Since I was delayed in writing this response due to my travels, Maulana mistakenly thought I was unwilling to have the conversation and wanted a decision without a final discussion. As a result, the very next day, I received the following letter, signed by the Secretary of Jamaat:

Delhi–April 25, 1963

Respected Brother,

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

The honourable Amir Jamaat’s letter dated April 10, 1963, has yet to receive a response, nor have you arrived here. It appears that you have chosen the last of the three options mentioned in that letter. Therefore, with great reluctance, we inform you that your name has been struck off the membership list.

Wassalamu Alaykum wa ala man ladaykum (Peace be upon you, and upon all those with you).

Your Brother,

Muhammad Yusuf
