ME AND MAULANA: A PERSONAL RECOLLECTION OF WAHIDUDDIN KHAN - John M. Butt

MAULANA’S CONTRIBUTION TO ISLAM Shikha Siddiqi, Atlanta, Georgia, USA O ur interaction with Maulana were during our annual India trips. We would always attend the Sunday class. I was always struck by his simple and practical responses to the events in the world and questions he would be asked by his audience. Maulana made it his life’s mission to make Islam accessible to all mankind. He was not influenced by culture and made his message inclusive to all. I was struck by how many of his outward facing team comprised of women. He changed the perception of Islam to the world by focusing on peace, positivity and inclusivity. We miss his presence, but he has left behind a strong organization that is working tirelessly to spread his message. MY VIEW OF CPS AND MAULANA WAHIDUDDIN KHAN Faisal Siddiqi, Atlanta Georgia, USA S ome years ago, I did not know much about Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. When I did get to know him, I was impressed by his ability to attract and hold the energies of seekers and by his responses to the common questions.
