Benazir’s False Allegations About Maulana Maudoodi
Page Excerpts from Reconciliation
No.
68 & Maulana Maudoodi dubbed the
69 founder of Pakistan, Quid-e-azam
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, a kafi
(“nonbeliever”).
69 Maulana Maudoodi, viewing my
father’s politics as inconsistent with
the extremists’ agenda, also,
declared my father a kafir in
1970,…….
69 When I ran for prime minister in
1988, Maudoodi’s party called me a
kafi, as they had my father before
me.
69 Yet before supporting General Zia,
Maudoodi actually supported
Fatima Jinnah, a woman candidate
for the president of Pakistan in the
1960s. So at the time he didn’t find
any quranic prohibition against
women serving as leaders of
Muslim societies. (His later
antiwoman epiphany against my
right to serve as prime minister was
thus obviously more political than
theoratic.)
Comments
Maulana Maududi never dubbed
Quid-e-Azam a kafir. It is a white
lie.
Maulana Maududi never declaredd
Mr. Bhutto a kafir. It is a white lie.
Maulana Maududi’s party never
called Benazir a kafir. It is a white
lie.
How can Maualana Maududi be
against election of Benazir as prime
minister? Maulan Maududi died in
1979, and Benazir contested the
election of prime minister in 1988.
Some may term this statement as
“jhoot kay paa’on naheen hotay”,
and others may term it paranoia
delusion.
