Every true muslim's blood boils when he sees the tabarrah majalis by shias on youtube. But in prevailing conditions we have to offer sacrifices and be cool. The reason; today the enemies of Islam are waiting for an opportunity to use the division among the ummah.
And especially in Pakistan, the first priority is to bring peace in the country. In the chaotic conditions every one has gone mad, no one knows why is he killing and victim doesn't know why he got killed.
First priority; remove chaos and bring peace and order. Other things can have lower priority.
Please maintain respect for each other and Ulamaa (if topic is about a scholar) by avoiding accusations and slanderous comments. Also remember that in order for criticism to be constructive, it must be channeled in the right direction. If there is any doubt in a matter, it is better to ask, clarify or to remain silent rather than to speak ill of another person.
More a person abuses or accuses other persons, it is a fashion now to call the person of higher taqwah. Subhanallah!!
As the list of people taken to task grows, the taqwah is assumed to be higher, our hadhrath won't tolerate.
Maudoodi sahib, sir syed ahamed khan, then peer Zulfiqar sahib, molana saad sahib, junaid jamshed, hashim amla, moulana tariq jameel sahib.... as the list grows, it is assumed that the taqwah grows. Subhanallah.

Moudoodi sahib was not "All bad", He was not "All good" either...
Like many other scholars those who like him exaggerate his qualities...and those who don't like him highlight his mistakes. He was neither an angel nor a devil. His service are to be appreciated where he writes against the western civilisation and where he exposes the evil face of materialism...I wish he had restricted his efforts only to that task. He failed where he started acting like a Faqeeh and started giving comments on the subjects he simply did not know and therefore committed blunders. The uluma had to check him there and then....it was their duty !
One important trait of his writings was a very casual way of addressing the AKABIR of Din including Sahaba...and uluma/Mashaikh. It is obvious that when one gets used to treat Mashaikh and uluma with disrespect, after sometimes he starts taking even Sahaba lightly...and the next level is that of the prophets (may Allah save us all).
Maudoodi sahib was a victim of his own writing style. In his Tafseer he has almost always spoken very high of the Prophets and Sahaba EXCEPT two or three places where he was carried away... But even once is not good :(
In any case his services to Din are overwhelming. Unfortunately most of his critics have not read him thoroughly otherwise they might have found many good things in him too ! Wallaho Alam
Maududism is more foul and deviant than the rejection of taqlid. Look at the books of Maududi. He not only encourages dislike for Imam Abu Hanifah and the imams and jurists (fuqaha). Rather, he also dishonours the Noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the great khalifahs. Venom is spurted out regarding the imams of Hadith and the noble mujtahids. If a teacher is of this view, then what type of poison will be given to students—evaluate this yourself. The person who speaks absurd things in relation to Imam Abu al-Hasan Ash‘ari, Imam Ghazali, Mujaddid Alf-i-Thani, Shah Waliullah, Shah ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, Khwaja Mu‘in al-Din Chishti et al and whose writings are full of this, then the teacher who considers him correct, what sort of deviance and error will he be the cause of amid students. Evaluate this yourself.
Because of this, we only say that those who follow this track should definitely not be in an institute. Students or teachers should not look at the books of Maududi—assess this yourself. We have observed such that if someone, despite being of the same track, was either lacking in pious actions (be-‘amal) or whose actions were bad (bad-‘amal), then such a person would be of great harm in the administration of education.
I consider the action of Haji Qa’im al-Din to be correct. If Molwi ‘Abd al-Halim Sahib is of the same view as the Maududis and is in support of them, and he has established this view having read his books etc. then he should definitely be excluded from the institute. What takes place in future is your choice. The announcement we have made regarding the Maududis has been done with thought and understanding having taken into consideration his books and actions and having witnessed his impact. That which has not been written so far and not been published yet is much more. His books are full of deviancy. Be vigilant, be vigilant. Wassalam.

There is a saying "If a deviant teaches quran to our children he shall spoil their Imaan"
But prevailing situation in Indian sub-continent demands that we shall have good relation with every group here including JI. We can disagree with them but don't hate them and spread hatred against them. Strong message shall go that we disagree with Maudoodi sahib.
Other day we went to meet muslim brothers in a locality in gashth. A group of people were sitting in one business establishment. The group said "Only Kaafirs are here" and we left without talking to them. The guide (rahbar said), they are JI followers and the local ulema are very vocal in calling them kaafirs.
When a Muslim calls another Muslim a Kaafir, and the accusation is incorrect, then the label of Kufr is upon themselves. But these fools in the so-called establishment made Takfeer on themselves.... Unbelievable attitude. Such arrogance and pride, both qualities that don't fit mankind
I just checked this point about Abdullah bin Masood at the online English translation of tafheemul Quran. The above attribution to maududi is the exact opposite of what he says. I quote from part of the discussion:
Quote:
But wicked indeed would be the person who went beyond describing a wrong act as wrong and started reproving and finding fault with the Companions of the Holy Prophet of Allah. Concerning the Mu'awwidhatayn the commentators and traditionists have described the opinion of Ibn Mas'ud as wrong, but no one has dared to say that by denying these two Surahs of the Qur'an, he had, God forbid, become a disbeliever.
That's a pretty serious misquote! So I felt compelled to reply to correct it. Alas, it is still there on the first page and my reply is on the last page :( in the future we should be much more careful, as a scholar one has an obligation to cross reference factual transmissions from our teachers as well.
I was reading a book by Molana Maududi RA. He writes.
1. He has the right to criticize anyone other than prophet SAS. Because only Prophet is masoom.
2. Even if an hadith is saheeh in its sanad, he would weigh it logically, if his mind accepts he takes it. Only Quran is above this.
3. First two Khulfa could do real service to deen; later two khulfa had limitations. And after that, real Islam was missing in rulers.
3. "No real Mujaddid is born in history". He has discussed about personalities; Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Azeez RA, Aimmah Arbah, Imam Ghazali RA, Shah waliullah RA, Imam Timiyah RA, Molana Sirhindi RA etc. He presents good research about qualities of these personalities and then, at the end he drops a bomb shell, Molana in few words, find faults or presents their limitations and proves that they were not mujaddid.
4. Molana says that qualities of Imam Mahdi discussed in ahadith are illogical. (After reading qualities Molana has discussed about imam Mahdi, My view is that Molana was expecting Imam Mahdi to be a graduate from Defence Academy).
5. Teachings of Tasawwuf and stress on ibadah was state sponsored by rulers to stop people from demanding justice or correcting rulers. And rulers can rule freely.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
