Allama Sheikh Bashir Al-Ibrahimi

He (Maulana Maududi) possess such a personality that we have rarely seen such accomplished individuals; rather, in terms of certain distinguished characteristics, He is a unique individual whose parallel I do not find among the scholars of this era. For instance: immensely firm in supporting the truth, miles away from defensiveness and apologetics, an absolute embodiment of patience and steadfastness during trials and tribulations in the path of truth, and averse to seeking the favor of contemporary rulers. Among the scholars of Pakistan and India whom I have met or whose knowledge and excellence I am acquainted with indirectly, He possess the deepest understanding of the religion (Tafaqquh fid-Deen) and hold the greatest insight into the historical and legislative realities of Islam. He is an ocean of knowledge. He is highly astute and remarkably intelligent. He an expert in applying Islamic principles to contemporary issues, possess an immense capacity for deduction, and are the pioneer of a distinctly modern method of reasoning in this regard. He is intimately familiar with the temperament of the Shariah and privy to its foundational objectives, avoiding unnecessary entanglement in minutiae. He is meticulous, far-sighted, and an embodiment of conviction, the reflection of which is prominently visible in his actions and character in the form of sheer determination and steadfastness.
