Views

Qaudri criticised and condemned the prevailing sectarian differences among Muslim community. According to him, Muslim religious schools are infested with sectarian elements. They cannot agree even with one who belongs to their own school.

The leadership of the Muslim community is disintegrating and it is rather emerging as a chaos. He believed that madrasas are preservers of Islam and its fundamental tenets in India and he was aggrieved over the madrasas lacking in ability to take initiative, high moral and the will power to excel. Madrasas are victims of pessimism, obscurantism, frustration and inferiority complex. They curse others to hide their fiasco. Accordingly, Qaudri stated:
