Munawar Hassan

The scholarly world has become fully acquainted with Maulana Maududi, and it is a fact that he is the foremost Islamic thinker and a high-ranking religious scholar of this era. The flood of atheism and irreligion that came to India from Europe; providence arranged to build a dam against it through such pure and noble hands; someone who is highly aware of and well-versed in the ancient and modern thoughts of Europe. Furthermore, he possesses such deep and clear knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah that he can discuss all contemporary issues satisfactorily in its light. This is why even the greatest atheists and secularists have surrendered their arguments before him. It can be clearly stated that the Muslims of India and the Islamic world have many religious expectations attached to Mr. Maududi.
