I have been told not to read the books of Maulana Maududi. Why is this?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Abul A’la Maududi was not a qualified Alim (Islamic scholar). He differed from the qualified scholars on many issues. He made some grave errors in some of his books. For more information, click on the following link:
