باسمك اللهم
Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the political party Jama’ati Islami, said:
مجدّد نبی نہیں ہوتا مگر اپنے مزاج میں مزاج نبوت سے بہت قریب ہوتا
Though a mujaddid is not a Prophet, yet in spirit he comes very close to prophethood. (Tajdid o Ihya-i-Din, p.45; A Short History of the Revivalist Movement in Islam, p.37)
On
this point I totally agree with Maududi, notwithstanding my deep differences with his astray ideology. A Mujaddid is technically
not a Prophet but for all intents and purposes serves the function of
a Prophet for this Umma in the sense that he speaks with a prophetic
voice and is divinely appointed by Allah to renew the teachings of
Islam.
