MY THOUGHTS ON MAULANA WAHIDUDDIN KHAN - Dr. Rajat Malhotra

Al-Risala (English), August-September 2021, p. 17

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is named as the default author of the periodical; a piece that carries another writer’s byline is credited to that writer.

through contemplation and learning from nature. It is worthwhile to mention the titles of such books. Kitab-eZindagi, Raz-e-Hayat, Tamir-e-Zindagi, Tamir-e-Millat etc. The most noteworthy work of Maulana is the revival of the work of “Calling People to God”. The aspect of “Calling People to God” is missing from the whole body of Islamic literature while the whole Quran reminds us about it most after the realization that God invites people towards the task of “Calling People to Him”. Maulana has emphasized on this importance of reaching out to people with Islamic message and laid down methods of doing it in his several books devoted to this topic. These books are: Dawat-e-Islami, Dawat-e-Haq, Islami Dawat, Tariq-e-Dawath and so on. Last Word Maulana’s passing on April 21, 2021 came as a great shock. He was like a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. He extracted nectar wisdom from the Qur’an and the ways of the Prophet and described them in his more than 250 books in today’s language. Even though he is no longer present among us, we have his writings to find solutions for our modern day problems. May Allah Almighty grant Maulana a place in his neighborhood with the Prophet, the righteous and the truthful. Ameen. Maulana encouraged us all to continue the work of conveying the message of Islam, i.e. the Qur’an, to all the people of the world in their own language. I am determined to continue this work with my life and wealth till my last breath. May Allah accept it and make it easy for me. Ameen.
