Maududi: Mujaddid is Close to a Prophet in Disposition

 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.
