Point 1:
The mention of Maulana Maududi (RA), Dr Zakir Naik & Dr Israr Ahmed (RA) are brought in as comparison and Alhumdolillah you agree with the comparative point and get what I am saying.
Point 2:
What I also said is that TODAY (2016) the reach of JJ is far greater than Maulana Maududi (RA) [again in 2016 and not in his prime]...Therefore his refutation or at least distancing of Deobandees (from him) is necessary.
Point 3:
The issues with Maulana Maududi (RA) and disagreement with Deoandees is NO WAY an issue of Aqeedah with Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jam’aah at all! Aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jam’aah is clearly highlighted by Salaf and differences over Khilafah, Taqleed, Tassawuff are only issues of Aqeedah in the minds of the Deobandees.
The issue with Dr Zakir Naik is primarily over Taqleed vs Taqleed Shaksi, again neither an issue of Aqeedah nor makes someone a Kaafir. Although Dr Zakir Naik has Salafi Aqeedah but most Deobandees don’t raise this as an issue but his disregard of Taqleed Shaksi is what gets under their skin. This approach in itself is childish because of course Aqeedah of Dr Zakir Naik is a much bigger issue.
