Correspondence with

Maulana Abul Lais Islahi Nadwi

My correspondence with Maulana Abul Lais Sahib includes two parts: the first part relates to obtaining a formal response from Jamaat-e-Islami regarding my writing, which was a formal exchange and not necessary to mention here. The second part began after I received Maulana Sadruddin Sahib’s response to my writings. On August 10, 1962, I informed him from Rampur by letter that “despite reading Maulana Sadruddin Sahib’s response several times and giving it considerable thought, there has been no change in my original viewpoint. If you wish, I can present my thoughts to you orally or in writing.” I then received the following reply:

Delhi – August 13, 1962

Dear Brother,

Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you,

I received your letter. I was disappointed to learn that after reading Maulana Sadruddin Sahib’s response, there has been no change in your original viewpoint. Nonetheless, kindly jot down your thoughts briefly and send them, which will make it easier to reflect upon them.

Regards, Abul Lais
