( ‘A ta ull a h Sh a h Bukh ari, p. 131) Is there any doubt left about this point? Will any maulav i speak up? Maulav i Maud u d i in Haq i qat-e-Jihad and also in his other books has given such teachings about jihad that no sensible Muslim can imagine attributing them to the jihad of the Holy Prophet sa. The one who is the most militant in his ideas regarding jihad is Maulav i Maud u d i. He has passed away, but it is his followers who profess these views. Maulav i Maud u d i writes in part one of his book, S u d , about the India of the Promised Messiah’s as time: India at the time was undoubtedly the ‘land of conflict’. ( S u d, part 1) He is not calling it the ‘land of peace’. At what time was India the ‘land of conflict’? When the British government was trying to erase the Muslim Empire. ( S u d, part 1, p. 24)
