Which Is More Harmful — Mawdudism or Raza-Khanism?

Question

Which fitna is more harmful for the Muslim Umma — Mawdudism or Raza-Khanism (the movement of the followers of Ahmad Raza Khan, i.e. the Barelvis)?

Answer

The nature of the two fitnas is different. When there are two individuals of one kind, balance and comparison between them can be examined; but when the kinds are separate, what comparison and weighing can there be? Each fitna is independent in its own kind.
