Qadiyani Problem (Urdu: قادیانی مسئلہ, romanized: Qadiyānī Masaʾla) is a 1953 book written by Pakistani scholar Abul A'la Mawdudi.
[4] In 1953, Maududi and his Jamat e Islami party participated in a campaign against the Ahmadiyya community in Pakistan, joined by traditionalist ulama who wanted Ahmadi Muslims designated as non-Muslims.
[6] Maududi was arrested by the military deployment headed by Lieutenant General Azam Khan and sentenced to death for his part in the agitation.
[7][8] However, the anti-Ahmadi campaign enjoyed much popular support,[9] and strong public pressure ultimately convinced the government to release him after two years of imprisonment.
[7] According to academic Vali Nasr, Maududi's unapologetic and impassive stance after being sentenced, ignoring advice to ask for clemency, had an "immense" effect on his supporters.
