Re: The punishment of apostate
I have gone through some books of Maududi and he got some basis for his conclusions. He is a good writer and he is one of the scholars who is not only liked by Deobandi school of thought, but has a good reputation among Shia community as well. Many people have written books against his famous work ‘khilafat o Mamlokiyat’ a book based on incident of Karbala and its reasons.
The point is all the writers / scholars have their views on a particular issue and there are people who don’t follow them or have differing views. That is not a big deal IMO.
