Correspondence with Maulana Abu A’la Maududi

DISCUSSION AND CORRESPONDENCE I have taken this stance. No other course of action would have been appropriate. Afterwards, if you are willing to step down from the elevated position from which you have spoken and recognize that the person you have repeatedly critiqued is at least not a novice, then there may be an opportunity for me to engage in discussion on the issues you have raised in your article. If not, the only options before you are those I have previously mentioned. Please do not mistake my candor for anger. I have no intention of leaving you with any misunderstandings. That’s why I spoke plainly before, and I am doing so again now. Humbly, Abul Ala After that, I sent the following letter to Maulana Maududi. Rampur – August 14, 1963 Your letter, dated August 5th, has been received. I thought you had become so displeased with me that this correspondence might not continue in the future. However, upon reading your latest letter, I am hopeful that there is still a ‘possibility’ that you may engage with me on the issues I raised in my article.
