Dr Leitz has referred to verses 40 and 41 of chapter 22 of the Quran, Al-Hajj. The verses say: *Permission to fight is granted to those against whom war has been made because they have been wronged. Allah indeed has the power to help them. . They are those who have been driven out of their homes because they affirmed that our Lord is Allah. If Allah did not repel the aggression of some by the means of others, then surely cloisters, churches, synagogues and mosques - where His name is honoured - would be destroyed?' 13 Haqiqat-i-Jihad, op. cit. , 65. 14 Masala'-i-Qaumiyat (Pathankot: Maktaba Jamaati Islami, 1947), 105. 15 We seek the protection of Allah from this blasphemous use of language, which only Maulana Maududi could use. 16 W.
