Correspondence with Maulana Abu A’la Maududi

English book, p. 202

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

on, all those sheets are completely blank, and there is no letter from you either. I cannot understand this. For context, when I first sent my writing to Maulana Maududi in May 1962, I included the entire work along with its ideas and conclusions. Later, however, I decided it was better to request his comments only on the theoretical section. Therefore, on the second occasion, I sent just that part. Sincerely, Wahiduddin After several days went by without any response from Maulana, I sent a second letter with these words: Azamgarh – April 16, 1963 Respected Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi, Greetings of peace, The articles I sent you were returned to me in the mail on March 26 without any response from you or any accompanying letter explaining why they were returned unopened. I had initially sent these articles to you in May 1962. While in Makkah, you had assured Mr Shams Peerzada that ‘I will respond to them.’ However, despite this promise, you returned them without a reply in July.
