My dear Faruqui
I was very sorry to read in the papers of the demise of Maulana Muhammad
Ali. Please accept my deepest sympathy. It is a loss which not only
I but the whole Muslim world will share with you fully. His works will
remain forever and I do not know of any man who has done so much for
the revival of Islam as your brother-in-law, not even during the last
500 years.
