Dear All,
We are not vilifying Mawdudi personally. But as he impacted the world and his followers are still doing the same we must analyze his views. A deep look into Munir Commission report and his books/speeches reveal his numerous contradictions of the Quran, logic, justice, commonsense and even himself. Link of Munir Commission Report is:-http://www.thepersecution.org/dl/report_1953.pdf and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_Disturbances_Court_Of_Inquiry
Attached is Mawdudi's support to captive rape from his own book. His support to slavery from his Tafhimul Quran is in the text bellow. Copy of his death-sentence and the declassified document of the USA government terming him in 1956 (?) as "The most dangerous man on Pakistan" can't be attached due to volume-restriction of internet-posting. Sorry, he was speared death-sentence not due to "International pressure" but pressure for Saudi for reason clear.
If Amin Ahsan Islahi and Prof. Khurshid Ahmed are "scholars" then we need to define what makes a scholar. To us they are not.
I have read Islahi Sb's rebuttal of Munir Commission report and found it full of childish and dangerous deception in the name of Islam. As for example, difference of definition of man cannot be equated with that of Islam. The former is benign but the later is malignant - it resulted in numerous killing of Muslims by Muslims, see here:-
And if we adopt the definition given by any one of the ulama, we remain Muslims according to the view of that alim but kafirs according to the definition of every one else...........If the constituents of each of the definitions given by the ulama are given effect to, and subjected to the rule of 'combination and permutation' and the form of charge in the Inquisition's sentence on Galileo is adopted mutatis mutandis as a model, the grounds on which a person may be indicted for apostasy will be too numerous to count ( MC Report pages 218 & 219).
Islahi Sb was probably used to village-lectures but the world cannot be fooled by such false argument. A quick look into some docs (there are many more) in MUNIR COMMISSION REPORTPage 226:- Mawdudi agrees Muslim's lower position in India:-
Maulana Abul Ala Maudoodi :—
"Q.—If we have this form of Islamic Government in Pakistan, will you permit Hindus to base their Constitution on the basis of their own religion?
A—Certainly. I should have no objection even if the Muslims of India are treated in that form of Government as shudras and malishes and Manu's laws are applied to them, depriving them of all share in the Government and the rights of a citizen."
(Mawdudi later denied uttering the word "Shudras" but in essence agreed to the rest - Hasan)
**************************************************************************
MAWDUDI SUPPORTS SLAVERY:-PAGE 225
"The Islamic law on the point is that if the country of which these prisoners are nationals pays ransom, they will be released. An exchange of prisoners is also permitted. If neither of these alternatives is possible, the prisoners will be converted into slaves for ever. If any such person makes an offer to pay his ransom out of his own earnings, he will be permitted to collect the money necessary for the fidya (ransom).
****************************************************************************
His support to slavery - that includes women as well - see attached scanned copy from his book. TAHFEEMUL QURAN - EXPLANATION OF Sura Muhammad verse 4 :-
http://www.tafheem.net/main.html
"The jurists of Islam have also made three points (a) That if a prisoner accepts Islam, he cannot be killed; (b) that the prisoner can be killed only as long as he is in the government's custody; if he has been allotted to, or given in somebody else's possession by sale, he cannot be killed; and (c) he should be killed in a straightforward way - not tortured to death............instead of killing them or keeping them in captivity for lifetime, they should be handed over to the individual Muslims as slaves.......if they are not exchanged for other prisoners of war, or ransomed, the method enjoined of doing them favour is that they should be made slaves and given in possession to individuals........jurists of Islam have unanimously ruled that the prisoner who becomes a Muslim after being taken captive cannot escape slavery".
Regards.
Hasan Mahmud.

Subject: Re: [banglarnari] Accusations against of Abul ala Maududi, 1954
Dear members,Assalamu alaikum.Farida Majid has made so many allegations in a short paragraph without any proof established in any court.Sayyid Maududi was sentenced by a military court only for writing the book The qadiani problem.This was an academic book still found in translation in most important languages.I have read the book it is just an academic discussion on the problems created by the Qadianis among Muslims.He was released later under internationalpressure as the military judgement was without any proper basis. Any body can read Munir Commission Report and /or its analysis by Amin Ahsan Islahi, the great Alim of Pakistan and translated by another world-class scholar Khurshid Ahmad.Munir sb said that Ulama did not agee on a definition of Muslim.Amin Ahsan islahi replied that Ulama defined Muslim in different words and sentences meaning the same thing.as the question was sent to them seperately.Islahi sb said the same thing will happen if modern scholars are asked to define man seperately.This does not mean that people do not understand what is man or Muslim.Munir Commission report contains such frivolous things which has been properly rebutted by islahi sb.Shah Abdul hannan----- Original Message -----From: Farida MajidSent: Friday, May 30, 2008 1:47 PMSubject: [banglarnari] Sentencing of Abul ala Maududi, 1954Can someone find the Munir-Kayani Report from Pakistani archives and help distribute it as widely as possible?
The curse of Moududi is the scourge on our land, on our faith and our lives. Please do all you can to battle against this curse and restore sanity and humanity to our people.
Farida Majid
[Below is a note from a cyber-friend in an Indian forum where I had described the plight of Bangladesh in the hands of Jamaat. He echoes my sentiments]
===================== ========= ========= =====
It should be pointed out that Maududi's imprisonment and death sentence
was for his role in instigation sectarion riots in Pakistan.
The disturbances were of such magnitude that martial law had to be
imposed.
Maududi contributed greatly to rise of intolerance in Pakistan (and the
rest of the subcontinent as well).
The disturbanced were investigated by a panel of judges 'Punjab
Disturbances Court Of Inquiry', which after a detailed investigation
submitted a 384-page report in 1954. It is sometimes called the
Munir-Kayani report, after the two distinguished Justices who headed the
investigation. I will share some of the sections of the report. It is
a very important document for students of modern history, not just of
Pakistan but of the subcontinent as well.
Maududi cannot be considered to be a hero in a society that values
tolerance.
I cannot understand why the Bihar Anjuman, or any other Indian groups
would regard him as a hero.
