[quote][b]Maulana Maudoodi write in his pubilaction of Tafheem-ul-Quran Page 412 as under:
The truth is that this question causes another question, which is even more fundamental and important than this and that is [hl]whether Hazrat Yousaf was a prophet or not.[/hl] If he was a prophet then do we find such a concept about a prophet that he may offer his services to promote a system based on infidelity who himself claims to be a muslim. [hl]this question leads to another question, which is even more delicate and critical that whether Hazrat Yousaf was a righteous man or not?[/hl] If he was a righteous person then is it righteousness that on one side while he was behind te bar he started his prophetic mission and informed the egyptians that is that one Allah who is dominent on everything is not better then so many self-made gods? and that the king of the egypt is also one of such self-made gods, and openly clarify his mission that it is only one Allah who can ordain the rule the world over. [hl]but at the time of trial he himself becomes the most obedient servant of the Government and rather guard of the Government, which was ruling under the godliness of the king of egypt the root base of which is all the domination of the king & not Allah.[/hl]

I cheked the original source(Tafhim-ul-Quran Vol:2 Tafsir Surah Yusuf,Foot note 47) and I was shocked to find that how some people stoop to mean tricks to malign scholars not belonging to their "group".I think no Muslim,with an iota of Fear of Allah,can stoop to such gross misinterpretation of a person,let alone of a scholar of Mawdudi,s stature.
In his rebuttal of the view that Yusuf(a.s)coveted the post of the guardian of exchequer of egypt,Mawdudi sahib asks whether we can expect such greed from a rigteous person,let alone a prophet! Now what is derogatory in such a statement???
I doubt whether the persons who have inferred "blashemy" in the refered words of Mududi sahib,can read a good Urdu prose,  which is a characteristic of  Maududi sahib,s books.[/quote]
