Correspondence with Maulana Sadruddin Islahi

After waiting for a long time without any response from Maulana Sadruddin, I sent a reminder through Mr. Muhammad Farooq, a resident of Rampur. In reply, I received a letter from Mr. Farooq dated February 16, 1963, which contained the following: “I conveyed your message to Maulana Sadruddin. He said that his stance remains unchanged from before and that he sees no need to respond further. However, he may write to you directly.” Exactly one month later, I received the following letter from Maulana Sadruddin: Rampur–March 16, 1963 Dear Brother, Peace be upon you. I have already conveyed to you through Mr. Farooq Ahmed Khan that I remain firm in my previous opinion. However, since you requested a direct reply, I am sending this letter. The reasoning you presented in your letter does not seem applicable to the issue at hand, which is why I remain committed to what I stated in my previous letter. I consider it an appropriate decision. If you wish to discuss this matter further, you may consult with the central office, as my commentary on your work was not done personally or independently, as you are aware, but rather under the instructions
