, I have developed enough ability to gauge a person’s mental state by reading their work. After reading your article, the impression I get is that, on the one hand, you have built a strong sense of self-confidence and pride. On the other hand, you also seem to have a significant aversion to the perspective you intend to challenge. You have even gone so far as to harshly criticize the person presenting this view. After reaching this point, you now turn to me. Do you expect me to engage in a debate with you? Please review your article critically, considering the standpoint from which you are speaking and the assumptions you have made about me from start to finish. If you still have any capacity for self-reflection, I hope that, after critically examining your own article, you will understand why
