غیر مسلموں کی تکفیر:مولانا وحید الدین خانؒ کا اصولی موقف

Abstract

Maulana Wahid-Ud-din Khan was an eminent thinker 
and multifaceted scholar of the 20th century. He has 
touched upon almost every aspect of Islamic theology,
multiculturalism, and social, political and economic 
values. His Scientific and intellectual work is highly 
commendable. In this article, the authors have analysed
Maulana's principal stance on Takfir of Non-Muslims. 
The principle position of traditional Ulma is that if all 
signs of Kufr are found in a person, his Kufr will be 
declared, while Maulana is not convinced for Takfir of 
non-Muslims. He says it is necessary to establish a 
prophetic Dawah which is impossible. He imposes two 
conditions for Takfir of non-Muslims, first to establish a 
prophetic Dawah and secondly to know the intention of 
the addressee. These two conditions cannot be fulfilled 
in today's era, so Takfir is also not permissible.
