A few days later, I sent the following letter as well:

Azamgarh–December 8, 1962

Respected Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi,

Greetings of peace,

Given your increasing commitments, you might feel that I am unnecessarily involving you in this issue. Yet, as you know, each person naturally regards the issue closest to their heart as the most important and worthy of attention. It is for this reason alone that I have ventured to interrupt your busy schedule.

I hope that overlooking my impertinences, you will find the time to consider my issue and will soon send a detailed response to my questions.

Sincerely,

Wahiduddin
