Maududi's first demand (Feb 1948):
The sovereignty of the state of Pakistan vests in God Almighty and that the government of Pakistan shall be only an agent to execute the Sovereign's Will.
First clause of Objectives Resolution (March 1949):
Sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Allah Almighty alone and the authority which He has delegated to the state of Pakistan, through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust.
Mere coincidence ?? I don't think so. Many, including the ex-deputy speaker of Sindh Assembly, had concluded (after researching the topic) that Maulana Maududi was the
actual author of Objectives Resolution. And you are unwilling to accept that the author(s) of The Objectives Resolution were
influenced by Maulana Maududi ??
Still don't believe it ? Here is what Jamat e Islami website has to say:
... It was due to the efforts of Maulana Maududi and his Jamaat that the Objectives Resolution was passed on March 12, 1949..

Shabir Ahmed Usmani and Dr Ishtiaq Hussain Qureshi, quite understandably, were the main proponents of the resolution in the constituent assembly.
However, One may wonder why did a non-practicing Muslim like Liaquat Ali Khan (who had a remarkable ability to consume alcoholic drinks without losing sobriety) support such a resolution ? .. Perhaps for political reasons .... Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the man who declared Islam as the state religion of Pakistan in 1973 and banned alcohol, too was a
sharaabi ... Maybe Mullahs are not the
only hypocrites around
As for the other names you have mentioned, Begum Shaista Ikramullah was one saner voice among them who, in deed, spoiled the party.... She said:
“What exactly have we achieved? I do not think that for a State where the majority of the population is Muslim, it is such a tremendous achievement to have declared that the sovereignty of this universe belongs to God alone… I do not think mere declaration of it is such a great achievement justifies and orgy of praise we have been giving to ourselves.”
What matters is
Maududi opposed Jinnah and Pakistan movement. We are not interested in knowing the
reasons behind his opposition. And we don't have any problem with his
opposition either. But we do have problem with his hypocrisy ... He quickly became the
protector of ideology of the country whose creation he had unsuccessfully opposed, and whose creation was described as "Birth of the Beast" by him ..
Before Leading him to the gallows ?? Maududi was sentenced to death in 1953 (but he was released later), Ayub Khan became the President of Pakistan in 1958 and his book was first published in 1967 ... What are you on about ?
As far as "American Friends" are concerned, let me remind you that it's Maududi and his Jamat who are criticized for
Dollar Jihad ...
He left because he knew there was no hope.
Even Jinnah himself had lost hope. He told Dr. Bash in Aug 1948:
"I wanted to live. Now, However it does not matter whether I live", he had tears in eyes. He died like a helpless refugee in a broken down Ambulance a few weeks later.
