Correspondence with Maulana Abu A’la Maududi

I await your response on this matter with anticipation. Sincerely, Wahiduddin Later, I found out that Maulana Maududi had sent me a letter along with the returned articles. However, I did not receive it on time. I received this letter in the third week of April. Here is a copy of that letter: Lahore – March 21, 1963 Respected and Honourable, Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, After sending your articles, you repeatedly asked in multiple letters for my comments. After a brief review, I initially told you that you’ve reached such a high and distant level that any discussion with you has become impossible and pointless. However, you refused to accept my suggestion and kept insisting. I have once again studied your writings carefully, and I am compelled to reaffirm that engaging in a written debate with you is neither possible nor suitable for me. Currently, I have before me a more appropriate use for my limited strength and time. Therefore, I respectfully withdraw from this matter and hope that you will refrain from further correspondence, as it would only waste both your time and mine.
