Tableegh is absolutely the right path. It is the path of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.) and Sahabah Ikram (R.A.). To learn this noble work, you'll have to spend some time with jamaat, 3 days, 40 days, 4 months. Allah will give a lot of benefits InshaAllah. It sounds difficult, but to learn the real essence one will have to atleast try it. If you really want to practice Islam and become a good muslim, but seems to be hard as our environment doesn't support us, you should consider going in path of Allah for Tableegh at least once. You will feel the difference. No doubt the guidance, hadayat, and taufiq is from Allah. May Allah give taufiq to all of us. Amin. Moreover, point should be noted that Tablighi Jamaat is not any seperate Jamaat, seperate path, or seperate firqa. Tableeghi Jamaat is named by people themselves, not by the Jamaat. Tableegh is Farz on all of us. Tablighi Jamaat has no registered name, registered office, registered telephone, or anything in its name. It is just a collective effort of responsible, and Ummah-Conscious people to follow the right path. Thanks.

Inviting others to islam is our duty so many muslims have been motivated to get back onto islam through this method. If you see any person acting against Quran and Sunnah while participating in this task it will obviously give the whole method a bad reputation but its unavoidable!! not everyone is perfect in every aspect you will surely find fault in everyone. Alot of propoganda is on the net telling people to abandon this work of islam & that it is organised by kuffar because they agree with its methods. But surely isnt telling people to abandon this work actually what the kuffar want? I wonder what the real motives are behind such calls of condemnation against inviting people to islam. But yes Tableegh is the way forward and alot of people skills are involved in this task. Chill out hot headed people who usually call themselves "salafis" and get involved sorry the guys at the mosque made u feel unwelcome ;)

Dear Brothers in Islam Assalam Alikum Alhamdulillah! BRING QURAN/TRUE AHADITH IN YOUR LIFE!! CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED IN TABLEEGHI JAMAAT ------------------------------------------- Now, It is the time cumpulsary to do Islah among muslims (Tableeghi Jamat) to call others towards islam (Jamat Islami, IRF, Salafi, Ahl-e-Hadith) The work what tabeegh is doing is great, but if it could include ONLY authentic ahadits and ofcourse while thier lecture they should refer atleast a Quranic Ayah, then it could be marvelous. It is very strange that ameer/Chief says "Baday farmatiey hain???!!@... " No brother say some proper reference from Quran and two or three authentic ahadith is good practice, if you have any difficulty contact the most readable book on the earth "The quran" and you will get any translation of language which you belong easily and Sahih Ahadith like "Bukhari". I have asked one of my tableeghi friend who has been going in jamat from years yet he donot know the meaning of Surah Al-Fatiha Ya-Allah help us in learning, why the Holy book came on earth, to just cover-up and place in MIRHAB only!!?? noway, THATS WHY EDUCATED MUSLIMS THEY ARE CALLING TABLEEGHI PEOPLE TO CHANGE THIER SYLLABUS FROM ONLY READING BOOK "FAZA-EL-AMAL" AND TO ADD AUTHENTIC HOLY BOOK THE HOLY QURAN, AND CALL NON-MUSLIMS TOWARD ISLAM AS WE HAVE TOLD IN THE HOLY QURAN "TAL-ILA BAINANA KALIMAT MAY ALLAH ALLOW US TO SPREAD THE REAL SPRIT OF ISLAM.

Assalaam brothers and sisters, hmmmm,looks to me that some people dont realise that Fazaile-Aamal contains quotations from the Qur'anand hadith from Sahih Bukhari and other sources of Ahadith. Anyway, I think that the work Tablighi jammat is doing is great. It has had a great impact on my family members and friends. Living in Britain we sometimes forget our true purpose of life, thus tabligh is the only way we are reminded. It is like a continuous schooling, after madressa we forget our duas, the method to pray Qur'andue to negligence; this pious way ensures that this does not happen. It is also a method to unite with our Muslim brothers and sisters from around the country and also thew world. It is a struggle that has made Islam the fastest growing religion in the world and is the only method to bring back Muslims back to Islam. There is nothing wrong with the work of the tablighi jamaat. there is always alearned scholar with them so this ensures that nothing wrong is taught. May Allah give us all guidance and may we all become strong participators in this work. Ameen

May Allah give hidaya to all those who openly with no references or evidence call this work bidaa', and even shirk and kufr. I am arab, been in neglect all my life and through the simple jowla a jamaat from France did to me in Eqypt, was the means of deen entering not only my family, but my wifes, children, parents and in-laws lives. 4 million people attended the larst world gathering in Bangladesh, over 2.5 million in Pakistan, etc... all over the world. This work is Haq. Tableegis have small mouth, but HUGE numbers. Help of Allah is with them. The critics out there have BIG mouths with relatively small numbers. Attending a few circles a week does not make you a shaykh. Knowledge is a fragile topic which we must consult our practicing ulamaa, not a few people who barely can translate arabic or can read some books! Tabligh is a simple imitation of the work and lifestyle of nabi (SAW). May Allah give us the understanding. Ameen

Ya the work of Tableegh is the only work by which this ummat is praised by Allah in quran That u r the best of ummat, because u preach the good and forbid the false. Prophet P.B.U.H said "La Naabiya Baadi Wala Ummatum Baadakum" Their is no nabi after me and their will be no ummat after u, so the work of prophet is the responsibility of all the people who are following, also should follow his work. This is the only work today in Islam which is the most success ful and the people are getting benifited by it in Huge amount.

Subhanallah. Only Allah knows best. Tabligh is one of the sifat of Anbiya. So that, tabligh and dawah are our responsibility, whether your are scholar, unlearned person workers, boss, students etc.. What so far my understanding is tablighi jemaat does not invite you to join with them or GOING into their jemaat, but invite you to GO OUT from your place/home to do the work of tabligh, the work of dawah, the work of Rasulullah saw. The tablighi jemaat aslo emphasises the important of establishement environmental of dien in OUR LOCALITY and OUTSIDE LOCALITY. It does not mean, when we go out in the path of Allah, we forget our own locality. THey go out far to overseas, interstate etc..is actually to learn and to create the environmental of dien in their locality after they came back from khuruj. For your information, the tablighi jemaat also emphasises the important to conduct ta'limin his locality and his house!! (it means they have fikr that to establish the madrasah inside their house).We can look now, how many moslem houses in our city, have established the environment of dien????..tv, radio, dvd, vcd). My dear brothers, the work of dawah is for the whole live. the number: 3days, 40days etc just for practising like you go to school. Why you spent 3 or 4 years for doing undergraduate course??? DO you ready for spending your life for spreading dien the whole live NOW????.. you better doing step by step...3 days first...Even one day - one nigh in the path of Allah is better than the world and its content. NOw, the time for rectifying ourself. Do not see others fault. Look at our faults. and then make effort to rectify. Who knows???? the one you say is bad, but in the eyes of Allah ta'alais better. Do not be arogance if you "know" about the Quran and Sunnah. Just be quite, do action, not talk only. If you are a scholar and knows about many hadits and the tafsir of Quran and Hadits, try to spend sometimes with tablighi jemaat. They are many problem with the moslem ummah...Do sacrifice.. sacrifice..May Allah ta'ala accept our sacrifice...

Assalaamualaykum Warahmatuallahi Wabarakatuh. Prais be to Allah swt. We must seek knowlege, and teach the knowlege. What is the real knowlege? It is the statements that allow a human to know about Allah. The best words are the words of Allah (through the Quran), followed by the words of prophet Muhammed (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), which are the explanations of Allah's words, followed by the explanations of Allah's words through others. We must learn and teach these so that we could understand more about Allah. Whatever Ayahs we know, and whatever hadiths we know, we can relate those to other people. We must convey this knowlege that we know about Allah to others. Whenever one bit of knowlege is transferred to another person, Allah also increases the knowlege of the person that transferred it. That is the real learning. All the knowlege a person has is from Allah. Allah also gives much rewards in the akhira for the transfer of this knowlege. And the servants of (God) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!" 025.063 The servant of Allah, The Most Kind and The Most Merciful are the ones that walk on the earth with humbleness. When people say ignorant statements to them, they respond with peace. We must use wisdom when talking to our brothers. Wisdom means avoiding arguments and fights and fulfilling the main purpose, which is to increase our knowlege of Allah, and earn rewards in the hereafter. We must honor and respect them and treat them with kindness. The other thing to do is avoid an idle mind. As the saying goes in English, "An idle mind is the devils workshop.". In the spare time that we have, it is good to spend it doing something good, like rememberance (dhikr), reading the Quran, praying etc. Man is in loss, except those that believe and do good deeds, and convey the truth, and convey the patience.

So Alhamdulillah! I see people calling Tablighi Jammat a bunch of deobandi, sufi etc. and even bad mouthing its founder Maulana Illyas (ra) calling him a grave worshipper. Nothing could be any farther from the truth. Tablighi Jammat stays million miles away from Sufism and opposes polytheistic practice in all forms. Tablighis, generally in the Indian subcontinent, has inclination toward deobandi school but deobandism, despite its ultra-orthodox line, is in comformity with the mainstream Islamic schools. True that most of the Tablighi people are not well versed in Quran or Hadith but that makes no difference at the end. They are asking Muslims to pray, fast and be observant Muslims. You don't need to be a scholar to advise a fellow Muslim to be mindful of his obligation toward his creator. I would recommend that one should be fearful of Allah(swt) before he bad mouths a fellow Muslim without a legitimate reason, particularly when the Muslim is deceased and is not capable of defending himself. Mashallah, Tablighi Jamaat is doing a great work. I myself have few problems with their attitudes in certain aspects but their positive aspects are so numerous that nothing will match that.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Assalam Alikum, I would like to mention one of the hadiths of the prophit Muhammad (s.a.w): "Bal-lighu An-ni Wa Laow Aaya" means "If you know one verse of the Quran, go and spread (Teach) it." So being the Umma of the last prophit Muhammad (s.a.w), the work of dawa' is the responsibility of each men and women Muslim, whether he is rich, poor, young, old or whatever condition he is, he is supposed to strive in the path of Allah. Those brothers who are ignorant of this nobel work and say they are mushrik or spreading the kufr, so I am requesting them to please show me a single hadith in Faza-il-Aamal which teaches that. The purpose of using Faza-il-Aamal is just to unite the whole Umma. It is the combination of faza-il of Aemaaals. It doesn't contain any Masa'il why because if there is one Masala (ruling) about one Amal and the group contains people from different school of thoughts, so it is fearful that they might indulge in arguing with each other or fight with each other. Alhamdullelah we are reading this Faza-il-Aamal in Canada where there are people from all the four school of thoughts and it creates the awareness of seeking the Islamic Knowledge as well as practicing the whole Islam and every one faces difficulty in the ruling they go and see the Mufti from their own school of thoughts. So it is therefore requested to those brothers who don't know much about the work of Dawa and make these false argues, to spent at least a day with the Jamaat and see what they are saying about. Also, it is worth mentioning that the Jamaat is working all over the world and their intention is sincere even a country like Israel have the brother from the Jamaat and Alahamdulellah the word of Islam is reviving in that part of the world too. And Allah knows the best. wassalam.

Salaams to all This work of spreading Allah's deen is extremely essential - especially in this day and age. Every order of Allah swt is being broken. Many Muslims are openly disobeying Allah swt. Indeed, some muftis have said that the work of enjoining the good and forbidding evil - the effort of all Nubuwat from Adam a.s to Ibrahim a.s. to Isa a.s. to Muhammad s.a.w. - is now a Fardh Ain rather a fardhu Kifayah. On a personal level, joining the Tableeghi movement has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience for me. I thank Allah s.w.t. for leading me towards this path. I was hurtling headlong into Jahannam before this. Now, Alhamdulillah, there is change in my life for the better. I am a lot more conscious of deen. I feel that the criticisms against the Jemaah Tabligh is unwarranted. Indeed, a lot of it is fitnah, eg, the Jemaah Tabligh are grave-worshippers. The fact remains that those who criticize cannot offer a credible alternative. Also, the effort involves sacrifice and a sincere heart. It is a lot easier to simply condemn then to sacrifice their time doing the effort of nubuwat.

What was the opinions of sahaba and tabi-een and the later salafus saliheen.what is meant by tabligh,How to do tabligh, how did Rasoolullah (s) and Sahaba Kiram did this? What was the position of 4 caliphs about this when they were the rulers of vast islamic lands? What was the position held by imams? (like Imam malik, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafaie and others). Please read Holy Qur'an and the planning for our life is there and it was implemented by our Noble Prophet (s).Can we pls. see what is there in the Qur'an and our authentic hadith books, seerah, history of Islam etc so that we are not made scape goats by some "innocent looking" muslim groups and their patron alims....c u later, salam.

Peaople throuhg ignorance start pointing the finger at people due to one or two Individuals who are new in the effort and may Utter something wrong now and then..those who oppose the effort then what do they suggest we do to revive the ways of Nabi saw into this Ummah? like the Muslims today..look how far we are from Deen..does this mean Islam is incorrect now? NO the ppl are wrong but Islam is still the truth..one who looks at the principles and guidelines of this Effort will realise it is all from the Ways of Nabi saw and from light of Quran..Over the weekend i was in The MArkaz and Fikr was being made for all over the world./.brothers were sent to Brazil yes Brazil surinam Guiana venezuela..is this wrong? going to see ur brothers for the sake of Allah alone? those who oppose this effort is due to ignorane and not genuine arguments.

MasyaAllah this work is pure. It is the sunnah of Rasul SAW, His work & the sahabah ra. Alhamdullilah I have benefitted so much from this tabligh work. Through mujahadah when you are in the in the path of ALLAH SWT then only can you increase in your Iman. Alhamdullilah, I felt I am a much better person than before, after I do this work of Deen. "Tabligh" means reminder so we are doing this work to remind our brothers & sisters (who has gone astray) to go back to the right path of true success in dunya wa akhirah, insyaAllah. This work stress on Iman & Aamal. By reading the virtues of aamal, insyaAllah it will bring out the enthusiasm for us to improve & increase in our aamal. SubhanaAllah by following the 6 points of the sahabah & 6 points of ladies duties as a guide line in our daily life helps to improve our akhlak. The main objective of this work that I learnt is that how we can make all the masjid in this world to have the aamal of Masjid Nabawi during His time i.e to have da'wa, ta'lim wa ta'lum, ibadah & khidmat 24 hrs. The ladies work is how every household have the environment of Deen in having ta'lim wa ta'lum in istiqamah. InsyaAllah if we achieved this then ALLAH SWT will make easier for us to practice Deen completely. Whatever we do is for the pleasure of ALLAH. The truth is from ALLAH SWT & the weakness is due to my own fault & weakness. May Allah forgive us all. JazaakAllahu Khairan.

Fellow musilm brothers and sisters are forgetting the real reasons for us being in existence. We are here to worship Allah Subaha-Watala. The work of the Tabligh is to bring the truth back into our westernised life�s, and also to remind to our brothers and sisters the importance of the way we spend our life�s. I am a Project Manager working for an Internationally organisation, have a normal life and do some Tabligh work. Talking about Islam has greatly helped me bring into practice Namaz. Without knowing the truth how does one bring it in to their life's?

May Allah guide and protect us all (Ameen) Wassalam.

The Prophet (PBUH) did not spend his life calling ppl to that TJs are upon.

So before we all get carried away trying to overthrow the kuffar, establish shariah law, understand that the 4 farz'sof wudu are etc. how about educate yourselves and your families about tawheed. How about call ppl to tawheed and tell them what will effect thweir tawheed (Shirk, bid'ah and how to recognise this in our families and lives and remove this filth that will keep us away from jannah, that will cause harm to our iman. The Prophet (PBUH) said' follow the Qur'anand my Sunnah' he didn't say follow this imam, this madhab etc. he said QUR'ANand SUNNAH. TJs are blind followers of IMAM ABU HANNIFA may Allah be pleased with his efforts and grant him Jannah. You follow this man and yet you do not take to heart his warnings and think that following him and not looking outside the box is all you need to do. May Allah guide us all and make us one! Shariah law will not make us one, different so called efforts do not make us one, TAWHEED makes us one and this is what will unit us and spread the true islam.......

Just thought I should add to the comments made above: The truthful call is the one that clings to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf us-Saalih(the Righteous Predecessors)and ALL the other calls cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the UNDERSTANDING of the one who initiated and founded it. The Jahmiyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of Ja'd bin Dirham and Jahm bin Safwaan. The Ash'ariyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of their scholars who attribute themselves to Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ariyy, the Tableegh cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of its founder, Muhammad Ilyaas and the Ikhwaaniyyah with all its types and offshoots and amongst them are the Qutubiyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of its founder(s) Hassan al-Bannaa, Saeed Qutub, Hudaibee and others. Prayers and peace be upon his family and companions to whom the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: "I advise you to fear Allaah (have taqwaa of Him) and to listen and obey (to the leader) even if it is a black abyssinian slave. He amongst you lives for long will see many controversies/differences. Therefore, you MUST stick to my sunnah AND the sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. Stick to it (the sunnah) with your molar teeth and beware of the newly-invented matters as every newly-invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance", and who also said: "And my ummah will split into 73 groups all of them in the HELLFIRE except for one", then it was said: 'And what is this ONE group? He said: "It is that which I am upon this day and my companions." : SOMETHING FOR ALL YOU SEEKERS OF (CORRECT, TRUE) KNOWLEDGE TO THINK ABOUT. If Allah has blackened your hearts due to a disease which you have within yourselves then you will be unable to see the truth even though it is sitting on your shelves at home (Qur'an and Hadith) again not the fazail amaal. I have myself read it and for one who is looking beyond the heart melting poetry it is clear. Also can I quickly mention on thing those who say TJs are not grave worshippers (and most small timers are not they are just followers of their local mosque)have you ever been to head office?????? If you had then you would have seen the graves INSIDE the MASJID being worshipped!!!!!!! SHIRK at head office who would have thought?

Some points being made above hardly hold base. You people are saying if this wasn't correct, the truth(haqq) would Allah let the work be carried forward etc. I know Islam is the true religion so why is it that muslims are being outsmarted, outnumbered, terrorised etc. Why is their shirk, bidaat, corruption, pain, conflict upon this earth? Why are there so many deviated groups calling muslims other to the Quran and Sunnah? Answer because it is a test from Allah and because the messenger peace be upon him has said that there will be differing and groups etc. so just because your work is all over the world does not mean your METHODS are correct also it is truw that the Prophet AND his companions gave dawaah but it was dawaah to the oneness of Allah which is the base of our faith and one has to be correct in this first please, please look at the wider picture, do not be blind followers and followers of the desires of the heart, we all want brotherly love and a strong ummah but you will never achieve this unless we are all upon the same thing and what will lead us there? our tawheed. At the moment you see all these groups just sticking to their groups and being protective but you should be protective as a ummah not as individual groups and follow the Quran and sunnah. " And if you differ with regard to any of the affairs of your religion, then refer it back to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of his messenger, if you are truly Believers in Allaah and the Last Day, that is what is good and better in its final outcome (Surah an-Nisaa'(4):59)A building is strong and firm but if you start taking away pieces from it or not having laid its foundation (tawheed) correctly to start with then the building will crumble. I see HT brothers and sisters calling to establish a shariah law? what is this? If people do not understand Allah then how will they accept his law? The effort eveyone should be making is calling to the truth, calling to Islam the Prophet Muhammed was a Prophet for 23 years before passing away and out of that 23 yrs he spent 13 years calling People to the oneness of Allah it was only after this period that he went above the heavens and was given the order of establishing the 5 prayers and it was only after making hijrah that the other pillars were ordered upon the ummah. Correct your foundation brothers and sisters then you will hear and obey what has been sent to you without question. Then will be removed from your hearts hypocrisy, doubt, mistrust etc. I know that Islam will be the ruler of this duniya one day how? because Allah has said that this will happen (arrival of Mahdi AS and Essa AS)so put your trust in Allah and if you must follow something or someone then follow the Quran, the sunnah of Prophet Muhammed SAW and follow his companions. Everything you take don't take it blindly from others look, understand see the proof, study understand hadiths and their authenticity, weakness etc. This is for your hereafter should you not strive for the truth. Look at how much effort a brother of sister makes finding the perfect job, finding the perfect outfit, car, house etc. you spend months and months looking for the best deal should you not look and make this much and even more effort looking for the HAQQ of Islam. And no the HAqq isn't based in the Imams you follow and I do not recommend the website ask imam as one of the bothers suggested above. It is associated with the Hannifi madhab only and although a lot of it is correct it restricts its answers to that particular madhab. This is incorrect we should not be following madhabs and imams. Please provide me with AUTHENTIC proof if you think differently. (not from scholars associated with ONLY your madhab please). Also fazila'amaal does have authentic hadiths in it BUT it also has VERY WEAK ones that can not be linked with the narrator. Therefore it is incorrect to use. This is because you are using these as the sayings of the Prophet without clear proof and the Prophet has warned against whose who associate something with him without proof. They will have their seats in the hellfire. When you have a bowl of grapes and several are rich looking and glowing but others are old and rotten it puts a person off the full content itself. You have authentic hadiths out there so why not just use that which is 100% or even 80% instead of using that which is 10% correct? OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEARTS. May Allaah taa'la remove perversions from our hearts and enable us to see the truth... Insha'Allaah.

And those who say call towards Tawheed..what else are the brothers encouraged to invite towards? That Allah is One and has no partners in his divinity and that Creation cannot do NOTHING withought will of Allah! Its True what the elders say..the reason why Majority of ppl are against the effort is because this effort is 110% against ones Nafs...no one wants to get up in the dead of night and cry for the Ummah..no one wants to knock on doors to invite to the mosk..yet come January sale well knock on half the streets doors informing them of sales..no one wants to adopt the sunnah and walk the streets and get abuse..yet we make a big hoo haa bout getting Quran and Sunnah in our lifes..one lad who made same points to me as above..that it aint from Quran and sunnah and only they on Haqq..i looked at him and said so wheres ur beard? why wear clothes that imitate the kuffar? he said show me hadith where it says i have to wear sunnah clothes? ???? whats this all about then??? and as for Fadail e amaal..weak hadith? define weak hadith? when Ulema such as Mufti Taqi Usmani has said these hadith for virtues are Ok and when weak Hadith backed by many hadith of the same virtue then carry a lot of weight with them..end of day those who oppose only oppose out of ignorance. may Allah grant us All istikamat and guidance Ameen

I would like to ask all those critics, to tell me, How will a person take Quran and Hadith and follow it when he does not pray, does not know the Kalima, does not know his Prophet's name, does not follow sunnah.... There should be some one to first bring muslims to know Allah, to obey him by doing Salah and follow the ways of prophet, in every second of his everday life.

If you are seeking the truth to know the real and only right way of DAAWA then wake up in the �Last Third of the Night� when all the people are sleep! Take your wudu (ablutions) and praise and glorify Allah! Let your tear be the proof of your SIDK to Allah! And then ask Allah to show and guide you to the true way DAAWA, the way of paradise, the way of our beloved prophet Muhammad Salla Allah Alayhi wa Salam and the way of his companions (Allah will be Pleased with theme). In My mosque they are many of our friends from Tablight among many others, and till today I am the only, and only one praying Salat El Fadjr (Morning prayer) with the Imam of the Mosque. So from where should we START! Don't take any postion and Ask Allah he is just near by you! Closest than you may think! May Allah forgive our sin and guide us to his way!

Dear Brothers, If we don't follow any of the four imams, then, Salafi itself will become a new madhab. How come this new madhab can be superior to the 4 early scholars who are from the Ahlus-sunnah Wal Jamaah ? If you go to some other mosque, they'll be graveyard as well like masjid nabi....and other tabieen and other prophets all around the world, where their grave is in the vicinity of the mosque (simply because they make effort and live and die there)..... but that doesn'tmean that we worshipped them. Ask yourself, if you die... would you like to be in the vicinity of masjid or would u like to be near a football ground or a pub ? I am a Tablighi but has been a while "out of action" because busy working as House Surgeon. Please make doa for me, My 40 days has been long overdue.... may Allah forgive me. Wassalam.

Just a quick question... Having worked alongside/spoken to Tabligh brothers in the past they have emphasised the importance of Salaah and seem to go on about this more then tawheed. Now let me ask you this you all (Tabligh)who go out there and ask people to come out of their homes go to the mosque and pray salaah and do taleem with your book of shirk and yes there is shirk in your FA book just open your eyes and see. Anyway soon after that you ask brothers to give beyaans on the 6 points covering only one aspect of the shahada and IGNORING the other two then you send them out to give dawah tabligh to others and ask them to come to the mosque and pray and speread the so called BROTHERHOOD OF TABLIGH and yet the so called educated imams, bothers etc. do not educate the jahil ones about what effects their salaah you do not talk to them about shirk and bid'ah, Subhanallah of course salaah is important but by educating these people on Tawheed first and foremost then these people will consider salaah more then just an act but understand that each and everyone of their words, action etc. in salaah mean!!!!!! These people may be coming to the mosque and praying salaah and yet go home to worship the dead one, call upon a pirs to find out who did 'black magic' to them, their wives, their mums etc. walk around with amulets around their necks, their homes believing that if they remove these things then some harm will come to them and their loved ones! Do these poeple realise THIS IS SHIRK do you educate these people about this? do you tell them to remove these rubbish from their homes, their bodies etc. answer NO because you feel the important thing is brotherhood and yet you chose the hell fire for your brother. And another point from DR Mustaffa about salafi's Who are they what do they do? from what I know they do NOT FOLLOW ONE MADHAB they take what is most AUTHENTIC from all the imams, scholars etc. they take hadith which has the strongest link back to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH AND the Sahaba. Just because one calls himelf a salafi does not make him a salafi and it isn't a title it is who you follow. You hannifi's TJs your all blind followers of you heart's desires and your imams. You claim to follow Imam Hannifi and yet you do not take all from him only what YOUR HEART DESIRES or whatever YOU THINK IS SUFFICIENT "When a hadith contrary to the madhab is found to be Saheeh, one should act on the hadith and make that his madhab, Acting on the hadith will NOT invalidate the follower's being a hannifi, for it is AUTHENTICALLY reported that ABU HANNIFAH said, When a hadith is found to be saheeh, then it is my madhab. And this has been related by Imaam ibn'Abdul Barr from Abu Hannifah and from other imams. He has also said ' When I say something and it is later found to be contradicting the Book of Allah the Exalted or what is narrated from the Messenger (sallallahu'alaihi wa sallam), then IGNORE my saying'(source Al'Fulaani in Eeqaaz al-Himam page 50 tracing it to Imam Muhammad. You go out on tabligh and ask everyone to unite against the KUFFAR and yet you stand in pray alongside those who associate partners with Allah declaring themselves as muslims and yet you turn a blind eye! Please, please someone submit to me authentic proof from other then your scholars and which can be traced back to the Prophet saying that you should follow one man other then the Prophet and the pious Salaf!

Characteristics etc. of Tabligh Jammah 1. Lack of concern with Aqeedah. Perhaps a man amongst them will accompany them for forty years and you will find him remaining on his innovated aqeedah, or aqeedah consisting of Shirk. And this is in opposition to the Sunnah since the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) ordered Muaadh ibn Jabal when he sent him to the Yemen that he should begin by calling the people to the testimony that there is none worthy of worship (in truth) except Allaah alone and that Muhammad is His Messenger [the hadeeth is in Bukhaaree and Muslim]. Therefore, the da'wah to Tawheed comes before every single thing and the one who submits himself to Tawheed is prepared and ready to renounce/abandon everything that is in opposition to the Sharee'ah is this not true? Do any of you dare to respond and argue this truth that Tawheed is before everything. 2. Lack of concern with Knowledge. You will see one of them having spent twenty years (on khurooj etc...) yet he still remains in his ignorance and in abandonment of knowledge and goodness. Bukhaaree and Muslim have reported in their Saheehs that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: "To whomsoever Allaah intends goodness He gives him understanding of the Deen". The caller to Allaah is the most deserving of people to have zeal and enthusiasm for the beneficial knowledge so that he can call people upon Baseerah (clear evidence, sure knowledge, with insight). Allaah said: Say: This is my way, I call upon Allaah upon Baseerah (clear evidence, sure knowledge), I and whoever follows me and free is Allaah from all imperfections and I am not of those who associate partners with Allaah. [Yoosuf 12:108] 3. Falling short in Conveying some of the matters and being heedless of a large part of the Sharee'ah. And Allaah the Exalted said: O you who believe enter into Islam into fully (completely)that is take Islaam from all its aspects. Indeed many of the excelled people of knowledge flee from their da'wah for this reason. And we are not making it obligatory upon them to speak about those matters in which they are not capable to do so and we do no permit them to speak in those matters about which they have no knowledge. But we say: Indeed it is obligatory upon the caller to Allaah that he speaks with justice due to His saying: "And when you speak then be just...", and the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) ordered Abu Dharr to speak the truth even if it was bitter! and yet you feel that this is too much to do and will cause a prson to move away from Tabligh. 4. Partisanship to the Madhdhab of Abu Haneefah Partisanship towards the madhhab of Abu Haneefah is found amongst many of you - but the caller to Allaah, in fact every Muslim, it is necessary for him to comply with and to submit to the evidence. does this seem wrong to you? And it is not befitting for a believing man or woman when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any choice (after that) in their affair. And whoever disobeys Allaah and His Messenger then he has strayed clearly [Surah Ahzaab 33:36] So how can such a person call others to follow the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) yet he is the first of those to oppose [the Messenger]? O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? It is greatly detestable to Allaah that you say that which you do not do [Soorah Saff 61:2-3] Do you enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allbh) on the people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves, while you recite the Book? Have you then no sense? [Soorah al-Baqarah 2:44] And Shu'ayb (as) said: I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you. I only desire reform so far as I am able, to the best of my power. [Soorah Hud 11:88] 5*****. Narrating weak and fabricated hadeeth and those hadeeth which have no foundation or basis and saying that it is okay as long as it is encouraging/supportive etc. The Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Beware of narrating much from me for whoever ascribes something to me, then let him say the truth and whoever says upon me that which I did not say, then let him find his seat in the Hellfire." Reported by Ahmad from Abu Qataadah. And whoever says: 'Some of the people of knowledge have allowed the narrating of weak hadeeth which are related to the virtues of the actions' then he did he has not complied with the conditions they have attached to it, and that it is that the hadeeth should not be very weak and that it should have a basis [from other hadeeth] and that acting by it should not become common and widespread. And additionally, it is not permissible to narrate except that which is established... and when he speaks with the weak and forged hadeeth and that which has no basis then it is clear that it is not permissible to act upon it and Allaah knows best.

http://www.fazaileamaal.bravepages.com Question: I have a question regarding the text Fazail E Amaal by Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi (rah). From many I've heard that this text contains many weak ahadith and should not be read for the ahadith all are not Saheeh. Is this correct? If so, please explain if this text would be appropriate to read and are the ahadith with strong chains? Jazakallahu Khayir. Answer: Read Below. In the name of Allah most Gracious Most Merciful. Along with many sahih ahadith, Fazail Amaal is also known to contain a number of weak ahadith. In fact many of the great hadith collections contain weak ahadith. This is the case with Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja, al-Bayhaqi, al-Mustadrak of Imam Hakim, Mishkat al-Masabih, al-Tarqhib wa al-tarhib, etc. Besides these, popular works such as the Ihya 'ulum al-din of Imam Ghazali is one in which Allama 'Iraqi has judged many ahadith to be weak. However, these works have been overwhelmingly accepted by the majority of traditional scholars of Islam throughout the centuries. Furthermore, despite the rigorous authentication of the Sahih of Imam Bukhari, his other works such as al-Adab al-Mufrad and Juz' al-qira'a khalf al-imam contains many weak narrations. What we understand from this is that it is not a crime to relate weak ahadith, as some like to advocate. Individuals have risen in the last century who have attempted to "purify" the books of the pious predecessors by sifting the weak ahadith from the authentic (many a time with great injustice) and have published the classical collection under new titles such as Sahih Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sahih Sunan Ibn Maja, etc. The approach of the classical scholars was not such. It was accepted among them that works on the subject of virtues and Fazail did not have to meet the same levels of authenticity as was needed in discussions on the belief system of Islam or the laws and rulings of the lawful and unlawful. Great hadith experts such as Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ibn al-Mahdi, 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak said, "When we narrate in regards to the lawful [halal] and unlawful [haram]we exercise extreme strictness and when we narrate in regards to virtuous and the like (stories and narratives) then we are more lenient. (See Suyuti's Tadrib al-rawi). We learn from this statement that the scholars were more relaxed in the case of using weak hadith in virtues, but were very strict when it came to aspects of belief or fiqhi rulings. There were also other conditions for accepting weak hadith. For instance, the weakness should not be extreme that it is bordering on fabrication or the hadith should not be a spurious one. Likewise the weak hadith should not contradict an established principle of Shari'a or go against the spirit of the teachings of Islam (See Tadrib al-rawi). If one takes the approach of shunning every book that contains weak ahadith would be left with very few books to benefit from. This would create great difficulty in regard to the din. Imam Tirmidhi has demonstrated in his Sunan as to how so many fiqhi rulings have been based on not-so-strong narrations. The Fazail Amaal is not a book of juristic laws. it is a book of virtues and as such there is no doubt that one can read it and practice on the virtues mentioned therein, even if they are from weak ahadith. Allah has granted this book such a widespread popularity that it is difficult in many countries to find a masjid without a copy. Many have benefited and softened their hearts for the remembrance of Allah and other such virtuous acts by reading it and the Fazail Sadaqat by the same author. The author Shaykh Zakariya Khandelwi (rah) taught the Sahih al-Bukhari for numerous years and spent his entire life in the service of the hadith of the Messenger (upon him be peace). His works include the editing of the Badhl al-Majhud (Arabic commentary of Sunan Abi Dawud), al-Hall al-Mufhim (Arabic commentary of Sahih Muslim), and al-La'ali al-Dirari (Arabic commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari); then the Awjaz al-Masalik is his Arabic commentary of the Muwatta of Imam Malik (Dar al-Fikr, Syria edition over twenty volumes), and the Khasa'il al-Nabawi, his Urdu commentary of the al-Shama'il al-Muhammadiya of Imam Tirmidhi. Besides these he has authored numerous other works in Urdu. He passed away in Madina Munawwara on Monday the 1st of Sha'ban 1402 corresponding to 24th May 1982. Wassalam

I am neither "Tablighi" nor "Salafi". I just want to warn all against bid'a. During the course of our preaching of Islam if we tell something that is not part of the religion, we are going to get the discredit for whatever that person does based on this innovation. It is therefore very important to be scientific and stick to the authentic portion of this great religion. There is so much material still available to us if we disregard all that is doubtful. Ibn Mas'ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah made a straight line on the ground with his hand, then he said, 'This is the straight way of Allah.' Then he made (short) line on each side of the straight line; then he said, 'These (short) lines, each one has a shaitan inviting people to it.' Then he recited the verse: meaning, 'And this is My path straight. So follow it, and do not follow (other) ways, lest they lead you away from My path.'"(6.153) 'Abdullaah ibn Humaid relates from Abu Muttahar, who said: Yazeed ibn al-Muhallab was mentioned to Abu Ja'far al-Baaqir (d.11H), so he said: He was killed at the place where another besides Allah was first worshipped. Then he mentioned Wadd and said: "Wadd was a Muslim man who was loved by his people. When he died, the people began to gather around his grave in the land of Baabil (Babel), lamenting and mourning. So when Iblees (Satan) saw them mourning and lamenting over him, he took the form of a man and came to them, saying : I see that you are mourning and lamenting over him. So why don't you make a picture of him (i.e. a statue) and place it in your places of gatherings so that you maybe reminded of him. So they said: Yes, and they made a picture of him and put in their place of gathering; which reminded them of him. When Iblees saw how they were (excessively) remembering him, he said : "Why doesn't every man amongst you make a similar picture to keep in your own houses, so that you can be (constantly) reminded of him." So they all said "yes". So each household made a picture of him, which they adored and venerated and which constantly reminded them of him. Abu Ja'far said: "Those from the later generation saw what the (pevious generation) had done and considered that........to the extent that they took him as an ilah (diety) to be worshipped besides Allah. He then said :" This was the first idol worshipped other than Allah, and they called this idol Wadd"(Realted by al-Bukhaaree (8/534) It is therefore very important to stay pure in religion because one innocent looking deviation today may become a blatant shirk tomorrow. A half truth is more dangerous than a lie. If there is a book with a mixture of truths and lies and the aqeedah of the author of that book is seriously questionable and on the other hand you have so many other sources of unadultered islamic literature then why do you have to insist on stubbornly clinging on to that book and the Tareeqah described by Maulana Ilyas?

BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (SALALL HO ALAIHI WASALLAM)THERE WERE MANY PROPHETS AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE PURPOSE OF PREACHING.AT THIS POINT IN TIME THIS WORLD IS FULL OF MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS, BUT THERE IS NO PROPHET WHAT IS THE REASON? THE ANSWER IS THE ENTIRE MUSLIM UMMAH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TABLEEGH.OUR HOLY PROPHET IS THE LAST MESSENGER OF ALLAH. IN THE LAST SUMMON OF HOLY PROPHET (SALALLAH HO ALAIHI WASALLAM)HE ASKED TO HIS COMPANIONS "DID I CONVEY THE MESSAGE OF GOD AND THEY REPLIED YOU NOT ONLY GAVE US THE MESSAGE OF GOD BUT ALSO YOU HAVE PERFORMED YOUR DUTY VERY EFFICIENTLY. THEN HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (SALALAH HO ALAIHI WASALLAM) TOLD THEM NOW ITS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THOSE WHO ARE PRESENT HERE TO CONVEY MY MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT HERE." SINCE WE SHOULD TAKE PART IN THE ACTIVITIES OF TABLEEGHI JAMAT,OR AT LEAST THERE MUST BE A SOFT CORNER IN OUR HEARTS FOR THEM. TABLEEGHI JAMAT IS DOING EXCELLENT WORK THEIR CAUSE IS VERY NOBLE,ALTHOUGH THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS BUT THEY ARE SACRIFICING IN THE PATH OF ALLAH FOR THE SAKE OF WHOLE UMMAH.

Dear TRUTH SEEKER, Arif'sstatement was quite true and if you had CARED to read the first point he made, then you wouldnt have made then silly comment you made. The first point he made was that Tabligh jamat teaches you to believe whole heartedly in the Kalima "la ilaha illal lah muhammadar rasullulah" Now Truth Seeker..was does the kalimah mean? it means that there is no one worthy of worship except allah, and prophet Mohammed is his messenger. Furthermore the meaning of the kalimah is that the success in this world and the hereafter lies in obeying Allahs commandments and follwing the ways show by our prophet Mohammed SAW. If anything this should point out to you that Tabligh Jamat teaches you FOLLOW prophet Mohammed SAW ways. This my brother is not BIDAT. BIDAT is when you innovate when you bring in your own ways of doing things.Do you understand? or is this going over your head? Shia muslims do not follow the SIX points Arif mentioned, because they dont even share the same Kalimah as sunni muslims. Truth Seeker, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself, because its quite clear that you have limited knowledge on this matter. Ta.

Brother Naeem, May Allah Guide me and you both...Amen. Please dont take this personal. I will not get any personal benefit by discrediting Tableeghi Tamaat and probably you wont get any personal benefit if I didnt. Who knows this may be start of a new life for us all in terms of true knowledge. I just want to provide us all a braoder view of the whole issue. What you said about Shia's ie "they dont even share the same Kalimah as sunni muslims" ... is a news for me and I am am sure many others on this forum. The W) has hinted upon (also mentioned by "The True Path" in the previous message) It is the aqeeda wich is corrupted without changing a single letter of the Kalima or the entire Quran. I think doing Tableegh is one of the greatest things a Muslim can indulge in. Who could be against the spreading of this beautiful religion which is the only way to success in this world and the next one. Just do it acording to the way of the prophet (SAW) and his rightly guided companions and not the way of Zikriya or Ilyas. Examine the following authentic Hadeeth and re-think your strategy of not just Tableegh but of the entire practice of life. I have seen the good Tableeghi Brothers going around inviting others (they donot show a hint of anger to whoever disagrees with them. My advice to you therefore is to stay calm and try to understand the other point of view)....I'll leave you with the following Hadeeth: The Prophet sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam has informed us of this in the had�th of Hudayfah radiall�hu 'anhu in which he said: "The people used to ask the Messenger of All�h sallall�hu 'alayhi wa sallam about the good, and I used to ask him about the evil out of fear that it would reach me." So I asked the Messenger of All�h: "O Messenger of All�h, we were living in ignorance and evil, then All�h brought this good to us. So will there be any evil after this good?" He replied: "Yes." I then asked: "Will there be any good after this evil?" He replied: "Yes, but it will be tainted." So I asked: "What will be its taint?" He replied: "A people who guide others to other than my way, you will approve of some of their actions and disapprove of others." I further enquired: "Then is there any evil after this good?" He said: "Yes! Callers at the gates of Hell - whoever responds to their call, they will be thrown into the fire." I then said: "O Messenger of All�h! Describe them to us." He said: "They will be from our people and speak our language." I asked: "So what do you order me to do if that reaches me?" He said: "Stick to the Jam�'ah (the united body) of the Muslims and their Im�m (ruler)." I further asked: "What if they have neither Jam�'ah or an Im�m?" He said: "Then keep away from all those sects, even if you have to bite upon the roots of a tree, until death reaches you whilst you are in that state." [Related by al-Bukh�r� (no.7084) and Muslim (no.1847).]

VERSES OF THE HOLY QUR'ANCONCERNING TABLIGH First of all, I want to mention a few verses of the Holy Qur'anconcerning Tabligh. From these verses, the readers can easily see how important Allah considers the preaching of Islam. I have come across as many as sixty verses on this particular subject, and Allah knows how many more verses could be found by another keen observer. I quote here a few of them for the benefit of every true believer. , "And whose words can be better than his, who calls (people) towards Allah, and performs good deeds. and says: 'I am one of those who submit to Allah!'" Certain commentators have written that whoever invites people to Allah through any means deserves the honour mentioned in the above verse. For instance, the prophets call people to Allah by means of miracles, and supernatural actions, the scholars invite them by preaching and arguments, the Muslim warriors (mujahids) call them by means of the sword; and the muazzins call them by means of the azaan. In short, whoever invites people to good deeds deserves this reward, whether he calls them to the formal observances of Islam or to the internal improvements of the spirit, like the mystics who stress the purification of the heart and the realization of Allah's attributes. In the concluding verse quoted above some commentators say such a person should also be proud of the honour bestowed on him by Allah, of being categorised as a Muslim, and he should proclaim this honour in words. Some other commentators interpret that he should not be proud of being a preacher, but should consider himself as an ordinary Muslim. "(O Prophet! SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) preach to them (the Truth), for preaching proves very beneficial for the Believers." The commentators have written that by preaching is meant instructing the believers through the verses of the Holy Qur'an for these would guide them to the Right Path. But such a preaching can be useful for the disbelievers also, for thereby they may become believers. Alas! in this age, preaching is not performed regularly and properly. Generally the object of the preachers is to show off their ability and eloquence to the listeners, whereas the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) has said: "Whoever learns the art of declamation in order to attract the people towards himself, his prayers and observances, whether obligatory or optional, will not be accepted on the Day of Judgment." "And command your family to observe the prayers, and also perform these yourself regularly. We do not ask you for sustenance. We will give you sustenance; and the ultimate success is for the God-fearing." Numerous traditions say that whenever anyone complained of poverty to the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM), he recited this verse, and advised him to perform his prayers regularly, as though pointing to the fact that regularity in prayers will lead to ample provision. It has been stressed in this verse to do a thing yourself before giving instructions to other, because this is a more effective and successful method of preaching. That is why all the prophets themselves first did what they preached to others. Thus they became examples for their followers, who would not then think that the teaching of their religion are so difficult to carry out. Moreover, Allah has promised ample provision for those who perform the prayers regularly, so that they should never feel that prayers can interfere with the earning of their livelihood, whether through trade, service, etc. Thereafter it is stated as a rule, that ultimate success and salvation will be attained by the God-fearing only. "0 son! Perform thy prayers regularly; and command people to do good deeds, and prevent them from forbidden things, and bear patiently whatever befalls you (in the preaching of Truth): undoubtedly this demands courage!" (Surah Luqmaan: 17) In this verse, several important things for a Muslim have been mentioned, which can be a means for our salvation; but we have neglected these very badly. Not to speak of the lack of preaching the truth, we have neglected even the prayers, which is a basic principle of Islam, in fact the most important after faith. There are so many people who do not perform their prayers at all; but even those who do, hardly perform it with all its requisites, such as congregational prayers. It is the poor only who perform the prayers with congregation in the mosque, while the rich feel it below their dignity to be present in the mosque. Ah! my complaint is only to Allah! "0 careless person! What is an insult for you, is a matter of pride for me." "0 Muslims! there must be a group among you who would invite people to Good; and would command them to do good deeds, and would prevent them from forbidden things; and these are the people who will attain salvation.*' (Surah Aaliimraan: 105) In this verse, Allah has clearly commanded the Muslims to prepare a group or party which would preach Islam throughout the world: but we see that the so-called Muslims have totally neglected this commandment. On the other hand, the non-Muslims, are preaching their religion day and night. For instance, parties of Christian missionaries have been specially assigned to propagate their religion in the whole world; similarly other communities are trying their best to preach their own religions. But the question is, is there such an organization among the Muslims? The answer, if not in the negative, cannot be in the affirmative either. If any individual or any party among the so-called Muslims arises for the preaching of Islam, unreasonable objections are raised against them, instead of giving them help and co-operation, whereas it is the duty of every true Muslim to help those who preach Islam, and to remove shortcomings where necessary; but these people neither do anything themselves to preach Islam, nor help those who have devoted their lives to this sacred cause. Thus the result is that even the sincere and unselfish preachers are disappointed, and give up their efforts in this regard. "0 Muslims! you are the best of peoples, who have been selected for the guidance of mankind; you enjoin them to do good deeds, and prevent them from forbidden things; and you have firm faith in Allah." (Surah Aali Imraan: 10) That the Muslims are the best of all nations, has been asserted in certain sayings of the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) also; and there are some verses of the Holy Qur'anthat corroborate this. Even the above-mentioned verse bestows the honour of 'Best Nation' on us, provided we preach Islam, command people to do good and prevent them from evil. The commentators have written that in this verse, the preaching of truth and prevention of evil has been mentioned before faith even, whereas faith (Imaan) is the root of all Islamic beliefs and actions. The reason is that faith has been a common factor among all the nations of the world, but the special thing that has particularly distinguished the Muslims is the mandate enjoining people to do good, and to prevent them from evil. So, this is the real basis for the superiority of the Muslims, whenever they fulfilled it; and since in Islam good actions are of little value without faith, it is therefore specifically mentioned at the end of the verse. In fact, the real object in this verse is to emphasise the importance of enjoining people to do good deeds, and this is the distinguishing feature of the Muslim Ummah. It is not sufficient to enjoin good and to prevent from evil only now and then, but this practice should continue at all times and on all occasions regularly. Reference to the task of preaching the truth are found in earlier religions, but the distinguishing merit of the Muslim Ummah lies in taking it up as a regular assignment. This is not a temporary work, but a permanent one. "In the talk of an assembly of common folk there is no good at all, except those who command people to give charity (to the poor) or instruct them to do good things, or make peace between people (they will be rewarded by Allah). And whoever does this only to please Allah, soon he will receive a great reward from Allah." (Surah Nisaa: 114) In this verse, Allah has promised a great reward for those who preach truth; and how great and honourable can be the reward that has been called 'great' by Allah. In this context, the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) has said, "A man's words may be a burden (sin) for him, except those that he has spoken for giving instructions for good deeds, and preventing others from forbidden things, or for remembering Allah." In another Hadith, the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) has said, "Shall I tell you a virtue better than optional prayer, fasting and charity?" His Companions said, "You must tell us that virtue, 0 Messenger of Allah!" (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM). He said: "To make peace between people, for hate and mutual conflict uproot good deeds, just as a razor removes the hair." There are many more verses of the Holy Qur'anand sayings of the Holy Prophet (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) that instruct us to make peace between people. What we mean to emphasise here is that to make peace between people is also another form of instructing them to do good and preventing them from evil. To introduce peace and cooperation in the society should therefore be given due importance. <http://www.alinaam.org.za/index.html> <http://www.alinaam.org.za/index.html> <fazail.html> <fazail.html>

Assalam Mualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Alhamdulillah dear brother Abdul Wajeed, 1.Recite kalimah - La Illa Ha Il Lallah created - Tawheed to Allah the almighty. 2.Solat - Isyak, Subuh, Luhur, Ashar, Magrib created pillars of Islam. 3.Zikir, Taalim & Taalum - Alhadith & Alquran created - Elm(knowledge) of Truth & Peace. 4.Fikir - Thought of all human being on earth created - strength in Love/Iman toward Allah 5.Rights & Sincerity - to deliver and relay to all walks of life. created - devout a person to real justice 6.Fisabilillah - walk in the name of Allah created - true being of MUKMININ & MUKMINAH Thus created a true man MUHAMAD SAW. Hablum Minallah Wal Hablum Minan Naas. This is what related to the so called Jemaah Tabligh throughout the world, united their stand (LA ILLA HA IL LALLAH), no differences in their preaching,no nafst in their decision, no expulsion in their undertaking,no condemnation in words or in their actions are allowed toward ontowards, other opinions or injustice done by their so called fellow muslim brothers or by others. But my brother, if one has submitted truly in the name of ALLAH, participating in the path that was practiced by every so called Jemaah of Tabligh should not create reason to alert to oneself, or to doubt em at all. Inshaalah, If our beloved prophet Muhamad Rasullullahi Sallallahi Wassalam is still alive today, we all the so called muslim would have not give wrong comments or impression about how a fellow muslim could gain hidayat from ALLAH Subaha Nahu Taala. But, we only have what he (SAW) have left for all of us to practice, that is AMAL HIS SUNNAH through the teaching from Alquran & Alhadith brought by his followers. Can our so called MUSLIM ULLAMA throughout the world be united to rectify this matter without nafst?. Is their any kind of association of UNITED MUSLIM ULLAMA that we can refer to in the time of injustice we have done to ourself? The so called Jemaah Tabligh with careful study and amal soleh done by its founder if not implementor, have finally formed a suitable formula based on Alhadith, Alquran & Hayatus Sahabah, from his years of studies and amal soleh able to unify if not justify that, what has been practiced by the entire past or existing so called Jemaah Tabligh(Karkun). Islam is a universal religion that unite every walks of life not through terrorism, championism, exocistism, weapons, extremism but, HIKMAH. This is what has been said by Rasullullah(SAW). My words of understanding towards the practice of Islam are not subjected to be argued or prejudice upon. Unless, if that particular person has been practicing for at least 5 years consistantly (ISTIQAMAH) then in what this so called Jemaah Tabligh did. As to me this is the most safe human being ever exist on earth. Even the so called sufis can never comment same as long as he himself did not practice same. I invite you too, my brother abdul wajeed to take part in this practice if you have not done so. I have devout in this work for years but, I never become fanatic or extrimist. But, simple as this words " I am at peace from all wrong doings, thoughts, & intentions eversince" that is mention in Alquran nul karim. Inshaalah I believe I have seen worse practices up to the so called true practisioners. Subhanallah may allah give us all and them his hidayat and see the truth and forgive me for my poor judgement. I'll be damned for my unjustfully comments if I have done so. Subahanal hi wabiham dihi, subhanakala huma wabihamdika la illa ha illa anta. WASSALAM.

assalamoalikum wht is the tabligh and wht is the purpose of tablighy jammat is i just tryed to explain it in my article which i wrote 4 my friends read it and than decide y tablighy toil is important than anything else b/c imposible to get the eeman without the way of mohammed s.a.w and his way is only dawaat towards ALLAh read it Everybody is doing toil 4 the success and the opinion about the success is this that if we get duniya<world> we think we get the success and if we lost it than we think unsucsses like if anybody get the degree, job, car, house shop etc think that its a big success and if we not get these things think that its a unsucses full life its a very wrong thinking and faith the reality is this that getting duniya is not a success and losing world is not a unsexes just think what ALLAH is saying bout this world ALLAH said � this whole world is not even like a mosquito wing if its like that than I never give a sip of a water 2 any non Muslim� and more ALLAH saying that �this world is dead and the ppl who running behind this world is like a dog �and more ALLAH said that this world is like a ALANKABOOT <<spiders net>> and also said in quran this world is like a LAHOO WAALAIB <<playing game>> and PROPHET MOHAMMED <S.A.W>was going somewhere with SAHABAS he saw a dead goat he asked to SAHABA that who like to take this goat with himself the SAHABA replied that this is a dead goat useless 4 us PROPHET said that this world is also like this dead goat . My dear friends just think the thing which not like by ALLAH and PROPHET we r thinking success in getting it and nonsuccess in losing it my dear friends it�s a wrong thinking absolutely actual success and nonsuccess is related 2 our bodies actions like if our bodies part do that which is the order of ALLAH than this type of a action give us a success and if we used this against of ALLAH orders than we face non success not only here but also after this life like 4 example if our eyes fulfilled the order of ALLAH at the time when nonmehram comes and eyes not see that nonmehram than this action of our eyes give us the success in both life and if we unfulfilled the order than face nonsuccess in both life same is the case with other body action like if our ear listen that things which ALLAH like than this action give us a success and listening of a wrong thing give us a non success so the success and non success is related to our actions not to things look firoon was the king of Egypt but he faced the non success in both life b/c he broke the ALLAH orders his actions was not good not as ALLAH orders but in other case PROPHET YOUSAF AND SULEMAN <A.S> also the ruler of Egypt but both were success full in both life b/c thay obey the order of ALLAH and there actions were like ALLAH demands so this show that ruling or being a king of any place is not a sign of success and non success but obeying order is a major thing same is the case with other things shops , degrees , business ,trading ,jobs is not a success but the success is to obeying the orders of ALLAH in that field My friends now question is this that how our actions become good which make our both life successful 4 this the power of eeman required and also right belief 4 the building of eeman and a belief the thing which required is the toil in a way of MOHAMMED<S.A.W> so here to see what he did 4 that purpose so when we see his life the major thing which we see is DAWAAT -E-LALLAH the dawaat is the required thing 4 building of eeman and belief but here I want to explain this 1st what dawaat means DAWAAT MEANS INVITING 2WARDS ALLAH CALLING 2WARDS ALLAH BY EXPLAINING THE GREATNESS OF ALLAH like ALLAH IS GREAT ALLAH IS A GREAT CREATER (KHALIK)ALLAH IS A GREAT RULER AND OWNER(MAALIK) ALLAH IS A GREAT FOOD PROVIDER (RAZAQ)ALLAH IS A GREAT SECURITY PROVIDER(HAFEEZ) ALLAH IS A GREAT CONTROLLER OF EVERYTHING ALLAH IS GREAT WATCHER OF EVERYTHING GREAT HEARER OF EVERYTHING GREAT KNOWER OF EVERYTHING ALLAH IS RUB AND ALL THE THINGS R VERY SMALL NOT EVEN LIKE A ATOM VERY VERY VERY SMALL THERE IS NO MEASURMENT OF THERE SMALLITY AND EACH AND EVERY THING EXCEPT ALLAH IS USELESS THAY CAN DO NOTHING ONLY ALLAH CAN DO EVERYTHING WHATEVER HAPPENED ALLAH DID WHAT EVER IT HAPPINING ALLAH DOING AND WHAT EVER WILL B HAPPEN ALLAH WILL DO EVERYTHING NEED ALLAH BUT ALLAH NEED NOTHING this above is some examples of dawaat look here is some virtues of dawaat ALLAH is daee<who give dawaat> ALLAH not offer salat he never give zakat never offer fast or never go 4 hajj ok but ALLAH inviting ppl 2wards himself in QURAN IN NA NI ANAL LAH<I AM ALLAH >AN NA RUB BUL ALAMEEN RAB BUL MAGRABAIN WA RUB BUL MASHARAKAIN <I AM THE RUB OF EAST AND WEST AND WHOLE OF THIS UNIVERSE > this is a kind of a dawaat which ALLAH is giving in quran and also look almost 125,000 PROPHETS deputed on earth and in QURAN not a way of zakat salat and hajj of any PROPHET present but there dawaat is present in quran how thay invite ppl towards ALLAH now look what ALLAH give on dawaat to daee <invitee>PROPHET MOOSA asked ALLAH �� ALLAH what will u give me in reward of dawaat which I gave to ppl ALLAH said MOOSA I will give u the sawab of 1year ebbadaat on a single sentence of a dawaat like if u only said ALLAH HO AKBER in a mean of dawaat than u will get the sawab of 1year ebbadaat�� ALLAH said to PROPHET DAWOOD<DAVID> that �� if anybody get hidayat b/c of your dawaat I will write your name in list of LOOHAY MEHFOOZ and whose name I write in that book I feel shame putting him into hell it�s a promise that I never put him in a hell�� and most important ALLAH said in QURAN (( WA MUN AHSAAN O KO LAM MIM MUN DAA ELALLAH)) ��WHOSE WORDS R MOST BEAUTIFUL THAN THAT WHO INVITING 2WARDS ALLAH�� and very important thing is that it�s a order of ALLAH in quran to explain the greatness of ALLAH in surrat MUDASSIR ((YAH AEE YO HAL MUDASSIR KUM FA UN ZIR WA RUB BA KA FUK KAB BIR )) ��EXPLAIN MY GREATNESS��so my friends it�s a very important thing 4 us and to b a daee is a very big gift of ALLAH by the dawaat we get eeman and belief and after getting eeman and belief our actions become right which give us the success in both life look friends we only obey those 2 whom we think that he is great and we have a love 4 him and also heart feel scare of him like father 4 example if u want to do anything and your father say no not do that than what will u do obviously we stop ourselves 4 doing that even our heart want to do that but here b/c of father�s order we do sacrifice of our heart desire y we did that b/c of his love which we have 4 him and that greatness of him in our heart and in a same case if our younger brother say the same thing than what will we do obviously we do that which we want to do y b/c he is younger than me no greatness of him and no fear of him right now we look ourselves that in our 24 hours how many orders of ALLAH we obeying and how many orders we broke if we not obeying than it means that we don�t have a greatness of ALLAH in our heart no his fear and no love in our heart 4 him in this position if we die than where we go in a successful life after this life or non successful life I mean hell or paradise this is y we saying I mean tabligy jammat that become a daee give dawaat of ALLAH�S greatness to ppl b/c this is the way only by which we get the greatness and love and fear of ALLAH in heart and when we get this in our heart than we starting obeying ALLAH which is the sign of success in both life so its my request to my all friends who reading my this article learn dawaat pls. pls. b/c its more important than any other thing even than food clothes water b/c if we die without these things than ALLAH never ask us about these but if we die without eeman and ALLAH�S greatness than we have 2 give the answer of this b/c to knowing ALLAH as ALLAH is with his ZAAT and all QUALITIES((SIFFAAT)) as ALLAH said in QURAN ��WA MA KHALAK TUL JIN NA WAL IN SA ILL LA LE YA BE DOON� ((I made jinn and human being 4 my eebadaat )) these r a makki ayaats where there is no any order of ebadaat came so here in this ayaat ebadaat means mouarifaat (knowing) ALLAH as MAWLANA SHAHBEER AHMED USMANI said in tafseeray usmani of QURAN so this is the purpose of human being in world so my friends just realize we r not here to earn money only or to providing shelter to family or 2 give food to our children don�t mind a animal also do this what we doing here so what is the difference b/w us and animal a hen , dog , cat also provide shelter to there children and give them food and security if we doing this I think its not a difficult thing and not a purpose of our life so pls. come to purpose and get honor and success .and also the actions sunnat of MOHAMMAD<S.A.W> is the key of success and honor as salat is not acceptable without the way of MOHAMMED<S.A.W> all other things r also not acceptable without his way like marriage , politics ,trading ,job and so on so in all these things we have to adopt his life than its acceptable 4 ALLAH otherwise no acceptance of anything without his way and finally 4 the living in a success full way ALLAH give us the ammaal like SURRAT YASEEN , SURRAT FATEHA , SADKA AND SALAT etc a person who read yaseen in morning all the day ALLAH gives him happiness and fulfill his desire who read fateha ALLAH gives him health from every disease of body and soul a person who give sadka ALLAH give him 10 times of that in this world and 70 times more than that in akkharat like if u give 1rupees as a sadka than ALLAH gives u 10 rupees in this world and 70 in akkharat ok so go-ahead and do this trade with ALLAH hopefully we all become a daee invitee inshAllah ameen remember me in your prays ather zaidi

this thread is too long, and I cant completely read it. for the one who said/think this work of Tabligh is not a correct effort, I simply request you one of this two : 1-before sleep, bath, clean yourself, and offer two rakaat nafil. whether solatul hajat or solatul istikharah. make doa to Allah : Oh Allah, show me the right path. Show me the path of Your Prophet and make me walk in the same path. ask sincerely to Allah, dont mention tabligh. Sincerely ask Allah the RIGHT PATH. If you are sincere, surely Allah will guide you to the right path.Dont worry about it is tabligh or not 2-spend yourself somedays with the jamaat with CORRECT INTENTION and the CORRECT WAY. many people go with wrong intention, and wrong way. so they got nothing. CORRECT INTENTION means we go with intention to rectify ourself, not to rectify others. Even a person spend for one year,if he doesnt have the correct intention, then he gain nothing. CORRECT WAY- means follow the rules and regulation given. Normally given before going out the the decided route. First and foremost, obey the amir. then follow the next 16 rules. 4 should be done excessively.4 should be lessen. 4 should not be done. 4 should be avoided. Even a person spend one year, but not following the correct method, then he gain nothing. Judge tabligh after you do COMPLETELY the above mentioned (1) or (2)items. dont hear what other says about tabligh. Ask Allah, or experinece it by yourself with CORRECT INTENTION and CORRECT WAY. nobody will get a good soup if he cook according to the curry recipe.

Assalamualaikum. Alhemdulillah Wa Salathu Wasalamu Ala Rasoolul Karim Well Brothers and sisters. A true Muslim should measure the purity of each Muslim group with Quran and the Sunna of Prophet Mohammed (M.P.B.U.H). As regards to Thabliqi Jamath, I should say that they have a nice eminence of calling Muslims to some practices such as going Jamath which they are believed to be real sunnah, and they are devoted to spend more time related to Din (religion) comparing Other Islamic groups. It is a truth that their words are often reflecting spirituality when they talk. This is what is some other Muslim groups do not have. Any way, our spiritual strength would not be got by practicing things those are apart from Sunnah. Reason is then that would be Bid�a (innovations), which lead us to hell. So I have to say what are the things that should be removed and taken up by Thabliqi Jamath�s from/in their Agendas or Aqida. 1) Being Muslims, we should give priority for Thouhid (La Ilaha Illallah) when we preach. This includes making people awareness of all stuffs and deeds related to shirk. Making Makbara as a special place to Du�a, wearing some kind of stuffs to get rid some illness; keeping mediators between Allah with an aim of Du�a will be accepted by Allah. 2) They must avoid Hadith and stories which are Da�eef (unauthentic) occupied in their books which they use to read every day. Remember that prophet had warned wrong doers with Hell fire. 3) Refresh people by Quran and Hadith other than pouring some life story of some Shikhs or Hojas etc. Teach members how to read Quran and what is the meaning of basic Du�as. As some of them do not know even to read Quran properly nor meaning of Fathihah etc even though those who have been active with them for years. 4) Taking People to some mosques days like 3- 40 � 4 months are strange for Islam. It seems to be a special system and, so it is sufficient to change the face of Islam which went through in past. (Against Sunna) So do thabliq actvy as prophet had done. There was not a special period and like that. It can be done through out our life other than going and sitting some special places. 5) Thabliqi people saying that this is what is prophet (P.B.U.H) had done, he him self and his sahaba kirams were went Hijra for Allah. I wonder!!! How they can utter this while they never being spread Islam to non-Muslims?? If prophet (PBUH) and sahabas went Hijra it was with the aim of Thouhid for Non-Muslims. So T.J should be aware and give priority on spreading Islam to whom it never got. 6) They being sent Jamaths from Pakistan to Indonesia, Delhi to Dubai, Dubai to Bangladesh etc!!! This is so stupidity as there are still lots and lots of people in those localities who are never get thabliq!! So we should do thabliq in our own places at first. Responsibility of doing Thabliq of each people is firstly to his/her own society itself. 7) Please see Fardl (Mandatory) as how it is, and Sunna (optional) as how it is. 8) Islam is never built only on some Ibadaths like Salath, Dikrs etc. It advises us to involve lots of other activities, which are far from T.J. Serving society, orphans n different kind of ways� We can find all this in the life of our prophet (PBUH ). In the very modern world Muslims should use their high brain level, in Quranic term �Hiqma�. If would n�t do so, counties like US, Uk � people not being converted as we see now. 9) Please do understand members the significance of Hajj other than going jamaths (4 months/40 days whatever) and for sitting in the mosque. 10) I understand that, Brothers who go for jamaath are n�t doing Da�awa at all as they are saying. They spend a very lion share of time inside. So this is just a system of suffis and saints. Escaping from the places to another to raise iman. This is totally against to the Sunna. 11) Please aware that, In islam, we do n�t need to bring up our brothers iman by mentioning some Daeef Hadith or Stories. Saying lies for islam is a big sin too. I hereby wish to remind very seriously to all of Muslim Umma to absorb and work out following verses of holy Quran: - �Tha�amuruna Anil Mouroufi Wa thanhouna Anil Munakar� Advise with goodness and prohibit the badness. �Wal Hasr, Innal Insana�Wathawa soubil Haq� Excluding T.J all other Muslim members are never consider these verses for people who are moving a way from Islamic practices other than doing some stuffs. Thabliqi people carrying out these verses in their life, though the system that they consider is wrong as above discussed. I humbly request to All Muslims including me to add essence of these Ayahs in our life and preaching activities and practice to the each man and woman through out our life as a questionable responsibility hereafter.

Statements of the Deobandis/tablighi-jammat Scholars Now the moment of truth has arrived, bear in mind the Apostasy of the worst kind, what constitutes it and its penalty. Read well and recognise the insults on Almighty Allah and His Beloved Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), at the hands of these Satanic Scholars! And judge for yourself the misdeeds of these misguided scholars. 1. Allah can tell a lie. (Fataawa Rasheediyah Vol 1, page 19) 2. Allah does not know beforehand what His creation would do. Allah comes to know of their doings only after they have done something. (Tafseer Bulghatul Hairaan, page 157/158) 3. Shaitaan and the Angel of death are more knowledgeable than the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). (Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, page 51/52) 4. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was not aware of his ultimate fate and of things beyond a wall. (Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, page 51) 5. The kind of knowledge and the amount of knowledge of the unseen given by Almighty Allah to the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) has also been given to animals, lunatics and children.(Hifzul Imaan, page 7) 6. Even the thought of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) occurring during Salaat is much worse than to be immersed in the thought of an Ox or a donkey. (Siraat-e-Mustaqeem, page 86) 7. The title Rahmatul Lil 'Aalameen(Mercy to all the Worlds) is not an exclusive attribute of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). Other saintly persons also can be called Rahmatul Lil 'Aalameen. (Fataawa Rasheediyah Vol 2, page 12) 8. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) learnt the Urdu language from the ulama of Deoband. (Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, page 26) 9. If Allah so wills He can create millions of the likes of Muhammad (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 16) 10. After his death, Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) has mingled with dust. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 59) 11. The birth of a person of the stature of Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) is a distinct possibility. (Yak Rozi, page 151) 12. All Prophets and Messengers are worthless. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 29) 13. It is not necessary for a Prophet to be free from, and innocent of, every lie. (Tasfiyatul 'Aqaa'id, page 25) 14. A Prophet should be praised only as a human being and even less. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 35) 15. The bigger ones, that is Prophets, and the lesser ones, that is all other creations, all are without knowledge and are ignorant. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 3) 16. The big creations, that is the Prophets, and the lesser creation, that is all other creations, are, in the sight of Allah, more lowly than even a cobbler. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 14) 17. It is permitted to call a Prophet as a Taaghoot (Satan). (Tafseer Bulghatul Hairaan, page 43) 18. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had lost his wits. (Taqwiyatul Imaan, page 55) 19. A Deobandi Mulla saved the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) from falling off Pulsiraat (the bridge over Hell). (Bulghatul Hairaan, page 8) 20. There is no harm in saying 'Laa'llaaha il-lal Laahu Ashraf Ali Rasoolul Laah and Allahumma Salli Ala Saiyidina wa Nabiyyina Ashraf Ali. (Risaalah Al Imdaad, page 35, month of Safar 1366AH) 21. Celebrating Meelaad-un-Nabee is like the Hindus celebrating the birthday of their god Krishna. (Fataawa Meelaad Shareef, page 8; and Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, page 148) 22. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and Dajjal both are blessed with life. The traits which characterise the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) are shared by Dajjal also. (Aabe Hayaat, page 169) 23. It is right to call the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) as your brother. (Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, page 3) 24. Miracles performed by wizards can be more excellent than those of Prophets. (Fataawa Rasheediyah Vol 2, page 35) These insults and derogatory statements against Almighty Allah and His Beloved Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) are by no means exhaustive, but they are enough to make a sincere Muslim's blood boil with anger! Hypocrisy Before we completely expose these evil writers, let's see what they have to say about the stature of their own scholars and spiritual guides. 1." By Allah the Great, drinking the wash-water of Maulana Thanvi's feet brings about redemption in the next life." (Tazkiratur Rasheed, page 113) [While saying that the Prophets should be praised 'even less than human beings', these hypocrites praise the dirty feet of their own mullahs !] 2. "Remember that truth is only what flows from the tongue of Rasheed Ahmad. And I swear to you that I am nothing but guidance in the present times, and redemption depends upon following me." (Tazkiratur Rasheed, Vol 2 page 27) [They have declared that 'Allah can tell lies' and the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) as 'losing his wits', but their mullah is the source of all truth!] 3. "Hold on firmly to the Deen(Religion) established by our elders, Hazrat Gangohi (Rasheed Gangohi) and Hazrat Nanotvi (Qasim Nanotvi). The likes of Rasheed and Qaasim will not be born again, so you should go on following them with devotion." (Suhbat-e-Ba-Aulyia, page 125) [They said there is a 'distinct possibility' of a person of the Holy Prophet's(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) stature being born, however, the likes of their mullahs can never be born again!] 4. It is permitted to think of Ashraf Ali Thanvi during Salaat to be more attentive in Salaat. (Ashraful Uloom, page 16, Ramadhan 1355AH) [Thinking of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) in Salaat is shirk according to them, but thinking of their mullah is commendable !] 5. "Khaleel Ahmad, the ignoble slave of slaves pleads with his Meezab-i-Rahmatil Laahi Ta'a'la Alal Aalameen(the conduit for Allah's mercy on all the worlds!),..Maulana Rasheed Ahmad Sahib Daamal Laahu Zilaala Barkaatahum Alal A'lameen(may Allah for ever keep the shadows of his blessings upon all the worlds." (Tazkiratur Rasheed, Vol 1 page 149) [All Prophets and Messengers are' worthless' in their sight, but their mullah is the saviour for all creation !] 6. "The late Maulana Mozafar Hassan Sahib took ill in Mecca and desired to die in Medina. He enquired from Haji Sahib(his Sheikh), will my death occur in Medina or not? Haji Sahib said, how am I to know? He, Hassan Sahib, said, Haji Sahib leave this excuse and present an answer. Haji Sahib meditated and said your death will occur in Medina." (Qasaul A'Kaabir, page 132) [While they promote the belief, that Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had no knowledge of the unseen, they boost about their Sheikhs knowledge of the unseen!] We can fill a volume with the hypocrisy of these misguided band, but what has been presented here is sufficient for any believing person. The following are the books and authors who have insulted the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) time and time again. Hifzul Imaan by Ashraf Ali Thanvi Fataawa Rasheediyah by Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi Tazkiratur Rasheed by Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi Aabe Hayaat by Muhammed Qassim Nanontvi Tahzeer un Naas by Muhammed Qassim Nanontvi Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah by Khaleel Ahmed Ambethvi Taqwiyatul Imaan by Isma'iel Dehlvi Tasfiyatul 'Aqaa'id by Muhammed Qassim Nanontvi Risaalah Al Imdaad by Ashraf Ali Thanvi Tafseer Bulghatul Hairaan by Husain Ali Wan Bhachrani (Note: All the references in this article are to the Urdu editions of the above books). For those Muslims unfamiliar with these names, let us point out that they are the principal founders of the Wahhabi fitna in the Indian Sub-Continent, more familiarly known as Deobandis. These very Deobandis are also the supporters of the misguided Tablighi Jamaat, which parades itself as the guardian of Islam. Put your hand on your heart and tell us if you consider any of the above scholars or spiritual leader of this Wahhabi\Deobandi\ Tablighi group as men of honour, learning and understanding. Allah declares Himself to be Haqq (The Truth) but the Deobandis consider Him as being capable of lies! (Astaghfirullah). Allah declares Himself as All Knowing, but the Deobandis consider him unknowing! (Astaghfirullah). Allah praises and sends salutations upon the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and orders his creations to do the same, but these foul mouthed Wahhabi\ Deobandi \Tablighi mullahs are too busy praising themselves and demeaning the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)! These people are better known as Ahl-e-Bid'a (People who introduce bad innovations into Islam), because they have introduced falsehood into religion. But they have the audacity to label Sunni Muslims as Ahl-e-Bid'a because Sunni Muslims show honour, respect and love for Allah's beloved servants by holding gatherings in honour of such servants of Allah. Even honouring the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) by gathering to remember his holy birth and life is Bid'a according to these ignoramuses, but holding gatherings to honour their dead mullahs is not Bid'a ! How low can you get? 'Sell By Date' Scholars One big tragedy of our time is that some 'sell by date', so called 'Sunni scholars & Professors', actually offer their Salaat behind the scholars of this evil sect and are proud of it! If that isn't bad enough, they actually advise others to do the same. These scholars have deviated from the Sunni path, what matters to them is their livelihood and their name, they have sold their faith! But we Sunni Muslims must expose such scholars and protect our Sunni brethren from this new fitna. Another tragedy is that every time we expose the evils of these Wahhabi\Deobandi\Tablighi group our so called 'Sunni/ Sufi' brothers attack us for creating discord. It is precisely this sort of mindless reactions from Wahhabi\ Deobandi\Tablighi sympathisers that has lead to Sunni Muslims going into decay all over the World! We ask these Wahhabi\Deobandi\Tablighi sympathisers, when they or their families are insulted in any way, why do they make such a song & dance about it. But when the Pride of creation, the leader of both the Worlds, the Beloved of Allah is insulted, these Wahhabi\ Deobandi\Tablighi sympathisers turn the other cheek. Do they not know that even an atoms worth of insult on the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), of any kind, leads to unbelief according to the Holy Quran and Islamic Shariah. How these Wahhabi\Deobandi\ Tablighi sympathisers can stomach a mountain full of insults upon the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and happily pray behind these evil groups, and yet claim to be 'Sunni/Sufi', is a mystery or is it? The following verses of the Quran should be well noted by those 'sell by date' scholars and professors who are so proud of doing there prayers behind misguided groups. And for what, political and financial benefits? Yes! there are those who will sell their Akida(belief) at the cheapest possible price! "(The followers shall cry to the misleaders:) 'Nay, ye (too) ! No welcome for you! It is ye who have brought this upon us! Now evil is (this) place[Hell] to stay in!' They will say: ' Our Lord! Whoever brought this[Hell] upon us, add to him a double penalty in the fire !' " (Holy Quran - S38 V60-61) The fact that the Wahhabi\Deobandi\Tablighi group is misguided goes without saying. The only question that remains is how we should treat this misguided group. What better example could there be to solve this problem then that of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) himself. In the time of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) a group of such misguided hypocrites built a Mosque and invited the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) to come and pray in it. Allah ordered the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) to raze that Mosque to the ground! But our people run to such Mosques and pray behind hypocrites, thinking they are doing a great service to Allah! We ask these people, where is your sense of dignity, pride and honour? You should be proud to be Sunni Muslims and let it be known, not hide behind feeble excuses. (As a matter of interest the mosque that the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) razed to the ground was never touched by any Sunni authorities again until the Wahhabis came into power and in defiance of Allah's command built the mosque again!) Also beware of those that pretend to call themselves the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, after we proved this was the only true group in Islam, even staunch Wahhabis have started calling themselves Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat. If in doubt, know, that the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat are those that honour the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) by gathering on his auspicious day of birth and respect and venerate the Awliya Allah. The only comment you will get from non-Sunnis is 'Bid'a & Shirk' regarding the birth celebrations of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). When, in fact, these 'square heads' have no understanding of the term 'Bid'a or Shirk'. It is they that are Ahle-Bid'a, since they have only appeared with their brand of Islam in the last century. They deviated from the beliefs and practices of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, who have proved time and time again to these square heads that celebrating the birth of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) is permissable and of great merit! We end by reminding all those who follow the path of Wahhabism, Deobandism, Tablighism or any other misguided group to take heed before it is too late. Ask sincere forgiveness and come back to the truth. And there is only one true path to Islam as the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) predicted, and that path is of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat. Outside this path is nothing but misguidance. We ask all sincere Muslims to denounce and reject such scholars and all their followers. In particular we appeal to those weak Sunni Muslims who have been deceived by these Deobandi devils to wake-up and guard the honour of our beloved Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). It is now the duty of us ordinary Sunni Muslims to safeguard the correct Islamic beliefs of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat by the Grace of Allah, for the sake of His Beloved Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and with the supplications of the Awliya Allah and the knowledge of our good hard working Ulama. Ameen. May Almighty Allah protect our Iman from satanic scholars. if u dont believe this u can buy the so called books which are available in delhi and deoband pages may change as per the edition.e mail me if u want to know more this bidati firkah of akhari zaman.There are hadith quoted by Sayed zaini dahlan makki (R.A)in his book addarus sunniah fi radde allal wahabiah. *Tablighi Jamaat and Wahabis in light of Ahadees*************************** Tableeghi Jamaat and Wahhabis in the Hadith The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has Prophesied that many individuals and religious sects will cause dissension and mischief till the Day of Judgment. He has made a particular reference to the Wahhabi/Tableeghi Movement. Hazrat Abu Huzaifa(Radiallhu Anhu) narrates a Hadith concerning the leaders of the mischief makers: "I swear by Allah that the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has not left out a single leader of Fitna from this day to the day of Qiyamah. Their followers would number 300 or more and further gave their names and that of their tribes."(Abu Dawood) FIRST HADITH Imam Bukhari(Radiallhu Anhu) quotes this Hadith from Abdullah ibn Umar(Radiallhu Anhu) that the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) once prayed for Syria(Shaam) and Yemen. It is narrated that there were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and they requested the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to make du'a for Najd also. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) continued saying: "O! Allah, Shower Blessings on Shaam and Yemen," The people of Najd again requested the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "It is a place of tremor and Fitna(Mischief) and the horn of Shaitaan will rise from there."(Bukhari Shareef) It can be deduced from the above Hadith that Najd is neither blessed nor a good place but one of Fitna and Evil. Najd has been deprived of the prayers of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and therefore Najd has the seal of misery and misfortune and hoping for any good from there is going against the Will of Allah. The Arabic word used in the above Hadith is Qarnush Shaitaan, which normally means the horn of Shaitaan. But the 'Misbahul Lughaat', a dictionary printed in Deoband has the following meaning: "One who follows the advice of Shaitaan." (Misbahul Lughaat, pp/663). Thus we learn that a Najdi/Wahhabi group will emerge, as pointed out by Rasoolullah(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and this group will follow the advice of Shaitaan(Shaitaan refuses to respect Prophets and Saints, remember his refusal to bow to Hazrat Adam(alayhi Salaam) is mentioned in the Quran. It will create havoc in the Muslim world. We are now witnessing the emergence of the Wahhabis who, with the assistance of petrodollars, are sweeping the Muslim world and are bribing them into accepting Wahhabism as the official version of Islam. Wahhabism is a disease but so many are misled into believing that it is curing the Ummah of Shirk, Kufr and Bidah. It is being portrayed as a revivalist movement. This is against the Ahadith. Looking at the geographical position of Najd, it lies to the East of Medina. The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) pointed towards the East and said: "There, that is the direction from where Fitna will emerge." SECOND HADITH Abdullah bin Umar(Radiallhu Anhu) narrates in Muslim Shareef: "The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) once emerged from the room of his wife, Hazrat Ayesha(Radiallahu Anha) and pointing towards Najd exclaimed: 'This is the center of Kufr from where the horn of Shaitaan will rise."'(Muslim Shareef Vol. ii, pp/394) THIRD HADITH Allama Dahlan narrates an authentic Hadith in his book 'Addarus Sunniah', which he has quoted from Sihaah. The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: "There will rise a group of people in the East who will recite the Holy Quran, but alas, the Quran will not go beyond their throat. This group will keep rising till the Day of Judgment and they will eventually rise with Dajjal. Their main symbol will be to sit in groups (Halqa)." ( Bukhari Shareef, Vol.iii) It should be noted from the above Hadith, that, the center of Kufr and Shaitaan is situated to the East of Medina. You will also note that Najd lies to the East of Medina from where a group of so-called Muslims will recite the Holy Quran but it will not penetrate beyond their throat. They will invite the masses towards the Holy Quran and religion. Now, if you examine the situation carefully, you would observe without any fear of contradiction, that reference is made to no other Group besides the notorious Tableeghi Jamaat whose one end is in Delhi and the other is implanted in Najd(Riyadh). CONFIRMATION BY MOLWI MASOOD AALAM NADWI The above Nadwi writes in his well known book "Muhammad Ibne Abdul Wahab" - on the side commentary: "The Southern part of Najd has the famous town of Riyadh, the Capital of his(Wahhabi) headquarters in Dariya. Both these villages are in the valley called Waadi Hanifa(situated in Najd)."(pp/16) Allama Dahlan has quoted the following Ahadith from the Sihaah. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "During the initial part of my Dawah in Mecca, I particularly invited the outside tribes who used to arrive during the Hajj season. From these tribes the most hostile and ugly reaction was from the Banu Hanifa tribe" (The same tribe in which Ibn� Abdul Wahab was born. He founded Wahhabism which is begin followed by the Tableeghi Jamaat)(Addarus Sunniah, pp/52) He quotes a further Hadith, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq(Radiallhu Anhu) reports that the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "From the tribes that live in Waadi Hanifa, Fitna shall emerge till the final era. That valley shall be notorious for its fitna because of the rise of false leaders."(pp/52) Hazrat Imraan, the son of Hazrat Haseen(Radiallhu Anhu) reports that the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) disliked three tribes life long.(1)Banu Saqeef;(2) Banu Hanifa;(3) Banu Umayya. (Tirmizi Shareef) FOURTH HADITH It is reported in Mishkat from Hazrat Abu Said Khudri(Radiallhu Anhu) who narrates that: "Once we were in the presence and company of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He was distributing booties(Spoils of War) when a person named Zul-Khawaisara, who was from the tribe of Bani Tamim addressed the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) "Oh Muhammad Be Just!" ". The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: "A Great pity that you have doubts, if I am unjust then who will be just, you are a loser and a failure." Zul-Khawaisara's attitude infuriated Hazrat Umar(Radiallhu Anhu) and he pleaded with the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to permit him to slay Zul-Khawaisara. The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) remarked: "Leave him, as his slaying will serve no good purpose, as he is not the only individual but there are a host of others like him and if you compare their prayers and fasting to that of yours, you yourself will feel ashamed. These are the people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, with all these apparent virtues they will leave the fold of Deen just like the arrow leaves the bow."(Miskhat Shareef, pp/535) FIFTH HADITH The previous Hadith has also been narrated as follows: "A person with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven came to the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and declared: 'O Muhammad!(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) fear Allah. "' The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: "If I disobey Allah, then who else will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah at all times and never disobedient. Allah has sent me as Amin(Honest for the entire world, but you don't accept me as an honest man?' A Sahabi(Companion) became infuriated and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) prevented the Sahabi from doing so After the person had left, the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "From his progeny will rise a Group who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen just as an arrow leaves the bowstring. They will kill the Muslims but spar the idolaters. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed" (Mishkat Shareef, pp/535) SIXTH HADITH Shareekh Ibn Shihab(Radiallhu Anhu) also narrates a similar incident of a person who displayed disrespect towards the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He states the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said "Nearing Qiyamah there will be a Group of people who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the true Religion of Islam as fast as an arrow leaves the bow. They will be recognized by the shavings of their entire head and they will move in Groups and their last Group will emerge with Dajjal, when you meet them you will discover their nature and character, the worst of its kind." (Mishkat pp/309 - Prints may vary and pages may be different in other publications) The aforementioned Hadith are the words of a Great and Noble Prophet of Allah(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) who is the possessor of Unseen Knowledge, who knows the signs and the secrets of the future. All Praise is due to Allah, that we do not have to search far for this Group, as the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has mentioned the different signs of this notorious Group, so we are able to detect our enemies without difficulty. Another sign mentioned in recognizing this particular Group is that they will be so punctual and devoted to their Salaat, that one will feel ashamed of ones own Salaat compared to theirs. It is obvious that these qualities are prevalent amongst the Tableegh Jamaat. For example, you will agree that there are thousands of individuals, nay, many millions of individuals that are performing Salaat for a period of over 40 to 50 years, an yet, they do not possess a sign on their forehead(sign of Sajda) whereas, very surprisingly, the devotees of the Tableeghi Jamaat get the mark of Sajda on their forehead within a few weeks! The reason for this is very clear, they deliberately press and rub their foreheads on the mussallah to obtain the much coveted mark. This is to display to the Muslims, their so-called piousness. An other sign of this Group is that they will consider all other persons as being inferior to them and even those of high standing-in society are looked down upon by them. The most glaring sign of recognizing these people is their constant attempts in degrading the Prophets and Aulia(Prophets and Saints) of Allah. These signs are prevalent amongst the Tableeghi Jamaat. They look down upon all Sunni Muslims who are, without any doubt, true and devout Muslims. They openly challenge the Ulema and Imams. They engage in discussions and arguments on matter which they themselves do not understand and yet they have the audacity to degrade the status and the Glory of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). In the fifth Hadith it is mentioned that another sign of this notorious Group is that they will shed the blood of fellow Muslims and will have no dispute whatsoever, with the' idolaters. This glaring sign is also present in the present Tableeghi Jamaat. You have often witnessed or heard that in certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had a dispute or in a certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had come with sticks, chains, knives, etc. You have also noticed that when and wherever they fight it is always with the Muslims and not with the Kafirs and Mushriks (Polytheists). You may have also noticed that when or wherever they confront the Kafirs or Mushriks, which is seldom or never, they tug their tails between their legs and run. This is true in India, during Hindu Muslim Riots. In the sixth Hadith it was mentioned that a peculiar sign of this Group will be the shaving of their head completely. This act is now reckoned to be its sign and emblem as such they advise their followers and Mureeds(Disciples) to also shave their heads and therefore you will notice that most of them are bald. A STRANGE FACT The Arabic word Thaleeq(Shaving) as used in the Ahadith must be taken into consideration. The common translation of the word Thaleeq is clean-shaving of the entire head. The Deoband scholars in Misbahul Lughat - page-148 give its meaning as 'to turn around and sit in a circle'. This translation fits like a glove with the Movement of the Tableeghi Jamaat, one translation is regarding them moving around and the other indicating their sitting in circles in Masjids and doing Kitab-reading as a splinter group detached from the other Musallies. They cut across the Imam and display a defying attitude. They never read the Quran. They love the Kitab written by Molvi Zakariya. They will never participate in Khatamul Quran organized in Mosques on certain nights or auspicious nights. If the Imam is delivering Tafseerul Quran, or Darse Hadith or fiqah lessons or even Zikrullah, these people never take part, as if they are super Muslims and everybody else is 3rd grade! These Tableeghis are programmed internationally to behave in this manner. It is not peculiar to any one country. This is the global strategy to destabilize the Muslims The anti-Muslim West has realized that they cannot break the Muslims from outside. They will have to use a group of hypocrites, who will use Western financial resources, and creep into Muslim society, systematically dismantling them and fragmenting them. Remember, all this is done in the name of establishing the Sunnah and "The Mubarak Tareeqa" of our Beloved Rasoolullah(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), as claimed by them! Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri(Radiallhu Anhu) and Hazrat Anas(Radiallhu Anhu) report that the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) stated: "My Ummat is destined to differ and be divided. So a group will arise whose talks will sound very good but their character will be misleading. They will read the Quran but it will not descend below their throats(just oral reading). They will leave Deen just as an arrow pierces and goes right through the prey. They will not return to Islam. They are the worst of creation because of their nature and constitution. They will call the people towards the Quran and Deen whilst in reality they will have nothing to do with Islam. Whoever will confront them, he will be the most beloved servant of Allah. The Sahaba inquired: "Ya Rasoolullah,(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) what is their sign?" He replied: "Sitting in a Halqa(circle)."(Mishkat Shareef, pp/308) SEVENTH HADITH Hazrat Ali(Radiallhu Anhu) once narrated: "I swear by Allah that to fall from the sky to the Earth is very simple for me, but to utter one false word in reference to the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is a very difficult and impossible task for me." Hazrat Ali(Radiallhu Anhu) then narrated as follows: "I heard the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying that as the Day of Qiyamah approaches there will appear a group of youths with a low mental capacity and understanding, apparently they will talk of good but their Imaan will not go beyond their throat and they will leave the true Deen like an arrow leaves the prey. Wherever you find them, you should make Jihaad with them.(Bukhari Shareef, pp/1024) EIGHTH HADITH The following Hadith is reported by Hazrat Abu Naim(Radiallhu Anhu) in his book entitled 'Huliya'. Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili(Radiallah Anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said "Before the Day of Qiyamah, they (Tableeghi Jamaat) will spread and attack bitterly like the small and the large insects and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah."(Huliya) Hazrat Hassan Basri(Radiallhu Anhu) narrated the following Hadith, "The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that there will come a time when people will speak of worldly affairs in the Masjid and when this period arrives, keep away from such people as Allah has no relation with them." (Mishkaat) In the previous Hadith, above, it is stated about this Group, that it will consist of youths of low mental capacity and understanding. If one desires to confirm this sign then one has to go to their Ijtima(as an observer) and one would find people of both these categories. You will also notice that a great number of ignorant people joining the Tableeghi Jamaat with the idea in mind that they are doing a great service to Islam. You will also find a group of little children from schools, colleges, madressas and the general public who without thinking or understanding join the Tableeghi Jamaat in the belief that they are rendering a religious service. These innocent, simple-minded individuals unwittingly become target of their deception and fraud. Thus, many youth and unwary persons have unconsciously joined the Tableeghi Jamaat due to their misleading tactics. In the eighth Hadith it is stated that before Doomsday the 'Mullahs' will multiply like the insects and the Masjids will be turned into a village pavilions or rural clubs. It is apparent from observation and experience that the Tableeghi Jamaat is a living picture of this Prophecy. There are a great number of individuals, who by merely reading a few pages of the "Tableeghi Nisab"(Teachings of Islam), automatically become Moulvies and Alims. These so-called Mullahs now utter disrespect and disregard for the Great Ulema, who have spent the best and greater part of their lives in attaining Islamic Knowledge at reputed colleges and Universities, here and abroad. The state of Masjids has now become the center of various activities besides a place of Worship. These gypsies(Tableeghi Jamaat members) have transformed the Masjid into a hostel, with canteen and sleeping hall and engage in other worldly affairs. This disgraceful and tormenting attitude towards the Masjid is both shocking and disheartening. NINTH HADITH Sayed Allama Dahlan(Rahmatullahi Alaihi) quotes in his book 'Addarus Sunnia' an authentic Hadith of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) which states: "There will be a Group of people emerging from the East who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go down their throats. They will leave the folds of Islam like an arrow leaves the bow never to return. A feature to recognize this Group is that their heads would be shaven clean."(Addarus Sunnia, pp/49) From the above Hadith it will be noted that since they deviate from the truth it is impossible for them to return to the Right Path. This Hadith could be put to a simple test by yourself, for the sake of confirmation of your doubts, if any, then confront a staunch follower of the Tableeghi Jamaat and try and influence him a thousand times and try t rid him of his false belief and not to associate with those who degrade the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and to believe in the true status of the Aulia Allah's(Saints). Surprisingly, you will note that your attempts and confrontation will fall on deaf ears and they will neither return t the truth nor will they try to reason and see the truth. Muhaddith Kabir Imam Abu Ya'la(Rahmatullahi Alaihi) narrates a Hadith from Hazrat Anas bin Malik(Radiallhu Anhu) and the Author of 'lbriz' who states: "Hazrat Anas Bin Malik(Radiallhu Anhu) narrates that in Medina, there lived a very pious youngster. One day we made reference about this youngster to the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). Inspite of the Sahaba describing the youngster's features and character to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was unable to recognize the youngster made mention of. However, a few days later, whilst we were in the company of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the young man passed that way. On seeing the young man, the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) exclaimed: 'I see the scabs of Shaitaan imprinted on his face. The youngster then approached the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and made salutation. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said to him:'Is it not true that right now you are thinking that there is no one better than yourself here, 'The youngster then replied: 'Yes, these thoughts did pass my mind.'He then walked away into the Masjid. The Prophet then inquired as to who will kill this person. Hazrat Abu Bakr(Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to do so and entered the Masjid and saw the person he was to kill engrossed in performing his Salaat and he remembered a Hadith of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) which prohibited one from killing a person who is performing his Salaat and returned to the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired as to who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Umar(Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to kill him and entered the Masjid and found the youngster performing his Sajda and with the same thoughts as Hazrat Abu Bakr(Radiallhu Anhu), Hazrat Umar(Radiallhu Anhu) returned to the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). For the third time the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Ali(Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to do so, the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:'You will surely kill him, if you find him.' When Hazrat Ali entered the Masjid, he was surprised to see that the youngster was no longer in the Masjid and he too like the others returned to the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: 'If you had only killed him then all the Fitna in my Ummah till Day of Qiyamah would have been wiped out and no two persons in my Ummah would have fought between themselves. "'(Ibreez Shareef, pp/277, Author Allama Shah Abdul Aziz Dabbaag (Rahmatullahi Alaihi)). The Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) informed the Sahaba (Companions) that among my Ummah will rise a Group of people who will recite the Quran, invite to good talks, will be punctual for their Salaat and will be mindful of their fasting, yet they will have no relation with Islam. With this confusion in their minds the Sahaba asked the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to forecast a sign to recognize this particular Group of people. The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied that their head will be shaven clean or sitting in circles. Let us all fervently pray to Almighty Allah, with the Grace and Blessings of the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) that Allah grants protection to all true Muslims from this false an astrayed Sect. I invite you to be impartial and ask yourself one question. Where is that group which the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) described so vividly in so many Ahadith? Is it so difficult to pinpoint them? Surely these prophetic statements are a pen-portrait of the Tableeghi Jamaat. SUMMARY OF AHADITH Zul Khuwaisra - the man who showed so much disrespect to the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was from the tribe of Bani Tamim. The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) foretold that the Wahhabi group who will cause much fitna, will be the off-springs of the above Munaafiq. Allama Dahlaan, the celebrated Historian of our era writes: "Zul Khuwaira was of the Banu Tamim tribe and so was Ibne Abdul Wahab Najdi."(Addarus Sunniah, pp/51). These Ahadith certainly do not fit the Kharajees because they were not the off-springs of Bani Tamim. Shah Abdul Haq the great Muhaddis of Delhi writes: "The Kharajees were not the descendants of Zul Khuwaisra."(Ashatul Lamaat, Commentary on Mishkat pp/535) Moulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar has made the following observations about the Wahhabi Najdi Jamaat: "The hands of Najd and Najdis are red with the blood of Muslims, this is their only achievement. Now too, there are hostilities with the Yemenis and a war is looming."(Maqaalaate Muhammad Ali, Part 1,pp/37) Read all hadith sharif especially ninth ---- Sign of the deviant group is SHAVING OF THE HEADS. SO ARE THE TABLIGHIJAMAT AND DEOBANDIS SHAVING THERE HEADS AND TELLING IT IS SUNNAH.......ASTAGFERULLAH REMEMBEER AMAL WILL NOT BE COUNTED IF AQIDAS ARE WRONG MORE NEXT TIME ALLAH HAFIZ

Assalamu alaikum, I myself am not tabligh, but one thing I can say is that when I was going through rough times, and had difficulties maintaining proper eeman, I started attending tabligh bayans, and subhanAllah, they were very effective, in reminding me about Allah, and allowing me be to hopeful, and in teaching me that in everything, I must always return to Allah. I also really like spending time with these brothers, they Alhamdulillah, constantly talk about Allah and His greatness. May Allah bless the tabligh jamaat, and continue to use them as a means for establishing deen on this earth If I said anything wrong, it was from myself and the shaitan, if I said anything good, it came solely from Allah Wassalam

My answer is Yes and No. Yes, it would be right to join Tabligi group if they actually intend to act according to the instruction of Sayyedina Mohammad Sallallahu a'laihiwa sallam to invite the people(musrique) to the Deen.But from my experience, not a single member of tablig goes to a non-muslim and invite to our deen!! No, for the reason that those who support or joned tablique do not accept other Msulims as Muslims. In one Juma' prayer I heard, one person preached that in the day of final judgement when all human being being shall be thursty for water; our sayyedina Mohammad, peace be upon him, will look for his deciples and will find most of the people's hands and faces (parts washed for ablution)would be shining. He, peace be upon him, will tell the Agenls to serve them water from abe kawsr; but as the preacher said, the Angels shall tell our Sayyedina that 'Ya Rasul Allah, these people are definitely amongs your ummah, they made ablution and prayed BUT THEY DID NOT JOIN YOUR TABLIGUE' Then, as the preacher said, Rasullah, peace be upon him will say THEN DON'T GIVE THEM WATER!!!! That means Muslims who did not join Tabligue are, according to Tabligui Jama in fact are not Ummat e Rasulullah, peace be upon him. Nawzibillah. Secondly, when any Jamat goes abroad, who pays their Airfare? I asked this question and the answer I got, We pay some and they pay the rest. Who are they? I saw the Mosque at Kakrail in Dhaka rising up and up. I ask who pays for it? No one knows where the money come from. I personally attended one Istema in Bangladesh and found no reason to join that. Every group preaches among themselves and no one from outside is allowed in that group. Azan announced by thousand of people, salat performed without using microphone. As a result, Imam finishes the prayer at least 15 to 30 minutes earlier and people at the end finishes 15 to 30 later. It would not happen if the Microphone would be used. Why they do not use Microphone when it has been being used in the Prophet's moswue as well as in the Masjidul haram? If using microphone is forbidden why it is being used in Masjid e nababi at Madena Manuwara? Is the Tabligue is better then the Aleems in that Mosque? Allah subhanu ta'lawill take care of these people. SO NO ONE SHOULD JOIN SUCH A MISLEAD PARTY, IF THEY DO WILL DOOM THEIR LIFE.

WHIE DISCRIBLES VISITING MADINA HE EVEN ADDS ONE BEATIFUL WAY OF VISITING QABAR OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET(SAW) THAT TO WRITE OUR SORROW IN ONE PAPER AND TO PUT THROUGH THE HOLL OF THE ROOM WHERE HIS QABAR LIES!! FROM THIS SORTS OF BIDA'THS A NORMAL PERSON COULD THINK HOW THEY UNDERSTANDING ISLAM. THEY MAKE UGLY THE FACE AND SHAREE'A OF ISLAM BY GRASPING LIKE THIS MANY STORIES. THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE PEOPLE INVOLVING PRAYINGS,DIKRS.. BUT ISLAM IS NOT SUCH A NARROW TASK. MEMBERS OF ISLAM SHOULD HAVE TO WORK SO WIDELY. IT SHULD TOUCH ALL FIELDS OF A HUMAN BEING. SO AM SAYING THAT A PERSON NEVER CAN UNDERSTAND IF HE IS GOIN WIHT THIS TROOP. NOT ONLY THT ONLY HELPS HIM TO BE A PEROSN WHO DOES SHIRKS AND BID'A. IF U NEED TO KNOW WHAT SORT OF SHIRKS THEY ARE INVOLVING, U COULD GET IT AFTER A FEW DAYS IN BELOW THIS SAME NAME OF MINE "SAADIR KARIM" REMEMBER SHIRK IS THE BIGGEST GREAT SIN.

Assalamoalaikum My Tablighi Brothers, If you want to defend the Tablighi Jamaat then do so by argument and not by calling others as Proud Salafis etc. Saadir Karim raised a question about the unauthentic material in Tablighi books. Some of it is totally laughable if you have a little knowledge of Quran and Hadeeth. So far i have not heard any Tablighi come forward and to say yes it is not good to spread unauthentic ahadeeth and stories. All they have to say is that since these ahadeeth/stories donot directly go against aqeedah it is acceptable. And since our manneism is very soft what we are doing is right. Tabligh is an excellent amal but the so called Tablighi Jamaat needs major reforms and needs to revert to the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW). If you are spreading it at such massive level it better be authentic material as close to the deen of the Prophet and Sahaba as possible. If somebody tells you about your genuine errors, instead of thanking him and correcting youself, you retaliate and call him proud Salafi etc. May Allah guide us and show us the right path

To Ibrahim. You can search the muslim, and non muslim world, as I have - and you will be amazed to find that this is the only group of people who will without any fees or charges, leave there families, jobs, and personal well being, and spend time with you and really convey Islam to you from the way to read Quran in arabic to the way to clip your toenails according to the way of the prophet. And hey, they do all of this while practicing a good part of it themselves. You're looking at the preservation of Islam in its practical, real life form my friend. Books and sermons will not give you that. I doubt any other format of an effort outside of the muslim east is providing that. If nothing and you find yourselves threatened by the Tablighi Jamaat effort, then do what many have done - enlighten yourself with the aspects and requirements of deen thru them and then dont go for Tabligh. I can gaurantee you not many muslims in france will want to spend thier personal time, wealth and effort to come to your town, masjid or house - to convey Islam to you thru words AND practice. So dont shoot yourself in the foot I would say. Critics are born every other second, I am one myself - but that doesnt take away from the validity of a movement that has had astronomical success in converting, reverting and enlightning millions of people across the globe. The tablighi jamaat seems to walk loud and speak light. Dont let critics misdirect you as this will only hurt your deen, not the critics deen.

As-salam alaikum, For the past six years I have been watching the Tabligh Jamaat and was quite impressed by their sincere effort. From my personal experience, I have a few comments below... REASON'sFOR JOINING THE TABLIGH JAMMAT 1. If your Iman is low and you are away from the basic Sunnah ( like daily prayers,etc ) and you are more interested in learning and following the basic of Islam, then joining the Jammat will be helpful, INSHALLAH. 2. If you feel that by not joining the Jamaat, it is very difficult or next to impossible to adhere to the SUNNAH. 3. Going for the Jamaat is a kind of Workshop where one shapes his Iman. If you feel that by inviting others for this Jamaat, you can correct yourself. REASON's FOR NOT JOINING THE TABLIGH JAMMAT 1. If you are more concern about the Aquida (BELIEF) 2. If you have sufficient knowledge of Islam and you think that you can follow the Sunnah with the help of Local Community Mosque or you are more interest in some other Jamaat. Please forgive me if I did any harm to our muslim brothers. Let there be no fighting among ourself. Allah Hafiz Mohammed Imtiazuddin imtiaz_786@yahoo.com

Assalamualaikum, Alhemdulillah, Wa salathu Wa salamu Ala Rasulul Karim (saw) wa'ala Alihi Wa ashabihi Ajma'een. Many people say, if we need to maintain our Iman v should be in thabliqhi circle. Brothers, in order to get much iman we cannot change our ways in Islam. If you are goin with Pakka sufis you may be getting more iman( I am talking about people who have not fair or pre knowledge about Islam). But the point is how we are working to get Iman. I think that if one person do n't much involve in worldly matters such as, marriage, doing Jobs, mingling with society he would be able to get and maintain more iman. Cause he only needs to focus in Allah by forgetting all those necessary things. But this is not they way of our Prophet done. Islam require to involve all matters. See one Du'a in holy Quran "Rabbana athina fi Dunya Hasana wa fil ahirathi hasanathan faqina adabannar" Oh our Lord, give us good in the world and give us good in hereafter and save us from your hell fire" So if v need to make practical this Du'a we should work also. So brothers, if v need to increase our Iman we should accept the right deeds. Other than believing and spreading in some stories, and unauthentic hadiths.. Read Quran with it's meaning. Read authentic Hadith. Attend all types of Islamic gatherings. Now a days you can see lot of Da'awa centers.. I know that Thabliqhi brothers gather and spend whole nights of Thursdays in Masjids. But I don't know how much they are aware on prophet one right Hadith it's meaning is like this " Do n't give any special particularity for Thursday�s evenings since you see this next day is Friday" Hadith is not perfectly like this (as I�ve forgot) but the essence is same. May Allah lead us through the right path. Assalamu Alaikum Saadir Karim

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. TABLIGHI JAMATH SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD IN LIGHT OF FOLLOWING THINGS. 1. QUR'AN (ALLAH'S WORDS) 2. SUNNAH AND SEERAH (THE WAY OF THE PROPHET-SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM). 3. THE WAY OF RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHS. THE ABOVE ARE REQUIRED IF ANYONE WANTS TO FOLLOW REAL ISLAM. BUT IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW REAL ISLAM, THEN THEY HAVE: FAZAIL AMAL, ONLY SIX POINTS (OUT OF WHOLE ISLAM WHICH WAS GIVEN TO US AS THE GREATEST 'NEMAH' THE ETERNAL GIFT AND A COMPLETE SET OF SOLUTIONS FOR OUR SOCIAL, ECONOMICAL, POLITICAL, GOVERNANCE(GOVERNAMENTAL), SPIRITUAL, MILITARY/WARFARE TACTICS, SCIENCE, MARITAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, LOGICAL, PEACE, AGREEMENTS, INTERNATIONAL RELATIOSHIONS, DIPLOMACY ETC). TABLIGHI LEADERS ARE NOT LIKE SAHABAS AND FOUR RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHS. THESE NOBLE PEOPLE SUPPORTED THE PROPHETS CAMPAIGN OF ISLAM BY MONEY, MILITARY SUPPORT, WEAPONS, EVEN SPYING ON KAFIR ENEMY MOVEMENTS AND ARMY, WAGING WAR AGAINST THEM, DIPLOMACY (LIKE SYEDENA USMAN GHANI'S VISIT TO MAKKAN LEADERS WHILE RASOOLULLAH (S) AND FOLLOWERS WERE STRANDED OUTSIDE MAKKAH -AND FALSE NEWS REACHED THE PROPHET (S) ABOUT UTHMAN (R) MURDER BY MAKKAN ENEMIES AND THE BAITH RIZWAN. ETC. IF THESE THINGS WERE NOT DONE, ISLAM WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN EXISTED NOR WON AGAINST THE ENEMY PLOTS. BUT TODAY TABLIGHIS ARE GIVING DISCOUTNT FROM ALLAH'S RELIGION AND WE HAVE 6 POINTS. WE HAVE INSTEAD OF HOLY QUR'AN, THEIR BOOK -FAZAIL AMAL (BEFORE IT WAS TABLIGHI NISAB) WRITTEN BY THEIR PEERS. IT STARTED IN INDIA IN 1920'S WITH A SMALL IDEA TO SAVE MUSLIMS FROM RE CONVERSION TO HINDUISM IN DELHI BUT NOW THAT HAS GROWN LIKE A RELIGION ITSELF. ALL NEW RULES, NEW FATWAS, NEW TARIKHAS. WHICH WE DON'T KNOW FROM QUR'AN AND HADITH NOR THE WAYS OF OUR NOBLE PREDECESSORS. WHO CAN GIVE A BOOK BETTER THAN HOLY QUR'AN? WHICH BOOK CAN DARE COMPETE WITH HOLY QUR'AN? THOSE WHO TRANSLATE THIS BOOK INTO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND FAIL TO READ THE BOOK OF ALLAH IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGES AND FAIL TO UNDERSTAND HIS WORDS AND STILL CLAIM THAT THEY ARE DOING THE SERVICE OF ALLAH'S DEEN AND THAT TOO IN THE MANNER OF PROPHET (S) AND SAHABA IS NOTHING BUT UTTER FALSEHOOD. BUT IN MUSLIMS THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO BELIEVE LIARS EVEN IF THEY LIE FROM THE MOSQUE PULPIT BECAUSE THEY HAVE EXTERNAL GARB AND GOOD APPEARANCE. BUT ALLAH IS CALLING THEM TO READ HOLY QUR'AN AND TELLING THEM TO APPLY IT. BUT HOW? HOW CAN YOU APPLY IT IF YOU DON'T READ AND UNDERSTAND IT? SO LONG AS THESE PEOPLE STICK TO FAZAIL AMAL BOOK, THEY WILL ALWAYS LANGUISH IN THE DARKNESS AND PREVENT OTHERS FROM ALLAH'S LIGHT. YOU MUST NOT CHALLENGE ALLAH'S BOOK IF YOU ARE TRUE BELIEVER AND FOLLOWER OF ALLAH'S PROPHET (S). IF TODAY ALLAH'S PROPHET OR SAHABIS COME AND A QUESTION TO WHY YOU TABLIGHIS HAVE THIS BOOK INSTEAD OF HOLY QUR'AN, WHAT ANSWER THEY CAN GIVE? SO LET US NOT BE DUPED BY THESE PEOPLE, DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. LET US NOT DECEIVE OURSELVES AND OTHER HUMANS LEST WE SHOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FITNA, SINS OF ALL OTHERS. NAUZUBILLAH. FURTHER JEWS AND OTHER ENEMIES WANT SUCH A JAMAT AMONG US WHO DO NOT REALISE THE REAL VALUE AND POWER OF ISLAM AND IF MUSLIMS RAISE UP WITH HOLY QUR'AN AND ITS STRATEGIES AND POLICIES, THEN THAT WILL BE THE END OF THEIR GAMES. BUT GOVERNMENTS PROJECT THESE PEOPLE AS GOOD, THEY HELP THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE SILENT SATANS, BECAUSE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH HATE, ENMITY, INJUSTICE, AND FALSE PROPAGANDA AGAINST ISLAM, THEY ARE STILL NOT COMING TO HOLY QUR'AN AND FOLLOWING ALLAH'S DICTATES. THEY STICK TO THEIR PLAN WHICH THEY ARE DOING FOR THE PAST 85 YEARS AND WE CAN NOT WIN BECAUSE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO RUN AWAY FROM PROBLEMS, INSTEAD OF FACING THEM. SAHABIS WERE NOT LIKE THIS. LET US LIKE SAHABIS AND NOT LIKE TABLIGHIS. AAMEEN. MAY ALLAH GUIDE US ALL ON HIS TRUE PATH AND SAVE US FROM HELL FIRE. AAMEEN.

For the critics, I would like to say: that at the age of 55 yrs my father has learned and recited quran. He memorised the Holy Quran upto 20%(like Sure Yassin, Sure Raheman, sure MUlk... etc). He is now a person who along with his daily activities has made Islam his part of life. He went to mecca for haaj, He fasts throughout ramadan, he never , never misses his 5 times daily prayers! Is is not a great acheivement in bringing the true self of a muslim person? Allah has provided everybody with wisdom and mind... so think and judge.

People engaged in Tabligh do emphasise fundamentals of Islam. Even if you look at Fazail e-Amaal it basically is drumming into you to concentrate on Quran, Zikr, Salaat, Hajj, Zakat etc. Then it gives a simple method that was used by Nabi (saw) and Sahabah and in particular by Hadhrat Umar (ra) to go and propogate Islam to the masses and ensure Muslims were not neglecting the congreagational prayers in the Masjid. Also all Tabligh members do not go door to door to give dawah but only the most responsible and leaerned amongst them. People like myself who are new to Islam are given religious lessons, arabic lessons, Quran recitation etc to learn. They also get you to do jobs which are rewarding such as cleaning the Masjid, cooking for the jamaat etc. We also pray 5 daily prayers and the extra prayers such as Salatul Ishraq, Salatul Chast, Tahajjud etc. Even after doing this for a couple of days and u go back home spirtually refreshed and having learnt so much and most importantly you have lived like a Muslim for that time with no TV, or wasting of time. I would like to say to the people who critice it that the majority of them need to visit a place where tabligh has been practised rigourously which is mainly in the northern towns such as Dewsbury, Bury, Preston, Huddersfield, Batley or a few certain parts of Birmingham or Walsall and they will see that the environment is definetly a lot more Islamic and spiritual than where little or no Tabligh is in operation. Also those who do criticise it are not part of any successful movement themselves and are in fact doing the job that the kuffar want them to do. The majority of the UK kuffar know that the biggest threat to them is going to come from Tabligh and Deobandi people. Salafis concetration on Tauheed is good but beyond that they do not have much to contribute and tend to go round performing takfeer on other Muslims and I would like to know how many of their scholars have actually died for Islam? Also the distinction needs to be drawn between uk salafis and the salafis of middle east who do follow Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (rahmatull'alay) and do do taqleed. Salafis abandoning of taqleed is one of their biggest mistakes as can be seen when people of their knowledge try and re-interpret hadiths and disassociate themselves from the main body of the Muslims as is the case of their 8 rakats of Taraweeh and their interpretation of masah of socks not kuffain, straightening of lines for prayer, wearing shoes to pray etc are also quite strange views. Re Taraweeh being 8 rakats is actually quite strange though when at the Birmingham Salafi Masjid on Wright Street they actually quote Majmoo Al-Fatwa of Ibn Taymiyya and At Talkheesul Habeer of Imam Ibn Hajr and the fatwas contained in them regarding regular prayers or other acts of faith etc yet both books quite clearly state that Taraweeh is 20 rakats! And salafis tend to ignore that chapter. Also the hadith on which salafis rely narrated by Aisha (ra) in Bukhari (which Bukhari put under the heading of Night Prayer ie, Tahajjud but they think that their current scholar sitting in Birmingham knows more than Imam Bukahri!) actually states that the Prophet (saw) would pray 4 rakats then another 4 rakats and then 3 rakats. The eight rakats (2 x 4) is Tahajjud and the 3 rakats is Witr. So if the Salafis relied on this hadith for Taraweeh then why don't they practise Taraweeh in this way as they pray 4 x 2 rakats. And if they bother to turn the page in Bukhari then they will see that Imam Bulhari has recorded the hadiths relating to Taraweeh being 20 rakats! Also all 4 Imams state quite clearly 20 rakats and not 8. However, I am prepared to put aside these differences and concentrate on the biggest issue facing the ummah today and to which many deobandis have paid attention and that is the fitnah of the shia. And these shia are masters at causing in fighting between Muslims I will quickly outline the heretical views of shias which they pracise under the guise of Islam and are causing serious damage to islam: 1. They do not belive in the Kalimah of Muslims and have added 3 sentences re: Ali (ra) 2. They believe Allah (SWT) makes mistakes and sometimes forgets - Asthagfirullah 3. They believe that QUran is false and that their hidden Imam - who has been hiding in a cave for 1000 years since he was 2 years old! has the real Quran which is 3 times longer than the Quran which we read. Astaghfirullah 4. They belive in 12 Imams who came after the Prophet (saw) and these 12 Imams are sinless, known the unseen and have more knowledge than the 124,000 nabis that were sent to earth. Asthagfirullah 5. Khomeini in al Huqoomiyah Islamia states that Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman were complete Kafirs. Astaghfirullah. May the man perish in hell 6. They do not belive in the six books of hadiths ie, bukhari, muslim, abu dawud, tirmidhi, nisai ibn majah but have their own 4 books of hadiths of which their most authentic is Usool e- Kafi 7. Some of the sections of Usool e-Kafi are as follows: I apologise to any Muslim sisters in advance of the language they contain but this is merely to remove the cloak from shiasm and expose it: a. The permissability of having sex with one's wife through the anus b. The permissability of sodomy c. The permissability of homosexuality d. The Imams knowledge is greater than 124,000 Prophets e. The permissability of having sex with one's mother and sister f. Homosexuality makes one closer to Allah g. Mutah (temporary marriage) makes one closer to Allah These are some of the filthy themes of their "sahih" Hadith book Usool e-Kafi Nothing further needs to be said 8. Taqqiyah or telling lies is considered to be a fundamental part of shiasm and is also contained in there hadith books. Khomeni said that Taqiyyah is 90% of shias beliefs so basically they can tell lies to confuse muslims as to their real beliefs and this is what they have done to the simple-minded Muslims 9. Mutah (temporary marriage) is basically legalised prostitution and many shias are engaging in this vile activity in UK. see www.mutah.com. Marriages can last anything from 3 hours, 3 weeks, 3 years etc and man has no obligation to any offspring born from such a wedlock 10. Many simple Muslims have given their daughters in marriage to shias and those daughters have then been passed around shia men in mutah and sometimes up to 20 men are doing mutah with one girl 11.

Bismillaa-hirrahmaa-nirraheem To all sincere seekers of the truth. Anytime a Muslim is making a decision, he or she should seek Allah swt'sguidance and wisdom. Allah swt alone knows what is best for us, and there may be good in what we perceive as bad, and bad in what we perceive as good. If you are ambivalent or unsure about a decision you have to make, there is a specific prayer for guidance (Salat-l-Istikhara) that you can do to ask for Allah swt'shelp in making your decision. Should you marry this certain person? Should you attend this graduate school? Should you take this job offer or that one? Should you be involved in TABLIGH (Which means to call on towards in arabic) Allah swt knows what is best for you, and if you are not sure about a choice that you have, seek His guidance. The one who does the istikhara is as if they request Allah Almighty that, O the Knower of Unseen (Exalted is He) guide me if this task is better for me or not? The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, "If one of you is concerned about some practical undertaking, or about making plans for a journey, he should perform two cycles (rak'atain of voluntary prayer." Then he/she should say the following du'a Allahumma inni astakheeroka bi ilmik. Wa'astaqdiroka biqodratik. Wa'as'alokain fadlikal-azeem. Fa'innakataqdiru wala aqdir. Wata lamo wala-a lam. Wa'antaallamul ghuyoob. Allahumma in kunta ta lamu anna (hathal-amra) khayul-lee fi deenee wama ashi wa ajila amri wa'ajilah faqdorho lee, wayassirho lee, thomma-barik lee fih. Wa'inkonta ta lamo anna (hathal-amra) sharrul-lee fi deenee. Wama ashi. Wa ajila amri. Wa'ajilaho Fasrifho annee. Wasrifnee anh. Waqdur leyal-khayr haytho kan. Thomma ardini bih. * When making the du'a the actual matter or decision should be mentioned instead of the words "hathal-amra" ("this matter"). * And it is better to do istikhara seven (7) times and after reciting the supplication, given above, sleep with ablution facing the direction of the Qibla. * It is better to recite Surah Fatiha (Allhamd�) and salutations on the Prophet Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him (darood/ salawat) before the supplication. * If in a dream one sees whiteness or greenery then understand that this task is better and if one sees redness or blackness then understand it is bad and avoid it. The dream itself may also indicate the direction of guidance. * If dont remember any dream or dont see any colors then follow your heart. Whatever intention grows stronger in your heart regarding your targated work follow it after seven nights of Istakhara. Dua in english; Oh Allah! I seek Your guidance by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power; I have none. And You know; I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. Oh Allah! If in Your knowledge, (this matter) is good for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge, (this matter) is bad for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it. And ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and make me content with it. (SOURCE http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Dua/How_to_do_Istakhara.htm) Google search- Istikhara Sincere brothers and sisters, such a highly recommended Sunnah which can be found in any good dua'sof the Prophet (saw) book is surely going to tell us whether or not this work of tabligh, i.e calling towards Islam is a good one. All no-one is perfect we cant judge the work by its people as some are bound to make mistakes but SubhanAllah I have seen with my own eyes brothers of the worst kind, including myself change for the better after going on jamaat. I cant understand how something being an innovation could possibly give the boost of Imaan seen in all determined brothers and have been allowed to spread so far and wide across the world, surely bid'ahdoesnt make someone a better person since it is their actions and behaviour that will testify to this. Shaikh Al-Bani himself once refuted the work but after an invitation to see for himeself what it involved, he took back all that he said and remarked that it was the best work being done by muslims at the present time. Now if you truly fear Allah swt look into this for yourself. What do we learn? simple, the basics of Islam, the kalimah, how to pray according to sunnah, the importance of sunnah, the basic dua'sfor eating/sleeping/waking up/entering the bathroom etc, tajwid of Qur'an daily tasbih of astagfirullah/third kalimah and durood sharif and many other actions fard or recommended for muslims. Up to date I havnt seen anything against the spirit of Islam, As Allah swt knows best about this work, I ask all of us inshaAllah to do Istikhara sincerely and see for ourselves if this work is on the sunnah of the noble Prophet (saw) AND LASTLY In reply to Answer by masks_786in@yahoo.com Submitted on 4/11/2004 I checked the hadith's you quoted, not one of them are present in the collections, search for yourself at http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/searchhadith.html JazakAllah Khair

Hinduism to Christianity to Islam The following story is about a brother from Guyana who became a Muslim from being a Hindu and Christian Priest for 10 years. His current name is Ahmed Tabarani. He was born in a poor Hindu family in Guyana. However, he used to dislike worshipping statues since his childhood. As he grew up, he became connected with the local Church because they worshipped three divine beings (God, Jesus and Holy Spirit) rather than worshipping hundreds of idols. Eventually, he became a Christian and studied for many years to become a Christian priest. The Church hired him and paid for all his travelling and living expenses. His family became very pleased to see that because he became a Christian, their poverty was removed. As a result, the whole family became Christians. During the 10 years of serving as a Priest, he always used to wake up at night and meditate. He used to ask God to show him whether he was following the truth. In one such nights, he had a vision. He saw that three people dressed in white long throbes, wearing turban and beard are walking towards him and these people are to show him the true religion. After seeing this vision, many years passed by but he didn't see such a thing happening. But one day, a group of Muslims (part of Tabligh Jamah) visited a Masjid near his place to call people towards Allah. That afternoon, as he was going to the Church, he saw three of these Muslims are coming towards him. Immediately, he remembered his vision. These three Muslims resembled exactly what he saw in the vision. Then he approached them and asked what religion they follow. The Muslims told him about Islam and he became a Muslim on the spot and quit being a priest. Poverty again took over his family as he quit his job. All his family members, especially his mother, became angry at him for becoming a Muslim. But he said the following words to his mother, "Dear mother, I could give you a new pair of shoes, but they will become worn out. I could give you a new dress, but that too will become old and ripped. But I can give you something that will never finish. My mother, say 'There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger.'" The mother was really touched by this statement and became a Muslim. Following her, everyone else in the family also became Muslims. For 15 years, Ahmed Tabarani is a practising Muslim serving Islam with his total energy. He is currently living in Canada. source: http://www.islamcan.com

As Muslims we must remember that seeking knowledge is obligatory upon us. Mus'ab bin Umayr was selected by the Prophet to give da'wah in Madinah because of the qualities that he poses and knowledge of the Deen. He stayed there for good to do this work, calling people to Islam. Not all the companions travelled in order to do da'wah, does it mean that they did not accept the responsibility to spread the word just because they remain in their country of birth? Of course not! They perform da'wah even in their countries, their village, area etc. Within their own roles as traders, shephards, housewives that they performed their own roles as da'i, doing da'wah. Da'wah must not only be limited to be given in travel, only when we go overseas or in seclusion with a group that we can perform da'wah. Remember that we are also answerable to those that are closest to us. Didn't the prophet do da'wah to the ones closest to him first? Something for all of us to ponder. Allaahu a'laam

Salam to everyone. A french catholic priest has reverted to islam a few years ago when he kept in touch with brothers from the tabligh jamaa't. They were very patient with him and answered all his questions concerning islam. He went to India ( or Pakistan ), I don't remember the place..but he was so surprised to see all the muslims in this place, he asked a lot of questions and he took shahada.MASHA-ALLAH. Tabligh jama't is doing a GREAT work for Islam in France and it gives the possibility everyday to guide french christians and even muslims who don't really practise islam..to the truth al-hamdoullilah. Also, I ask to ALLAH (swt ) to UNITE this ummah...because a lot of people hate islam and work for destroying it. THAT'S WHY WE MUST STAY UNITED EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T AGREE WITH SOME DETAILS.

Tablighi Jammat is not a jammat, if it was jammaat or group of people then it would have been vanished ages ago.This is the work that has been done by All the prophets and Our Dear proher Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) and his companion its the way of their life. When Prophet Mohammed left this world sahaba( his companions) did this work of dawa through out thier lives and if they had not done it how we could have born as muslims. Do we think that there is no need for a prophet these days where there are millions of non beleivers on the face of earth and the believers are in such a worst condition. 90% of the ummah does pray salaat have the qualities of non believers, neglecting the commands of Allah the sustainer. We have lost the level on which we have been left by the prophet because we did not consider this as a important work we have left the life and ways of prophet Mohammad SAW and getting bashed by every one. Why was Prophet Mohammad worried about? for himself or his family or friends? NO he was worreied for us for this ummah we have left the fikr the concern of the prophet and thats why god is not happy with us..... remember friends this life is temprorary and short mybe sixty years or sixty more days we dont know, we know the date of birth but not the date of death... Well I am not a Aalim or a very intellectual person but I believe that this work is from shariyah because the work of dawa is about inviting towards the good and stopping from the bad as the quran clarifies that has a mafoom" that you are the best Ummah who call people towards the good and stops from the bad" I think an Aalim or scholar could be an awesome help in this situation May Allah gives us A deep understanding of this work the follow the path of Prophet SAW..

Why Does One have to follow a madhhab? Debate Between Muhammad Sa'id al-Buti and a Leading Salafi Teacher (c) Translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller 1995 [Nuh Ha Mim Keller:] I will close this answer by translating a conversation that took place in Damascus between Shari�a professor Muhammad Sa�id al-Buti, and a Salafi teacher. Buti asked him: Buti: �What is your method for understanding the rulings of Allah? Do you take them from the Qur�an and sunna, or from the Imams of ijtihad?� Salafi: �I examine the positions of the Imams and their evidences for them, and then take the closest of them to the evidence of the Qur�an and Sunna.� Buti: �You have five thousand Syrian pounds that you have saved for six months. You then buy merchandise and begin trading with it. When do you pay zakat on the merchandise, after six months, or after one year?� Salafi: [He thought, and said,] �Your question implies you believe zakat should be paid on business capital.� Buti: �I am just asking. You should answer in your own way. Here in front of you is a library containing books of Qur�anic exegesis, hadith, and the works of the mujtahid Imams.� Salafi: [He reflected for a moment, then said,] �Brother, this is din, and not simple matter. One could answer from the top of one�s head, but it would require thought, research, and study; all of which take time. And we have come to discuss something else.� Buti: I dropped the question and said, �All right. Is it obligatory for every Muslim to examine the evidences for the positions of the Imams, and adopt the closest of them to the Qur�an and Sunna?� Salafi: �Yes.� Buti: �This means that all people possess the same capacity for ijtihad that the Imams of the madhhabs have; or even greater, since without a doubt, anyone who can judge the positions of the Imams and evaluate them according to the measure of the Qur�an and sunna must know more than all of them.� Salafi: He said, �In reality, people are of three categories: the muqallid or �follower of qualified scholarship without knowing the primary textual evidence (of Qur�an and hadith)�; the muttabi�, or �follower of primary textual evidence�; and the mujtahid, or scholar who can deduce rulings directly from the primary textual evidence (ijtihad). He who compares between madhhabs and chooses the closest of them to the Qur�an is a muttabi�, a follower of primary textual evidence, which is an intermediate degree between following scholarship (taqlid) and deducing rulings from primary texts (ijtihad).� Buti: �Then what is the follower of scholarship (muqallid) obliged to do?� Salafi: �To follow the mujtahid he agrees with.� Buti: �Is there any difficulty in his following one of them, adhering to him, and not changing?� Salafi: �Yes there is. It is unlawful (haram).� Buti: �What is the proof that it is unlawful?� Salafi: �The proof is that he is obliging himself to do something Allah Mighty and Majestic has not obligated him to.� Buti: I said, �Which of the seven canonical readings (qira�at) do you recite the Qur�an in?� Salafi: �That of Hafs.� Buti: �Do you recite only in it, or in a different canonical reading each day.� Salafi: �No, I recite only in it.� Buti: �Why do you read only it when Allah Mighty and Majestic has not obliged you to do anything except to recite the Qur�an as it has been conveyed�with the total certainty of tawatur (being conveyed by witnesses so numerous at every stage of transmission that their sheer numbers obviate the possibility of forgery or alteration), from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)?� Salafi: �Because I have not had a opportunity to study other canonical readings, or recite the Qur�an except in this way.� Buti: �But the individual who learns the fiqh of the Shafi�i school�he too has not been able to study other madhhabs or had the opportunity to understand the rules of his religion except from this Imam. So if you say that he must know all the ijtihads of the Imams so as to go by all of them, it follows that you too must learn all the canonical readings so as to recite in all of them. And if you excuse yourself because you cannot, you should excuse him also. In any case, what I say is: where did you get that it is obligatory for a follower of scholarship (muqallid) to keep changing from one madhhab to another, when Allah has not obliged him to? That is, just as he is not obliged to adhere to a particular madhhab, neither is he obliged to keep changing.� Salafi: �What is unlawful for him is adhering to one while believing that Allah has commanded him to do so.� Buti: �That is something else, and is true without a doubt and without any disagreement among scholars. But is there any problem with his following a particular mujtahid, knowing that Allah has not obliged him to do that?� Salafi: �There is no problem.� Buti: [Al-Khajnadi�s] al-Karras, which you teach from, contradicts you. It says this is unlawful, in some places actually asserting that someone who adheres to a particular Imam and no other is an unbeliever (kafir).� Salafi: He said, �Where?� and then began looking at the Karras, considering its texts and expressions, reflecting on the words of the author �Whoever follows one of them in particular in all questions is a blind, imitating, mistaken bigot, and is �among those who have divided their religion and are parties� [Qur�an 30:32]. He said, �By follows, he means someone who believes it legally obligatory for him to do so. The wording is a little incomplete.� Buti: I said, �What evidence is there that that�s what he meant? Why don�t you just say the author was mistaken?� Salafi: He insisted that the expression was correct, that it should be understood as containing an unexpressed condition [i.e. �provided one believes it is legally obligatory�], and he exonerated the writer from any mistake in it. Buti: I said, �But interpreted in this fashion, the expression does not address any opponent or have any significance. Not a single Muslim is unaware that following such and such a particular Imam is not legally obligatory. No Muslim does so except from his own free will and choice.� Salafi: �How should this be, when I hear from many common people and some scholars that it is legally obligatory to follow one particular school, and that a person may not change to another?� Buti: �Name one person from the ordinary people or scholars who said that to you.� He said nothing, and seemed surprised that what I said could be true, and kept repeating that he had thought that many people considered it unlawful to change from one madhhab to another. I said, �You won�t find anyone today who believes this misconception, though it is related from the latter times of the Ottoman period that they considered a Hanafi changing from his own school to another to be an enormity. And without a doubt, if true, this was something that was complete nonsense from them; a blind, hateful bigotry.� I then said, �Where did you get this distinction between the muqallid �follower of scholarship� and the muttabi� �follower of evidence�: Is there a original, lexical distinction [in the Arabic language], or is it merely terminological?� Salafi: �There is a lexical difference.� Buti: I brought him lexicons with which to establish the lexical difference between the two words, and he could not find anything. I then said: �Abu Bakr (Allah be well pleased with him) said to a desert Arab who had objected to the alotment for him agreed upon by the Muslims, �If the Emigrants accept, you are but followers��using the word "followers" (tabi�) to mean �without any prerogative to consider, question, or discuss.�� (Similar to this is the word of Allah Most High, �When those who were followed (uttubi�u) disown those those who followed (attaba�u) upon seeing the torment, and their relations are sundered� (Qur�an 2:166), which uses follow (ittiba�) for the most basic blind imitation). Salafi: He said, �Then let it be a technical difference: don�t I have a right to establish a terminological usage?� Buti: �Of course. But this term of yours does not alter the facts. This person you term a muttabi� (follower of scholarly evidence) will either be an expert in evidences and the means of textual deduction from them, in which case he is a mujtahid. Or, if not an expert or unable to deduce rulings from them, then he is muqallid (follower of scholarly conclusions). And if he is one of these on some questions, and the other on others, then he is a muqallid for some and a mujtahid for others. In any case, it is an either-or distinction, and the ruling for each is clear and plain.� Salafi: He said, �The muttabi� is someone able to distinguish between scholarly positions and the evidences for them, and to judge one to be stronger than others. This is a level different to merely accepting scholarly conclusions. Buti: �If you mean,� I said, �by distinguishing between positions differentiating them according to the strength or weakness of the evidence, this is the highest level of ijtihad. Are you personally able to do this?� Salafi: �I do so as much as I can.� Buti: �I am aware,� I said, �that you give as a fatwas that a three fold pronouncement of divorce on a single occasion only counts as one time. Did you check, before this fatwa of yours, the positions of the Imams and their evidences on this, then differentiate between them, so to give the fatwa accordingly? Now, �Uwaymir al-�Ajlani pronounced a three fold divorce at one time in the presence of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) after he had made public imprecation against her for adultery (li�an), saying, �If I retain her, O Messenger of Allah, I will have lied against her: she is [hereby] thrice divorced.� What do you know about this hadith and its relation to this question, and its bearing as evidence for the position of the scholarly majority [that a threefold divorce pronounced on a single occasion is legally finalized and binding] as opposed to the position of Ibn Taymiya [that a threefold divorce on a single occasion only counts as once]?� Salafi: �I did not know this hadith.� Buti: �Then how could you give a fatwa on this question that contradicts what the four madhhabs unanimously concur upon, without even knowing their evidence, or how strong or weak it was? Here you are, discarding the principle you say you have enjoined on yourself and mean to enjoin on us, the principle of �following scholarly evidence (ittiba�)� in the meaning you have terminologically adopted.� Salafi: �At the time I didn�t own enough books to review the positions of the Imams and their evidence.� Buti: �Then what made you rush into giving a fatwa contravening the vast majority of Muslims, when you hadn�t even seen any of their evidences?� Salafi: �What else could I do? I asked and I only had a limited amount of scholarly resources.� Buti: �You could have done what all scholars and Imams have done; namely, say �I didn�t know,� or told the questioner the postition of both the four madhhabs and the postion of those who contravene them; without givng a fatwa for either side. You could have done this, or rather, this was what was obligatory for you, especially since the poblem was not personally yours so as to force you to reach some solution or another. As for your giving a fatwa contradicting the consensus (ijma�) of the four Imams without knowing�by your own admission�their evidences, sufficing yourself with the agreement in your heart for the evidences of the opposition, this is the very utmost of the kind of bigotry you accuse us of.� Salafi: �I read the Imams� opinions in [Nayl al-awtar, by] Shawkani, Subul al-salam [by al-Amir al-San�ani], and Fiqh al-sunna by Sayyid Sabiq.� Buti: These are the books of the opponents of the four Imams on this question. All of them speak from one side of the question, mentioning the proofs that buttress their side. Would you be willing to judge one litigant on the basis of his words alone, and that of his witnesses and relatives?� Salafi: I see nothing blameworthy in what I have done. I was obliged to give the questioner an answer, and this was as much as I was able to reach with my understanding.� Buti: �You say you are a �follower of scholarly evidence (muttabi�)� and we should all be likewise. You have explained �following evidence� as reviewing the positions of all madhhabs, studying their evidences, and adopting the closest of them to the correct evidence�while in doing what you have done, you have discarded the principle completely. You know that the unanimous consensus of the four madhhabs is that a threefold pronouncement of divorce on one occasion counts as a three fold, finalized divorce, and you know that they have evidences for this that you arae unaware of, despite which you turn from their consensus to the opinion that your personal preference desires. Were you certain beforehand that the evidence of the four Imams deserved to be rejected?� Salafi: No; but I wasn�t aware of them, since I didn�t have any reference works on them.� Buti: �Then why didn�t you wait? Why rush into it, when Allah never obligated you to do anything of the sort? Was your not knowing the evidences of the scholarly majority a proof tht Ibn Taymiya was right? Is the bigotry you wrongly accuse us of anything besides this?� Salafi: �I read evidences in the books available to me that convinced me. Allah has not enjoined me to do more than that.� Buti: �If a Muslim sees a proof for something in a the books he reads, is that a sufficient reason to disregard the madhhabs that contradict his understanding, even if he doesn�t know their evidences?� Salafi: �It is sufficient.� Buti: �A young man, newly religious, without any Islamic education, reads the word of Allah Most High �To Allah belongs the place where the sun rises and where it sets: wherever you turn, there is the countenance of Allah. Verily, Allah is the All-encompassing, the All-knowing (Qur�an 2:115), and gathers from it that a Muslim may face any direction he wishes in his prescribed prayers, as the ostensive purport of the verse implies. But he has heard that the four Imams unanimously concur upon the necessity of his facing

I have read all mails with interest. It clearly shows that tabligh work is for all muslims. For all of us who seek the truth, should sincerely ask ALLAH subhanahu ta'alafor guidance. All prejudices are false. Sincere efforts yield positive results. People should be more concerned about the Muslims who are not praying than the ones who are praying but according to their own way and arguing with them day and night. Internal discussions regarding issues should be left to ulama. One should not impose his version on others. The best way is to stick with TJ and give dawa to ones own family, own locality and all the world. Prophet Muhammad SAW gave dawa to people of Taa'ifalthough his own family and his clan had not accepted Islam. So it is wrong to say the one should go to other place when own locality has been reformed. Please concentrate on dawa work and be patient and do not indulge in hot debates with all other Muslims who don't agree with this great work due to sheer ignorance. Pray for all humanity yours Zubair

Assalaamu alaykum. Respected brothers. Allah ta'alademands in Quran that we should die only as muslim. (Search yourself for the ayah). Now in the present days of fitnah, dying with imaan is a big task. The imaan is attacked from all around. Rasulullah sas had predicted that a day will come a person will a muslim in the morning and by evening he will seize to be a muslim. It will be tragic if we don't die as a muslim. Now to save our imaa, the best thing is, we have run to jungles and live there. We don't have enough guts to do that. Any organisation or jamaat which can say that come to us directly from where ever you are (casinos, clubs, liquors shops) we have a mechanism to clean you up. (giving full time with you and we will correct all evils, we will correct your imaan, aamaals, and also we will help you keep this treasure till your death). We welcome them. But alas present day knowledgable people have only one goal. Rather than helping others to preserve the imaan, they issue certificates of kaafirs mushriks to every muslim around them. Once the seriousness of dying with imaan, correcting our acts (aamaal) is understood, the tableeg work is best understood.

A brief biography of Jamaah At-Tableegh Taken from al-Fataawaa al-Jaliyyah 'an al-Manaahij ad-Da'wiyyah Translated by Abuz-Zubayr 'Abdur-Rahmaan Harrison Written by/Said by Ash-Shaykh Ahmad ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee Edited by Editorial Staff at tazkiyah.org Jamaah At-Tableegh They are the followers of Muhammad Ilyaas, the founder of this group. Biography of the Founder: Muhammad Ilyaas was born in the year 1302 Hijrah. He memorized the Qur'aan and studied the six books of Hadeeth according to the Deobandee Hanafee manhaj which is an Ash'aree and Maatureedee madhhab pertaining to 'Aqeedah and a Soofee madhhab. The different "paths" of Soofism within them are four: Naqshbandiyyah Suhoorudiyyah Qaadiriyyah Jashtiyyah The founder, Shaykh Muhammad Ilyaas, made a pledge of Soofism at the hand of Shaykh Rasheed al-Kankoohee and then revived this pledge after Shaykh Rasheed al-Kankoohee at the hand of Shaykh Ahmad as-Sahaaranghooree who was the one who permitted him to be able to take pledges of allegiance to this well-known Soofee manhaj. Muhammad Ilyaas used to sit in privacy at the grave of Shaykh Noor Muhammad al-Badaayoonee. He also used to be the Jashtiyyah watchperson over the grave of 'Abdul-Quddoos al-Kankoohee who was completely overwhelmed by the idea of Wahdah al-Wujood (That Allaah is everywhere and one with His creation). He was raised and studied in Delhi and died there in the year 1363 Hijrah. Circumstances That Caused the Emergence of This Group: Shaykh Aboo al-Hasan an-Nadwee holds that Muhammad Ilyaas resorted to this path of giving dawah when the ways of blind following for the rectification of the people in his region were exhausted. Shaykh Mayaan Muhammad Aslam reports from some of the statements of Ilyaas that this path was inspired to him by a "new Tafseer", presented to his soul in a dream, of the Aayah: "You are the best nation sent out (produced) for mankind. You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and you believe in Allaah." [Aali Imraan : 110] This new Tafseer necessitates that the realization and actualization of being sent out for calling to Allaah is not achieved by remaining in one place based upon the proof in Allaah's statement: "sent out" and that one's Eemaan increases with this Khurooj based upon the proof that Allaah said: "you believe in Allaah." only after He mentioned: "sent out" So there are a number of issues of consideration with what has preceded: 1. The Qur'aan is not explained by inspirations and Soofee dreams which most of, rather all of them, are revelations of Shaytaan. 2. It is apparent from what has preceded that the founder of this group was completely immersed in Soofism and he made two pledges of allegiance to it (Soofism) and he was tested by the heads of Soofism. He also spent his time sitting at graves. 3. The founder of this group was superstitious and one who frequents graves innovatively which is apparent because he "used to sit in privacy at the grave of Shaykh Noor..." and it was mentioned about the second (Shaykh's grave that he used to visit) that he "was completely overwhelmed by the idea of Wahdah al-Wujood." Indeed, his devotion and seclusion at the grave of someone who was overcome with this ideology is a clear proof because he also used to promote it. 4. The people who believe in Wahdah al-Wujood claim that Allaah takes the form of a beautiful woman - and we seek Allaah's refuge. This is something of the highest level of evil. May Allaah give them to what they deserve of curses and anger. The manhaj of the Tableegh dawah is summarized in six matters, or principles, or six characteristics: 1. The Realization of the Shahaadah: "Laa ilaaha illa Allaah." 2. Praying with submissiveness and humbleness. 3. Knowledge of the virtues, not issues, along with Dhikr. 4. Honoring the Muslim. 5. Correction of one's intention. 6. Calling to Allaah and making Khurooj in the path of Allaah according to the Tableegh manhaj. For each one of these principles or characteristics, there is an intended objective behind it. So the objective behind "Laa ilaaha illa Allaah", for example, is: Removing the corrupt Yaqeen (certain faith) from one's heart and replacing it with the correct Yaqeen pertaining to the essence of Allaah. By this, they mean Wahdah al-Wujood. The Points of Criticism Against Jamaah At-Tableegh: 1. The founder of this group was raised in Soofism and gave two pledges of allegiance to it. 2. He used to remain for long periods of time at graves, waiting for inspirations and ideologies from their occupants. 3. He used to be the Jashtiyyah watchperson over the grave of 'Abdul-Quddoos al-Kankoohee who used to believe in the ideology of Wahdah al-Wujood. 4. The Jashtiyyah watchperson is someone who sits at a grave for half an hour every week with his head covered, making Dhikr with the phrase "Oh Allaah Who is present with me, Oh Allaah my guardian watcher." This phrase, or this action, if it were done for the sake of Allaah then it is a bid'ah. If it were done out of humbleness to the occupant of the grave, then it is committing Shirk with Allaah, and it is apparent that the second one is more likely. 5. The masjid, from which their da'wah began, has within it four of their graves. 6. The founder of this group believed in (the legitimacy of) inspirations (in legislative matters). 7. The founder of this group was superstitious and one who frequents graves innovatively. 8. The Tableeghee followers worship with an innovated principle in the manner of Soofism which is the splitting up of the meaning of the testimony of Tawheed: "Laa ilaaha illa Allaah." 9. Whoever breaks off the negation from the confirmation purposely, in that he says "Laa illaaha" (There is no god), then this amounts to disbelief. Shaykh Hamood at-Tuwayjiree mentioned that based upon statements of the scholars. 10. They allow the wearing of amulets that contain talismans and unintelligible names - perhaps the names of Shayaateen - and this is forbidden.

The Sayings of the Scholars on Jamaa'at ut-Tableegh: All Praise is for Allaah alone, and prayer and salutations upon the Messenger of Allaah and upon his family and companions and those who follow his guidance. As what follows/to proceed: Some papers reached me containing statements of the two Salafee Allaamahs� Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Shaykh Ibn al-�Uthaymeen which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh circulate amongst the ignorant and those who do not know the reality of their false manhaj and �aqeedah. And the reality is that the statements of the two Shaykhs supports them. So the statement of Shaykh Ibn Baaz is based upon a report from a Tableeghee man, or one who is sympathetic to them, which was narrated to Shaykh Ibn Baaz contrary to that which they are upon and depicted them contrary to their true nature, and confirms that which we say the statement of Shaykh Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah): "�and no doubt, certainly the people are in severe need of such good meetings gathering upon the remembrance of Allaah and inviting to holding steadfast to Islaam and applying it�s teachings and ridding the Tawheed (of Allaah) of (all) innovations and superstitions..." [see his fatwa, reference number 1007, dated 17/08/1407 A.H which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh now circulate]. So this (fatwa) suggests that the narrator mentioned in his report that certainly that this Jamaa�ah calls to holding steadfast to Islaam, applying it�s teachings and ridding the Tawheed (of Allaah) of (all) innovations and superstitions. So, as a result, the Shaykh has praised them. And if the narrator of the report spoke the truth and depicted them upon their reality and explained the truth of their false manhaj, then we would not have seen from Imaam Ibn Baaz, the Salafee, the monotheist, except impugnation towards them and warning against them and their innovations, as he had done in the last fatwa regarding them attached to this one (above). And in the statement of Allaamah Ibn al-�Uthaymeen as to that which supports them, refer to his statement as follows: "Remark: If the difference (of opinion) is in �aqeedah issues, then it is obligatory to correct (this) and that which opposes the way of the Salaf. For indeed, it is obligatory to detest it and warn those who tread (the path of) that which opposes the methodology of the Salaf in this aspect. [See Fataawa Ibn al-�Uthaymeen - Volume 2, Page 939-944, similar to that which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh distribute]. And no doubt the difference of opinion amongst the Salafees, the Ahlus-Sunnah wat-Tawheed and the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh is an extreme and profound difference in �aqeedah and manhaj. For they are upon the way of the Maatureediyyah, those who have innovated in the attributes of Allaah and who are from the Soofiyyah in their worship and manners, giving the oath of allegiance and from that, these sects uphold (the belief) in al-Hulool and Wahdatil-Wujood and shirk with the graves and other than that from (their) falsehood. And without a doubt the noble Shaykh Ibn al-�Uthaymeen does not know, and if he were to know this about them, then certainly he would have denounced them for the falsehood (upon which they are on) and would have severely warned against them. He would certainly have trodden the Salafee path with them just as both his Shaykhs, Imaam Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem and Imaam Ibn Baaz had done. And just as Shaykh al-Albaanee, Shaykh �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee, Shaykh Fowzaan, Shaykh Hamood at-Tuwayjaree, Shaykh Taqqee ad-Deen al-Hilaalee, Shaykh Sa�d al-Husayn, Shaykh Sayf ar-Rahmaan, Shaykh Muhammed Aslam had (all) done with their great publications, which clarified the falsehood of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and their danger and that which they are upon in their false �aqeedah and manhaj so the serious student of knowledge should refer to them. And Shaykh �Abdur-Rahmaan al-Misree reverted (back) from having written in praise of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and he admitted his mistakes to me. As for Yoosuf al-Malaahee, then he is amongst those who spent many years with them, then wrote a book about them which explained their falsehood and corrupt �aqeedah, then sadly he reverted back from the truth and then wrote another book about them. His first book assists him and that which the scholars of manhaj wrote about them refutes his falsehood; and the (most) important rule is (in the science of al-Jarh wat-Ta�deel) is that al-Jarh takes precedence over and above at-Ta�deel. So it nullifies all praise from anyone, even if the Tableeghees uphold the correct Islaamic rules (teachings) and trod the path of the people of knowledge and advice for Islaam and the Muslims. Written by Shaykh Rabee bin Haadee al-Madkhalee/ 29 Muharram � 1421 A.H The final fatwa of Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz in warning against the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh In the Name of Allaah, All Compassionate, All Merciful His excellency, Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz (rahima-hullaah) was asked about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, so the questioner asked: Your excellency, we hear about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and that which their da�wah entails. So would you advise me to join this Jamaa�ah (group). I anticipate your guidance and advice, and may Allaah reward you immensely. So the Shaykh responded by saying: Whoever invites to (the path of) Allaah, then he is a muballigh (one who conveys the message (of Islaam)), (as the hadeeth mentions): ((Convey from me, even if it be a (single) Aayah)); However, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh (originally) from India have many deviations. They have some aspects of bid�ah and shirk, so it is not permissible to go (out) with them, except for a person who has knowledge and goes (out) with them to disapprove of what they are upon and to teach them (the truth). If, however, he goes (out) to follow and adhere to them, then no. That is because they have deviations, mistakes and lack of knowledge. However, if there was a Jamaa�ah doing tableegh other than them, from the people of knowledge, then (it is permissible to) go out with them for daw�ah purposes. If there was a person of knowledge who goes out with them to enlighten and guide them, along with teaching them such that they leave their falsehood and embrace the way of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah, (then that is good). [So, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and those who sympathise with them, will benefit from this fatwa, illustrating the reality of their �aqeedah and Manhaj and the writings of their scholars whom they blindly follow] [This was extracted from the tape: �Fatwa Samaahatush-Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz concerning the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh� which was published in Ta�if about two years before the Sahykh�s death. The tape refutes the cover-up of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and the old statement of the Shaykh which was published before their reality and manhaj was made clear to him. The Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and the Ikhwaan are amongst the 72 sects His Excellency, Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (Rahima-ullaah) was asked: Question: May Allaah grant you the best (of His favours). In the hadeeth of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam), relating to the splitting of the Ummah, he says: ((�and my Ummah shall split into 72 sects�)). So, is the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, with what they have in terms of shirk and innovations; and also the Jamaa�ah al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen, with what they have in terms of partisanship and revolting/rebelling against the leaders and lack of obedience; from the 72 sects? So, he (the Shaykh) responded, may Allaah forgive him and bestow upon him His immense mercy: They are from the 72 (sects). Whoever opposes the �aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah enters the fold of the 72 (sects). The meaning of the Prophet�s (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) statement ((My Ummah)) is: the Ummah of Ijaabah, i.e. the Ummah of response; those who responded to the Prophet�s call and revealed their allegiance to him. And the meaning of 73 sects: the victorious sect which adhered to him and was upright in their religion and 72 of those sects � amongst them the kuffaar, the sinners and various innovators. So, the questioners asked: Are these two groups (Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and Jamaa�ah al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen) from amongst the 72 sects? He responded: Yes, they are from the amongst the 72 sects, along with the Murji�ah and other than them; the Murji�ah and the Khawaarij � some of the people of knowledge regard the Khawaarij from amongst the kuffaar, out of the fold of Islaam although amongst the 72 sects. [Taken from the recording of the Shaykh�s lessons in Sharh al-Muntaqaa in Ta�if approximately 2 years or less before his death]. The ruling regarding going out with the Jaam�ah at-Tableegh His excellency, Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) was asked: Question: "I went out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh to India and Pakistan. We used to congregate and pray in masaajid within which there were graves and I heard that the salaah in a masjid within which there is a grave is invalid. What is your opinion of my salaah and should I repeat them? What is the ruling about going out with them to these places?" Response: "Indeed, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh do not have real knowledge pertaining to issues of �aqeedah so it is not permissible to go out with them except for the one who has real knowledge of the correct �aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah. In this, he can enlighten them, advise them and co-operate with them in good because they are active in their affairs. However, they are in need of more knowledge from those who can enlighten them amongst the scholars of Tawheed and Sunnah. May Allaah grant everyone understanding of the religion and firmness upon it. As for the salaah in the masaajid within which are graves, then it is incorrect and it is obligatory upon you to repeat all that you did (in those masaajid) due to that which the Prophet (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) said: ((Allaah has cursed the Jews and the Christians who have taken the graves of their Prophets� as places of worship)) � it�s authenticity is agreed upon. Also, his (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) statement: ((Indeed those before you used to take the graves of their Prophets� and pious people as places of worship, so do not take the graves as places of worship, for certainly I prohibit you from that)), transmitted by Muslim in his Saheeh. And the ahaadeeth on this subject are numerous - and with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammed, his family and his companions." [Fatwa dated 2/11/1414 A.H] Regarding Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) statement: "Therefore, it is not permissible to go out with them except for the one who has knowledge and understanding of the correct �aqeedah upon which the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah are upon, such that he can enlighten them, advise them and co-operate with them in good." I say: May Allaah bestow mercy upon the Shaykh for if they had accepted the advice and guidance from the people of knowledge, then there would not be any harm in going out with them. However, the actual reality is that they do not accept advice, nor do they leave their falsehood for the severity of their allegiance and adhering to their desires. If they accepted the advice of the scholars, then they would have left their false manhaj and trodden the path of the Ahlut-Tawheed and Sunnah. If the matter is like that, then likewise it is not permissible to go out with them as the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih is built upon the Book and the Sunnah, warning against the people of bid�ah and against mixing and sitting with them. This is because in this (i.e. going out with them) is adding to their numbers and assisting and granting them strength in propogating their falsehood, and that is misleading (in the name of) Islaam and also misleading the Muslims and (ultimately) deceiving them (the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) and assisting them in sin and wrongdoing. Fatwa of the Noble Shaykh, Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem Aal-ash-Shaykh in warning against the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh From Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem to his excellency Prince Khaalid Ibn Sa�ood, leader of the Royal Court, as-Salaam �Alaykum wa-Rahmatullaahe wa-Barakaatuhu, to proceed: I received the noble correspondence of your excellency (No.36/4/5-D on 21/1/1382 A.H) and that which it contains of the request directed to his excellency, the king, from Muhammed Ibn �Abdul-Haamid al-Qaadiree, Shaah Ahmad Nooraanee, �Abdus-Salaam al-Qaadiree and Sa�ood Ahmad Dahlawee regarding their request for assistance in the project of their organisation which they have named (Kulliyyatud-Daw�ah wat-Tableegh al-Islaamiyyah) - and also the pamphlets that have been enclosed with their request. I inform your excellency that there is no good in this organisation for certainly it is an organisation of innovation and falsehood which I have discovered by reading their pamphlets which were attached to their requests. We found it to comprise of falsehood, innovation and the inviting to the worshipping of graves and shirk. Quite simply, something which (we) cannot remain quiet about. Therefore, we shall (inshaa-Allaah) put forward a refutation revealing their misguidance and falsehood. We ask Allaah to assist his religion and make high His Word, was-Salaam �Alaykum wa-Rahmatullaahe wa-Barakaatuhu [S-M-405 on 29/1/1382 A.H]. Fatwa of the Noble Shaykh Muhammed Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee regarding the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh He (rahima-hullaah) was asked: "What is your opinion concerning the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh? Is it permissible for a student of knowledge or other than him to go out with them under the guise of inviting to (the path of) Allaah?" So he responded: The Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh does not uphold the manhaj of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa sallam) and that which our Salaf as-Saalih were upon. And if the situation was such, then it is not permissible to go out with them because it defies our manhaj in calling to the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih. So in the path of inviting to Allaah, then an �aalim (one who is knowledgeable) can go out with them but as for those (ignorant � without knowledge) who go out with them, then it is obligatory upon them to remain in their countries and (study Islaam) seek knowledge in their masaajid until there graduates from amongst them people of knowledge who hold study circles inviting to the path of Allaah. As long as the situation is like that, it is upon the student of knowledge to invite these people (those from Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) to study the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah and invite people to it. And the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, with respect to da�wah to the Book and the Sunnah, do not intend by it a starting point, rather they consider that to be a divided call (da�wah)/approach; And because of this, they most resemble the Jamaa�ah of al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen. They say their da�wah is based upon the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah, however this is mere idle talk for certainly they have no �aqeedah upon which they are united (which unites them) � so you find some are Maatureedee, others are Ash�aree, whilst others are Soofee and even some who have no madhhab (affiliation to any particular ideology). This is because their da�wah is built upon amassing (the people), then gathering together and culturising/instructing them, and in reality they do not really have any culture. More than half a century has passed and there has not appeared from amongst them a scholar. As for us, then we say instruct them, then gather together, such that the gathering together is based upon a foundation in which there is no doubt. So the da�wah of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh is that of the Soofiyyah, they call to good manners, as for correcting the differing �aqeedah of the group, then they do not exert themselves one iota. This is because they believe this will cause differences (and splitting apart). It came to pass that a brother, Sa�d al-Husayn had much correspondence with the leader of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh in India or Pakistan and it became clear from that they acknowledge (belief in) intercession and seeking help (from other than Allaah) and many other such things. And they require their people (members) to make bay�ah (oath of allegiance) based upon four issues: amongst them the Naqshbandiyyah methodology. So it is upon every tableeghee (one who ascribes to the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) to make bay�ah of these fundamentals (issues). A questioner may ask: Indeed this group has corrected its faults (returned to Allaah) as a result of the efforts of many individuals and quite possibly many non-Muslims have accepted Islaam at their hands. Is this not sufficient (proof) for the permissibilty of going out with them and participating in that which they call to? So we say: Indeed we know these words and hear them a lot and know them to emanate from the Soofiyyah! For example, there is a Shaykh whose �aqeedah is incorrect and does not know anything about the Sunnah. Instead they deceitfully take from the wealth of the people, so together with this, many open sinners seek forgiveness from them! So every group which invites to good, then it is imperative they should be in adherence (to the Qur.aan and the Sunnah), and (this) our approach is pure, so what are they (others) calling to? Are they calling to adherence to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa sallam) and the ;aqeedah of the Salaf as-Saalih, abandoning blind following of the madhhabs to such an extent that they adhere to the Sunnah over and above their madhhab!? So the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh do not have a knowledge-based (manhaj), rather, their manhaj is according to the place where they are to be found, so they change their "colours" to suit themselves. [al-Fataawa al-Imaaraatiyyah of al-Albaanee]. Fatwa of the noble Shaykh, �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee regarding the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh The Shaykh was asked regarding going out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh to remind the people of the Greatness of Allaah. So the Shaykh said: That which is the case, is that they are innovators and those who adhere to the manhaj of the Qadariyyah and other than them and their going out is not (regarded as) in the Path of Allaah, rather it is in the path of Illiyaas. They do not invite to the Book (of Allaah) and nor the Sunnah, rather they invite to Illiyaas, their Shaykh in Bangladesh. As for going out with them with the intention to invite to the path of Allaah, then that is (regarded as) going out in the path of Allaah but not that which is going out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh. And I know of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh from a long time and they are innovators wherever they may be; Egypt, Israel, America, Saudi Arabia and all of them attach themselves to their Shaykh Illiyaas. [Fataawa wa Rasaa.il Samaahhtu �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee, Volume 1, Page 174]. Fatwa Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan The noble Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan was asked: Question: What is your opinion concerning those who travel outside the Kingdom to give da�wah whilst they have never studied/sought knowledge. They encourage this and make odd statements firmly believing that whoever goes out in the path of Allaah for da�wah then Allaah will assist them with "inspirations/revelations" and they also believe that having knowledge is not a condition to do so. And you know that one who travels outside the Kingdom will find differing madhaahib and religions/sects with questions which shall be posed to the one giving da�wah. Is it not your opinion, O Shaykh, regarding the one who travels (outside the Kingdom) in the path of Allaah, that he should be appropriately equipped so that he can face the people, and especially in East Asia where they are actively against the da�wah of Shaykh Muhammed Ibn �Abdul-Wahhaab? I request an answer to my question such that benefit can be gained. Response: Going out in the path of Allaah is not the sort of going out which is implied today. Going out in the path of Allaah (really means) going out for war. As for that which they call going out nowadays, then this is an innovation which is not mentioned on the authority of any of the Salaf. And going out calling to Allaah is not specific to any particular day(s) rather one should call to Allaah according to circumstances and abilities, without specifying a group (with which to go out with) nor 40 days or more or less. And similarly from that which is obligatory upon the caller is to have knowledge. It is not permissible to call to Allaah whilst one is ignorant (lacking knowledge). Allaah (Subhaanahu wa-Ta'Aala) says: {Say: This is my way, I invite to Allaah with sure knowledge�}, [Soorah Yoosuf, Aayah 108]. i.e. upon (sound) knowledge, because it is imperative the caller knows what he is calling to from that which is: waajib (obligatory), mustahab (recommended), muharram (impermissible) and makrooh (disliked) and also knows what is shirk, sinning, kufr (disbelief), fisq (open sinning) and knows the (different) levels and the manner in which to forbid and discourage. And going out whilst one is busy seeking knowledge is not befitting because seeking knowledge is an obligation and is not achieved except by learning/studying and this is from the evil and ignorant ways of the misguided Soofees because any action without knowledge leads to misguidance.

As salaam ale kum, There is no other deene work which can bring the innersatisfaction and ignite the flames of imaan. A must for all the momins. The goals of the work is to be considered and not the people. If you see the wrongside of the tableege people you are the one who will be left behind. My request to all the muslim brothers out there the only work what allah (swt) wants from the muslim is the dawa work which allah swt has started in this century too. We all have to revert back and make the same imaan of the sahabas had as they are successful in this world and in the world hereafter. As a very wrong image has been labeled to every muslim its a must and compulsory for every momin to go on tabligh. Before its too late make your move for one night, 3 days, 40 days 4months, 1 year as much as time you can dedicate. Inshallah you will be rewarded.

Dear Muslims, I must admit that I am not a mu'min but a by born muslim. My knowledge about Islam is a matter for joke.But u guyes seems to me more distressful rather than me. Some of my friend has qouted from the life of Hazrat Muhammad (SM) that HE had called people of Mekkah and Madina And the whole world for TAWHID. I must admit that. But after Biday Hajj( Last Hajj) He had declared Islam as a full religion. During his first phase of Islam he preached for TAWHEED because at that time it had to establish. But after converting them what he did. He told his FOLLOWERS to maintain all the rules of islam and if he found any mistakes upon then, he corrected them and also told others to do that if he knew that surely. Dont forget that he had told others not to beleive in tawheed as well salat and jakat.And in this way Islam has spreaded.My intension is not to oppose against the dawah of Tawheed but aginst them who are saying that we have to stick ourselves only in tawhid and who are not they are wrong/kufr( Nausubillah min jalik). It seems to me like that a general who is admitting soldiers for his army by only teaching them how to hold the grip of a sword properly. After admitting 1,00,00,000 soldiers having this knowledge he wants to consider his army as the greatest and mightest army of this world. But my friends, an army of having 10 skilled soldiers can defeat them. So what we need? We need proper trainning as well recruiting. Only recruiting can't make u invincible. And I think with their immense effort as well limited resources this tablig jamat is doing all of our upheld job. And I would like to say that dont tell others so easily kafir because only Allah Subhanatallah knows well who is correct and who is wrong. Pls try to respect their effort and strong will to islam and if you think they are wrong then at least try to respect their positiveness as well give them guidance if you know better than them. talatmd78@yahoo.com

Ok here is one problem with the belief of salafees that you have qualified people who can look at the rulings of the 4 imams and then make judgements as to whether one of them is correct or in this case your scholars have concluded that none of them are correct. How did Salat Al-Taraweeh begin: Once in Ramadan, The Prophet (saw) came out of his home and led salat-Al-Taraweeh. The Sahabah (ra) who were present at the time prayed behind him in congregation. The second and third nights, a larger number of Sahabah (ra) came and performed Salat Al-Taraweeh behind the Prophet (saw). On the fourth night an even larger number of Sahabah (ra) showed up in the Masjid expecting to pray this "new salat" behind the Prophet (saw). But he did not come out to lead Salat Al-Taraweeh that night. The Sahabah ra) waited all night. When the Prophet (saw) finally emerged for the fajr prayer he told them: "I knew you were waiting for me, but I did not come out to lead Salat Al-Taraweeh last night because was afraid it might become an obligation (fardh) on the Ummah which they might find difficult to fulfill." (Sahih Bukhari 872, Sahih Muslim 1271, Abu Dawood 1166) How many Raka'at did the Prophet (saw) perform those 3 nights? During his reign, Umar (ra) once went to the Masjid in the month of Ramadan and noticed that people were performing Salat-Al-Taraweeh in small congregations. He said to the sahabah (ra), "Now that we don't have the fear that Salat Al-Taraweeh will become Fard upon us, we can start performing it in congregation." Umar (ra) then asked Ubaiy Ibn Ka'ab (ra) to lead the Salat Al-Taraweeh - 20 raka'at followed by 3 raka'at Witr (Sahih Bukhari) The Sahabah (ra) welcomed Umar's direction and none of them objected to this move. All of the Sahabah (ra) including Uthman (ra), Ali (ra) and note very clearly (Aisha (ra), Salmah (ra) and Safiyyah (ra) agreed with Umar (ra) and all performed 23 raka'at every night in congregation in Ramadan, 20 raka'at Taraweeh and 3 raka'at Witr. This is the clear Ijma (consensus) of the Sahabah (ra) that Taraweeh is 20 raka'at. Further Proofs Al-Saaib Bin Yaazid (ra) narrated that we used to offer 20 rak'at followed by Witr in the reign of Umar (ra) and Uthman (ra). (Sunan Al Baihaqi, Vol 2, p. 496) Hafiz Ibn Hajr the great muhaddith and well known for his commentary on Sahih Bukhari has reported in his book Al-Talkhees Al-Habeer, on the authority of Aisha (ra) that the Prophet (saw) performed 20 raka'at on those 3 nights. (Al-Talkhees Al-Habeer, Hadith 540). He re-emphaisies this opinion in Fath Al-Bari, vol 4, p 219). By the way these 2 books of this great Muhaddith are quoted by salafis quite a lot except these pages obviously. Ibn Abbas (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) used to pray 20 raka'at by himself followed by 3 raka'at Witr (every night) in the month of Ramadan. (Sunan Al-Baihaqi, Hadith 12,102) In the famous book of Hanbali Fiqh, Raudh Al-Riyadh it is stated that Salat Al-Taraweh is Sunnah Muakkadah and consists of 20 rak'at based on the hadith mentioned by Abdullah Ibn Abbas (ra) that the Prophet (saw) used to offer 20 raka'at**** 8212 help no one answered tha question!!!

giving dawah is every muslims responsibilty but it can be given in different methods.there can be the brother that commits himself to bringing people into islam by going door to door or travelling,a husband or son can sit under the ulema and learn from our scholars and give dawah to his own family when in there company or keep them on a firm on the path by educating them.A person can give dawah by simply sitting at work in the company of collegues by speaking about islam and by just practicing your islam consistently can be dawah as people will start to take interest in how committed they see you are.we must remember we have moved with the times and we have to equip ourself with knowledge of how we can apply our bounty of the tongue to each situation we come across.So yes to give dawah does not mean you have to belong to a certain group but just means being a muslim and following allahs commands is dawah on its own.

Dear Brothers I have seen many jamaats with close contact and some with birds eye view. It is said that there will be only one Firqa in islam that will be on true path. No body knows which one will that be. According to the teachings and role of Sahaba. I think Tableeg is the key to the success because no wonder it is best for one who practices it and one for whome it is practiced for, either that can be a Muslim or non muslim. Unfortunatly most of the web pages are full of hatred, envious thoughts and baseless concept/knowledge for Tableegi Jamaat. There are even fatwas against this jamat. For example many Sheiukh are asked about Tableegi Jamaat by unknown person who is asking questions about the steps of what Tableegi Jammat people are doing. I dont think so that anyone who havent came close to someone can answer even ask questions from third person. The teachings of tablegee jammat are simple i.e bring the people showing the true paths and benifits of the true path with love and assistance. Once a person gains knowledge about benifits he will practice the Aamal and when he practice aamal he might face difficulties and can/ must ask Sheikh or Aalim that is practicing his knowldge only not the one who is keeping it. About Fazail i Aamal the purpose of this book is to give refernce to the fruit/ benifits of the work/ aamal one practices. I think it is a good book to start with not just to end at. After Fazail i Aamal there are many other books Fazail i Sadaqat, Hayat ul Sahaba and endless ocean of knowledge. The book Fazil i Aamal is the basic in which only the Fazail (The Fruit or benifits on success) is given. Humans are different in nature. Some like to practice before they can see the outcome some wish to see before thay can start thinking. I think Fazail i Aamall is the appropriate book to start for a person who havent practiced any thing on the teachins of islam. About those limited time periods 3 days and others they are just to take attention one can give to his own belief. Again the word practice arises, how much a person can work on what he knows. I think it is a good idea to observe and gain knowledege as well as fortify ones belief in his/her Deen. In the end from my prespective Tableege jamaat is only one Jamaat/ Strong pillar in this age, that have a goal related with success for Human beings not any goals toward Politics, Financial support or any thing in the world. Where rest are just running and concentrating toward endless tastes of this world. I see people with faces full of noor sometimes and with my experience 60% of these people are or have relation with this jammat.

They will simply ignore the reality the truth of hardness of the lives the followers of this jamat face in elevation of the true concept of islam. I see people with faces full of noor sometimes and with my experience 60% of these people are or have relation with this jammat.May allah bless the people who work hard give up their families in the way of preserving islam.

Dear Brothers & Sisters, Assalam-alaikum w.r.b. Alhamdulillah Tabligh Movement is doing a laudable work as far as Islah and tarbiyah of Ummat-e-Muslimah is concerned.But the real problem is that they make this work synonymous with the dawa'h& call themselves the real daee's although they have confined thier activities to the Muslim Ummah.Islam is not just the another traditional religion, it's the way of life and its appeal is universal.The Islah & Tarbiyah of Ummat-e-Muslimah is essential, equally important is to save the humanity from the Sins of the Shirk & Bidaats and invite them to the fold of Tauheed.This was the mission of the Prophets and Nabi-e-Kareem(SAS).This is the real Daawa'hHowever contrary to this the Tabligh Jamaat had restricted itself to its confined ideology and the teachings of Buzurgaan-e-deen.Any activity outside the radius of Tablighi Nisaab is considered to be Un-islamic and strictly forbidden.This should definately change and we should accept & follow the Islamic Teachings in totality and not just the parts of it according to our liking. May Allah guide us all.

asak muslim brothers and sisters, how can 1 even ask such a question. this was the way shown to us by our beloved prophet muhammed (saw)tabligh jamaat is propagating islam which is compulsary on every one of us the way salaah has been made compulsary. to all of the critics who regard the work of tabligh a 'waste of time' or criticise the work done by the servants of Allah, may all mighty Allah through his infinite mercy grant your sahih hidayat and open your eyes to the truth.We claim to love Allah and his prophet (saw) but we are opposing the quran and the sunnah of our beloved prophet (saw. clearly in the quran is stated that we are to enjoin good and forbid evil i.e tabligh jamaat. oh yes and to answer the qs it is totally in accordance to shariah. please my fellow Muslims take the time out and re read all the comments made by those in favour of tabligh you will clearly see the truth insha allah. all those who oppose it have no ground to stand on so they call it bida, shirk and brand the tabligh workers as evil men. surely no one is perfect but whose words can be better than the one who calls upon the oneness of Allah. the ones who are against tabligh will achieve nothing but the displeasure of Allah. is that how we want to live and die? may Allah (swt) through his infinite grace forgive us all and grant us all hidayat amen wa asak.

Fatwa of Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fowzaan regarding the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegi Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou! Question: What is your opinion concerning those who travel outside the Kingdom to give da'wah whilst they have never studied/sought knowledge. They encourage this and make odd statements firmly believing that whoever goes out in the path of Allaah for da'wah then Allaah will assist them with "inspirations/revelations" and they also believe that having knowledge is not a condition to do so. And you know that one who travels outside the Kingdom will find differing madhhaahib and religions/sects with questions which shall be posed to the one giving da'wah. Is it not your opinion, O Shaykh, regarding the one who travels (outside the Kingdom) in the path of Allaah, that he should be appropriately equipped so that he can face the people, and especially in East Asia where they are actively against the da'wah of Shaykh Muhammed Ibn 'Abdul-Wahhaab? I request an answer to my question such that benefit can be gained. Response: Going out in the path of Allaah is not the sort of going out which is implied today. Going out in the path of Allaah (really means) going out for war. As for that which they call going out nowadays, then this is an innovation which is not mentioned on the authority of any of the Pious Predecessors. And going out calling to Allaah is not specific to any particular day(s) rather one should call to Allaah according to circumstances and abilities, without specifying a group (with which to go out with) nor 40 days or more or less. And similarly from that which is obligatory upon the caller is to have knowledge. It is not permissible to call to Allaah whilst one is ignorant (lacking knowledge). Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says: {Say: This is my way, I invite to Allaah with sure knowledge�}, [Soorah Yoosuf, Aayah 108]. i.e. upon (sound) knowledge, because it is imperative the caller knows what he is calling to from that which is: waajib, mustahab (recommended), muharram (impermissible) and makrooh and also knows what is shirk, sinning, kufr, fisq (open sinning) and knows the (different) levels and the manner in which to forbid and discourage. And going out whilst one is busy seeking knowledge is not befitting because seeking knowledge is an obligation and is not achieved except by learning/studying and this is from the evil and ignorant ways of the misguided Soofees because any action without knowledge leads to misguidance.

A�kum, The A for the Q is YES!. There is no such praying movement, fasting movement etc in Islamic world. Why?�because they are the amaal of islam. And this is so for T. There is no T movement. T is an amaal of islam. The amaal that is so far and disappearing from every muslim�s heart and lives.. Until they become so weird of it and start questioning it and debating on it on and on! We muslims have been living ununited for so long that we no more realize that the muslim as a whole is a movement, not separated by mazhab, institutions, parties, nationalities etc. We have been living in the so called �institutional� world. We have been made to believe that everything must be constituted, formalized! There must be a chairman, there must be a president, there must be committee members, there must be members with forms to be filled in together with fees to be paid�etc. then only things will work out! Free yourself from this kind of thinking! Islam came to free our mind and actions! Islam teach us to be independent! Once you recite shahadah, you are already a �member� of T. Islam is your uniform, and T is your work for being in Islam! Once Abu Bakr r.a recite the shahadah, he ask the prophet pbuh, what is my job? The prophet replied, my job is your job! And from that point of time Abu Bakr ra began spreading the words of islam untill he got beaten unconciuos! And believe me�those are among the first step that islam ever reach you and me! And now, what are we doing?�questioning the work of da�wat? Questioning why is it 3 days, 40 days�When a doctor prescribe us to take certain medicine for certain period of time�hardly people will question it! But when ulama� prescribe something for the learning and teaching of deen�not only easily, but proudly we will question them! Islam does not spread through preaching�Islam spread through sacrifices of the ummah� learn, practice and propagate to others�Preaching people towards islam is like trying to explain how sweet an orange is, asking people to practice islam, how small it is, is like giving a small portion of orange for he himself to taste and feel it!�.my advise as your muslim brother in Malaysia�.go forward, with right intention to rectify yourself, Allah will insyaAllah give you toufiq in understanding islam.

How could someone say tabligh jamaat is bad when they do this for me and manny brothers? ALHAMDULLILAH that there are brothers that go out in the path of Allah to spread Islam and to call people back to it. I am going to go with tabligh jamaat for 40 days soon and SUBHAN aLLAH i can't even think of how great my iman will be then.

With Allah's will, after going out for 3 days for several times, this my first year where had never miss 5 times prayer after living in this world for 33 years. Going out for jamaat tabligh (with god's will) had certainly improve the quality of my deen, such as makes me rely more on Allah than anything else in this world.I really feel that all my other friends should go and do this effort with the intention to improve themselves. I had always prayed to Allah to show me and strengten my heart that this the correct effort so I can commit my whole life into it Insyaallah.

Assalamu Alaikum ive been reading these mails with great interest and quite stunned by some, alhamdulillah i myself have just returned from Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh was amazing when you see brothers carrying out the effort in poverty and the sincerity they have and it really breaks your heart that in the west allah has given us such blessings bu still we take them for granted. also spent time with brothers who came from palestine and they gave us amazing stories about how they seen help of Allah due to the effort of deen the Ameer of Gaza was also their. we met sheik Muzamil who is a mukeem of Kakrail maraz and himself met sheik bin baz on many occasions and said he got positive response from him. Pakistan was amazing also, brothers from over 90 countries all come out for one purpose and talking about Allahs greatness and the simplicity in peoples lives and the sacrifice some brothers are giving for the deen of Allah today. Those who knock the effort should go out with an open neutral heart instead of criticising what they seen with their own eyes. if that was the case then its not surprising that the whole world is out for the muslims after looking at their actions. Islam is true but ppl will always be ppl look at the deen not the ppl. in same way look at the usools of the effort not the ppl. ppl will ALWAYS have faults in them. duas everyone inshaAllah

For all those who question the work of tabligh: The purpose of Tabligh is make people realize their objective and mission on earth which is to follow the commandments of Allah and the teachings of Prophet Mohammed(swas). Mashallah, most people posting on this forum pray 5 times a day, obey their parents, allot all their extra time in dhikr and spend nights praying tahajjud i take it since everybody is so zealous about protecting their iman by posting their opinion either for or against the work of Tabligh. None of us, including I, can honestly say that we are instantly going to Jannah because we are on the righteously perfect praticing muslims. A muslims is he who has perfected the tie between him and his Creator. He prays two raka'atsnafl, raises his hands, asks from his Sustainer and receives it instantly. Such was the case of the Sahabah, who were normal human beings, had perfected their Iman. Yet they were uncertain of their fate in the hereafter. Where do you, the forum posters and I stand ? The Sahabahs wouldn't call us Muslims. The condition of this Ummat as of now is deteriorating, Fitnah is escalating and widespread and there are many muslims homes around where salah does not exist, people have absolutely no fear of Allah, or are making no effort to structure and prepare for Qiyammah. The television has become common in every household becoming a means of importing unislamic values that our youth are cherishing, praticing instead of Sunnah of RasoolAllah. Tabligh is an effort to create a society and environment so it becomes easy for people to practice every aspect of Islam. It is the DAWA of: 1.tawheed and Sunnah, 2.Salat, 3.seeking knowledge of deen, devoting time to Dhikr of Allah, 4.Honoring Muslims, the rights of others 5.Ikhlaas 6.Dawa It has nothing to do with the grave worshipping which is shirk. It does not call people towards the Mohammed Ilyaas the person who himself indulged in Dawa, who himself preeched tawheed and the significance of deen in our everyday life. It is not a political movement to gain power nor does it force its principles by unharmonious Islamic means. Millions Muslim worldwide are now beaming with the noor of salat and adhkaar for and of Allah subhanawatala and muslims are turing to Allah to resolve or fullfil their needs by the blessing generated by the effort of Tabligh. Most Tablighees pray and cry the night in dua asking ALLAH to guide them and this Ummat on the correct path. Praising Allah and promoting deen by signifying the importance of iman is not Bidah. Give the dawat of Islam to non-muslims and present the dawat of IMAN to practising muslims. Alas one verse from the Quran that justifies everything i have said and the reason we shouldn't differentiate with those brother who are the muballegheen (Tabligh brothers): SURAH ANFAL verse 74: 'Those who believe, and emigrate, and fight for the faith, in the case of Allah, as well as those who give them asylum and aid, these are (all) in very truth the believers: for them us the forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous.'

Assalamualaikum wbt my dear muslim brothers. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Allah swt has sent us all to be the Khalifah of ALLAH swt. to do good to the earth and be good to others. We are all followers of the Prophet Muhammad saw. the last ummah till the day of judgement. And Allah says HE created us for us to obey and please HIM and that is no other work that will pleases ALLAH then to bring others to ALLAH. And there is no other word bigger then La Ila Haill ALLAH that is speak to others and tell others about the bigness of ALLAH. swt. This is actually the maksood the purpose of us being created. to do dakwah.. and not be and engineers, doctors, etc. ALLAH have never said, " you AHMED will be sent to this world as a Lawyer.." but truly as a Khalifah We are the Vice of the Prophet saw. what the Prophet does we folow. no question ask. if the Prophet who is ma'sum guaranteed of jannah have to go thru many sufferings and hardships to help the ummah, then what are we..? is it fair for us to just sit, talk and fight amongst each other... and then ALLAH gives us Jannah..? think about it JANNAH will not come easy. We have to follow the steps of the Prophet saw.. from door to door, house to house and meet people and bring to them the Kalimah of Iman And If we don't do this work of dakwah the way how Rasulullah saw teaches us, then we are not fit to be in Jannah. we have to suffer like how the Rasulullah and the sahaba suffers and through this sufferings only ALLAH be please ALLAH swt and only then ALLAH help will come. the more we sacrifice the more ALLAH will love us..

THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS: The Jamaat claims that it is a Sunnah of the Prophets and the Sahaba and, on the other hands, it says that Molvi Ilyas is the founder of this movement. The questions we ask, are:- 1. If, in reality, this is a Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as claimed, then it must be proven by authentic Islamic books that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his Sahaba also used to form Jamaats and do Ghast and Tableegh of Kalimah and Namaaz amongst Muslims. 2. Why was this Sunnah ignored for 1 419 years? Do we classify all the past spiritual luminaries as anti-Sunnah? 3. If this is a Sunnah practice, then surely Molvi Ilyas cannot be its founder. But, if he is the founder, then obviously this type of Tableegh did not exist before him. It is a Bid'ah! It is the religious duty of the members of Tableeghi Jamaat to clarify the position with their Tableegh work and deceiving the Muslim community. The answers are obvious. This is a new movement founded by a Molvi Ilyas and definitely not a Sunnah. THE AQEEDA OF THE TABLEEGHI JAMAAT To have good and strong Imaan, one must have the proper Aqeeda. It is for this reason that we quote a few un-Islamic beliefs of the leaders of the Tableeghi Jamaat together with the proper Islamic answers. The present Molvis and devotees of the T. Jamaat refuse to condemn the persons who wrote such bad beliefs and to even disassociate themesleves from such false beliefs. The un-Islamic beliefs which we have quoted below are quotations from those individuals who possess such beliefs and by writing them in this handbill, we have no intention of Kufr. FALSE BELIEF 1: "Allah can speak lies". ("Barahine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambetwi; "Yakrozi" by Ismaeel Dehlwi; "Fatawa Rasheedia" by Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi). ANSWER: Lies is a defect which is not worthy of the Zaat of Almighty Allah and is totally Muhaal (Impossible) for Almighty Allah. Allah is free from all shortages and defects thus making lies Muhaal for Almighty Allah. FALSE BELIEF 2: "The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had died and is mixed in the sand." ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: It has been stated in the Hadith: "Verily, Almighty Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to eat the bodies of the Ambiya". It has also been stated that Ambiya are alive and are blessed with Sustenance from Almighty Allah. FALSE BELIEF 3: "Every creation, no matter how big or small, is equivalent to a cobbler before Allah." ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the most beloved Nabi of Almighty Allah. Almighty Allah took Qasm (Oath) even on the city of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He is the greatest of the creations of Almighty Allah. His every word is accepted in the Court of Allah. He is a perfection in the Attributes of Almighty Allah and Allah has not created any unique being besides Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). FALSE BELIEF 4: "To think of an ox and donkey in Salaah is permissible, but to think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Salaah is Shirk (Polytheism)." ("Seerate Mustaqeem" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: For a Muslim to perform any Ibaadat accepting that it is a noble action of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the true sense of Ibaadat. If one reads Namaaz thinking of it as the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then, without doubt, one will think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This belief creates in the mind of the performer the thought of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Not only is the thought of the Prophet in Namaaz permissible, it is also the demand of Shari'ah that one must remember the Holy Prophet (salall laahu alaihi wasallam) at the time of Tasha'hud. According to the Fuqaha (Jurists) it is Waajib to believe that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is observing you and that he is aware of your actions. FALSE BELIEF 5: Any person who says the Nabi to be Haazir and Naazir is a Kaafir. ("Jawaahirul Quraan" by Ghulaamullah Khan). ANSWER: Until and unless we do not accept Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as being Haazir and Naazir, the concept of Risaalat will be incomplete. Our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Shaahid, Mubashir and Nazeer. FALSE BELIEF 6: To commemorate the Meelad is like commemorating the function of the Hindu deity. ("Baharine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambethwi). ANSWER: Meelad is a means of gaining blessings and closeness to Almighty Allah. It is the practice of all the great predecessors. Many sources of Shari'ah are available to prove it's authencity. In fact, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) observed fast on Monday as he was born on a Monday. FALSE BELIEF 7: If Allah wills, then he may create a million Muhammads. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan") A Prophet can even come after Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). ("Tahzeerun Naas") ANSWER: The doors of Prophethood have been sealed. Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the Seal of Prophethood. The Prophet also said that no Prophet shall come after him. Any person who claims Nabuwat after the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a Liar, Dajjal Kazaab and a Shaitaan. FALSE BELIEF 8: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" (Mercy unto the Worlds) is not a special title of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), but the Ummati are also "Rahmatul Lil Alameen". ("Fatawa Rasheedia") ANSWER: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" is the unique quality of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as stated in the Holy Quran. Note: To believe all these above mentioned false "Islamic" beliefs makes one a hypocrite, and one is included in the ranks of the Shia, Rafazi, Khaarijite, Qadiani, Ghair-Muqallid (Ahle Hadith), Tabligi, Deobandi, Maudoodi, Ahle Quran (People of Quran), etc. which are totally out of Islam. Any person who falsely claims to be the true Mahdi is misguided and a Faasiq. Any person who says that Allah can lie, that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge are like those of animals, that the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not the Final Messenger, that the swearing of the Sahaba does not make one a criminal, that the Prophet's knowledge is less than Shaitaan, etc. IS A KAAFIR (totally out of the folds of Islam). We should not perform Salaah or associate with such persons as their companionship is detrimental to our Imaan. IN CONCLUSION: The members of Tableeghi Jamaat have become extremely unpopular with many communities of Muslims throughout the world and even in South Africa. However, many continue to tolerate them. In fact, what they do, in the manner of Christian evangelists, is to play on the guilt of insecure people and then offer them an emotional environment in which they can redeem themselves and find others in a similar plight who are ready for the same treatment. Such "conversions" are frequently very superficial and sometimes superficially quite dangerous for the individuals concerned. As we have seen, the ludicrous claim is made that the programme of the Tableeghi Jamaat comprises in every respect the way followed by the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his Companions (radia'llahu 'anhum ajma'een), in their establishment of Islam. In fact, the opposite is true. From its inception, the programme of the Tableeghi Jamaat was designed, while giving the appearance of Islamic activity, to leave in place the very Kaafir forces whose explicit intention was precisely the prevention of the establishment of Islam in any real way. In the light of all the foregoing: 1. We declare that the Tableeghi Jamaat is, by its own admission, a deviant sect of Islam and that it is being used by the enemies of Islam to help them in their continuing battle to prevent governance by the laws of Allah from being re-established in the world. 2. We therefore call on the leadership of the Tableeghi Jamaat to acknowledge that they are directly responsible for the misguidance of millions of Muslims and to abandon their present programme which only furthers the interest of the enemies of Allah. 3. We therefore call on all members of the Tableeghi Jamaat to reject the subversive role they have been unwittingly persuaded to play and leave this sect which is being used by the enemies of Islam to prevent Allah's Deen being restored and governance by His Laws re-established. 4. We therefore call on all Muslims to disown the Tableeghi Jamaat and to discourage its activities by refusing to give its members permission to sleep in mosques and to use them for their activities. And we call on all Muslims to reject the modernist perspective of Islam that they have been given to and respond to Allah and His Messenger (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) by giving their wealth and lives to see the totality of Islam once again re-established on the earth.

Tabligh dawa has changed my life, i was in the dark although educated and inteligent as my collegues usually refers, i don't do everything as the teachings of islam commands thou a muslim, i was a muslim only by name. Now that I have started going in the part of Allah, I have not only been reformed but I have been able to touch lives too. I call people to the part of Allah, I find it very easy to talk to anybody about islam be you who. Aishah (Radhiallaho Anha) says Once the Nabi (Sallallaho Alaihi wasallam) entered the house and I guessed from his face that something of great importance had occurred. He did not talk to any one and after making Wudoo (ablution) he entered the Masjid. I stood behind the wall to hear what he said O Muslims! Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) has commanded you to call people to good deeds and prevent them from committing sins, otherwise a time will come when you will make Dua to Him, but He will not listen to you, you will ask your needs of Him, but He will not grant them, you will demand His help against your enemies, but He will not help you. After saying this, He (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) came down from the mimbar.After saying this, He (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) came down from the mimbar. Note: Particularly those persons should consider this Hadith carefully who want to fight the enemies of Islam, but neglect the performance of the requisites of Islam, they forget that the strength and stability of the Muslim Ummah depends upon the propagation of Islam. please punder on this and act fast before the angel of death comes to you

My dear brothers and sisters Assalam-o-Alaikum w.r.a If the matter is seriously asked by the questioner and he wants his/her Islah then I would like to clear that a few question arise here that: a)if the Tabligh is not the solution of the people then what is that for which all the Rasools and Nabis were sent? Did they not preach for the whole life to people for worshipping One and Only God? b)What the Holy Prophet (S.W.) did in his all life and what did Abu Bakr Siddique R.A. after accepting Islam? Did he not brought four Great Converts to Islam. c)Why this Ummah has been given so importance in the holy Quran that Hazrat Moosa asked The Mighty to give this Ummah to him but was refused? Due to this work that After Holy Prophet there would not come any Nabi and the wrok of spreading Deen would be made by this Ummah. d) Did the Holy Prophet (S.W.) not ask the Sahabas in his last sermon to convey his message to the absentees and after listening this Sahaba went all over the world and preached Islam that their graves are found all over the world. The objection is that one should preach Islam to only Kafirs not to muslims. Here the Question arises that is it Islam to only say Kalima by tounge not but by heart and did Sahaba not learnt the shareeh from the Holy prophet (S.W.). Do you know the present condition of muslims they dont know even the meaning of Kalima and way of Wadhu and ghusal how blindly they are chasing after the ways of Yahud and nasara .Is the tableegh still not necessary to save the Ummah from this fire of Bay dini. My dear brother and sisters it should be very clear that the salvation of this ummah is only in tableegh as said in the Holy Quran that you are the best Ummah who have been sent for the better of people.

As salaamu alaikum brothers and sisters in Islam, I have lived near my masjid, considered to the be central point of tabligh in North America, for about 10 years. I have observed them make their calls for people to "come out into the path of Allah". Just to say, I have never been on one of these trips or so but my father has and so have my muslim friends, so I will try to present an objective assessment of the Taligh Jamats. while i am no scholar, i think to assess what the what the tabligh jamat does is somewhat good and somewhat bad. Good? How? Well first, if ur serious about studying Islam and want to be considered a scholar, Tabligh is not for you at all because taligh movement is looking to target muslims "in name only", meaning people who do not know anything or are not practing Islam at ALL. In the mentioned webiste essay, you note that the movement was to make sure that the hindus did not reconvert the hindus who had become muslims yet still retained the cultural practices of the hindus. Thats why tabligh movement was founded. icna.org/tm/greatmovement3.htm Now, Bad? How? The first biggest problem can be that the person who tought up of the tabligh movement was person who was of the sufi school of though (icna.org/tm/greatmovement3.htm, check the site to know who is the founder of the tabligh and its certainly not Muhmmad (SAWS)). Second, Well, if you live in a muslim country and know the essentials of your deen, then you wont learn anything most likely from doing Tabligh work. If you have the access, then you should enroll in a serious Islamic academic/class program that lets you study the aqeedah, fiqh, hadith, and especially Arabic. In my masjid, which is esentially run by tabligees, I never found 1 Hadith Bukhari book or Muslim nor was I taught what Hadeeth was by hundreds of people, or the science of Hadeeth!! On the matter of blind following of the Madhabs of the Imams and I suppose this applies in general to all seeking knowledeg: Imam Abu Hanifah Nu'man ibn Thabit, whose companions have narrated from him various sayings and diverse warnings, all of them leading to one thing: the obligation to accept the Hadeeth, and to give up following the opinions of the imams which contradict it: 1. "When a hadeeth is found to be saheeh, then that is my madhhab."20 2. "It is not permitted21 for anyone to accept our views if they do not know from where we got them."22 In one narration, "It is prohibited23 for someone who does not know my evidence to give verdicts24 on the basis of my words." Another narration adds, "... for we are mortals: we say one thing one day, and take it back the next day." In another narration, "Woe to you, O Ya'qub25! Do not write down everything you hear from me, for it happens that I hold one opinion today and reject it tomorrow, or hold one opinion tomorrow and reject it the day after tomorrow."26 3. "When I say something contradicting the Book of Allaah the Exalted or what is narrated from the Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), then ignore my saying."27

i wish you people would just go and act instead of chat for and against tableegh. this is the problem with the so called practising muslims. they think they have a right to decide or suggest if something is ok or not. i think we muslims should keep our infected opinions to ourselves and just get connected to Allah. THEW SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET WAS ACTION. INFACT HE WAS PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE. ARE WE PROACTIVE OR REACTIVE. DO WE STOP DOING THINGS WHEN WE FEEL LIKE IT OR THE ENVIRONMENT IS AGAINST US OR ARE WE TRUELY DRIVEN BY OUR PURPOSE OF LIFE. DO WE EVEN HAVE A PURPOSE OF LIFE?

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers. Tableeghi jama't movement aims at removing innovations in islam like: 1. Visiting the graves of holy people AND praying to the dead. Note that it is not prohibited to visit the graves without any pre-intention (al-niyah) and to make dua by saying "ya allah..accept so and so of my dua by the tufail of this person". 2. Extravagant weddings 3. Music in weddings 4. hoisting of "jhanda" Are these not inovations? Should these not be told to them? By the way, the tableeghis do not prohibit: haqeeqah (sacrificing animal/s for new born). This is wrong info. Haqeeqah is sunnah. I think the tableeghis are in the right path. Their intention is to make every mosque a masjid-ul-nabawi and practise all the a'mal our beloved prophet sallalahu alahi wasallam did. "ya allah..show us the right path"..aameen

I am a new visitor to this website and I have seen that allot of people on this website claim that tabligh is the most important. This claim is rubbish, we should consider all to be equally as good and dear to ALLAH. Such as Tusawuf... I here from alot of wali allah'sthat in the time of the holy prophet (SAW) on one side there used to be tabligh and on the other majalius-e-durood sharif. so why is it that we claim tabligh to be greatest of all. where it is also said and i quote (from fazail e amal) that a gathering with out zikr of allah is a meeting of shatn and one with zikr of allah is a gathering of angels (these are not exact words but the jist of it). so in all I am just trying to say that all workings in islam in the path of allah are all good, may it be tabligh, majalis-e-durrod sharif...

As wr wb, ALhamdulillah and Inalillahi wainailaihi roji'un. Why many moslems fight and argue moslems. Prophets and sahabats argued against Kafirs. They spread Islam with all money and treasure and their souls. And they loved other moslems. We can not judge moslems amal. But if they make munkar, our duty is warning them. And then what we must do is HOW ISLAM is understood by other unbelievers. We make dakwah to them to make them confess LAILAHA ILLALLAH and Mohammadarrasulullah. DO not fight or argue with moslems. HARAM. Leave this! Come on go to CHRISTIANS, HINDUST, BUDHIST, and other Atheists. Make them ISLAM. Sacrifice what we have for making Islam noble and sparkle. And better amal and akhlak so that they will be interested in Islam. Holy Moslems. Tell them that Islam people are the future HEaven dwellers. Do not fight or argue against Islam people. And then we think we are the best among Islam people. We are the best . But kafirs and musyrik are the worst thann animals. Syahrul bariah. Look at this. If you leave the argument even you are in the right position, HE will build you a building in the Heaven. Argue with hikmah against Non Moslems. And do not be cowards. Our prophet did not manage to make his uncles Islam but he had spread islam anywhere. Until you are now!!! please read the Koran and try to understand the meaning. Look Al Ikhlas and Al KAfirun are all for Dakwah and other Surah are for dakwah to non moslems. remeber that!!! Well that is all and love you all. Love moslems and love non moslems when they fight us fight back. Love them but do not say that all religions are the same. All moslems are the same. But different amal and different level in the Heaven. Goodbye and the right come from HIM and the wrong come from me. Even if you have only one ayah you must deliver it to invite people to Islam.

Asalammualikum wa rahmatullah ! All praises are to Allah swt; and may Allah bless and sends peace upon Prophet Muhammed. I read most of the comments made by brothers in Islam; I like to share my point of view As I know from the Hadith of Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him; said Prophets don�t leave inheritance in wealth upon their deaths but their knowledge and scholars are the true inherits; And Allah swt also mention in Quran Surah Hajj; Allah�s withholds the curse upon the nation; until wrong doers surpass the correctors or become weak in confronting them (i.e. evil); (and by the way, does that not make us shiver in our shoes??). And knowing the method of following the religion brought by Prophet Muhammed PBUH is the complete and final; nothing in matter of religion needs modification as Imam Malik (May Allah have mercy on him) said ; one who invents new in religion Islam is like a person who have believe in Prophet Muhammed PBUH dishonesty of conveying Allah�s message to the Ummah. (Nauzubillah min Zalik) Jamat which was told to all the Muslims to hold was due to the command and I repeat command and not an option which proclaimed in Quran and Sunnah numerous of times; not to distribute in to groups for those followers strengthen shall depart� Alas!! What we have done; we have distributed ourselves and become stubborn to the ideology; Quran cannot be changed but explanation can, false Hadith made its way and many believed it reasoning it forefather�s conduct; when we have to do purchasing, we argue for the rates and look for the best deal� but enthusiasm takes off when it comes to following ISLAM; Every group comes out with their own terms to follow Islam emphasizing some and ignoring the rest. Jamat Tableeghi � is a group which also have agenda to grow in numbers and mind it majority in following sect does not represent the perfection� reference to Prophet Ibrahim (May Allah bless him) was called in Quran Millati-Ibrahimi .. with himself, wife and very few followers. Being truthful� I can�t camp in and out of the towns the way tableeghi brothers do, I may be busy with worldly dealings, serving to fulfill my rights to my parents, wife and children etc.; but I admire them very much as they are sincere but are not shown the right way to utilize their effort to pay back the Islamic society and knowing that correctly following Sunnah have rewards with Allah swt� Insha�Allah. With several reasons� I have tried to be reasonable and provided solutions to some extend, as follows; 1- Why read Fazail Ammal? Answer it has all; Quran, Sunnah and stories etc� all are providing the follower with rewards to earn. 2- You will agree and to my best of knowledge Stories of Waliullahs are not part of Islam but only Quran and Sunnah PBUH teachings (authenticated materials). Just to be worried� Torah and Gospel were not changed directly by the priests but by telling followers not to read the real Holy Books as it was difficult to understand and replaced with the easy version and they locked away the originals and left books rewritten by Saint John, Peter, King Arthur etc. 3- Just Fazails are not the way of preaching.. (i.e. Prophets way were to Nazeerun wa Basheer) 4- Always Fazail (i.e. Fazail Ammal) blocks knowledge of Fiqa, which is compulsory in following Sunnah PBUH properly). 5- Scholars who know religion need to go out for preaching and not people with zero or short knowledge. Rulers are responsible of the sponsorship and if people with-in themselves are able to manage as it is difficult for developing countries and mind it, most of the time it is not just funds but the weak faiths. 6- All Muslims needed to learn are required to settle down with some valid Islamic scholar in the Mosques near to their homes or in Islamic Institutions; Learn Quran Tafseer with Sunnah Hadiths and to start preaching from their homes, relatives, friends, place of work etc. and slowly extend their arena. 7- Mulana Zakaria was Sufia orientated. (i.e. Old version of Fazal Ammal can be cross checked) if now it has been modified and errors have been rectified but still under the same author; whose faith in Islam was polluted (reflected from his own books), don�t we have Quran and Tafseer from many of our great scholars in Islam (i.e. Bukhari, Muslim, Nisai, Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood etc.). 8- Lastly the priceless question, can someone answer why Arabs were given Riyad al-Salaheen in Arabic and not Fazail Ammal. Try my answer if acceptable or fits� Arabs are more alert in nabbing the SHIRK out than Muslims live in Indus region; Riyad-Al-Salaheen is an excellent book filled with Saheha hadiths of only rewarding nature; yes that�s right� thus a getaway and accomplishment in his motive as said earlier to have people live together with cracks in their minds and hearts in following the true Sunnah. Sorry if I have dishearten some of brethrens but we need to wake up for our own good. Wa Barak Allahu Lana wa Lakum

I f a doctor gave a prescription for a medication, saying take it twice a day, would we listen to him? yes. it is not mandatory that everyone take it twice a day. similarly, the ulema, our doctors, have come up with this perscription. if one cannot do 40 days 0r 4 months, whatever time they can give is O.K. also, i wanted to mention that sufis are not all bad. i don't know why many people recoile at the word sufi. it basically means that they are a people who put emphasis on dikr and spirituality. i a muslim were to hit an innocent child, would all muslims be abusers? no. some may be, but not ALL. the same way, if some sufis worship graves because of their ignorance, are all sufis grave worshippers?

Asaalaamualikum Dear Muslims and Muslimas. I hope everyone is in the best of Iman and health. Alhumdulillah, I agree 99% with Tableeghi Jamah. The other 1% is a bit of uncertainty. I love what they do and how they strive with all their heart to spread the deen. I am in a family who hate and despise tableegh. I joined tableegh just last year but I have a very hard time with my family. They detest & hate that i go out wih them. May Allah (SWT) make it easy for them, myself and the rest of the Muslim ummah to gain the yaqeen of this work. ameen. So my main question is only for people involved in the blessed work of tableegh. The question is...> Muslims involved in tableegh, if u look at masks_786in@yahoo.com post in the middle of this topic thread, he claims to state all of the wrong aqa'id of Tableegh. Has any tableeghi brother/sister researched a bit into his claimed statements of the Tableeghe's wrong belifs and found any to be true. Or are those just huge lies against tableegh? I ask this question to u guys, because my dad is telling me the same thing about tableegh since he is totally against it. Please respond. Jazakallh Khair. Assalaamualikum.

To read a good exposing of the salafi movement read "Albani and his friends" available from most non-salafi bookshops in birmingham and online at http://www.aqsapublications.com/ The fatwas given by salafis over the past few years include the destruction of Abu Bakr's(ra) Masjid in Saudi Arabia, The desecration of the grave of the Prophet's (saw) Mother. Turning Khadija's(ra) house into a public lavatory. Also they have done books declaring Imam Abu Hanifa to be misguided individual (asthagfirullah) and they even declare him to be out of the fold of Islam! That Imam Bukhari and Imam Nawawi and other great scholars like them made silly mistakes that are not becoming of Muslims.Implying that they are not Muslims! They have also given fatwas such as one given by Bin Baz in 1991 for USA troops to occupy the Holy Land and destroy Iraq. They have also given fatwas that the Palestinian struggle is wrong that their tactics are wrong that suicide bombing (martyrdom operations) are wrong. That Palestinians should exit Palestine and Israel because it is enemy land! They also say that the green dome of Masjid Nabawi in Medina Sharif should be destroyed and the Prophet (saw) should be taken out of there!! They also say that Taraweeh is 8 rakats and rely on hadith that actually is talking about tahujjud and witr combined night prayers! There Shaykh Albani says that it is innovation to pray more than 8 rakats of Taraweeh so in effect they are saying that Umar (ra), Uthman, (ra), Ali (ra) are all innovaters as it is proven 100% that they prayed 20 rakats taraweeh in the presence of Aisha (ra) who did not contradict there practise. Thay cannot name one institution or teacher that Albani (there major Shaykh) had. He was a watch repair man by trade who read a few books and claimed to be a scholar. He was thrown out of Syria, Saudi Araia and died in Jordan whilst living under house arrest in 1999. They take hadiths literally and do not have any scholarly commentary of hadiths. They declare as weak those hadiths which contradict there views. Ths is there dawah so beware

The effort that these Muslims, both men and women, both within their villages and towns, or overseas, are joining the hearts of all Muslims from all kinds of background, mazhabs, languages, in all four corners of the world � invoking each other to embark on a journey to improve one another in their faith and practices � to love Allah, his prophet, his companions, and one another because of Allah. Of course, in this journey, the challenge is always there. And for these Muslims, the challenge will build their strength and character even further. The devil is lurking. The devil is more knowledgeable about Islam and sahih hadith. His downfall however, is his pride and lack of obedience.

Assalamalaikum, I am an Arab who has a close relationships with different movements' people among which Tabligh. They are doing good job, and their deviation is for sure less than many other groups. They sacrifice a lot and are humble. However, as nobody or group is 100% free of mistakes, I can see that Tabligh Jamaat has some points that must be reviewed. 1) Removing every incorrect hadiths from within their work. Yes, some scholars agree upon using hadith dai'f(weak) in fada'eilammaal but they set 4 conditions for that among which it must be never ever be attributed to the prophet. Please take a look at the saying of the old scholars of hadith. It should be noted that some scholars have totally refused using them by any means and the sahih ones are enough!!. 2) Relying on dream stories (e.g.: The hungry man who got half of the bread in his hand..please refer to Fada'ilAmmal==>Cheik Ilyas). For your information, such Karamat even it happen it does indicate nothing!! It can happen to anyone regardless to his/her piousness. This is not my saying but scholars one. 3) The way they regard Cheik Ilyas, he is a man with efforts in Islam May Allah accept from him and full stop. don't go beyond the limits. 4) The level of Islamic education in their followers. Generally, they discuss specific topics in their gatherings (I went many times in the part of Allah). They try to establish Tawhid Arububiyah which was already in Kufar Kuraich but the Prothet(PBUH) fought them until they believe in Tawhid Al_Auluhiah and Asma wa Sifat. Yea, they do great job in inviting people to Islam, but when you bring him/her to the group his/her knowledge about shariah will be left for him/her to explore individually which for sure was not the prophet's way my dear!!! 5)The number of group followers (4 million) or even 200 million will not give the right to anyone to say that the group is on the right path. We seek the truth and not truth followers. 6) When we make Joulah (going from house to house) they will restrict your speech to certain words. It is a predefined phrases that the one must follow. 7) The kuruj (Going in the part of Allah) is gradually increasing from merely 3days for the beginners to 1 year or more!! Last time I found a group and they were proud to tell me that they are on Kuruj for 1 year. Aren't they with families responsibility!!! Refer to Aishah (Radi Allahu Anha) when she was asked how long a woman can resist statying away from her hubby, she replied 4months, and then all Mujahidin were reminded to be back before 4 moths. Please refer to Sirah. ############### Facts: * I am not belonging to any group! Enough for us the groups that we have already created. * I am not saying don't follow Jamaa Tabligh. All what am emphasizing is to be prudent and to criticize any conduct according to Quran and Sunnah. * I am not a scholar or even a Shariah student. I am doing my master in Informatics (Computer Science). ################# Thank you for spending time in reading my entry. May Allah guide us to the truth without restricting ourselves to any imam in particular. Wassalamalaikum. Any further info email me: syria10(at)maktoob.com

Word of Advice First of all I would like to respond to those who feel that speaking against deviant pseudo-Islaamic groups is a waste of time and energy is in fact total contradiction to Qur'�nand Sunnah. In Soorah Aal'imraan3:110 Allah says "you are the best nation raised up among mankind (because) you command the good and prohibit the evil" Commanding the good is not sufficient in itself to earn us the title "best of the nations" it must be complemented by the prohibitions of evil {an Nahi �An Al-Munkar }: Not to mention the classical Ahaadeeth in which the prophet (saws) said "who ever sees evil should stop it with his hands, but if he is unable he should speak against it ......"{Narrated by Abu sa'eedal-khudree} and If we review the lives of the Sah�bah and the early scholars, we find them not only teaching Islaam, But also condemning whatever innovations {Bid'ah or Deviations occurred around them, In every era there arose ideas which challenged the pure concept of Islaam, and were it not for scholars who arose to oppose them, the deviant ideas would have over whelmed the masses, "When some people mentioned to IMAAM AHMED IBN HANBAL {rahim'ullah that they felt uneasy about critising people he replied," If I were to remain silent, how would the ignorant masses know truth from falsehood?" Those who introduce heretical writings and deviant religious rites contrary to Qur'�nand Sunnah have to be exposed and the Muslim nation warned against them according to the unanimous agreement of Muslim scholars Infact, Yahyaa ibn Maeen companion of IMAAM AHMED IBN HANBAL {rahim'ullah was asked if one who fasted, prayed and secluded himself in the masjid was dearer to him than one who spoke out against people involved in Deviations, he replied, "When he fasts, Prays and secludes himself, he does so for himself alone, but if he speaks out against the Deviations, he does so for Muslims in general which is more Noble, Hence it is clear that openly opposing innovation {Bid'ah and Deviations is of general benefit to Muslims in the practice of their religion and comes under the heading of "Jihaad fee sabeelil-laah" {struggle in Allah's path} Purification of Allah's religion and the repulsion of attacks against it is a general obligation {Fard kifaayah} on Muslims by unanimous agreement. For if Allah did not raise up some people to oppose the corruption preached by heretics, the religion would surely become distorted and deviant, The corruption of the Divinely revealed religion is far more terrible than the corruption resulting from the military conquest of the Non-Muslims, For when Non-Muslims over powers Muslims they are not able to corrupt the hearts of Muslims, or their religion except after some time, whereas, heretics corrupt the hearts from the very outset", That's why we should expose the evil of because this movement and Leaders recognizes Sufism and other deviant pseudo- Islaamic thinking like muraaqaba on graves as being valid and there is big list of scholars who has the same view for these Deviant pseudo-Islaamic groups and there likes. Finally Tabligi Jamat page and its sub links contains Alhamdulillah, a critical study of the ahadeeth and other material in the well known Tablighi Nisaab - Fazail-e-Aa'maal Insha-Allah we ask the brothers and sisters to read this with an open heart, and remember the hadith of the prophet Muhammad (saws) when he said : "The one who loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah, he will taste the sweetness of Eemaan (faith)". Thus it is a part of Faith, that we evaluate the evidences of those who preach Islam, and thus correct our Islam so that we may be guided. In this regard, Ibn Sireen {rahim'ullah said as quoted in the introduction to Sahih Muslim said: "This (hadeeth) is the religion! So be careful as to whom you take this religion". Ibn Taahir al-Maqdisi al-Haafidh {rahim'ullah said, "I heard the Imaam, Abu Ismaa'eel'Abdullaah bin Muhammad al-Ansaari {rahim'ullah saying, whilst in Haraah: 'The sword was put to my neck five times [and each time] it was not said to me, 'Leave your madhhab' but it was said to me, 'Remain silent about those who are in opposition to you'. So I would say, 'I will not remain silent'." [Aadaab us-Sharee'ah(1/207) of Ibn Muflih al-Maqdisi al-Hanbali]. Al-Humaidee, the Shaikh of al-Bukhaaree {rahim'ullah said, "By Allaah, that I war against those who reject the Ahaadeeth of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) is more beloved to me than that I should war against the same number of Non-Muslims." [Al-Harawi in Dhamm ul-Kalaam]. Ibn al-Qayyim {rahim'ullah said, "The Jihaad with decisive proofs [from the Book and the Sunnah] and the tongue takes precedence over the Jihaad with the sword and the teeth." [Al-Jawaab us-Saheeh of Ibn Taymiyyah (1/237)]. Nasr bin Zakariyaa {rahim'ullah said, I heard Muhammad bin Yahyaa adh-Dhuhlee saying, I heard Yahyaa bin Yahyaa saying, "Defence of the Sunnah is more superior than Jihaad in the path of Allaah." So I said, "A man spends his wealth, tires his body and strives (in Jihaad), so is this one (still) better than him? He said, "Yes, by many times!" [Dhammu ul-Kalaam of al-Harawi]. Fudayl ibn �Iyaad {rahim'ullah said: "Whichever man comes to asking for advice and he directs him to an innovator then he has acted deceitfully towards Islam, and beware of entering upon a person of innovation since they prevent from the truth." (Al-Laalikaa�ee, no.261) Thus, it is the order of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and the understanding of the Sah�bah that we evaluate the books that we read, and weigh it according to the Qur'�n Sunnah and their interpretation by the Salaf-us-Salih. Keeping this in mind, with total commitment to understanding the truth for the sake of Allaah, we invite you to read the exposition of the book "Fazail-e-Aa'maal. May Allah ta'laahave mercy on you. We ask Allah's help to fill us with the right knowledge and Guide us and Grant the Ummah to loving the truth and its people. {Aameen}

The final fatwa of Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz in warning against the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh In the Name of Allaah, All Compassionate, All Merciful His excellency, Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz (rahima-hullaah) was asked about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, so the questioner asked: Your excellency, we hear about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and that which their da�wah entails. So would you advise me to join this Jamaa�ah (group). I anticipate your guidance and advice, and may Allaah reward you immensely. So the Shaykh responded by saying: Whoever invites to (the path of) Allaah, then he is a muballigh (one who conveys the message (of Islaam)), (as the hadeeth mentions): ((Convey from me, even if it be a (single) Aayah)); However, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh (originally) from India have many deviations. They have some aspects of bid�ah and shirk, so it is not permissible to go (out) with them, except for a person who has knowledge and goes (out) with them to disapprove of what they are upon and to teach them (the truth). If, however, he goes (out) to follow and adhere to them, then no. That is because they have deviations, mistakes and lack of knowledge. However, if there was a Jamaa�ah doing tableegh other than them, from the people of knowledge, then (it is permissible to) go out with them for daw�ah purposes. If there was a person of knowledge who goes out with them to enlighten and guide them, along with teaching them such that they leave their falsehood and embrace the way of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah, (then that is good). [So, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and those who sympathise with them, will benefit from this fatwa, illustrating the reality of their �aqeedah and Manhaj and the writings of their scholars whom they blindly follow] [This was extracted from the tape: �Fatwa Samaahatush-Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz concerning the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh� which was published in Ta�if about two years before the Sahykh�s death. The tape refutes the cover-up of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and the old statement of the Shaykh which was published before their reality and manhaj was made clear to him.

The Statements of the Deobandee Hanafee Scholars On the Misguidance of Jamaat ut-Tableegh Prepared Abu Hibbaan and Abu Khuzaimah Ansaari Copyright belongs to the Compilers Since the establishment of Jamaat ut-Tableegh the scholars of Ahlus sunnah Wal-Jaamah have pointed out and highlighted their mistakes according to their aims and objectives, their way's method and Manhaj. However the words of the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Hadeeth was and is never taken even after they highlighted the mistakes of Jamaat ut-Tableegh evidently from the book and the authentic sunnah. The most ironic thing of this whole disagreement with Jamaat ut-Tableegh is that the points raised by Ahlus-Sunnah Wa Ahlul-Hadeeth are exactly the same to those that their own leaders, the deobandee hanafees raised themselves, for example 1. The method of Jamaat ut-Tableegh is not in accordance with the Qur'aan, Sunnah or the understanding of the Pious Predecessors. 2. Their abandonement of rectifying the beliefs of the general masses 3. Concentrating on the prayer and leaving the fundamental creed of Tawhed (oneness of Allaah). Also saying the work of tableegh is of the greatest importance. 4. Speaking without knowledge, normal people give the lectures and sermons who lack knowledge 5. and believing the method of Jamaat ut-Tableegh is the only method of rectification and that it is complete. The Statements Of the Deobandee Hanafee Scholars Maulana Ehtishaam al-Hasan Khandelvi was a very very close friend of Maulana Muhammad Ilyaas (the founder of Jamaat ut-Tableegh) from childhood to oldage. Maulana Ehtishaam al-Hasan wrote a book called, "Zindagee Kee Siraat-e-Mustaqeem" (The straight Path of Life) at the end of which he included a very small treatise entitled, "An Important Note", in this he wrote, "The tableegh of the present Nizaam ud deen (Delhi- the headquarters of the Tableeghi Jamaat) according to my knowledge and understanding it is neither according to the Qur'aan nor to the method of Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Thanee, Hazreat Shaah Waleeullaah Muhaddith Dehlawee or according to the scholars of the truth. So the scholars who participate in this tableegh, their first responsibility should be to conform this effort according to the Qur'aan, Hadeeth, to the way of the Scholars of the Salaf (Predecessors) and the scholars of the truth." So another deobandi hanafee scholar attempted to answer this. Mahmood Hasan Gangohee (Not THEE Mualana Mahmood al-Hasan or Shaikh ul-Hindh) said, "To this day i had been assuming that he (Maulana Ehtishaam al-Hasan) remained in Khandelah because of his bad health and and due to which he abandoned his presence in Nizaam ud deen and did not participate in the work of tableegh, however from this 'Important Note' I found out the reason for him not participating was because acording to him the work of tableegh is not necessary rather it is destroying the religion." (Chashmah Aftaab (pg.7) The author of Chashmah Aftaab, Qamar ud deen Mazaahiree writes in his foreword, "Maulana Ehtishaam ul-Hasan is from the founders of this movement and very recently he has strongly refuted Jamaat ut-Tableegh and said it is a group that calls to misguidance." (Chashmah Aftaab (pg.3) Maulana Muhammad Zakariyyah admitted this and at the same time he mentions the internal feud of the tableeghee's and deobandee's. he says, "However even I am hearing that some of the represenatatives (khulafaa) and Hawaas of Maulana Thanwee do not like Jamaat ut-Tableegh." (Chashmah Aftaab (pg.11) The representative (khaleef) of Khaleel Ahmad Saharanpooree and a close worker with the founder of Jamaat ut-Tableegh Muhammad Ilyaas and his son Maulana Yoosuf, the deobandee scholar Abdur Raheem Shaah said, "The work that is for the people of knowledge, the general people want to do. Yet not only are they unaware of the religion but they are also not seen in good terms because of their ignorances and bad deeds in the community. Then consider the following, "When the leader of a nation becomes bad then he only teaches a path of destruction to his people." (Usool Dawat Wat-Tableegh (pg.3) He further said, "I (Abdur-Raheem) swear by Allaah and say this tableegh I am doing is only due to a necessity and so I am excused by the people because since these youth have started their open sermons for which they do not have permision according to the sharee'ah and they have exceeded the bounds in regards to its virtue (ie tableegh). Also they have openly hidden other aspects of the religion and after constant reminders by the superiors they were not stopped, then in these situations the people with responsibility should make this open and public." (Usool Dawat Wat-Tableegh (pg.52) Maulana Abdur-Raheem Shaah writes, "Considering the innovation (non-Sunnah) to be the sunnah is a blameworthy act of the creedal aspect. I fall short in understanding how is it correct to rectify some actions (of the people) and yet turn a blind eye to defects in their beliefs as the correct beliefs are the means of salvation, and not the actions." (Usool Dawat Wat-Tableegh (pg.64) The famous deobandee scholar Manzoor Ahmad Nu'maanee raises an objection on Jamaat ut-Tableegh, he say, "This mistake is quite common, that in general gatherings people are encouraged to deliver lectures who are not worthy to do so. Sometimes these very same people are not even fully aware of the associated issues and so whilst speaking they do not even realise the limits of their knowledge. So this is the reality of this and these mistakes occur frequently so it is upon the superiors to think and reflect upon this." (Tadhkirratudh-Dhafar (pg.244) Abul Hasan Alee Nadwee said, "One of the disatisfactions the Maulana (Ashraf Alee Thanwee) had, was how will these people (ie Jamaat ut-Tableegh call the people to the importance of tableegh without knowledge. So when (the nephew of the maulana) Dhafar Ahmad (Thanwee) informed him that the speakers who deliver these lectures only speak about the issues they have been ordered to speak about and they do not speak about anything other than this, so he (Maulana Ashraf Alee) became satisfied." (Deenee Dawat (pg.126). The biographer of Maulana Dhafar Ahmad Thanwee, Maulana Abdush-Shakoor Tirmidhee said, "And we are seeing more commonly the people who travel for tableegh do not have knowledge and due to this the speakers, speak about of all kinds of issues whilst mentioning stories and folk tales and in doing so most of them exceed the limits of theie knowledge." (Tadhkirratudh-Dhafar (pg.242) Maulana Dhafar Ahmad Thanwee himslef said, "The present method of Jamaat ut-Tableegh in cultivating the people upon the knowledge of Islaam and of the various sciences, is totally neglected." (Tadhkirratudh-Dhafar (pg.252) He further said, "The tableegh of the defective person is unreliable." (Tadhkirratudh-Dhafar (pg.253). Bare in mind Maulana Dhafar Ahmad Thanwee addressed an individual who does tableegh according to the way of Jamaat ut-Tableegh as defective. Abdush-Shakoor Tirmidhee writes, "Maulana (Dhafar Ahmad) did not at anytime consider joining and working with Jamaat ut-Tableegh sufficient." (Tadhkirratudh-Dhafar (pg.241) Another teacher of Daar al-Uloom Deoband said, "From the time I familiarised myself with their method of tableegh (ie of Jamaat ut-Tableegh's), I was never satisfied with it."

ISSUES OF CRITICISM CONCERNING JAMAA'ATUT-TABLEEGH By the Subduer of Innovations, Al-�Allaamah Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi�ee Translated by Maaz Qureshi [Taken from Tarjumah Abee �Abdur-Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi�ee (p. 137-138) of Shaykh Muqbil.] Source: TROID Publications So as for Jamaa�atut-Tableegh, then in front of you is what the noble brother, Muhammad Ibn �Abdul-Wahhaab al-Wassaabee � may Allaah preserve him - has written. So he said, [1]: They act upon Weak ahaadeeth. Rather, they act upon fabricated ahaadeeth and those that have no basis. [2]: You will find many innovations amongst them. Rather, their da�wah (call) is built upon innovations. The backbone of their call is khurooj (going out) with a limit of three days in a week, four months in a year and four months (at least) in a lifetime. And they have two excursions (jawlah) every week: one to the mosque that is prayed in, and the other is a roaming excursion. And they have two study circles every day: a circle in the mosque that is prayed in, and one circle at a house. So they will not be pleased with a person until he adheres to this. There is no doubt that this is an innovation in the Religion for which Allaah has sent down no authority. [3]: They feel that the call to Tawheed causes conflict for the Ummah. [4]: They feel that the call to the Sunnah causes conflict for the Ummah. [5]: Their leader says sternly, �An innovation that gathers the people together is better than a Sunnah which divides the people.� [6]: They have enmity towards Ahlus-Sunnah. [7]: They indirectly and directly deprive the people of beneficial knowledge. [8]: They feel that there is no salvation for the people, except through their path, and they strike a parable stating that this (their call) is like the Ark of Nooh; whosoever boards it is saved and whosoever does not, is destroyed. And they say, �Our da�wah is like the Ark of Nooh.� Indeed I have heard the likes of this from them in Jordan and Yemen. [9]: They do not give importance to Tawheedul-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Allaah in Divinity) and Tawheedul-Asmaa� was-Sifaat (Oneness of Allaah in His Names and Attributes). [10]: Verily they do not prepare for seeking knowledge. They feel that the time spent in search of knowledge is a waste. And they possess other than what has been mentioned.

Fazail-e-Aa'maal All praise is due to Allah and may Allah's peace and blessings be upon His messenger (saws). Verily the best speech is the book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alaihiwasallam and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the fire. (Sahih Muslim Eng. Trans. Vol. 2 Page 40 no. 1885). To proceed: The religion of Islam is that which has been ordained by Allah, fully explained by the prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam as understood and practised by the salaf-us-saliheen (the pious predecessors which includes the Sah�bah, Tabi'eenand their followers). The Sunnah has been preserved in its pristine purity in the books of Sunnah only because of the chain of narrators (isnaad) reaching up to the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam, has been meticulously preserved by the Muhadditheen (Scholars of Ahaadeeth). In the words of Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak (died 181 A.H.) on of the very illustrious teachers of Imam al-Bukhari, who said. "The isnaad is part of the religion and had it not been for the isnaad, whoever wished would have said whatever he liked". Reported by Imam Muslim in the introduction to his Sahih. (Sharh Sahih Muslim - Arabic Vol. 1 Page 87 published by Darul Kuthubul-Islamiyyah, Lebanon). Only the narrations which reach the level of Saheeh (authentic) or Hasan (good) as defined by the Scholars (Muhadditheen) are suitable to be held as evidence in matter of belief [such as creed (aqeedah) and the unseen (ghaib)], in the rulings and laws of the religion or in matters of worship. Only these can be attributed definitely and directly to the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam. Narrations which fail to reach these two standards will be collectively termed weak (Da'eef and should not be attributed directly to the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam in a definite form as clearly explained by Imam Nawawi in Sharh Sahih Muslim (Arabic Vol. 1, Page 81 - Darul Kuthubul Islamiyyah). Weak narrations provided their weakness is not sever, (i.e. There are no liars and / or fabricators and none suspected of lying or fabricating in the chain) can only be used to exhort or warn of a deed (amal) already sanctioned by the other authentic ahaadeeth (singular - hadeeth). If the weakness is severe (as in the case of false, fabricated, etc. ahaadeeth) it cannot be used for the above purpose as well. If such hadeeth are over to be quoted it should be only for the purpose of warning the Muslim community of false and fabricated ahaadeeth. Even then the defect should be clearly stated so that the ahaadeeth will not be attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam. The Muhadditheen have collected such narrations for the purpose of warning the community, in separate books Few examples of such books are : 1. Ak-Maudhooaathul Kubra by Mulla Ali Qari. 2. Al-Maudhooaathul Sughra by Mulla Ali Qari. 3. Al-La'aaliul-Masnuah fil Ahadeethil Maudhoo'ahby Imam Suyooti. 4. Thanzeehus Shareeathil Marfoo'ahanil Ahadith-ish-Shaneeathul Maudoo'ahby Ibnul Iraq al-Kan'ani Attributing a saying not told by the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam to the Prophet is a very grave sin and will lead the person to Hell. It is reported from a large number of Sah�bah from the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam that he said "Whoever lies on me intentionally then let him reserve his seat in hell". (Sahih Bukhari. Eng. Trans. Book of Knowledge, Chapter - The sin of a person who tells a lie against the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam Vol. 1 Hadeeth no 106 and also by Imam Muslim in his preface to Sahih Muslim). Also it will include a person among the liars as can be seen in the following two ahaadeeth also found in the preface to Sahih Muslim. 1. "Whoever narrated a hadeeth from me which is seen as a lie then he is one of the liars" [From Sharh Sahih Muslim (Arabic) by Imam Nawawi Vol. 1 Page 62 - Darul Kuthubul Islamiyyah] 2. "It is sufficient for a person to be a liar that he narrates all that he hears" (page 73 of the book referred to above). And commenting on the above Imam Nawawi goes on to say "....... and there is no difference in the prohibition of lying on the Prophet either in what concerns the laws of the religion or in other than the laws like exhorting, warning, advising and the like of it, all of this is Haram (Forbidden). It is from the greatest of the grave sins and vilest of the abominable matters in the unanimous opinion of the Muslims ..etc" In the light of this knowledge we shall examine a source reference of a long hadeeth from the original Urdu version of the book 'Thabligi Nissab', now renamed as "Fazail-e-Aa'maal, written by Shaikh Maulana Muhammad Zakariyyah Kandalawi. The source reference which is in Arabic is not translated fully in the original version (which is in Urdu), nor is it found fully translated into the other languages (English/ Tamil / Singhalese). The Arabic source which can be seen in the Old Tamil Editions (untranslated) is itself strangely missing in the new editions in all the languages. This book well known as the "Tha'leemKitaab" of the Thablighi Jamaat, is reverently read in practically every mosque every day and the general public is made to listen to it in the pretext that it is a genuine and authentic book. In the part entitled 'Virtues of Salaah' there is a sub-section called 'Reproach on giving up Salaah', hadeeth number 7 in this section is along hadeeth describing 5 rewards and 15 punishments. After quoting the hadeeth in Arabic a passage follows in Arabic which attempts to give the source of the hadeeth. This is not translated in to Urdu in the original "Tha'leemKitaab" written by the author for Urdu readers. Further the translations of the book in to English, Tamil and Singhalese do not have the source reference as fully given in the Urdu version (a few inadequate comments are sometimes found in some editions regarding the source, but these do not reveal the true status of the hadeeth). The translation o the Arabic source reference in "Thabligi Nisaab" (Urdu) by Sheikh Maulana Muhammad Zakariyyah Kandalawi, section "Fazail Namaaz", Baad Awwal pg. 312 follows : That which has been said in the explanation of the hadeeth in regard to the number does not tally with 15 as there are only 14. Maybe the narrator forgot the 15th. This has been said by Ibn Hajr al-Makkie* in his books 'Zavaajir'. I am saying : Abul Laith Samarkandy (1) has narrated the hadeeth in this book 'Kurrathul Uyoon', he has made 6 things as related to his world, saying that the 5th (of the above 6 things) is that "all the creations will hate him in this world" and that the 6th is that "that he will not have any part in the Du'aaof the pious". Then he narrated the hadeeth till the end, and did not attribute to it (the hadeeth) to anyone. Sheikh Nassr Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem As-Samarkandy (2) says in his book 'Thanbeeh-ghul-Ghafileen' that it will be said "whoever was constant in his five time prayers with congregation, Allah will honour him with 5 favours. Whoever was negligent in it, Allah will punish him with 12 things, 3 in this world, 3 at the time of death, 3 in the qabr (grave) and 3 on the Day of Judgement", then narrated the like of it and then said "it has been narrated the like of this from Abu Dharr from the Prophet Sallallahu alaihiwasallam". And Suyooti said in his book 'Zailul Aalee' (3) after narrating with this meaning from the narration of Ibn Najjar in 'Thareekh Baghdaad' with the chain to Abu Hurrairah. (Then Suyooti quotes) "said in 'Meezan' (4) this hadeeth is false, composed it : Muhammad Ibn Alee Ibn Abbass on Abu Bark Ibn Ziyaad-an-Naisaboorie." I am saying : But said Al-Hafiz (5) in 'Munabbahath' from Abu Hurrairah that it was attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alai hiwasallam "the prayer is the pillar of Deen and in it are 10 things". I have told (wrote) it in 'Al-Hindiyyah' and told (wrote) it Al-Ghazzali in 'Dakaikul-Akhbaar' (6) the like of it and a more complete one of it, and said "whoever protected it Allah honoured him with 15 things .." to its end and narrated the hadeeth in detail. End of Translation of the Arabic source given in 'Thablighi Nissab'. We shall now discuss some important points in this extract, numbers (1) - (5) at the end of which the authenticity of the narration will become clear for the reader himself. (1), (2) : The authors referred to in (1) and (2) are both the same person, i.e. : Abul Laith Nassr Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmed Ibn Ibraheem As-Samarkandi, This is an error on the part of the author to give the idea that 2 separate writers are referring to this hadeeth in 2 different books. This sort of duplicity and its other varieties are categorized in the terminology of the scholars of hadeeth as 'Thadlees' which literally means 'concealing'. This will by no means enhance the authenticity of a hadeeth but will further increase its weakness. Imam Shamsuddeen Dhahabi, a renowned scholar in his book Siar a'alaminnubalaa (Vol 16 Page 323) writing about Abul Laith Saamarkandy says that "he dabbles in fabricated ahaadeeth" and further Imam Dhahabi in his book Thareekthul Islam (reference to period between A.H. 351-380, pg583) says "Thanbeeghul Ghafileen contains numerous fabricated ahaadeeth". (3) 'Zailul Aalee' is a book by Imam Suyooti. The full name of the book has not been given. The reason for doing so will be soon evident once the full name and its meaning is known, i.e. : "Zailul -La'aaliul-Masnuah fil Ahadethil Maudhoo'ah when rendered into English will read 'Tails of made up pearls in fabricated Ahaadeeth'. Therefore 'Tails of pearls' only is given to make it seemingly authentic pearls for a person who is unaware of the full name of the books which is devoted to discussing the false and fabricated ahaadeeth for the purposes of warning the Muslims of their existence! Imam Suyooti quotes this ahaadeeth in this book from another book called 'Thareekh Baghdaad' by Ibn Najjar in which the chain of narrators are mentioned. In its chain appears a fabricator of ahaadeeth of the name of Muhammad Ibn Alee ibn Abbaas who attributes it to Abu Bakr Ibn Ziyaad an-Naisaboori. (4) As for the identity of Muhammad Ibn Alee Ibn Abbaas as a fabricator it is mentioned in "Al-Meezan-ul-I'athidaalfee Naqaddirrijaal", a book written by Imam Dhahabi which is quoted by Imam Suyooti. Imam Dhahabi declare this hadeeth as 'Baatil' or 'False' as it is fabricated. (5) Al-Hafiz as he is popularly know is Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani (773 - 852AH) and is the author of the world renowned commentary on 'Sahih al-Bukhari' known as 'Fath-ul-Bari', is not Ibn Hajr al-Makkie referred to in * of the above translation. The hadeeth which is quoted from 'Munabbahaath' (ie. the prayer is the pillar of the deen and in it are 10 things) is different from the hadeeth for which the source is being provided (ie. The hadeeth referring to the 15 punishments, etc..) Munabbathaath which has been attributed to Hafiz Ibn Hajar is not found amongst the books written by him. Further the book has not been attributed to Al-Hafiz by any of the scholars including Imam Sakhawi who is one of his students. Also several scholars have actually refuted the saying that Munabbahaath is al-Hafiz's book. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani in his book 'Lisan-ul-Meezan' (a book analysing the standard of narrators and their narrations) in Volume 5 pages 295-297, has quoted the hadeeth concerning the 15 punishments for neglecting the prayer which is quoted above and said that it is a "manifest falsehood from the people of Tareeqahs (Sufi paths)." (6) Dakaikul Akhbaar which has been attributed to Imam Ghazali by Maulana Zakariyya again cannot be found amongst Imam Ghazali'scompilations! Rather it is found with the full name "Dakaikul Akhbaar fi bayani dhikri ahlil Jannah wa ahwali ahlin Naar" as a book written by Abul Laith Samarkandy who is the very same person referred to in (1) and (2)!!!! Note : Sheikh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn al-Baz - the Grand Mufti of the Saudi Arabia said in his 'Fatawaa' (Vol 1, page 97) in reference to the hadith concerning 15 punishments : "It will be compulsory on a person who finds a paper containing this hadith that he burns it, and warns anyone he finds spreading this narration, in order to safeguard the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam from the lies of the liars"!!!!!. We stop here with the analysis of the references given as by now it will be evident to the searcher of the truth and the one jealous for Islam, that it will be futile trying to authenticate this hadeeth. Thus it is the conclusion that this hadeeth is false and fabricated. The hadeeth quoted from 'Bukhari and Muslim', the verdicts of Imam Nawawi (an authoritative Muhaddith) and sayings of the illustrious scholars of this Ummaah which are far too numerous to quote in such a small essay is that the Ummah must steer clear from quoting such hadeeth and its like. It should be quoted only for the purpose of warning that such false hadeeth exist. This is only one of the many such false and fabricated narrations which have been put into circulation amongst the Muslims. Insha-Allah further highlights of such false and fabricated ahaadeeth will follow so that the Muslims are warned and will be able to follow truly what the Prophet sallallahu alaihiwasallam said and not what has been falsely attributed to him. Because the prophet (saws) said "Whoever lies on me intentionally then let him reserve his seat in hell". And our final call is that all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Aalameen.

An Outline of the Methodology of Jamaa'atut-Tabligh By Abu Ibraaheem ibn Sultan al-Udnaanee From the Book: Al-Qutubiyyah: Hiyal-Fitnah Fa'rifoohaaSource: All Praise is to Allaah who says in His Book: This day have I completed (perfected) your religion for you and have completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion and Who also says And no by your Lord, they cannot be real believers until they make you as a judge in all disputes between them and then do not find any resistance against what you have decided in their souls but accept (it) with the fullest submission and Who also said: And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun (those who migrated from Makkah to Madinah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Mad�nah who helped and gave aid to the Muhajirun) and also those who followed them exactly (in faith). Allaah is well pleased with them as they are well pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success. And may prayers and peace be upon His friend and chosen one, Muhammad bin Abdullaah, who said: "I have left you upon clear proof. Its night is like its day. No one deviates from it except one who is destroyed" [Musnad Ahmad], and who also said: "Whoever does an action which we have not commanded will have it rejected." [Bukaaree] And [prayers and peace] be upon his family and companions to whom the Messenger (s.a.w.s) said: "I advise you to fear Allaah (have taqwaa of Him) and to listen and obey (to the leader) even if it is a black abyssinian slave. He amongst you lives for long will see many controversies/differences. Therefore, you must stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. Stick to it (the Sunnah) with your molar teeth and beware of the newly-invented matters as every newly-invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance", and who also said: "And my ummah will split into 73 groups all of them in the Hellfire except for one", then it was said: 'And what is this one group? He said: "It is that which I am upon this day and my companions." Nowadays there is a lot of talk regarding the muslim groups and the majority of those who speak about them can be divided into two types: Those who praise and those who criticise, due to the differences in the purposes of the criticism. For this reason I loved to talk about two groups from amongs them so that I make clear, what I believe to be correct and that I make clear some of the things which some of the noble brothers have complained about. Also, that I may respond to some of the queries which circulate in the minds of many of the youth, while joining together the branches with the fundamentals, which these groups have gone towards (and adopted), so I say and with Allaah lies success: Know my brother - may Allaah make me and you receive every goodness - that the true da'wahis the da'wahthat stands by and sticks to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf us-Saalih (the Righteous Predecessors) and that any da'wahthat leaves anything from what has just been mentioned has deviated and swerved from the path of truth and correctness to the extent of its abandonment of what has been mentioned above. Know also that every group claims to be sticking to the Book and the Sunnah so what do you see is the difference between these groups and the call of the group upon the truth? The differences are many and amongst them are: Firstly: That the truthful call is the one that clings to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf us-Saalih and all the other calls cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the one who initiated and founded it. The Jahmiyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of Ja'dbin Dirham and Jahm bin Safwaan. The Ash'ariyyahcling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of their scholars who attribute themselves to Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ariyy the Tableeghiyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of its founder, Muhammad Ilyaas and the Ikhwaaniyyah with all its types and offshoots and amongst them are the Qutubiyyah cling to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of its founder's Hassan al-Bannaa, Saeed Qutub, Hudaibee, Maududi and others. Secondly: That the call of truth is the one whose adherents take their knowledge from the leaders of the da'wahof the Salafiyyah in every age and era, who study under and learn from the living amongst them and read the books of those who are dead amongst them, from every generation in opposition to the calls of falsehood since they are the enemies of the scholars of the Salaf, the living amongst them and the dead. In fact they are behind every opposition to them even if they claim openly that they are followers of them. Thirdly: That the adherents of the call of truth concern themselves with the books of the Salafiyyah, by reading, memorising, understanding, authenticating, and publishing and defending them in opposition to the calls of falsehood since they are haters of those books. Rather, they fight against them, against their publication and they strive to get their followers to stick to the books of the founders of their groups. To proceed, someone will say: 'Who are the Salaf and what are the written works of the Salafiyyah? The answer is: The Salaf are the companions, their successors and their successors. They are our predecessors and anyone who travels upon their way and methodology is a Salafi. As for the works of the Salafiyyah, then they are many. I shall mention some of them: Musnad of Imaam Ahmed, Saheeh Bukhaaree, Saheeh Muslim, The four Sunans (Abu Daawood, Trimidhee, Nasaa'eeand Ibn Maajah), The tafseer of Ibn Jareer at-Tabaree, The tafseer of al-Baghawee, The tafseer of Ibn Katheer, The Refutation of Imaam Daarimee against Bishr al-Mareesee, The Refutation of Imaam Ahmed against the Jahmiyyah, Creation of the Actions of the Servants by Imaam Bukhaaree, Ash-Sharee'ahby al-Aajuree, Al-Eemaan by Ibn Mandah, at-Tawheed by Ibn Mandah, At-Tawheed by Ibn Khuzaimah, As-Sunnah by Ahmad bin Hanbal, As-Sunnah by al-Khilaal, As-Sunnah by Abdullaah ibn Ahmed bin Hanbal, Al-Ibaanah by Ibn Battah, As-Sunnah by al-Barbahaaree, Sharh Usool I'tiqaadAhl is-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ahby al-Laalikaa'ee The books of Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allaah have mercy upon him - all of them, without exception and likewise the books of his student, Ibn al-Qayyim - may Allaah have mercy upon him The books of the scholars of the Salafi da'wahin the Najd such as Kitaab ut-Tawheed of Imaam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhaab and its explanations such as Tayseer al-Azeez al-Hameed and Fath ul-Majeed and Qurratu Uyoon il-Muwahhideen and Durar as-Sunniyyah and others besides them which are many and which have been written upon the way and methodology of those noble ones amongst the earliest ones who have passed by and those who came after them. When you have learnt this then know that I will now talk about two groups amongst those groups like I indicated to you previously, making one of them as a branch and the other a foundation (for the discussion of the other) or putting it in another way, making one of them the foundation so that the reader might understand, in light of it, the other group. For you now is the explanation thereof and upon Allaah is reliance (placed): The First Group: Jamaa'atut-Tableegh This group has a way and a methodology upon which it travels and fundamentals (principles) to which it returns and which it has named the six fundamentals and they are as follows: 1. Actualisation of the Kalimah: There is none deserving of worship except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah. 2. Salaat (prayer) performed with khushoo' and khudoo' (awe, humility and submission). 3. Knowledge along with Dhikr (Remembrance). 4. Honouring the Muslims. 5. Correction of the intention and its purification. 6. Going out in the path of Allaah. Beware - my noble brother - of these six fundamentals, look into them and reflect over the meaning of each fundamental. Then come with me so that I take some of these fundamentals and explain what they mean by them. Then we shall see after that: are they on the path of the Salaf in their understanding of these fundamentals, their implementation of them and in calling to them or not?! Before the discussion, it is necessary that you understand, my brother, that these six fundamentals have a secret word (or agenda). When you have understood it you will be able, by the permission of Allaah, to understand all the words and actions of this group. If you are now ready to understand these fundamentals and likewise this hidden agenda then come with me - may Allaah direct me and you to every good and turn away from me and you every evil. The hidden agenda O my brother is: Everything which causes or brings about separation or aversion/dislike or difference between two people (or parties) then it is cut off and abolished from the methodology of the group. Have you understood the hidden agenda? I want you to look again repeatedly with a good understanding. Look once again. Now, come with me so that we take one of the fundamentals of this group (and look into it) which is: The actualisation of the kalimah: There is none worthy of worship except Allaah. Do you know what the meaning of the actualisation of the kalimah: There is none worthy of worship except Allaah. The meaning of the actualisation of the kalimah: There is none worthy of worship except Allaah, is the actualisation of Tawheed with all its three types: Tawheed ul-Uloohiyyah, Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah and Tawheed ul-Asmaa was-Sifaat. Shaikh Abdur-Rahmaan bin Hasan bin Aal Shaikh - may Allaah have mercy upon him - said in Fath ul-Majeed: "His saying: Chapter: Whoever actualises Tawheed will enter Paradise without being held to account. I say: Its actualisation is: its purification and clarity from all the impurities of Shirk, Innovation and disobedience." A question my brother - if Allaah allows and if you will permit me - if this is the meaning of the actualisation of the kalimah then why do we differ from them then? Listen to the answer - after you have remembered the hidden agenda or secret word. Have you remembered? Then listen: Yes they do say: The first fundamental is the actualisation of the kalimah: There is none worthy of worship except Allaah alone, however what do they mean and intend by this actualisation? Their intent by its actualisation is speaking about Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah. Why? Because it does not cause any dislike/aversion or separation or difference between any two people among the muslims. As for talking about Tawheed ul-Asmaa was-Sifaat, then it causes separation, dislike/aversion, and differences because there are (amongst the muslims many groups including) the Ash'ariyyah the Maatureediyyah, the Jahmiyyah, the Hulooliyyah, the Ittihaadiyyah and the Salafiyyah. All of them differ with regard to this topic, Allaah'sNames and Attributes and the fundamental upon which this group (Jamaa'atut-Tableegh) stick to and travel upon which is the secret word or hidden agenda is that anything which causes aversion, separation and difference between two people then its ruling is that it should be removed and abolished from the methodology of the group. It is likewise for the second type of the types of Tawheed which is Tawheed ul-Uloohiyyah. Speaking about this matter is forbidden and its ruling in the methodology of the group is that it is cut off and abolished because it causes separation, aversion and difference. It is so because this one is a Salafi and this other one is a grave worshipper. As for the first, he does not allow setting out on a journey to graves or performing prayer by the grave or towards it and nor does he allow Tawaaf to be performed around it and nor making Tawassul by the righteous dead people and nor seeking help and sustenance from them and so on, in opposition to the other one to whom all of what has been mentioned is permissible, rather he thinks it is the essence of the religion. And this is why - my noble brother - when one of their leaders stands in order to exlplain this fundamental he does not say except: 'All praise is to Allaah who created us, gave us sustenance and has bestowed favours upon us' and so on, continuing with matters related to Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah only. My brother says: Why dont you explain to me another of their fundamentals. I say to him: With happiness, of course! And do I desire for you anything but goodness!? Come, let us take the third fundamental: Knowledge with Dhikr (Remembrance) I know and you know that knowledge is: 'Allaah said and His Messenger said and the Companions said', (in every matter) whether it is related to belief, acts of worship or dealings (with other people) or manners. But what is their intent by knowledge? They say: Knowledge is of two types: Ilm ul-Fadaa'il(Knowledge of the Virtues of Actions) and Ilm ul-Masaa'il(Knowledge of Matters of Fiqh). Have you remembered the secret word (or the hidden agenda)? I will remind you. Everything which causes or brings about separation or aversion/dislike or difference between two people (or parties) then it is cut off and abolished from the methodology of the group. Now let us return to their division: Knowledge is of two types, knowledge of the virtues and knowledge of the matters (of fiqh). They say: This (knowledge of the virtues) is for us (i.e. their group) and the knowledge of the matters is for the people of knowledge, all of you (i.e. the people who go out on khurooj with them) should seek it from the scholars of his own town (or country). Have you taken caution from this division of theirs? Why do they allow speaking about the knowledge of the virtues of the actions and forbid it with regard to matters of fiqh? In fact they request from those who go out with them to seek this knowledge from the scholars of their own towns and countries. It is because the first does not cause separation, aversion and differences in opposition to the second. My brother will you allow me to ask a question to see whether you have understood their secret word (or their hidden agenda) or not? The question is: Will they enjoin the good and forbid the evil? The answer is in light of the secret word (or hidden agenda): No. Why not? Because enjoining the good and forbidding the evil causes aversion and alienation - in their opinion - between the one who orders and the one who is being ordered. Therefore its ruling is that is removed from the methodology of the group. Another question: If this is so, how do they enjoin and forbid? The answer: They apply hadeeth and verses from the Qur'aanwhich exhort to the performance of that particular action which they are enjoining and which has been abandoned, or which exhort to the abandonment of that partcular action which is being committed, without every approaching the aspect of belief. They will say, for example, to the one who has left the prayer: "The Believers will prosper. Those who are humble and submissive in their prayers.." and they will also say: The Messenger of Allaah (sas) said: "There is no muslim servant who performs twelve rakahs of prayer for Allaah every day voluntarily, besides the obligatory except that Allaah builds a house for him in Paradise", this is the excellence of the voluntary prayers, how then would the excellence of the obligatory prayer be? And this is why when a disobedient one who goes out with them wishes to smoke a cigarette, they permit him to do so. In fact they even buy the cigarettes for him. Likewise for the one who drinks alcohol, they carry his vessel (container of alcohol) for him. And when one desires to shave his beard they give him the razor or go with him to the barber and so on. You will say: This is an exaggeration my brother! Then I say - may Allaah guide me and you - being informed is not like observing, so go to the books which have criticised them you will see the strangest of things. And if you refuse then I will mention some of their stories which show that the teaching of their foundations is done by the use of stories and which will explain some of their (false) interpretations. When they divide knowledge into knowledge of the virtues of the actions and knowledge of matters (of fiqh) and say to those who go out with them that the knowledge of the matters of fiqh should be sought from the scholars of their own town (or region) they are scared and fearful that these words should enter into the minds and hearts of these people. This is because if they learn they will leave the group and for this reason they make some obstacles which will prevent them from seeking the knowledge of the matters of fiqh and which will help them in seeking the knowledge of the virtues of the actions. So when they hear a verse of the Qur'�nor Ahaadeeth in which there is a mention of knowledge and its excellence they will reduce it to knowledge of the virtues of actions. Know - may Allaah show mercy to you - that they have two gatherings. A gathering on Tuesday and a gathering on Wednesday. The first gathering is for those who have come back from their khurooj. Those whom they wish to encourage to go out with them or whom they wish to create a certain impression upon are brought in the presence of those who have come back from khurooj. The second gathering is for the preparation for going out for four months. The ameer of that group will say to one of those who went out: How many days did you go out for? He will respond: I went out for four months in the path of Allaah. The ameer will respond: Maashaa'allaah Where did you spend them? He will respond: "A month in the Gulf states, twenty days in jungles of Africa, a month in Europe, a month in South America and a month in East Asia, India and Pakistan." The ameer of that gathering will say to him - and pay attention - : Maashaa'allaah you are a daa'iyah(a caller) and a caller is like the clouds which pass over mankind on their land and give them to drink in opposition to the scholars, since they resemble the springs and wells. When thirst touches you after a distance of a mile (on a journey) it will kill you before you come to that spring or well. In fact you will not drink from it because the bucket which is used to obtain the water will not be present. If you wish to drink you will need to get to the edge of the well, throw in the bucket and then pull it out until you are able to drink. Are you now aware of what has struck your soul - just as the souls of those who are listening would be jolted and struck? By what they have heard with regard to the excellence of the one who goes out and calls to Allaah over (and above) that of the one who is a scholar possessing knowledge. When one of them desires to sit for the purpose of seeking knowledge this story is mentioned so that this person now wishes he is like a cloud and not like a well (or a spring). I do not wish that you become confused with this story, therefore it is necessary to comment on its spuriousness and falsity, so I say and with Allaah is all success: Know - may Allaah direct me and you to every goodness and truth - that clouds do not cause except the herbage and greenery for the animals to grow. They do not cause except the seasonal herbage to grow. In fact if it rained upon a salt marsh or a swamp or if it rained at other than its proper time (for the land) it would not be of benefit. Therefore in those clouds there would be ruin and destruction. This is in opposition to the water of the wells and springs since the people's thirst is quenched from it, land is cultivated by them and the region in which there are wells and springs is full of life most of the time. This is because the people in that area cultivate the land, and from it they drink and from it they reap their harvest and so on. Furthermore, the one who is resident as well as the traveller on his path is benefitted from the wells and springs. It is the same for their animals, their plants or even for making a provision for their journey by storing some water in their waterskins or their vesicles/containers. So have you understood the difference? For you is another story so that you may gain some insight about them: One of them (the leaders) says, in the presence of those who have just started with them, to one of them who desires to seek knowledge of the Sharee'ah Where are you going to O so and so? He will say: I will go to seek knowledge. The other one will reply to him: And for what purpose? He will say: So that I know the halaal from the haraam. The other one will reply: "Subhaanallaah! You do not know the halaal from the haraam? Have you not heard the saying of the Prophet (sas): "Consult your heart even if people give you their opinion...." Subhaanallaah, until now you do not know the halaal from the haraam and yet many of the animals even know the halaal from the haraam. Do you not see that when you put your food in a place and then leave it the cat eats from it and when you return to it and you see the cat eating from it, if the cat sees you it will flee from you. On the other hand if you are sitting at a table and you place some food on your side it will come to you and eat besides you. The first knows that it has fallen into the haraam and that is why it ran away from you and the second knew that it had obtained what was halaal and that is why it ate with you. O my brother with a sound and balanced intellect, differentiate between the halaal and the haraam, 'consult your heart even if people give you their opinion'. O my brother, has this example and this glance (at them) made you satisfied?!! The response to this story is left for you. Take a third story: One of them says to whoever is listening to him, with the intention of encouraging and exhorting him to go out with them on khurooj and to abandon his land, his family, his children and his wealth and other things besides them: O my brother, when you put some sugar in a cup and then pour some tea into it and then drink it without stirring the sugar you will not taste the sweetness of the sugar. When you stir it you will taste its sweetness. This is just like the eemaan in the heart of every human being, it is present and a person is not able to taste its sweetness until after it has been moved and stirred by going out on khurooj with the jamaa'ah My noble brother I think you will be quick in rejecting this story and this example by saying: Subhaanallaah, eemaan is present in the heart of every person, until it is present in even the Hypocrites, the Disblievers and the Apostates. And you will also say: Subhaanallaah, if that is so then whoever does not go out (away from) the scholars, the students of knowledge, the callers to Allaah, the general people from among the men and women will not taste the sweetness of eemaan. You will also say: Subhaanallaah. Did not the Prophet (sas) say: "There are three qualities which if found in a person will taste the sweetnes of eemaan: That Allaah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else besides them, that he loves a person not loving him except for the sake of Allaah and that he dislikes to return to kufr after Allaah has saved him from it just as he hates to be thrown into the Fire." [Muslim] I will finish with the next story my loved one (for the sake of Allaah),so that you can see how the Sharee'ahand the mind of the listener is being played with: The ameer of the khurooj will, on the morning of Thursday, divide the people who are going out with him into two groups. The first group will stay in the mosque to form a circle for doing dhikr repetitively until all of the other sections of the second group return to the mosque. The second group is itself divided into smaller groups composed of three or more individuals. They are to go out to the neighbouring houses calling the people to be present and participate in the programme of the jamaa'ahin the mosque and to attend the speech which will take place after Maghrib until Isha. But before they all depart and while all of them are still in the mosque, the ameer tells them a educational story so he says: One time a jamaa'ahwent out to such and such a place and after they had been divided into two groups, one of them remained in the mosque and the second group, after it had been further divided into smaller groups, went to the houses neighbouring the mosque. Every time they went passed by a door of a house they did not find a suitable reply nor any good response (to their invitation). They did not cease in going to each door and (each time) they were not responded to. Then some of them said to the others: Your have lost your eemaan O loved ones and therefore everyone has lost his eemaan and does not see anything wrong with that. Then one of them understood what this one meant and said: Maybe our brothers whom we left in the mosque have become unmindful of Allaah'sremembrance. Then they all say together: Let us go and see, so when they enter the mosque and upon their brothers they found that they had (indeed) become heedless of Allaah'sremembrance. O my brother, has this struck your heart and your mind? Just as it would strike the heart and mind of the ones listening to it. If you were going out with them and they made you remain in the circle in the mosque, and then you heard this story do you think you will become heedless of Allaah'sremembrance? Or will you strive in it so that perhaps Allaah will grant success to your brothers who are outside in the second group that was formed until they return with their captives?? There is no doubt that this is what would occur especially if the saying of the Messenger (sas) was mentioned afer that story: "Never do a people gather in a house from among the houses of Allaah reciting the book of Allaah and studying together except that tranquility descends upon them and mercy covers them, the angels surround them and Allaah mentions them to those who are near to Him." [Muslim] So the people in the mosque are like an electric generator and the second group who go out are like a light bulb at the end of the electric wire. When the electric generator is busy and occupies itself that light is illuminated and when it diminishes that light is extinguished. Have you heard the likes of this my brother? And have you seen such reasoning - which was never thought of or imagined by the best of generations (the first three generations) - which is like this reasoning?!! I did not mention this except with the desire of warning you and making you aware from such mockery and deviation. So beware O seeker of the Truth, the correct, the good and the straight and upright. I have already informed you before that I did not intend to make an extensive study of this jamaa'ah Rather I mentioned it so that you may be able to understand another jamaa'ahbecause it's (deviation) is more subtle and hidden than this one. So prepare yourself for understanding it well. If you wish relax for a short time and then come with me so that I come to know, along with you, the objective of this group, the means of actualising its goal, exposing this jamaa'ahssecret word (or hidden agenda) and the key to its secret sign, discussing (contesting) its ideas and thought, relying upon Allaah in all of this first and foremost and then upon the books of these people, their statements and their tapes secondly and then upon the statements of those who abandoned them after they used to be with them thirdly The goal of this group is to bring about a jamaa'ahof (all) muslims and from amongst their midst a leader. Before I acquaint you with the name of this group you will say: Does this jamaa'ahhave any ways or means by which it actualises what it aspires or inclines to? And I will respond to you with 'Yes'. And I shall soon mention these ways to you in short first and then I will return to them - with the help of Allaah and his success - with a detailed explanation, which is healing and raises and repels every doubt/confusion in your soul, if Allaah wills. Are you then prepared to listen? Listen then to what is thrown at you of proof and evidence. From my reading of the books and magazines of these people and listening to their cassettes and meeting many of those who have abandoned them (after being with them) and reading the refutations against them I have concluded that this jamaa'ahhas three chief ways/means for actualising their objective or goal and these are: 1. Equity and Justice 2. Understanding the state of affairs 3. Firmness/Establishment. And these three ways are presented, to those who are called by them and those who read their material, in the most generalised of ways. And this is the secret word (or hidden agenda) with them - just like that of the TABLIGH which was explained to you earlier - which would make possible and feasible for them success (in) uniting between the one who agrees with them and the one who disagrees with them. And when this is achieved the jamaa'ahof muslims which is their aim is formed. The first way is entering all the muslim groups into one single jamaa'ahto which they give the name 'Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah and others call it 'Al-Qutubiyyah' The second way is to raise the level of their callers and and leaders to the level of scholars and leaders (of the muslims) and putting down, diminishing the level and position of the scholars (in truth) with the claim that they do not understand the state of affairs. The third is to propagate and spread their rumours, speeches, ideas and concepts making the people think thereby that they are the people of firmness/strength and at the same time for repelling the criticism and refutation of their jamaa'ah individuals within it and those who call to it, even if this criticism or refutation is the pure truth. When that which has been mentioned has become clear to you my noble brother then there is no harm in that we proceed in order to look at every one of their ways/means with evidence and proof. However, (not after) we have mentioned their secret word (or hidden agenda) and that is: Any way/mean, idea, statement for which it is desired that it is spread amongst people, then it is essential to spread it in such a generalized manner so that all stop to (and pay heed) to it - both the one who agrees and the one who differs.

Assalamu Alaikum. The Tabligh Jamaat is in fact a work of this ummmah. Unlike other groups this is'nt one. In Fact this was ordered to Maulana Elias (RA) in a dream by the Prophet SAW. Maulana Elias a direct descendant of Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) born in a pious family generation of Scholars and graduated from the world's top Madressa Darul Uloom Deoband who was a waliallah, not only a waliallah but an Abdal, not only that but the Kutub: the Amir of all the waliallah's and Abdal's in the world. This was the brief background of Maulana Elias (RA). Those that do not have sufficient knowledge will never understand. Remember if their is effort being made and it is Haqq (the Truth) that will spread i.e. Allah will make it spread. Alhamdulillah the work is spreading like wildfire all accross the globe. Millions of people muslim non-muslim alike are benefitting from this beatiful work of Tabligh. The work of Tabligh has thousands of open and hidden benefits to everyone. We may not know of it but it is happening. The principals of this work is based on the teachings of the Qur'an and sunnah though it may not appear to be unless looked closely and with sufficient research. The work is the closest to the work of our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Sahaabah. A mirror image and the closest you can get in this day and age. May Allah SWT give all of us the ability to understand this work and give us the ability to go out in his noble path and carry out this work. Ameen. www.ask-imam.com

WHATS WRONG WITH YOU WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE AFTER TABLIGI JAMAT. ALL THEY'RE TRYING IS TO BRING SO CALLED DISTRACTED MUSLIMS BACK TO MASJID. I SEE NO HARM IN THAT. BY THE WAY YOU SHOULD BE MORE CONCERN ABOUT THE REAL EVIL LIKE QADIANIES AND EVIL MEDIA IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT DOING ITS DAWA IN ITS FULL FORCES IN OUR HOUSES. ITS SHAMEFUL TO SAY THAT I LEARNED THE FARZ GHUSAL FIRST TIME IN MY 20's WHEN I MET TABLIGI JAMAT FELLAS. I NEVER SPENT WEEKS OR 40 DAYS WITH THEM BUT I LEARNED A LOT IN JUST 3 DAYS WHICH I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED YEARS AGO. I PRAY TO ALMIGHTY ALLAH THAT HE BLESS AND PREGRESS TABLIGI JAMAT. THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB WITHOUT SPREADING FITNA AND VOILENCE. MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH THEM WHOEVER SPREADING THE NAME OF ALMIGHTY. ASLAMOALEIKUM

As salaam u alykum, Write now the muslims have absolute now idea what they were created for and what they are mean'tto be doing. Islam is such a religion that every single person has to worry about the ummah and show the right path to muslims & Non- muslims. For this our ullema and elders came out with the work of tabligh, which is absolutely safe and easy, no harm can be done by going in jamaat or spending some time with a jamaat. Going in tabligh means going to refresh ones iman like, You learn new things, Teach other people what you know and bring yourself and others on to the right path. Let me give you an example: You know these non-muslims they have made us houses, cars, water pipes, mobile phones, Computers, Schools and eduacational places in this world but what have we done for them in the next world (Think about it they going to die as non-muslims most probably unless Allah wills to give them imaan before their death), but Allah wants us to teach the true religion because then we can get rewarded but if we go to a non-muslim and start telling him about Islam he will say,"Wait wait wait, before you carry on i'djust like to say look at your muslims first, why, because for example in islam you are not allowed to listen to music but look at muslims they have full blast music on". So this reason ullema and elders in the world are doing the work of tabligh. Is their anything in tabligh or jamaat that is against the Shar'iah I will leave you to answer. Jazakallah hu khairan Wassalaam

TJ may be sincere in their efforts. Innamal a`malu binniyyaat says our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. Intentions aren't always just enough. The Hawarij also had good intentions. Otherwise why be so harsh on themselves with shariah laws? ie any person committing a sin is a kaafir? Tell me was the lady called Mother Theresa with ill intent? I forget, but i am sure there will be someonme out there that will be able to verify this for me, but a sahabee during the time of the tabieen was waiting outside the door of a knowledgeable sahabee and there were two tabieen there waiting already. when the sahabee that was beeing waited upon exited his house, the waiting sahabee asked him, (roughly translated) "I was waiting for you so i could have your opinion upon what i saw at the masjid." and started relating to the learned sahabee that he saw a group of people sitting in a circle with one person upon them telling them to say LA ILAHA ILLA-ALLAH 100 times and ALHAMDULILLAH 100 times and so on. And that these people sitting had pebbles with which they were counting their "dhikr" to. The learned sahabee stated, (roughly translated), "couldn't you have said 'count your sins with those stones and i will guarantee you that you will not lose and khayr that you have committed'?" and the waiting sahabee said (rt), "It looked like something good what they were doing, i thought i would consult you first." When they arrived at the masjid, the learned sahabee stood over the sitting group and stated to them what he stated tho the waiting sahabee. and they said (rt) "oh such and such (i am embarrassed that i cannot recall these sahabees names, please forgive me), we are only hoping to appease Allah Azza Wa Jall by these actions." Then the learned sahabee (i think he was Abdullah ibn Mas`ood, Allah'u A`lam) said, "many of those who wished to please Allah Subhanahoo Wa Ta`aalaa have earnt his wrath! Are you a better people that the ummah of Rasulullah that befor his spoon is broken you do things neither he nor his followers did?" and the narrator of this incident said that he saw the people thath were making "dhikr" were on the side of the khawarij during the battle of nahrawan. I think you get my drift? While so much doubt as to the rightness of the TJ's actions is obvious, why risk it? Tableegh is not only done by going on khurooj! It is done by LIVING ISLAM also!!! Sincere Muslims taht want to go on an excursion, please, be my guest! Otherwise, don't too caught up in one aspect of Islam! May Allah Guide us all, especialy me. May Allah allow us to be raised on Yawm'ul Qiyamah under the banner Liwau Hamd, especially me! Ameen! Wal Hamdu lillallhi Rabbi'l `Alameen!

As salamo aleikom wa RahmatoAllah wa barakato wa marfirato Amma ba'd; First : If you do da'wa, let me then say to you; there are 6 miljard adams and eves on this earth and they ain't all arabs or persians.There are a lot of people of other religions. Does the tableegh ever go to a synagoge or churh to do da'wa? What kind of forum is this? It looks like a Jamaah At-Tableegh forum. In that case I will raech a lot of tableeg InshaAllaah. Wake up , stop following your desires. May Allaah guide us to the straight way. That of the Quraan and Sunnah of our beloved messenger with wisdom and honesty. How many sekts will there be? Manyyyyyy. Only one will be in paradise. Read VERY CARREFULLY AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU SAY OR WRITE ANYTHING!!!! May Allaah provide us with strong scholars, that are upon the haq , that they may lead us to the right and help us grow and keep our duties to Allaah. Not to forget that we may learn how to do da'wa upon the way of the profets. I love you for the sake of Allah my creator, sustainer and master. All Praise is for Allaah alone, and prayer and salutations upon the Messenger of Allaah and upon his family and companions and those who follow his guidance. As what follows/to proceed: Some papers reached me containing statements of the two Salafee Allaamahs� Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Shaykh Ibn al-�Uthaymeen which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh circulate amongst the ignorant and those who do not know the reality of their false manhaj and �aqeedah. And the reality is that the statements of the two Shaykhs supports them. So the statement of Shaykh Ibn Baaz is based upon a report from a Tableeghee man, or one who is sympathetic to them, which was narrated to Shaykh Ibn Baaz contrary to that which they are upon and depicted them contrary to their true nature, and confirms that which we say the statement of Shaykh Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah): "�and no doubt, certainly the people are in severe need of such good meetings gathering upon the remembrance of Allaah and inviting to holding steadfast to Islaam and applying it�s teachings and ridding the Tawheed (of Allaah) of (all) innovations and superstitions..." [see his fatwa, reference number 1007, dated 17/08/1407 A.H which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh now circulate]. So this (fatwa) suggests that the narrator mentioned in his report that certainly that this Jamaa�ah calls to holding steadfast to Islaam, applying it�s teachings and ridding the Tawheed (of Allaah) of (all) innovations and superstitions. So, as a result, the Shaykh has praised them. And if the narrator of the report spoke the truth and depicted them upon their reality and explained the truth of their false manhaj, then we would not have seen from Imaam Ibn Baaz, the Salafee, the monotheist, except impugnation towards them and warning against them and their innovations, as he had done in the last fatwa regarding them attached to this one (above). And in the statement of Allaamah Ibn al-�Uthaymeen as to that which supports them, refer to his statement as follows: "Remark: If the difference (of opinion) is in �aqeedah issues, then it is obligatory to correct (this) and that which opposes the way of the Salaf. For indeed, it is obligatory to detest it and warn those who tread (the path of) that which opposes the methodology of the Salaf in this aspect. [See Fataawa Ibn al-�Uthaymeen - Volume 2, Page 939-944, similar to that which the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh distribute]. And no doubt the difference of opinion amongst the Salafees, the Ahlus-Sunnah wat-Tawheed and the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh is an extreme and profound difference in �aqeedah and manhaj. For they are upon the way of the Maatureediyyah, those who have innovated in the attributes of Allaah and who are from the Soofiyyah in their worship and manners, giving the oath of allegiance and from that, these sects uphold (the belief) in al-Hulool and Wahdatil-Wujood and shirk with the graves and other than that from (their) falsehood. And without a doubt the noble Shaykh Ibn al-�Uthaymeen does not know, and if he were to know this about them, then certainly he would have denounced them for the falsehood (upon which they are on) and would have severely warned against them. He would certainly have trodden the Salafee path with them just as both his Shaykhs, Imaam Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem and Imaam Ibn Baaz had done. And just as Shaykh al-Albaanee, Shaykh �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee, Shaykh Fowzaan, Shaykh Hamood at-Tuwayjaree, Shaykh Taqqee ad-Deen al-Hilaalee, Shaykh Sa�d al-Husayn, Shaykh Sayf ar-Rahmaan, Shaykh Muhammed Aslam had (all) done with their great publications, which clarified the falsehood of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and their danger and that which they are upon in their false �aqeedah and manhaj so the serious student of knowledge should refer to them. And Shaykh �Abdur-Rahmaan al-Misree reverted (back) from having written in praise of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and he admitted his mistakes to me. As for Yoosuf al-Malaahee, then he is amongst those who spent many years with them, then wrote a book about them which explained their falsehood and corrupt �aqeedah, then sadly he reverted back from the truth and then wrote another book about them. His first book assists him and that which the scholars of manhaj wrote about them refutes his falsehood; and the (most) important rule is (in the science of al-Jarh wat-Ta�deel) is that al-Jarh takes precedence over and above at-Ta�deel. So it nullifies all praise from anyone, even if the Tableeghees uphold the correct Islaamic rules (teachings) and trod the path of the people of knowledge and advice for Islaam and the Muslims. Written by Shaykh Rabee bin Haadee al-Madkhalee/ 29 Muharram � 1421 A.H The final fatwa of Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz in warning against the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh In the Name of Allaah, All Compassionate, All Merciful His excellency, Shaykh �Abdul-�Azeez bin Baaz (rahima-hullaah) was asked about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, so the questioner asked: Your excellency, we hear about the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and that which their da�wah entails. So would you advise me to join this Jamaa�ah (group). I anticipate your guidance and advice, and may Allaah reward you immensely. So the Shaykh responded by saying: Whoever invites to (the path of) Allaah, then he is a muballigh (one who conveys the message (of Islaam)), (as the hadeeth mentions): ((Convey from me, even if it be a (single) Aayah)); However, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh (originally) from India have many deviations. They have some aspects of bid�ah and shirk, so it is not permissible to go (out) with them, except for a person who has knowledge and goes (out) with them to disapprove of what they are upon and to teach them (the truth). If, however, he goes (out) to follow and adhere to them, then no. That is because they have deviations, mistakes and lack of knowledge. However, if there was a Jamaa�ah doing tableegh other than them, from the people of knowledge, then (it is permissible to) go out with them for daw�ah purposes. If there was a person of knowledge who goes out with them to enlighten and guide them, along with teaching them such that they leave their falsehood and embrace the way of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah, (then that is good). [So, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and those who sympathise with them, will benefit from this fatwa, illustrating the reality of their �aqeedah and Manhaj and the writings of their scholars whom they blindly follow] [This was extracted from the tape: �Fatwa Samaahatush-Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz concerning the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh� which was published in Ta�if about two years before the Sahykh�s death. The tape refutes the cover-up of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and the old statement of the Shaykh which was published before their reality and manhaj was made clear to him. The Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and the Ikhwaan are amongst the 72 sects His Excellency, Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (Rahima-ullaah) was asked: Question: May Allaah grant you the best (of His favours). In the hadeeth of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam), relating to the splitting of the Ummah, he says: ((�and my Ummah shall split into 72 sects�)). So, is the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, with what they have in terms of shirk and innovations; and also the Jamaa�ah al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen, with what they have in terms of partisanship and revolting/rebelling against the leaders and lack of obedience; from the 72 sects? So, he (the Shaykh) responded, may Allaah forgive him and bestow upon him His immense mercy: They are from the 72 (sects). Whoever opposes the �aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah enters the fold of the 72 (sects). The meaning of the Prophet�s (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) statement ((My Ummah)) is: the Ummah of Ijaabah, i.e. the Ummah of response; those who responded to the Prophet�s call and revealed their allegiance to him. And the meaning of 73 sects: the victorious sect which adhered to him and was upright in their religion and 72 of those sects � amongst them the kuffaar, the sinners and various innovators. So, the questioners asked: Are these two groups (Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh and Jamaa�ah al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen) from amongst the 72 sects? He responded: Yes, they are from the amongst the 72 sects, along with the Murji�ah and other than them; the Murji�ah and the Khawaarij � some of the people of knowledge regard the Khawaarij from amongst the kuffaar, out of the fold of Islaam although amongst the 72 sects. [Taken from the recording of the Shaykh�s lessons in Sharh al-Muntaqaa in Ta�if approximately 2 years or less before his death]. The ruling regarding going out with the Jaam�ah at-Tableegh His excellency, Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) was asked: Question: "I went out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh to India and Pakistan. We used to congregate and pray in masaajid within which there were graves and I heard that the salaah in a masjid within which there is a grave is invalid. What is your opinion of my salaah and should I repeat them? What is the ruling about going out with them to these places?" Response: "Indeed, the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh do not have real knowledge pertaining to issues of �aqeedah so it is not permissible to go out with them except for the one who has real knowledge of the correct �aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah. In this, he can enlighten them, advise them and co-operate with them in good because they are active in their affairs. However, they are in need of more knowledge from those who can enlighten them amongst the scholars of Tawheed and Sunnah. May Allaah grant everyone understanding of the religion and firmness upon it. As for the salaah in the masaajid within which are graves, then it is incorrect and it is obligatory upon you to repeat all that you did (in those masaajid) due to that which the Prophet (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) said: ((Allaah has cursed the Jews and the Christians who have taken the graves of their Prophets� as places of worship)) � it�s authenticity is agreed upon. Also, his (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa Sallam) statement: ((Indeed those before you used to take the graves of their Prophets� and pious people as places of worship, so do not take the graves as places of worship, for certainly I prohibit you from that)), transmitted by Muslim in his Saheeh. And the ahaadeeth on this subject are numerous - and with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammed, his family and his companions." [Fatwa dated 2/11/1414 A.H] Regarding Shaykh �Abdul �Azeez Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) statement: "Therefore, it is not permissible to go out with them except for the one who has knowledge and understanding of the correct �aqeedah upon which the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa�ah are upon, such that he can enlighten them, advise them and co-operate with them in good." I say: May Allaah bestow mercy upon the Shaykh for if they had accepted the advice and guidance from the people of knowledge, then there would not be any harm in going out with them. However, the actual reality is that they do not accept advice, nor do they leave their falsehood for the severity of their allegiance and adhering to their desires. If they accepted the advice of the scholars, then they would have left their false manhaj and trodden the path of the Ahlut-Tawheed and Sunnah. If the matter is like that, then likewise it is not permissible to go out with them as the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih is built upon the Book and the Sunnah, warning against the people of bid�ah and against mixing and sitting with them. This is because in this (i.e. going out with them) is adding to their numbers and assisting and granting them strength in propogating their falsehood, and that is misleading (in the name of) Islaam and also misleading the Muslims and (ultimately) deceiving them (the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) and assisting them in sin and wrongdoing. Fatwa of the Noble Shaykh, Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem Aal-ash-Shaykh in warning against the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh From Muhammed Ibn Ibraaheem to his excellency Prince Khaalid Ibn Sa�ood, leader of the Royal Court, as-Salaam �Alaykum wa-Rahmatullaahe wa-Barakaatuhu, to proceed: I received the noble correspondence of your excellency (No.36/4/5-D on 21/1/1382 A.H) and that which it contains of the request directed to his excellency, the king, from Muhammed Ibn �Abdul-Haamid al-Qaadiree, Shaah Ahmad Nooraanee, �Abdus-Salaam al-Qaadiree and Sa�ood Ahmad Dahlawee regarding their request for assistance in the project of their organisation which they have named (Kulliyyatud-Daw�ah wat-Tableegh al-Islaamiyyah) - and also the pamphlets that have been enclosed with their request. I inform your excellency that there is no good in this organisation for certainly it is an organisation of innovation and falsehood which I have discovered by reading their pamphlets which were attached to their requests. We found it to comprise of falsehood, innovation and the inviting to the worshipping of graves and shirk. Quite simply, something which (we) cannot remain quiet about. Therefore, we shall (inshaa-Allaah) put forward a refutation revealing their misguidance and falsehood. We ask Allaah to assist his religion and make high His Word, was-Salaam �Alaykum wa-Rahmatullaahe wa-Barakaatuhu [S-M-405 on 29/1/1382 A.H]. Fatwa of the Noble Shaykh Muhammed Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee regarding the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh He (rahima-hullaah) was asked: "What is your opinion concerning the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh? Is it permissible for a student of knowledge or other than him to go out with them under the guise of inviting to (the path of) Allaah?" So he responded: The Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh does not uphold the manhaj of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa sallam) and that which our Salaf as-Saalih were upon. And if the situation was such, then it is not permissible to go out with them because it defies our manhaj in calling to the manhaj of the Salaf as-Saalih. So in the path of inviting to Allaah, then an �aalim (one who is knowledgeable) can go out with them but as for those (ignorant � without knowledge) who go out with them, then it is obligatory upon them to remain in their countries and (study Islaam) seek knowledge in their masaajid until there graduates from amongst them people of knowledge who hold study circles inviting to the path of Allaah As long as the situation is like that, it is upon the student of knowledge to invite these people (those from Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) to study the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah and invite people to it. And the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh, with respect to da�wah to the Book and the Sunnah, do not intend by it a starting point, rather they consider that to be a divided call (da�wah)/approach; And because of this, they most resemble the Jamaa�ah of al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen. They say their da�wah is based upon the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah, however this is mere idle talk for certainly they have no �aqeedah upon which they are united (which unites them) � so you find some are Maatureedee, others are Ash�aree, whilst others are Soofee and even some who have no madhhab (affiliation to any particular ideology). This is because their da�wah is built upon amassing (the people), then gathering together and culturising/instructing them, and in reality they do not really have any culture. More than half a century has passed and there has not appeared from amongst them a scholar. As for us, then we say instruct them, then gather together, such that the gathering together is based upon a foundation in which there is no doubt. So the da�wah of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh is that of the Soofiyyah, they call to good manners, as for correcting the differing �aqeedah of the group, then they do not exert themselves one iota. This is because they believe this will cause differences (and splitting apart). It came to pass that a brother, Sa�d al-Husayn had much correspondence with the leader of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh in India or Pakistan and it became clear from that they acknowledge (belief in) intercession and seeking help (from other than Allaah) and many other such things. And they require their people (members) to make bay�ah (oath of allegiance) based upon four issues: amongst them the Naqshbandiyyah methodology. So it is upon every tableeghee (one who ascribes to the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh) to make bay�ah of these fundamentals (issues). A questioner may ask: Indeed this group has corrected its faults (returned to Allaah) as a result of the efforts of many individuals and quite possibly many non-Muslims have accepted Islaam at their hands. Is this not sufficient (proof) for the permissibilty of going out with them and participating in that which they call to? So we say: Indeed we know these words and hear them a lot and know them to emanate from the Soofiyyah! For example, there is a Shaykh whose �aqeedah is incorrect and does not know anything about the Sunnah. Instead they deceitfully take from the wealth of the people, so together with this, many open sinners seek forgiveness from them! So every group which invites to good, then it is imperative they should be in adherence (to the Qur.aan and the Sunnah), and (this) our approach is pure, so what are they (others) calling to? Are they calling to adherence to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu �alayhe wa sallam) and the ;aqeedah of the Salaf as-Saalih, abandoning blind following of the madhhabs to such an extent that they adhere to the Sunnah over and above their madhhab!? So the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh do not have a knowledge-based (manhaj), rather, their manhaj is according to the place where they are to be found, so they change their "colours" to suit themselves. [al-Fataawa al-Imaaraatiyyah of al-Albaanee]. Fatwa of the noble Shaykh, �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee regarding the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh The Shaykh was asked regarding going out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh to remind the people of the Greatness of Allaah. So the Shaykh said: That which is the case, is that they are innovators and those who adhere to the manhaj of the Qadariyyah and other than them and their going out is not (regarded as) in the Path of Allaah, rather it is in the path of Illiyaas. They do not invite to the Book (of Allaah) and nor the Sunnah, rather they invite to Illiyaas, their Shaykh in Bangladesh. As for going out with them with the intention to invite to the path of Allaah, then that is (regarded as) going out in the path of Allaah but not that which is going out with the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh. And I know of the Jamaa�ah at-Tableegh from a long time and they are innovators wherever they may be; Egypt, Israel, America, Saudi Arabia and all of them attach themselves to their Shaykh Illiyaas. [Fataawa wa Rasaa.il Samaahhtu �Abdur-Razzaaq �Afeefee, Volume 1, Page 174]. Fatwa Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan The noble Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan was asked: Question: What is your opinion concerning those who travel outside the Kingdom to give da�wah whilst they have never studied/sought knowledge. They encourage this and make odd statements firmly believing that whoever goes out in the path of Allaah for da�wah then Allaah will assist them with "inspirations/revelations" and they also believe that having knowledge is not a condition to do so. And you know that one who travels outside the Kingdom will find differing madhaahib and religions/sects with questions which shall be posed to the one giving da�wah. Is it not your opinion, O Shaykh, regarding the one who travels (outside the Kingdom) in the path of Allaah, that he should be appropriately equipped so that he can face the people, and especially in East Asia where they are actively against the da�wah of Shaykh Muhammed Ibn �Abdul-Wahhaab? I request an answer to my question such that benefit can be gained. Response: Going out in the path of Allaah is not the sort of going out which is implied today. Going out in the path of Allaah (really means) going out for war. As for that which they call going out nowadays, then this is an innovation which is not mentioned on the authority of any of the Salaf. And going out calling to Allaah is not specific to any particular day(s) rather one should call to Allaah according to circumstances and abilities, without specifying a group (with which to go out with) nor 40 days or more or less. And similarly from that which is obligatory upon the caller is to have knowledge. It is not permissible to call to Allaah whilst one is ignorant (lacking knowledge). Allaah (Subhaanahu wa-Ta'Aala) says: {Say: This is my way, I invite to Allaah with sure knowledge�}, [Soorah Yoosuf, Aayah 108]. i.e. upon (sound) knowledge, because it is imperative the caller knows what he is calling to from that which is: waajib (obligatory), mustahab (recommended), muharram (impermissible) and makrooh (disliked) and also knows what is shirk, sinning, kufr (disbelief), fisq (open sinning) and knows the (different) levels and the manner in which to forbid and discourage. And going out whilst one is busy seeking knowledge is not befitting because seeking knowledge is an obligation and is not achieved except by learning/studying and this is from the evil and ignorant ways of the misguided Soofees because any action without knowledge leads to misguidance.

Some of the main topics discussed in this Bayan (lecture) by Maulana Saad in Chicago Ijtema 2000 All the things which are taking place are not because of the means of this world, but because of order of Allah Jallelaalahu. All the conditions are dependent on the Aamaal of the human being. The outcome of Aamaal depends on the quality of Imaan (Belief). Aamaal gets corrected through Imaan (Beliefs), and not through Asbaab (Means). Many previous nations got failed because of their belief on Asbaabs (Means). Prophets came to correct the beliefs and Aamaal. The summary of Kalimah is to purify the heart from ghair. People seeks greatness in the Asbaab (Means), and Allah shows His greatness more without the Asbaabs (Means) than with the means which are present. All are getting from the treasures of Allah (swt). A person who seeks Aakhirat gets in both world, whereas a person who seeks only in this world loose everything in Aakhirat. Without firm belief it is difficult to do any good Amal. Imaan develops the desire to please Allah Jallelaalahu. All the darkness and misdeed of this world is because of Beliefs in the Asbaab. Difficulties in doing Aamaal is only because of wrong Beliefs. Today, stories of Sahabas has become as if those actions were possible only by sahabas and is not possible by today's Muslims. Aamaal correct all the conditions in both the world. It is wrong to think that Aamaal is only for Aakhirat and Asbaab (means) are for this worldly life. Allah (swt) says, by Imaan and Aamaal-e-saleha, the first benefit will be rewards in this world and than the reward in Aakhirat. Imaan brings peace, which in turn encourage to do Aamaal. Asbaab (Means) without Imaan bring worries and distrust in this world. The Kalimah with Iqlaas will prevent a Muslim from Haram. Kalimah recited with Iqlaas will make a Muslim to enter Jannath. Sahaba Ikraam are examples for us in both Imaan and Aamaal. With the beliefs in Asbaabs, all the misdeeds of Asbaab comes into existence. Dawat brings Imaan, and Imaan develops Aamaal. Allah gets pleased by correct Aamaal and in return all the conditions will be corrected. The complete Deen can be learned by seeing people following complete Deen. Seeing people following partial Deen will bring the belief of partial Deen, which is wrong. We have to compare with Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) Aamaal, than we can know the amount of deficiency in our Aamaal. Difficulty to follow total deen has two main reasons, one is Yaqeen (Beliefs) in Asbaab and second is the surrounding environment. Effort of Dawat removes all the difficulties of Environment (Society), and in return will make it easy to do Aamaal. Two main reasons of Dawat are to Correct beliefs regarding Imaan and Asbaab. By Aamaal, Imaam increase only when one negate the Beliefs of Asbaab. Sahabas use to call each other to discuss about Imaan. Weakness in Imaan will divert a person toward beliefs in Ghair. The purpose of giving Dawat is to prepare people for the cause of Dawat. The most common practice in sahabas life, was the practice of Dawat. Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) has been sent towards all humans and Jinns. Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) taught Sahabas about Deen and also efforts of Deen. The responsibilities of Nabuwat (Prophethood) has been transferred to the Ummat. The things we want to build in ourselves, we have to keep on telling those things to others. To REVIVE the effort of Dawat is the GIST for the correction of all human beings. Human beings are mines and treasures of Qualities and excellence. By the effort of Dawat we have to change all these treasures and excellence towards the real purpose of life.

The Great Muslim of 20th Century Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Sahab Kandahlawi(RAH) Maulana Muhammad Ilyas, the founder of the Tablighi Jama�at of South Asian subcontinent, is arguably one of the most influential, yet least well-known , figures of the twentieth century Islam. Despite his enormous contribution towards the development of a powerful grass root Islamic Da�wah movement, Mawlana Ilyas has not received much attention in the literature on modern Islamic movements. Most of the Western, and even Muslim, scholarships have remain occupied with the more spectacular and dramatic manifest ions of Islamic revivalist upsurge. The available literature on Maulana Ilyas and his Tablighi movement is mostly in Urdu and that too consists mainly of inspirational works by its leaders and devotional writings by its followers and supporters. Mawlana Ilyas was born in 1885 in a small town in the United Province of British India in a family of religious scholars. He received his early religious education at home and later went to the famous center of Islamic education in Deoband where he studied the Qur�an, Hadith, Fiqh and other Islamic sciences under the early Deoband luminaries. After completing his education at Deoband, Mawlana Ilyas took up a teaching position at another famous Madarsah Mazaharul Uloom in Saharanpur (U.P., India) It was at this point in his life that Mawlana Ilyas became aware of the "dismal Islamic situation" in the Mewat region near Delhi where majority of Muslims were living a life that had very little to do with Islamic teachings and practices. Mawlana Ilyas sent several of his disciples to Mewat to survey the situation and later himself undertook many Da�wah trips there. Mawlana Ilyas met Mewati Muslims who could not even recite Shahadah and who had not prayed even once in their life because they did not know how to pray. He saw Muslims greeting each other in a typical Hindu manner; some had even adopted Hindu deities and visited Hindu temples to participate in devotional practices. Mawlana Ilyas fully aware of the difficult task ahead was, nevertheless, determined to bring the Meo Muslims back to the fold of true Islam. In the early 1920s, he prepared a team of young Madrasa graduates from Deoband and Saharanpur and sent them to Mewat to establish a network of Masajid and Madrasas throughout the region. He soon realized, however, that the Madrasa ulama trained in the Deoband tradition were simply reproducing their prototypes and had no significant impact on society at large. Mawlana Ilyas concluded that these Madrasas were ill-equipped to produce Muslim preachers who would be willing to go door to door and remind people of their Islamic obligations. These institution were good only for producing religious functionaries, not Da�wah workers. It was because dissatisfaction with the Madrasas that Mawlana Ilyas resigned from a prestigious teaching position at Madrasa Mazaharul Uloom in Saharanpur and came to Basti Nizamuddin in the old quarters of Delhi to begin his Da�wah. The Tablighi movement was born in this place in 1926. Basti Nzamuddin became his permanent residence as well as the headquarter of the Tablighi movement. The new movement met with dramatic success in relatively short period of time, thanks to Mawlana Ilyas�s utmost devotion, untiring efforts and sincerity of purpose. As a result many Muslims joined Mawlana Ilyas to preach the message of Islam in every town and village of Mewat. The rapid success of his efforts can be seen from the fact that the first Tablighi conference held in November 1941 in Mewat was attended by 25,000 people many of them had walked on foot for ten to fifteen miles to attend the conference. Sayyid Abul A�la Mawdudi, the founder of the Jama�at-e-Islami paid glowing tribute to the spectacular successes of the Da�wah efforts of Mawlana Ilyas in Mewat and elsewhere in India and described the Tablighi movement as a major step toward the Islamization of Indian Muslim society. Mawlana Ilyas was neither a charismatic leader like Mawlana Mohammad Ali Jauhar of the Khilafat movement, nor an outstanding religious scholar like Abul Kalam Azad of the Indian National Congress. He was not even a good public speaker like Ataullah Shah Bukhari of the Ahrar movement. Unlike Sayyid Abul A�la Mawdudi of the Jamaat �e-Islami who was a prolific writer and a systematic thinker, Mawlana Ilyas did not author a single book in his life. Physically frail and intellectually unassuming, Mawlana Ilyas was, nevertheless, enthused with the zeal of a dedicated Da�wah worker. His passion to reach out to the Muslim masses and touch them with the message of the Qur�an and Sunnah knew no bounds. Like a true missionary, he was persistent, untiring, and whole-heartedly devoted to his cause. During one of his many missionary tours of Mewat, he was once hit with a stick by a peasant upon whom he was impressing the importance of leading a religious life. The Mawlana, already physically frail, fell on the ground and collapsed. When he regained consciousness, he got up and, holding his assistant affectionately, said: "Look, you have done your job. Now would you let me do my job and listen to me for a little while?" As one of his colleague put it, "Mawlana Ilyas, though a mere skeleton, can work wonders where he takes up anything." His eagerness and indomitable determination to reach every Muslim and remind him of his obligations as a believer took precedence on every thing else. His passionate concern for the spiritual welfare of his fellow Muslims caused him great anguish. A friend once came to visit him while he was on his deathbed. Mawlana Ilyas greeted his friend by telling him. " People out there are burning in the fire of ignorance and you are wasting your time here inquiring after my health!" He wanted every Muslim to be on his feet, preaching the message of Islam to others. He exerted his friends and followers to dedicate their lives to this cause. Once when he was trying to peruse his audience to volunteer for a missionary trip to Kanpur, U.P. India, not a single person responded to his call. Spotting one of his friends in the audience, Mawlana Ilyas asked him what prevented him from going to Kanpur. His friend was suffering from serious ailment and was obviously too weak to travel. He told Maulana Ilyas that he was "almost dying" and there was no way he could travel. The Mawlana said, "If you are dying already, you had better die in Kanpur." It is important to note that while Mawlana Ilyas kept himself completely aloof from politics of the day and focused his program of action exclusively on making the Muslims aware of their religious obligations, he did not, at any time, criticized those Islamic groups which were actively engaged in politics. On the contrary, he maintained extremely cordial relations with Hussain Ahmad Madani and other Ulama of Deoband school whose political organization, Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, a pro-Indian National Congress group, was very much active in Indian politics. Mawlana Ilyas had equally warm relation with pro-Pakistan faction of the Deoband school led by Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanvi and Mawlana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani. However he refused to take any position on the issue of united India vs. a separate Muslim state of Pakistan for the obvious reason that this would distract his movement from its main religious tasks, and would also create dissensions within its ranks. Mawlana Ilyas was of the view that the Tablighi movement and the politically-oriented Islamic groups, although operating in two different spheres, were complementing each other�s work and hence there should be no competition and rivalry between them. Once when someone pointed out that his movement was "too narrowly focused" and did not address the larger issue of socio-political reforms in Muslim society, the Mawlana responded that this narrow focus in the initial phase of the movement was necessitated by the available manpower and that the movement could grow to encompass a larger and more comprehensive program in the future. It is unfortunate that those who succeeded Mawlana Ilyas did not realize his larger vision and saw the Mewat model of Da�wah as eternally fixed. Nevertheless, the fruits of Mawlana Ilyas�s efforts are visible all over the world today. Author: Mumtaz Ahmad, Ph. D

By Suhail Alji. http://www.geocities.com/fazaileamaal Email -- aljisuhail@mail.com Introduction My beloved brothers, sisters and elders, whilst I was browsing the Internet I found a lot of sites that disgraced, criticised and rejected the work of Tabligh, I was very depressed since it is one of the major revivers of Islam today. In this small space, I will discuss why we have to do the work of Tabligh and why we have to give dawah or Nasiah to our own Muslim�s today. The first point I want to get straight is that Tabligh is not a group or party, today people have named it Tabligh-E-Jammaat. If there were a real name for it, it would have been called Imaan sikneh ka jamaat, which means a Jammat where in you can learn Imaan. I do not want to go deep into how the work was revived, but it was revived by a Sheikh called Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi (rah)from India. An old man once came to him and said �I do not know the kalima� Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi (rah) told him go to the Muslim�s and tell them look I am an old man with a white beard & I don�t know the kalima don�t be like me (after the people heard this they made effort on their family and neighbours). After a while he returned to the locality and found the Mosque full, even at the time of Thahjud. Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi (rah) later saw Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) come in his dream and say that Allah will take work from you he replied that he was weak and is incapable the prophet s.a.w. replied that Allah did not say that you are going to do the work but Allah will take work from you. The work was revived in the 1920's in Mewat, India, the people at that time called him insane and stupid because he used to say that the people of Europe and America are going to come here and learn Islam and carry out the work, the people who heard this used to laugh in his face, they said that the people of India are not listening to you how are the people of Europe and America going to listen. Alhamdulillah now thousands of people visit the Markaz in India each day and the second largest gathering in the world after Hajj is the Ithima in Bangladesh and Jammats go all over the world from this Ithima. It's the same in America in England, South Africa, Pakistan, and India and in the Middle East and other parts of the world. Now why do we have to do the work, Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi (rah) say's in his book Fadhail-E-Ammal, the chapter Muslim degeneration and it's only remedy that the Arabs were sunk in darkness then a light of true knowledge and guidance rose and it's rays spread from the East, West, North, and the South they reached every corner of the earth within the short period of 23 years. At that time Muslim's were attaining success after success but Alas the fact of history has only become a Myth, an ancient tale. If you look at the Muslim's of today they are the opposite, 85 % or more do not perform Salaat, which is the principal pillar in Islam after Iman. They have adopted the lifestyle of the Kuffar and thrown the Sunnat of the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) out of their windows many of them commit Zina every day, they gamble, listen to Music, Sing, Drink and commit Shirk. Imagine if the Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) came today and saw the Muslim Ummah in such a condition what would he say, would we invite him to our home or would we first throw the Shaytan out of our house or would we simply run away. Tabligh is trying to breathe life into Imaan and Ammal of the Muslim's. The people that carry the work of Tabligh go out in an Islamic environment such as the Masjid in most cases because Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) said the Masjids are the greatest places and the Bazaar the worst. They go for as long as they can normally 3 days, 40 days and 4 months. In that time they learn the basics and fundamentals of Islam and they learn how important it is to bring full Islam into their life. They also build their Imaan by giving dawah to Muslim's. Allah Ta'la says in the Qur'an And whose word can be better than his who calls people towards Allah and performs good deeds and says '' I am one of those who submit to Allah!'' (Surah Al Fussilat verse 33) My brothers & sisters the work of Tabligh is not biddah it�s a way of reviving Islam and waking up the Muslim's who are asleep. There are tremendous stories about the people engaged with the effort of Tabligh who went into the stages of becoming the slave of Shaytan to becoming a true a slave of Allah, the people that you would think are going to be the last in bringing Islam into their life (because of the state that they were in) to becoming superior and more Allah fearing than us. My brothers & sisters it's time that we realised our responsibility and live up to our responsibility because there are no Prophets to come or any Ummah's. So we are the last and we received the last Prophet who gave us the responsibility of conveying Islam throughout the world and the people to come. If we study the life of Prophet Mohammad (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) we see how much sacrifice he went through. My brothers & sisters why not join in the effort, it's not only for the males it's also for the females there were Sahabiya that did the work like the Sahaba. There is an immense reward for this work it is related in one Hadith that one day & one night in the path of Allah is superior to the world and whatever it contains. So imagine what reward Allah will give for reviving his deen at a time when the Muslims were neglecting Islam and running towards the fire of Jahannam. Jazzak-Allah May Allah save us from Jahannaam and grant us Jannat ul firdous Ameen By Suhail Alji. http://www.geocities.com/fazaileamaal Email -- aljisuhail@mail.com

As Salam-o-alaikum to all: I agree Tabligh is obligatory on every Muslim, The Prophet SM taught us Dawa, Tabligh, Herbie and to establish the Deen in it's totality. Tabligh Jamat is only doing Tabligh and missing the main component of Rassululah'swork Establishment of Deen in the society. There is no proper organization, even reading Hadith is not in organize fashion. Just to change Dress and go to Mosque and go out do tabligh is not the whole Deen, Rasulullah was doing Dawa, Tabligh, Training and Amar bil Maroof and NAHE ANAL MUNKAR, We need to change our Denn is just not entertainment but struggle in all phases of life. Studying quran and learning and teching is a must, proper reading and understanding of studying Hadith is a must, We have to work like an organize institution. May Allah Help Us. Amen

Let us answer the question in the light of the holy Quran and Ahadith, for they are the sources of guidance for the Muslims in all activities they perform. the holy Quran says,"You are the best community, you enjoin the right conduct and forbid indecency and you beleive in Allah." "And whose words can be better than the one who invites toward Allah, do good deeds, and says, "I am among those who submit". "O Prophet! say, it is my mission that i invite toward Allah with wisdom; me and my followers". The Prophet peace be upon him says, "one morning or one evening in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and whatever it contains". "those who enjoin the right conduct and forbid evil are the vicegerents of Allah on earth, the deputies of His Prophet, and the heirs of the holy Quran." The above verses and ahadith reveal that tabligh is a noble activity and the prime responsibility of Muslims. The Muslims did this work in the early years of Islam and so they succeeded everywhere against the evil forces. Now when the Muslims in general even do not know about it let alone doing it, therefore, they are facing troubles. To earn back the lost glory, it is highly essential that we perform the work of tabligh with full zeal and devotion. Let us purify ourselves to become the beacons for others. May Allah accept us all for this lofty task. Ameen!

Certainly its is. The work of dakwah is the the work of all prophets of Allah from Adam to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and later was continued by sahabah kiraam, tabieens and whoever followed them. The work somehow disappeared or was not acknowledged until Maulana Ilyas revived it. He did not invent the work of dakwah. With all the fikr and worries over the circumstances or conditions of the degeneration and deterioration of ummah as a whole, he started to pray to Allah to show guidance to him and the rest of ummah. Maulana Ilyas himself is a master or scholar of of islamic knowledge, surely he would not invent anytime new into religion (bid'ah. His struggle did not promise him fame, wealth, power and any kind of worldly rewards. He truly sincere in calling people towards Allah as the earlier people did. Today, the work of dakwah has spreaded through out the world and many people have benefited from it. May it muslim or non-muslim. For the Muslims, the work of dakwah has bring them nearer to Allah. They have turned from negligent to becoming obedient and observant to the commandments of Allah. For the non-Muslims, the have became Muslims. One late veteran of British/India Army Officer who engaged with Tabligh Jamaat had converted more than 1000 people to Islam. Tabligh Jamaat through the hardships, slanders and challenges that they were facing while calling people to Allah, are now seeing the results. Some Muslim authorities started to praise and acknowledge Tablighi Jamaat and its efforts, this include the late Mufti of Saudi Arabia and some other muftis through out the world. I call toward you brothers, please make prayer to Allah with sincerity so He The Almighty will show us guidance. O Allah, help us, lead us to the way that accords to the life of Rasoolullah. Save us from your wrath and hell fire. Ameen.

THE MAIN POINT OF THE MUSLIMS IS TO UNITE THE UMMA ON THE DEEN. Not to make different parties like salafi, wahabi...whoes work is just to misguide the innocent people. Once the person is ready to go on DEEN then its upto him which madhab he to follow: shafie, hanafi, haumbali, or whatever. These SALAFI's think that they know Arabic language so they are the leader of Islam....infact they know nothing. Sahih Bukhari is not from an Arab person. I dont see any major book written by those salafies... I see them in the US and Canada...they are just those people who prays for themselves only. They are of NO BENEFIT to any Muslims. They just CRITICIZE others but have no guts to talk to any muslim...leave alone a non-muslim. May Allah guide us to the right path. Ameen.

i read brothers stating that the words in fazail Amaal are not according to the quran and sunnah. Please show me where they are not according to the quran and sunnah? in addition, 4 months is period that has been ordained by Allah(swt) Himself in the Quran. Surah Tauba ayat 1. After the conquest of Mecca there remained many non muslims. The law was about to be passed wherein it stated that no non muslim could reside or even stayin mecca. Allah(swt) in the Quran gave the order that a period of 4 months will suffice and after these 4months ended then the law should take affect. The wisdom of the period of 4 months is that for those people who stay in the company of muslims in the masaajid in an islamic environment this is sufficient time for somebody to change there ways and be inclined towards the Deen of Allah(swt) and it is this period of time that the Ullema have reccomended we spend in the work of deen as this will Inshallah facilitate and incline our hearts towards Deen, good actions and character. IT IS THE QURAN AND IS PART OF THE SUNNAH.

As the scholars have said, Dawah in Islam is like the force of the current to a flowing river; you cannot call it one, without the other. The question arises that is the methodoligy employed by the jamaat correct. For anyone who has lived in Pakistan, sectarian conflicts and political ambitions of so many so-called religious leaders, discourage those who truly seek Islam, and tabligh jamaat is the best alternative in that country because it has no political or monetary ambitions. The time factor(four months, forty days etc) involved is quite acceptable for that part of the world because the work schedules there are quite different from say, a western country. For those living in a western country where a typical job requires a 9-5 routine, they can chose to go in jamaat on weekends or as their schedule permits them, since the idea of four months and forty days is only a suggestion, or 'tarteeb' given by the elders. It is not an abligatory fard like the salaat or zakaat, only if you are able, then it is highly recommended.

As-salamu-alaikum Respected brothers and sisters in Islam, this topic is a very delicate one. I recently got involved in the work of Tabligh. I left behind a life of drinking, smoking, sex etc to take up what is the real objective in life, which is TO SEEK THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH (swt). When ppl looked at me, they did not see all the bad things I was upto, because I was "successful" in terms of duniya, gaining a enter above 99, studying law etc and fulfilling all the requirements of so-called "duniya success". The work of Tabligh is something that should not be criticised without being tried. Misconceptions about it, and unfortunately some mispractice, have led to a view of Tabligh that is far removed from what it is really about. I do not recommend that a person try something to see its virtue or benefit/loss. Eg. we know alcohol is haraam and also has a detrimental effect on one's health, we do not need to try this to figure that out. At the moment, the state of affairs in the Muslim Ummah at large is far from favourable. First, we all need to accept this. I put forward that, most of us agree that this duniya was created by Allah (swt) for the sole purpose of Islam (the submission (of creation) to Allah (swt)). Therefore, it would seem that the state (mahool) of the world, will reflect the state of Islam in the world. At the present moment, Islam is suffering, so Muslims are suffering. This world is Janaat for the Kaafir and their position is irrelevant. All that matters is the plight of the Muslims, and that is mutually exclusive to the state of Kaafir. Therefore, it can be argued that, Muslims at large need to improve the state of Islam; the way it is practiced, the building of the ummah; the way it is reflected in the Akhlaq of every Muslim. The source of what our requirements are is ultimately the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an says again and again, more or less, that we are to follow the ways of Prophet Muhammad (saw). This requires us to gain knowledge of his practices and what he said. Now, the Tabligh "movement", if I may call it that, is a movement without infrastructure. It has no corporation or organisation and its work is largely unrecorded. My experience with one Tabligh Jama'at was extremely spiritual. I was engaged in learning about Deen, was provided with an environment in which I was compelled to practice what I learnt and was pursuing to obtain qualities that the Sahaba (ra) had, that would allow me to incorporate Deen into my daily life. The work of Tabligh is based on Fiqr (concern). Allah (swt) has asked us to follow the way of the Prophet (saw) in order to be successful (in Duniya and more importantly Akhira). I will repeat, Allah (swt) has asked us to follow the way of the Prophet (saw) in order to be successful (in Duniya and more importantly Akhira). The Prophet (saw) spent his whole life giving Daw'at. His followers, the Sahabi (ra) spent their lives and wealth, giving Daw'at. Inviting others into the fold of Islam. Now, we must recognise that we are not the Prophet, nor can we be the Sahabi (ra). But that is what we need to strive to be like, if we wish to be successful. That is it. Tabligh recognises the central and primary role of the Kalima. La-ilaha il-Allah, Muhammadin Rasool-ullah (saw). The movement has a broad fiqr for that state of the Imaan of the ummah. And its work is based on inviting Muslims (and non-muslims also) back to the Islam that was practiced by the Prophet (saw). Whilst doing this, it is said, and I personally found, that doing the work of Daw'at works to strengthen one's Imaan. I also did practical things like practice recitation of the Qur'an with Tajweed, learn about what is Fard in Salaah, Wudu, Ghusl etc and what the practices of the Prophet (saw) were. How can anyone say that this work is against Shari'ah law? The Prophet (saw) said, more or less, in his last sermon to his Sahabi (ra) to take the Qur'an and the Sunnah and spread the Deen. Ask yourself what you think you should do? The best thing I could recommend, in my humble opinion, is to make Du'a. Ask Allah (swt). Ask Allah (swt) to guide us to the straight path, give us Hidayat, and take us away from the path that will incur his wrath. (This can be found in Surah Fatiha). Insha-Allah, you will find the answer in your prayers, whatever it may be. Please recognise that I am only human, that I am far from perfect, so if I have made any mistakes or misguided anyone, I ask you to forgive me. If I have said anything that helps anyone in anyway, it is because of Allah (swt) only and not me. Allah(swt) knows all, so he is the one we should ask, not a forum of internet mullah's. May Allah (swt) forgive me and guide me on the straight path. Ameen

Dear Brothers, The efforts of daawat (tabligh jamaat) is taking place in 265 countries (at some places indirectly). This efforts of daawat is taking place around the world by the "Will of Allah" and by the "Khudrat of Allah". It cannot be run by human beings or by tablighi people as argued by others. The efforts of daawat has changed the lives of the people drastically. The result is immense. Subhanallah. There is rebirth of Islam around the world through this efforts. Those who talk against are actually jelous of the popularity of this effort. 10 years back we were (self, parents, bro and sis) leading a miserable life. No fear of Allah and his Rasool. Was involved in all forms of Bid'atand shirk. Who cared about us ? Who taught us about Islam ? Only these tablighi people cared about us. No one else. These tablighi people taught us about the power of Imaan ; power of Sunnah ; khudrat of Allah and all important aspects of Deen. This book called "Fazail-e-Aamal" is doing wonders around the world. We were not aware of virtues of Imaan, Namaaz, Quran, etc. until we started reading this fazail-e-aamal. After reading "Virtues of Quran" I started reading Quran everyday.

TA BLIGH IS HAQ, THIS HAS BEEN PROVED AT NUMBER OF TIMES AND PLACES. IT IS SAID (AND PRACTICALLY SEEN)THAT IF A LAMP IS BURNT IN A DARK ROOM IT WILL ENLIGHTEN THE ROOM AND SIMILARLY IF YOU ARE GIVEN HIDAYAT FROM ALLAH (SBT)YOU WILL SPREAD HIDAYAT ALL OVER HUMANITY. THIS IS THE REASON YOU/WE STRIVE IN THE PATH OF ALLAH (SBT)FOR YOUR/OUR OWN SALVATION WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS. YOU NEED TO ESCAPE FROM THE HELL FIRE, THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO STRUGGLE IN THE PATH OF ALLAH FOR HIDAYAT. THERE IS FAMOUS POETRY WHICH SAY "ONLY AFTER THE FOG DISAPPEARS YOU WILL KNOW WHETHER YOU WERE RIDING AN HORSE OR AN DONKEY". MAY ALLAH GRANT US THE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS WORK WHICH HAS CHANGED MILLIONS OF PEOPLES LIVES FROM THE DARKNESS OF EVIL INTO ENLIGHTENED LIVES. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF "HIDAYAT" FIRST THEN THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THE SOURCE OF ATTAINING IT.

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullah There have been many a duscussions on this subject and Subhanallah! there have been many diffrences of opinions. There is a very famous story I would like to use to perhaps draw comparisons to the way things are today and to help give a clear picture of what even little diffences can do to the Muslim Ummah: There was a community of Muslims who were small in number yet large in iman and strong in action. So much so that, the kufaar could not defeat them in battle even though they had the Muslims out numbered. The kufaar decided to better understand this. a young man from the kufaar pretended to enter into Islam and he went to the big sheik in one part of the city and listened to his teaching of the Quran. The subject happened to be on the chapter of the Quran called Al Kahaf [the Cave, #18]. When the sheik completed his talk he offered a chance for the brothers present to ask some questions. When it came the turn of the kafar, he asked the sheik the question: "Sir, in the story of the sleepers in the cave, there is mention of a dog. I just wanted ask as to what color the dog might have been? I hope you don�t mind my asking... especially if it is something that maybe you don�t know the answer to." Immediately the sheik spoke to the young man, "That�s no problem at all, let everyone know that the dog was YELLOW." The kufaar said, "Are you sure? could it have not been another color?" "No." replied the old sheik, "It was definitely YELLOW." The next night the young kafr man went to the other side of town and sat in another gathering of knowledge and they too were discussing different things about verses in the Quran. So when it came time for the teacher to give each person attending, the opportunity to ask a question, the kafr man raised his hand and then asked the question, "In the chapter about the "Cave", the sleepers are mentioned in different numbers but each time there is a reference to their dog as being counted along with them. I was wondering whether or not anyone of knowledge has ever made any reference to what the color the dog might have been" The sheik immediately said, "The dog was BLACK." The young kafar man was pleased and continued, "Sir, are you quite certain that the color of the dog mentioned in the story was BLACK?" "Young man," he quickly replied, "I�ll stake my reputation on that as a fact." "Thank you, sir." Said the young man. The next night the kafar posing as a Muslim went back to the first sheik and then when it came time for the questions and answers he raised his hand and asked, "Sheik, may Allah reward you for all your effort and knowledge and for sharing it with us. Could you maybe remind me about the answer to the question the other night about the color of the dog in the cave in Surah Al-Kahaf?" (Quran: Chapter 18). He said, "There is no doubt amongst the great scholars of Islam on this question. The dog was YELLOW. And anyone who says other than this has no knowledge." The young man spoke up again and said, "what would you say if someone else said that he would stake his reputation of being a scholar in Islam on the fact that the dog is not yellow, but BLACK?" The sheik said, "Then his reputation is not of a scholar but one of a fool." Now the next time the kafr man went to the sheik that was upholding the idea of the dog being BLACK, he told the sheik that the sheik on the other side of town was calling him names and saying that he had no knowledge of Islam and that for sure that the dog was YELLOW. The old sheik became angry and shouted, "You tell him, that I said he is the one without knowledge. I�m the one who graduated from the greatest of schools of Islam, while he is but a fool." The plan was working. Before long the community was divided into two groups. Each group was claiming that their sheik was the one with the correct answer. Fighting broke out in the streets and the Muslims began attacking each other all over the city. Everyone became involved to the extent that there was not a single person who was excluded from this terrible situation. Screaming, shouting, hitting and fighting were everywhere. And then it happened. The kafr went back out to his people and told them, "Let us go to fight them now. You will now find them most easy to defeat." And that is exactly what they did. In my opinion brothers and sisters, I believe we all have to stop contradicting each other. what happens very often then not is that we start mocking each other. But who are we mocking brothers/sisters, our selves? Do we not live the same way of life and recite the same Quran. May Allah (Subhanawata'ala) save us from such fitnah. Ameen.

I have read your site with interest. As regards to the Tablighi Jamaat being on the proper path of Islam, i have no doubts. Anyone who gives their time to preach the gospel of Allah and his Holy Prophet (SAW) is surely on the right path and doing the right thing. I am a Shi'aMuslim and i have found some of the comments regarding the Shi'aand their beliefs to be shocking in the extreme. Some of the quotations from supposedly some of the Shi'abooks, and some of the comments on their alleged beliefs, are so blatantly untrue that i shall be wasting time denying them, and frankly i do no seek to enter into a theological argument with people who live in the abyss of ignorance. I have friends from all sections of the Muslim community. We have our differences but we always agree on one thing. Today more then any other time is a pressing need for unity amongst Muslims from all sects and all beliefs. Even a country like Saudi Arabi that pratcises the strictest version of Wahabi Islam, has recognised the need to build bridges with Shi'aIran and Shi'ain Saudi Arabia are now being allowed to practise their beliefs. Divisive arguments shall only serve the purpose of the devil. Let Allah be the Judge of who is right and who is wrong. (and anyone who believes in Him and his message through his Prophet (SAW) cannot be wrong).

dear brothers and sisters salam! well its a very important topic on which lots of people have passed the remarks and what i want to say about this is in fact told by some brothers but i just want to summarise those key points: 1. first of all yes! its absolutly right that this way of preaching islam was not adopted by prophet (saw) but the argument is that it is not the way you preach islam but most importantly its what you are preaching. i just want to clear this point i just made as many brothers might not agree with me . by 'way of preaching' i didn't mean the ideology which has to be the same but the technique you use to preach islam. 2. in light of my first point i totally agree with bothers that tableeghi jamaat stress more on 6 numbers than quran and sunna and also they don't give any reference while tellin the hadith. this is a very important factor that need to be condsidered by all the tablighis. 3. thrid most important point is that prophet (saw) life of resalah has two parts makki and madni. if we consider the makki part then tablighi jammat is the best ideology because that's pretty muc what prophet(saw_ and his companions did in makkah but then they all did hijra and then there is a whole madni part which consists of prophet's(saw) statesmanship and development of an islamic state and is totally neglected by this( tableeghi jamaat) ideology. hence to call it sahih din as they say its absolutely wrong. 4. finally i would like to disclose that my father is also a member of this jamaat and of course we (all family members ) have been affected by his teachings so to say that this is totally wrong is not acceptable for me and also i don't want to neglect all the hard work that has been put by these tablighi'sincludin my father) by just saying few harsh words against them. hence knowing that there are some problems in this ideology i have an ambition to try to do islah of this ideology instead of saying it wrong and i appeal to all brothers and sisters to do the same in order to save the effort and hard work that has been put in this direction which is very rare to find.

asalaamualaikum my brothers and sister in islam: all praise is due to the almighty who has blessed us with the sweetness of imaan and has made us from amongst the followers of nabi muhammad (peace be upon him) i have recently returned from the path of allah taala with a jamaat from Argentina.after thirty years of work in Argentina the first jamaat ever has come out to south Africa for a month and India for a month and presently they are in Bangladesh.after the first world war 15 million ARABS migrated from Syria Lebanon and these countries to the south of America.over the years they have forgotten their religion and 95% have turned to Christianity.their names are still UMAR,ABDULLAH,UTHMAN but they proudly reply that we are no more muslim.alhamdulillah the effort has now started in Argentina and without exaggeration 10 people everyday come into the fold of islam.the older women aged 60+ begin to cry when the quraan is recited for they are hearing it after so long.they only have a frame in their homes with the kalimah upon it.BROTHERS this is not only in Argentina but in the entire south America viz. Chile Brazil Venezuela Peru Ecuador Uruguay Paraguay.in the entire country of Uruguay there is not a single musjid.people are so far away from deen that they perform their jummah prayer on sunday in the Egypt embassy.when i would recite surah ar rahmaan to them,they would begun to cry and beg me to move my entire family to argentina and become a resident so that i may teach their children how to recite the word of allah taala.i have now made my intention if allah taala wills to go and reside there and bring back our lost brothers to islam.BROTHERS if we analize the situation LOGIC WILL TELL US THAT IF THE COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET(PEACE BE UPON HIM)HAD TO PRESENT THE SAME EXCUSES THAT WE DO TODAY THEN MY BROTHERS THERE IS A DOUBT THAT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN AMONGST THE RECITERS OF THE KALLIMAH. ibn qayyim (r.a) says that if a person will not do the work of calling towards the almighty then it is as though he has doubt that prophet muahammad (peace be upon him) was the last messenger.IT IS AS THOUGH HE IS WAITING FOR ANOTHER PROPHET TO COME.if a person goes to "headquarters" as some people say they will find people from china,America,Argentina,Canada,new Zealand,Australia,south africa,germany,france,england,algeria.mecca,madina,egypt,morroca,chad,ghana.congo,tunisia.russia,mozambique,thailand,malaysia,phillpines,india,pakistan,bangladesh,burma,nepal,even Haiti EVERYONE WITH ONE WORRY AND THAT IS HOW ENTIRE WORLD CAN COME ON TO DEEN AND THIS I THINK IS WHAT MY PROPHET WANTED TO SEE.on my visit i also did not find any person worshiping the graves for that place is under lock and key and no person is allowed there IF YOU ARE OUT THERE AND TRYING TO STOP THE WORK OF TABLIGH YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THE ARMY OF THE ALMIGHTY AND THE GUESTS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PEACE BE UPON HIM) I ASK ALMIGHT ALLAH TAALA TO GUIDE US ALL UPON THE STRAIGHT PATH as for those who criticize this effort KHATAM ALLAHU ALA QULOOBIHIM WALA SAMIHIM WALA ABSAARIHIM WASALAAM noddylebon@hotmail.com

Tablighi Jamaat is the right path. Dawah is the work of the Prophets and that is what the Tablighi people do, they call other Muslims to the path of Islam [practicing Islam]. The 3 days and 40 days etc, have been arranged so that it fits into the peoples working and worldly lives and there is nothing wrong with that. If people say that 3 days etc, is bidaat then why dont they say that to give dawah on internet in week days, only in the evening [due to their being work in the day times] is bidaat? Just like the above mentioned way of giving dawah is just fitting it into ones work and worldly life schedule, in the same way going for 3 days and 40 days is in order to fit it into the work and worldly life schedule.

At the time of our death, let's pray that we are marked as Muslim - not as Shafi, Hanafi, Hanbali, Tablighi, Salafi, Sufi, Shi'a or whatever other name we invent. The rope of Allah (SWT) was one rope. Each sect today is rejoicing in its own rules. The words of the Illustrious messenger (PBUH) have come true. Tabligh is not the only way for doing good work out there. It's not the only Jamaat. It's existence or non-existence as a Jamaat is non-essential to be Muslim. We cannot judge based on success or non-success. Even if it has 1 billion members or even it had one. We were commanded to be united and with all our knowledge we have only succeeded in disuniting ourselves and abandoning the fard of Unity. It is sad to see this discussion. We have reached a day and age where true knowledge is lost, where anyone that does a good deed feels they are better than everyone else. We have arrived at a point in time where those that read a few books and interpretations of Quran feel they are the most excellent and know everything. I just pray that the brothers who go on these visits do not neglect their responsibilities to their families, relatives, neighors and community. And that they teach the right things to the people they visit so that they do not re-inforce un-Islamic practices. And that they practice what they preach. When trips are made to call people to the masjid, make sure that you practice the same when you return home (meaning that you also go to the masjid regularly where you live). Make sure that if you dress Islamically (all in white) on your trips that you do the same when you return home at all times. Make sure that what you are on your trip that it is a reflection of who you truly are. Don't make it into show and use it to cover up your own defects. Let's not divide ourselves further.

Living in Canada.. I can almost certainly tell you that Jammat tabligh is a great way to get people to learn about Islam. If you already have a fear or allah, have beard, fulfil huqoq-Allah and Huqoq-ul-ibad then theres no need to go after jammat. Unfortunetly, in this age there's only a few countable number of people who can go on like this wihtout any guidence or proper schooling of Islam. If you want to get close to Allah and want to be a strong part of Muslim Ummah. Join tableigh Jammat and trust me it'll change your life for the better. I have seen many first-hand example to deny the truth. Also, if they tell you to worship grave and since you have been given common sense to judge right from wrong. Walk out and let other know what jammat doesn't follow the sharia and which does. Calling all of the jammats bidat and sirkh is wrong. You will be the only one missing out in the end.

Salaam, Alhamdulillah Tabliqh Jamaat is doing a good Job. However a reform/revival of this movement is required. Some reform steps: > TAWHID "the strict monotheism" has to become the basis. > They should refer only to the Holy Quran & only to the authentic hadiths. > They should avoid the stories of sufis and shaikhs which cause superstitious beliefs to erupt in the minds of the common people. > The Holy Quran requires more attention than any other book in the world.Therefore recitation of the Holy Quran with it's meaning has to be introduced in their 3 days,40 days,4 months courses. "Shirk is more hidden than a black ant creeping on a black stone in the middle of a moonless night." In chapter 2, verse 135, God says: ��Say (O Muhammad): Nay!

As salaam wa alaikum. I'm an American revert of 8 years. It was actually a Jamaat who helped me to take shahada after studying Islaam on my own for about 2, or 3 years. It wasn't the Jamaat, or their ways(necessarily) that attracted me to Islaam. It was the Quraan, the life of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and ultimately the concept of Tauheed as taught only in Islaam. I've been to an ijtema, and spent a little bit of time with them. Some people who I really like are also active in the jamaat. There are some things about them which I like, and don't like. It's not about what we like though in Islaam, as many Christians love their deen, and feel some kind of positive effect when active in their practice(and calling to it). Most religions are like that. Buddhists also show alot of love, peace, and brotherhood. That doesn't make their way the truth. I'm no scholar, but what I notice from reading these posts(and in my life) is that many people in the jamaat are very nice, and seem well intended. They also seem willing to sacrifice, but what I also see is that many also seem a little bit loose with the teachings of Islaam, and ignorant about the importance of speaking what is authentic Islaamically, as opposed to speaking from desire, logic, analogy, intellect, or emotion. Most of what I've read here on this board in support of them is either emotion based, or intellect based. I can also see from reading most of the posts on this board that the people claiming to follow the salafi methodology have given proof(basically). While it may have sounded arrogant(or emotional) in some of the posts, at least I can see, and understand the proofs given in support of their belief. Their opinion doesn't seem emotion based(like many of the tableeq supporters), rather knowledge based(from authentic sources). I don't call myself a salafi(at this point), but they have the most credibility with me primarily because they are so strict about defending the religion of Islaam with authentic proofs, and not personal desire, or intellect. What way could be safer than that? Especially when the Prophet(p.b.u.h., in an accepted hadeeth) is reported to have talked about deviant sects, and one saved sect. Who's more apt to go astray? The group who relies on ONLY on that which is authentic, or any group who loosely narrates questionable hadeeth, or includes intellect, desires, and emotion into their aqeedah, and teaching? It's just what I see. Just because the Tableeq has some success, and beautiful qualities, doesn't necessarily equate to their way being entirely correct Islamically. Remember, their are still 1 billion Christians in the world, so their "dawah" groups must also be successful, and sacrificing, and everything the jamaat are. It doesn't mean they are entirely correct. They may have some truth in their aqeedah as well, but it's mixed with some falsehood, due to their being loose in regards to the teaching of their prophet(Eesa p.b.h.u.). So, the people may see their beautiful, peaceful, and attractive ways, should they accept them too because of that? Should we accept them just because of that? The Quraan PROVES itself to be true, correct? So, why should muslims stop searching for proof in regards to which aqeedah is 100% correct? If the Christians, and Jews, and everyone else have an obligation to search for the PURE truth(aqeedah), and accept it, then don't we as Muslims have that same duty to search for the truth in this regard? Wouldn't we advise the Christians to accept clear, proven, authentic teachings purely from an authentic Prophet(like Eesa, and Muhammad p.b.u.them, and not some so-called saint like Paul, or some other man, or group)? May Allaah forgive me if I'm wrong, and guide us all to the pure truth. Ameen. Bismillaah from beginning to end. (epx317@yahoo.com)...

I am Muslim, I used to follow Imam Abu Hanifah (ahle sunnah)but now I am following Quran & Sunnah, I have learn to pray like prophet Muhammad through sheikh Adle (Salafi)from North Carolina. I used to be very strong in Tableegh but do to some personal reason I have not been able to spent time with them. Tabligh is Haq if it is done correctly, I know there are people who don't have any understanding of deen are involve Tablighi Jamat work but it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with Tablighi. however,I think there should be more emphasis on learning & teaching. Doing to Jowla & going out in the path of Allah is great but Jamati brother should do Halqa on weekly bases for those who are not going in the path of ALLAH. And purpose of the Halqa (for both Women & Men) to educate ourselves on Quran & Sunnah. We should all know how to read Quran and at least memorize the meaning of last 12 surahs. I have nothing against Tabligh/Dawah. There many Salafi brothers bad mouthing work of Tablighi Jamaat with out any proof & evidence. There are numurus website from Salafi, Brelwis and shia call Tablighi Jamaat work Bidah. Some salafi are narrow-minded people and claim every thing shirk & bidah. Same people claiming that Tablighi people follow Abu Hannifi which is incorrect. I have meet quit a few brother that follow Hanbali & Shaffi and Maliki madhab. In fact Jamats from Arab countries visit Rawind every year and most of the Arab brothers follow Shaffi Madhab. *Question for Salafi Brothers. 1) Salafi Brother please provide a single daif hadith in Fazial Ammal. 2) What do you claim bidah or what is bidah & Shrik in Tabligh. Don't make up stuff Please explain with evidence from Quran & Sunnah. 3) I have read Sheik AL-banni's fatwa against Tableegh & Fazial Ammal but where did he say that Tableeghi Jamat is doing shirk & Bidah. 4) Salafi brothers, there is difference between Sufi, Bralvis and Deobandis/wahabi, please read about these sub-sects. 5) Most Tableegi in India/Pakistan follow Deobanids School which is somewhat close to the original teaching of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab. 6) Brelwis in Pakistan, India, Banglesh, Sri Lanka call Tableegi Jamat people Wahabi. Question for Tableegi Brothers. Ulama/scholars in Rawind & Dehli should reevaluate fazail amaal and if there is any weak/Daif hadith/s they should be removed or put reference in the book that is weak hadith.

Tabligh is of course a duty on every muslim. we as the followers of islam are under the obligation to spread the true message of Allah and his Messenger (S.W.S) Tabligh Jamaat is of course working hard for educating the people of mass areas But unfortunately, the so famous jamaat is not working within the limitations of Shariah. you may be forgiven even if you don't do Tabligh, but if overcross the limitations imposed on you by the Shariah, then that will be root cause of you destruction. You refer to the Translation of Soora e Al-Duha done by the Ulemas of Tabligh Jamat and decide what type of message they are spreading in the minds of innocent muslims. Is it fair for any muslim to treat our Prophet (PBUH) as a sin-committer? (Mazallah)

ASSALAAMALAIKUM ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS. REGARDING DOING TABLIGH OR DAWAH , SO IT IS COMPULSORY FOR ALL MUSLIM TO DO DAWAH. BUT REGARDING TABLIGH JAMAAT,GOING WITH THEM (TABLIGH JAMAAT) IS WRONG. WHAT TABLIG JAMAAT DOES IS NOT DONE BY OUR BELOVED PROPHET (SAW) AND HIS COMPANIONS(RA).TABLIGH JAMAAT IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SUFISM AND DEOBANDIS , WHICH PREACH SHIRK. TABLIGH JAMAAT TELLS EVERY ONE TO FOLLOW FAZAELE AMAAL(BOOK WIRTTEN BY ZAKRIYA). THIS BOOK CONTAINS PREACHING OF SHIRK. FOR EXMAPLE: See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 141, Tamil page 224) "When you visit anyone's grave, you should proceed from the direction of the feet because if Allah has given the dead the power of Kashf then it is easy for him to see you because when the dead turns to his right in his grave then his sight falls towards your feet. And when anyone approaches the grave from the head side of the dead then the dead has trouble and difficulty in seeing you. See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 164, Tamil page 267) "One person asked Khidr that, "Have you ever seen any wali who is better than you?" Khidr replied, "Yes, I have. I once visited the masjid of the prophet. I saw Imaam Abdur Razzaq Muhaddith and he was teaching Ahadith. The crowd and I listened to the Ahaadeeth from him. In one corner of the masjid there was a youngster sitting who had kept his head between his knees away from the crowd. I said, Do you not see that ahaadeeth of the prophet are being taught? Why don't you also attend the circle? He neither lifted his head nor did he look at me and said, "In that place are those who listen to ahaadeeth from the slave of Razzaq. But I'm the one who listen to Ahaadeeth from the Razzaq, not from the slave of Razzaq." Hadhrath Khidr said that , "If you are indeed speaking the truth then tell who am I? He raised his head and said that, "If I am not mistaken, then you are Khidr," Hadhrat Khidr then said, "From this I came to know that there are such wali of Allah whom even I cannot recognize See Fadha'il 'A'maal, Fadha'il Namaaz (Urdu page 13/14, Tamil page 26/27) "It has been reported from a number of companions and from amongst them Hadhrat Uthman, Hadhrat Abo Hurairah, Hadhrat Anas, etc. In different wordings that there are some people who posses the ability of KASHF. They can feel the sins being committed by people. Therefore the story of the Imam of the world Hadhrat Abu Haneefa is famous that he used to see the sins of the people fall out as they performed wudu." The following is to be found in the Faza'il-e-A'maal [Virtues of Salaat - Part III (b) - Stories of the Pious (Story # XIII pages - 84-5), it reads; Imaam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah alaih) is famous for his vigil, it is said that for thirty, forty or fifty years (according to the information of different narrators) he offered his Fajr prayer with the Wudhu for Isha. He would go to sleep only for a few minutes in the afternoon saying, "It is 'Sunnat' to sleep in the afternoon." It is said about Said bin Almusayyab (Rahmatullah alaih) that for fifty years he offered his Fajr prayer with the 'Wudhu' performed at Isha. Imaam Ghazzali (Rahmatullah alaih) on the authority of Abu Talib Makki reported the same practice by no less than forty 'Tabais', some of whom had been doing it for forty years continuously. Abu Atab Salimi (Rahmatullah alaih) is reported to have been fasting during the day and weeping during the night for full forty years. It is said about a Sayyed that continuously for twelve days he has been offering his Salaat with the same 'Wudhu'. For fifteen years, his back had not touched the bed. He would also go without food for days together. The last paragraph reads as follows; Besides the above, there are numerous records of the pious pursuits of the Heroes of Islamic History. It is difficult to cover all of them in this book. All that has been said here is sufficient to serve as examples. May Allah, through his grace, grant me and the readers of this book the strength to follow in the footsteps of these blessed people! 'Ameen'! The Islaamic Position on the above: The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said; "Whoever does an action that we have not commanded, it is to be rejected" [Saheeh Muslim] Ayeshah (radhiAllaahu anha) reported that the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) "Never stayed up a whole night in worship" [Saheeh Muslim] The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Right of the body in Fasting (56) Hadeeth # 196, pages 110-1, Vol-3;. Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin al 'Aas: Allaah's Apostle (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said to me; "O Abdullaah! Have I not been informed that you fast daily during the day and offer prayers every night during all the nights." Abdullah replied, "Yes, O Allaah's Apostle! The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Don't do that; fast for few days and then give it up for few days, offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you..." The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Fasting of David (60) Hadeeth # 200, pages 113-4, Vol-3; Narrated Abdullaah bin Amr bin al-Aas, The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to me, "You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night?" I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "If you keep on doing this, your eyes will become weak and your body will become tired, he who fasts all the year is as he who did not fast at all. [Saheeh Bukhaaree] It is reported in the Saheeh of Imaam Muslim (rahimahullaah) from Anas (radhiAllaahu anhu) that a group of the Companions of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) asked the wives of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) about (his worship) what he did in secret. Having been informed of his (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) worship, One of them (those Sahabah) said, �I will fast and never eat.� Another said, �I will pray and never sleep.� and the other said: �I will never marry women.� The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) praised and thanked Allaah, then he said, �What is the matter with some people who say such-and- such? But as for me, I pray and I sleep, I fast and I break my fast, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me.� [Saheeh Muslim] Allaah said; "Thus have We made of you a nation justly balanced, that you may be witnesses over the people and the Messenger a witness over yourselves." [al-Baqarah 143] Therefore, we find that Islam presents the moderate way in every aspect of life. Not only that, it also warns against heading towards either extreme: the extreme of too much zealousness and the extreme of too much nonchalance "Guide us to the straight way, the way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your grace, not those whose (portion) is wrath nor those who have gone astray." [al-Faatihah 6-7] The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said "Beware of Ghuloo (exaggeration) in the religion, those who exaggerated perished" [Sunan Abu Dawud] This balanced approach that distinguishes Islam from the other religions is the true justice and excellence. Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz wrote to one of his workers, saying, after advising him to follow the path of the early predecessors, "There is no room to fall short of them and there is no room to go beyond them. Some people shortened the matter and fell short. Some people went above them and therefore went to extremes. They (the pious predecessors - Salaf) were between that (those two extremes) upon a straight guidance." [Recorded by Abu Dawud] It is a lengthy quote but only the relevant portion was quoted here.

Muslims have two Eid - day of celebration and happiness. Day when you are with your family friends and relatives. isn't it the what our relegion says? This is the day Allah has given us to wear good cloths, eat and feed good food. Even fasting is haram on these particular days. If we look at Mohammad SW and Sahabai keram, they tried to celebrate Eid with their family. Beside, All there religions(Islam christianity and judaism)are actually family based religions. threse tableegi religions based on originally Ten Commandments, put more importance on family life. coming to the main point, now there are some tableegi amir who are encouraging people to go for tableeg leaving family especially during the Eid time preaching and promising more sawab. Preeching and promising more sawab than Omra hajj, more sawab than doing tawaf-e-Kaba, more sawab than praying in front of kaba. Tableegi jamaat - good of bad i dont know,,,what i know is these teaching are wrong

AS salamualaikum brothers and sisters in islam. Alhamdulillahi rabbil aalameen. As salaatu wassalaamualaa rasoolihilkareem. brothers and sisters WE ARE MUSLIMS. WE ARE MUSLIMS. WE ARE MUSLIMS. pray salatul-e-isteqaara if u want to know who is on the right path. Ask Allah (swt) to guide you to siraat-e-mustaqeem. Allah loves you. He will guide you in which jamat or group to join. because Allah(swt) knows and only Allah (swt) knows which group is going to enter paradise and which to hell. I am a pro-tablighi. But I too love salafi brothers. One of the salafi is my close and best friend. May Allah show us the right path(siraat-e-mustaqeem) to Tablighi jamat people (ahle-sunnatul jamaat), salafis, jamat-e-islami, ahle-hadees, IRF, and all other jamats and may Allah grant each and every jamat paradise. since we don't know which act of ours may take us to jannah. So So So Dont even again tell bad about others. If u r a salafi then pray salatul isteqara to check whether your jamat is on siraat-e-mustaqeem. If u r a tableeghi then pray salatul isteqara to check whether your jamat is on siraat-e-mustaqeem. If u r a jamat-e-islami one then pray salatul isteqara to check whether your jamat is on siraat-e-mustaqeem. If u r a ahle-sunnat(well tableeghis are all ahle sunnat only, there is slight diff between these two) then pray salatul isteqara to check whether your jamat is on siraat-e-mustaqeem. We all know that following sunnat will lead us to Jannah. then if someone says against tableeghi jamat then plz dont go in it. Try it your way. If ur not from tableegh and you are from any other jamat Try to follow sunnats ->Always keep your pants above ankles. Since u follow only authentic hadees. oK then read in Sahih bukhari and Sahih muslim about the one who keeps let his pants below ankels. -> Wear cap always that's sunnah of prophet (sws). In only one hadees it is mentioned that prophet (sws) performed salat without cap. regarding all other thousands of hadees and regarding the great sahabas they used to offer salat with covering heads. Is that fine. -> follow small small sunnats in your life like sunnah of eating, sunnah of drinking, sunnah of transactions, sunnah of talking, sunnah of joking, sunnah of friendship etc etc. is that fine. First of all you change yourself. You dont keep beard, you shave it and say you are the ummati of muhammad sws. and you start saying bad about the one who is following each and every sunnah. plz plz plz dont do like this. IF Allah likes any of the act done by the tablighi he may be rewarded jannah. so try your best to change yourself first rather than speaking against someone by saying they are kafirs, mushriks, bidatis etc etc. I in my whole life never saw any tablighi worshipping the grave. Just someone told you that they worship grave and you just typed it in this forum and because of that its a heated discussion for some 100's of messages. plz brother unite. if u dont unite then plz do dawah according to your jamat or organization dont blame others. Dont blame others. Rectify yourself and pray to Allah. ASk for your and his forgiveness. ONce again we don't know which act of our's will lead us to Jannah.

Assalaamu Alaikum Brothers and Sisters What Tableehge jamat is doing is the work of a muslim at the age of 7 years. Is there anything they do beyond inviting Muslims to salah for 5 times. This work should be done by everyone upon small kids whose age is 7 years. What is Tableegh? "Spreading Islam" Now ask the tableeghe Jamat how many people they invited i mean non muslims to Islam. Ask them to organize one open Programme from where they can Spread Islam to Non Muslims. When I asked this question to these people they said How come we spread Islam When we Muslims Ourselves are not on the right path. Now tell me How long does it take for these people to make all muslims on the right path?? that means they will never invite non Muslims. In fact They are afraid to do so. And one Important thing I must tell All the People in this regard that they take youth into jamat without any knowledge and train him for 40 days with their six principles who upon returning back delivers Lectures without any knowledge regarding any other thing. I am really not satisfied with the work they do. They speak more and do less.

In the name of Allah the merciful the most extremely merciful! As salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah I would just like to say about the tableeg jamaat from my observation is that they are very sincere brothers. To invite people to Allah(swt)Is certainly the Deen of Allah(swt)But the way in which they invite is not the way of Muhammed(saaws). For an example, They put emphasis on just inviting Muslims to Allah(swt)and Our beloved prophet(saaws). They will pass right by non muslims right next door to them in their own communities, right next door to their masaajid like those people don't even exist!! Particularly African Americans!The tableeg jamaat treat the African Americans(non muslim) In their community like they are LEPERS!! When they(Afro Americans)comes to their shops to spend their money, they (the tableeg)shop owners will have no problem with taking their money, but never do they invite them to Allah swt in those instances. They just leave them to burn! How can they justify that as being DAWAH! who's Dawah?? That is not the DAWAH of our beloved prophet saaws!!!! He was concern about all of humanity. He (saaws) invited all people and not just MUSLIM! He did not stop at MUSLIMS!So the question is whose method of Dawah is this?????????? Although our tableeg brothers are sincere, they must change from this one sided invitation and truly invite all of humanity to Allah and his messenger(saaws)! You will notice from participating at their talks, that they will say that they are concern about all humanity, but NEVER do they invite all HUMANITY. The people right in thier communities are walkin around like people on fire because they don't know of the way of RasulAllah(saaws). What I would just like to say at this point to my sincere tableegee brothers is.... It's time for a CHANGE!!! It's time to truly invite all humanity, the way Of the Qur'an and the Sunnah! may Allah Guide us all ameen! Allah knows best

To Brothers In Islam Assalamu �Alaikum Molvi Ilyas, popularly known as Hazratjee: (d. 1944): He was the founder and first Amir of the Jamaat Tableegh. He was the successor of Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri, who was amongst the Khulafa of Rasheed Ahmad Gungohi. He founded the Jamaat Tableegh on Sufi principles and incorporated many Sufi practices like Muraqabah (meditation), Chillah (40 day seclusion period) and the silent Dhikr (remembrance) into the routines of his Jamaat. The TJs claims are that it is a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahaba and, on the other hand; it says, that Molvi Ilyas is the founder of this movement. The questions I ask Brothers is that:- 1. If, in reality, this is a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as they have claimed, then it must be proven by authentic Islamic books that the Prophet Muhammed (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and his Sahaba also used to form the above, do Ghast, Tableegh of Kalimah and Prayer and spent 3 days, 7 day, 40 days, and 4 months away from home. 2. Why was this Sunnah ignored for approximately 1400 years?? And then molvi ilyas came along and revived it?????? Confused?? Yes I am 3. If this is a Sunnah practice, then surely Molvi Ilyas cannot be its founder. But, if he is the founder, then obviously this type of Tableegh did not exist before him. It is a Bid'ah!!!??? 4. Why is this movement and its teachings not mentioned in the Quran, or Hadith�.. or in Sahi Bukhari, Sahi Muslim, Abu Dawud, Maliks Muwatta, Shamaa-il-Tirmidhi or Fiqh-us-sunnah??? Inshallah Brothers I look forward to your answers in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. Jazakallhu-Khairan Mohammed Saeed

Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamualaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatuhu...... First of all ,i like to ask you people whether you know clear objective of jamat-e-tabligh.ok."Tabligh-jamat" the name was given by the common people and people other then tablighi people. you may have heard people saying that jamat work is ok,but the people in jamat do lot of mistakes and wrong things .......see, in jamat they go,they create awareness among the people about their imaan(faith).we are able to realize what imaan is.and they make us realize the need for living our life according the shaariah and deen... they don't teach rules an regulation of worshiping and any other action.... they ask the people to learn it from the learned scholors....but i will say those who have not gone in jamat at least for 3 days will surely bluff silly thing which is not the truth.i ask such people to go in for atleast 3 days to learn and know what is "tabligh jamat".. praise be to allah alone who gave me this chance to tell something about jamat....

Assalaam O Alaikum Having been in jamaat very recently after many years absent, the true meaning of Islam came into my heart once again. Tabligh is the understanding of our responsibility and purpose of life. We have our hearts and minds so far rooted in the dunya, that we forget what Islam is. Reading stories of the sahaaba, teaching and learning, reading hadiths, and above speaking about the oneness of Allah SWT, is tabligh in a nutshell. Why shouldn't we go out and remind our brothers and sisters about deen. It is our responsibility. We will be questioned on the day of reckoning about how we spent our time in the dunya. Having the mercedes and the big balance will not get you anywhere. Anyone who is sitting on the fence about this subject, or anyone who is making ill informed assumptions etc, should go to Dewsbury Markaz on a Thursday night, and there you will see and hear about daawah and tabligh. For those of us who have strived out in the path of ALLAH, we must continue to do so and make duaa that the hypocrites and the ignorrant will one day understand the true meaning of Islam. From one muslim to another, Tableegh has changed the lives of people who have been part of it and also those who have merely seen a tableegh Jamaat doing Gasht. May Allah SWT give me and all of you the twafeeq and hidaayat to practice Islam and to strive out in the path of Allah. Ameen Shukran

Are there Baseless Stories in the Fazaail Aamal that harm the Aqeedah (Beliefs)? QUOTE 1: Moulana Zakariyah mentions in Fazaail-e-Hajj, �Once one of the Abdaal met Khidr and inquired from him whether he had ever met anyone among the saints whom he considered higher in rank than himself. To this he replied, �Yes, I have. I was present once in the Masjid in Medina, where I saw Hazrat Shaikh Abdur Razzak directing Hadeeth to his students. On one side was a young man sitting with his head bent on his knees. I went to him and addressed him thus, �do you not see the gathering listening to the words of Rasoolullah. Why do you not join them?� Without lifting up his head or turning in my direction the youth answered: �Over there you see those who listen to the Hadeeth from the mouth of Abdur-Razzak (the slave of the sustainer), while over here you see him who listens to Hadeeth directly from Ar-Razzak (Allah).� Khidr said to him, �If what you say is true then you should be able to tell me who I am. Who am I?� He lifted up his head and said, �If my intuition does not fail me then you are Khidr.� Hazrat Khidr said, �From that I realized that among the saints of Allah there are such who are so exalted in rank that I cannot recognize them.� [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, Virtues of Hajj, (Eng. Trans.), Chapter.9, story no.9, p.171, (New Edition 1982, Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi).] NOTE: The Deobandi translator of Ikhmaalush Shiyaam defines an Abdaal saying, �Abdaal are a class of Awliya whose identities remain concealed. They possess miraculous powers and execute a variety of tasks under Divine Command in various places of the world.� (Astagfir-Allah) [Ikhmaalush Shiyaam (Eng. Trans.) p.59.] This Deviant Story Promotes that the false belief that someone can receive knowledge directly from Allah without the mediation of the Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) and to receive knowledge from Allah is something specific for the Messengers. This store make this so-called Abdaal equal to Prophet Moosa (alaihis-salam) and our Messenger Muhammed (sallaallahu alaihe wa-sallam) who spoke directly to Allah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE 2: Allah says in the Quraan, �Verily! Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the womb. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.� [Soorah Luqman (31): 34] But the Fazaail Aamal says, �Abul Husain Maliki says that he associated with Shaikh Khair Nurbaf for several years. The Shaikh said to him, eight days before his death. �I shall die on Thursday evening, at the time of Maghrib Salaat, and I shall be buried on Friday after Jumuah Salaat.� Although, he advised me not to forget, but I forgot about it and, on Friday morning, a man told me about the Shaikh�s death. I immediately went to his place� asked people the details of the Shaikh�s experience of death. A person� narrated to me that the Shaikh swooned for a while just before Maghrib Salaat. Then, he recovered somewhat and said to someone in the corner of the room, who was invisible to others, �Stop for a while; you have been commanded to do a thing and I have been commanded to do a thing. That which you are commanded to do (viz. to take my life) will not escape you, but that which I am commanded to do (viz. to observe Maghrib Salaat) will escape me. Let me do as I am commanded.� He then called for water, made a fresh Wudhu and performed Maghrib Salaat. After this, he laid himself on the bed, closed his eyes and gave up his life.� [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.) Virtues of Charity, Chapter.6, p.609, (2nd South African Impression 1414-1993.

He completed a course accordingly for his wife and many other courses for himself. There lived a youth nearby who, it was said was �a man of Kashf� and had the foreknowledge of the events of Paradise and Hell. One day it so happened that while sharing a meal with him he suddenly made a loud cry and began to gasp, and exclaimed that his mother had been cast into Hell (burning into the fire of Hell). Shaikh Qurtabi keenly observed the condition of the youth and decided to offer a course for his mother secretly so that the fact that the youth possessed a foreknowledge of the Unseen and the truth of his mother�s sad plight in Hell would be ascertained. The Shaikh said that he did it so secretly that nobody could knew it, except the Almighty, Allah. But the youth soon expressed his gratitude and said that now his mother had got rid of the Fire of Hell. [See, Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.), Virtues of Dhikr , Chapter.3 (Part - 3), p.59 (Edt. 1985, Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi).] In this Deviant Story, the knowledge of the conditions of Paradise and Hell-Fire and the knowledge of future events is claimed for the so-called �man of Kashf�. He is also aware of the matters between Allah and his slaves, and therefore shows gratitude to Shaikh Qurtubi, even though Shaikh Qurtubi �did it so secretly that nobody could know it, except the Almighty, Allah.� -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE 4: �Hazrat Ibn Jalaa relates, �While in Medina I once suffered tremendous hunger. It became so unbearable that I presented myself at the grave of Rasoolullah and said, �O Rasoolullah, I suffer great hunger. I am now your guest.� Thereafter, sleep overtook me and in a vision, I saw Rasoolullah give me a piece of bread. I ate half of it, and when I woke up, I found myself with the other half of that piece of bread still in my hands.� [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.), Virtues of Hajj, Chapter.9, story no.23, p.178, (New Edition 1982, Published by Dini Book Depot �Delhi)] Yet in another story, three men fasted for days on end since they could not find food. One of them went to the grave of Rasoolullah and said: �O Rasoolullah hunger has overtaken us.� Soon afterwards ... �a man from Alawi family knocked at the door. We opened the door and found a man with two servants, each one carrying a large basket with many delicious foods.� The man from the Alawi family said before leaving, �You have complained about hunger to Rasoolullah. I have seen Rasoolullah in a dream and he commanded me to bring food to you." [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.), Virtues of Hajj, Chapter.9, p.177, story no.22, (New Edition 1982. Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi). Similar stories have been mentioned on p.179 (story no.27) and p.181 (story no.29)] "Once a group of Arabs went to visit the grave of a very generous person and stayed there for the night. One of them in a dream saw the man of the grave who asked him to sell his camel for his Bakhti camel (Bakhti is a good kind of camel). The man agreed and the man of the grave stood and slaughtered the camel. When the man woke up, he found it bleeding. He slaughtered it and distributed the meat. When the group returned then at a stage, a man came riding a Bakhti camel and enquired whether among them was a man of such and such name. The man who saw the dream came forward and said he was that man. The man related his dream. The camel rider said the man of the grave was his father and he had directed him in a dream to give this camel to him. He gave the animal to the man and went away." Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.), Virtues of Charity, Chapter.7, story no.16, p.193, (New Edition 1982, Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi). These Stories teach that the inhabitants of the graves can help the living. This belief forms the basis for Grave Worshipping. The Fazaail-e-Aamaal promotes all these erroneous beliefs under the guise of virtues and exhortation. Those who expose themselves to the teachings of Fazaail-e-Aamaal which include believing that the engraved can hear, see and help the living, will undoubtedly weaken their Tawheed and establish hope in other than the One, Who Alone has the Power to benefit and harm. Given the claim of the Jamaat Tableegh that it reaches out to people, who are totally unaware of the religion, reading such stories from the Fazail Aamal to them will play havoc with their beliefs and further corrupt their religion. ----------------------------------------------------------- So dear readers four quotes from the Fazaail Aamal have been mentioned and you can see for yourself the deviation in these stories that are being spread amongst Muslims. Furthermore it is not a co-incidence that these beliefs are in the Fazaail Aamal, rather each one of the misguided views is a well-established belief of the Deobandis - the school of thought that the Tableeghi Jamaat originates from. This has been shown with ample proofs. please refer to the online book, "The JAMAAT TABLEEGH and the Deobandis - A Critical analysis of their Beliefs, Books and Dawah" Wassalaam alaykum -sajid http://www.ahya.org

Assalam-o-Alaikum! There is no doubt that success of everyone lies in full deen.Now practicing full deen, one should have talb for hadiat in his heart and then effort for this. Deen will only be established by the effort like Muhammad(P.B.U.H) did. Only that effort will lead to hadiat which is according to Mizaj-e-Naboowat and Sunnat-e-Naboowat. Tableeghi Jammat is one which is doing this effort just like Mizaj-e-Naboowat and Sunnat-e-Naboowat. There are many other tahreeks but only that effort will succeed and lead to success which matches the effort of Muahmmad(P.B.U.H). Anyhow how much I say that this apple is very delicious and beneficial, one can't get these benefits until he taste it...so taste Tableegi Jammaat with at least 3 days with real talab for hadiat( No doubt Allah give hadiat to those who have talb and do effort in his path for this).... May Allah give whole Ummah hadiat and that effort which is given by us due to Khatm-e-Naboowat and for which we are best Ummah. Thanks.

Tabligh is the name of an effort of building Muslims Iman and Yakeen. And the field of this effort is door to door, not internet. Internet is for our salafie brothers, who are too shy to go and beg lost Muslims to return back to Deen. Our salafi brothers spend 99% of their time on tabligh and how to prove this Muslims are wrong, which group of Muslims will go to Hell. On one hand our salafie brothers curse all other Muslims to hell, and beg non-Muslims to come to the salafie version of Islam. Our salafie brothers indeed have a lot more love for kafirs over Muslims. How ironic. Tabligh effort is Haq. Allah put Salafies as a test for workers of tabligh brothers. So bear patiently and ask for Allah to forgive our salafi brothers and open the true understanding of this effort to them, Amen.

As-Salamalaikum Tabligh jamat is doing Islah not tabligh. There is a lot of difference between tabligh and Islah. Tabligh means calling nonmuslims to Islam, and calling a muslim for prayers is Islah. This is what going on in our city, which I have seen. Tabligh people call for prayer but they themselves don't know the correct way which our prophet p.b.u.h. have taught. There is major deviation in tabligh jamat that they teach fazaiale Amaal which is not a hadith and which contains lot of shirk aqeedas. So i think if the person having this aqeedas in the book never go to Jannah because our prophet has told us the person who do shirk will never goes to Jannah. If anyone wants to reply on this and wants to remove misconceptions or anything can mail me on faisal10@rediffmail.com

Dear Brother's and Sister's. Assalamoalecome .. I met this (TJ) and I went Khuroog with them several time's, i was asking their purpose of this Khurog they said: - Da'wa - Learning the Knowldge - Refresh or Iman - Path of allah - Step's of the Prophet and the Sahabah. - and much much more ... And I don't think they act upon these purpose. once I gave them the advice to leave the book's (Tabligi Nesab) and other books that are related because these books contain a lot of mistakes and legendary iman Mawlana stories. I suggested them the Book "Muktasar Saheh Al Bukhari" but they refuse. And once I asked them a about book of History of the Phropet Mohammad (SAW) from India called (Arrahek Al Makhtom) by Shaik Safeu Arrahman the faimus book of Seira of the Phropet Muhammad (SAW) that win's the Award winning in Makkah in the past, they didn't know about it!!!!!!!! And that book is from India. that is realy shame .. The action of the (TG) mixed with the Sufian way's and Bid'ah. They didn't love Arab ppl as far as I know here in Australia. and evry time that the Eid will be tomorrow they make it after tomorrow for example Eid al fitr was in thursday in Australia they make it Friday. and the Eid Al Adha was Tuesday they make it Windnisday, I ask the imam why? He said we follow the Sunnah!!!!! ... Sub'han Allah. And actually they said their Madthab Hanafi but their not. The way of salat, Wudu and Dhiker. Totally not Hanafi. Jazakum allah Khayran.

After all these discussions : We are all one Ummah,and one kalimah then why the hell cursing each other.Do some thing positive instead of creating fitna by saying wrong to others.Only Allah knows who is right and who is wrong. Lets look around and see who are more punctual in salat in mosque with Jamat --- Tabligh who are following more sunnah------Tabligh where muslims of all races and region are living like brothers-------------Tabligh which Jamat has no other objective other than the pleasure of Allah-------------tabligh Through which Jamat the lives has been changed 360 degrees from hell to heaven in every nook and corner of the world---Tabligh Dear Muslims! A cool headed neutral survey can answer all these things.More over just because of Personal short comings we can not make a generalize statement to the whole movement.We should have to throw away our egos and be united if we wanna do some thing.

Asalam Walaykum This is for the people who go against the work of tableegh. Just because you read a few books, and can read quran does not make you a qualified scholar to interpret or have full knowledge of a certain hadith. Have to understand the truth is in the arabic language, english books are translations "Only" In the arabic language many words cannot be translated into the english language! Anyways many, I dont want to pick with the salafys, but many salafys who have denounced this work as alll a bidah, and not practicing tawheed, man your narrow minded, and do not know this effort. If you spend a day in this effort you would "KNOW" what this jamaat is all about. It is not all deen but it's a helper in trying to put some deen aspects into your life. And to not practice tawheed or to claim that man you must be silly, tricks are for kids for real! the firsttttttttt quality they teach you is kalimah tayyibah. If you do not know what that is go take a look, Before yous say there is no tawheed going on. Not only that, when I went into the work, we had taleem, and in this taleem we would go over the last 10 surahs of quran, for the ones who were shaky in there recitation the brothers would help you pronounce it properly, so if there is objections into trying to help your fellow muslim out then your "sick" Ikram Muslimeen, what you want for urself, you want for your muslim brother. This is not a I got all mines religion so leave everybody else to die. If we can help a muslim then so be it. I have a lot more to say but this is the main thing I was trying to stress. Asalam Walaykum Wahramatulahi Wabrakatu And Allah knows best.

ASKM I am some one who does not follow any thing blindly.My best friend took me to a jammaat for 7 days and then i came to know what i was missing.I could not even recite the Kalima correctly which i learnt. The Jamaat enticed a lot to me and then i began to do my own research of wheher the work done by tabligh jamaat is right or wrong.I asked several Ulemas about it and every aspect about it. It is then i found out then every thing is based on what PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW) teachings and how the work was done by the SAHABA(RAZI ALLAH TAALA ANHU). PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW) used to wear a long kurata till the lower calves and the cloth covering was well above the ankles.PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW)used to go house to house to spread the word of ISLAM. In the Masjid -e- Nabawi the following practises took place:group of SAHABAS(RAZI ALLAH TAALA ANHU) learnt the QURAN_E PAK and other group read the hadees and other group talked about ALLAH'sGREATNESS and the Heaven and the hell. You can notice that all the above is practised in a JAMAAT. A small SUNNATH is nearer to ALLAH than the whole world and these people try to follow maximum no of SUNNATH; dressing,talking.eating,sleeping,MISWAK. even how to sit in the Wash Room;in short SUNNATH in every aspect of life(so how can they be kafirs or biddatis). As far as going fr a period of 4 months is conecrned; it was done at the time wen OMAR (Razi ALLAH TAALA Anhu) was the AMEER; PROPHET MOHAMMED (SAW) narrated to a sahabi(Razi ALLAH TAALA Anhu) that the people of the later generations if they do the 10% of what you(the sahabas) have done;that will be enough for them to be pardoned. From the above mentioned hadees the pracice of going 3 days a month: and 40 days an year is taken. A month is thirty days long and its 10% is 3 days and similarly for a 365 days long year 40 days is approximately 10%. SAHABAS(RATA) devoted all their time for DEEN, hence ISLAM reached us therefore we can give atleast 10% or preferably more for our own respite. AS Far as Fazael-Aamaal is considered it is authentic.It has HADEES collected from different books.The reason for reading it is bcoz it is organized in such a way that it has all FAZAAEL (what u get by doing something,for example y would somebody like to earn more money;bcoz he knows that if he earns more money he will be able to satisfy his desires.Similarly if u know what u get for Praying a Namaz u will go regularly) of all is given.In no other book the fazaael are to gether .Just for the simple fact that it will be very easy for us to relate to the FAZAAEL _E_ AAMAAL is read. I hope all the doubts are clear. MAY ALLAH TAALA take all of us on the SIRATAL MUSTAQEEM(right path) and grant all of us JANNATH AL FIRDAOUSE.

i would just like to clear up the criticism of fazaal-e-amal. i spoke to my shaykh about this because i had concerns too. he told me that it was compile my shaykh-al-hadith muhammad zakariya khandlawi, who was the one of the most knowledgeable people in the study of hadith and was given that title by his teachers. my shaykh told me that it is largely containing legit hadith, but some he said he hoped were not in there. but overall it is good. the purpose of fazaal-e-amal is exactly that, to teach the virtues of doing different actions, through the hadith of rasulAllah (saw) adn the stories of the companions (ra). Therefore this book is a motivation for doing good not a book for religous ruling. i hope this helps clear things up. forgive me for anything i may have said wrong. and Allah (swt) knows best.

Assalamualaikum. I have read Fazail 'Amal, if there is shirk , show me! I haven't found any yet. Whats the problem of using it? Just like other books and kitabs, it have it's own focus. Moreover, it contains ayahs from Al-Quran's Those who doesn't understand tabligh work should spend their time with jamaah at least once to get the clear view. Most of them just hear bad things from people about jamaah. Allah please forgive them for all the fitna they made and give them hidayah. To those who judge others as kuffar and doing shirks should repent! Remember that we search knowledge to practice it, not to attack others. They wont stop even though 10000000000 proofs from Al-Quran and AlHadith are given. They'll keep attacking stubbornly. So my friends, we need to correct our niat first! Jazakallah khair

Assalamu alaikum Readers, After reading all of the articles it seems that people are just upto saying that follow ..mine follow mine.. why dont people just undustand that Islam is so clear as a crystal.(Based on Clear Proofs) Proof:: Prophet Mohammed( peace be upon him) said 'I have left you upon the clear and pure white ground, whose night is as clear as its day - no one deviates from it except that it is destroyed' (Hadeeth Hasan, reported by Ahmed, Ibn Maajah and Al Haakim). So it is clear that in the matters of Deen one should follow the Quran, Sunnah and the way of the Sahabah. Proof: (Quran) ' And the first to embrace Islaam from the emigrants(the muhajireen) and the helpers( The ansar) and those who followed them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them(Sahaba ridwana allah anhum) and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens underneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. That is the greatest achievements'. (Surah Tawbah 9:100) Proof: (Hadith) Prophet mohammed ( peace be upon him ) said; ' Adhere to my sunnah of the rightly guided khulafa', bite on to it with your molar teeth and beware of newly invented matters, for verily every innovation ( bida'a'h is a going astray'. Reported by Ahmed Ibn Hambal in Musnad (4/126,127), Aboo Dawud (4607), At Tirmidhee (2678), Ibn Majah (42), and this is an authentic Hadeeth. So when it comes to the matter of Deen instead of looking here n there why dont we look at those who preceeded us 1400 yrs ago leaving Subhanallah clear proofs... Well.. now coming back to the topic Is going to Tableegh Jamaats right? Lets take even this in accordance to Quran, Sunnah and the way of the Sahabah, one should beware of small innovations because they grow until they become large. A striking example of how small innovations lead a person into commiting major innovations. I request all of the readers to read this carefully, this narration is authenticated by Saleem al Hilaalee in al - bidah (pg 26 - 29) Amr ibn salmah said: We used to sit in front of Abdullah Ibn Masoud'shows before the Fajr prayer, so that when he came out we would go with him to the Masjid. {one day} Abu Moosa al-Ash'aareecame and asked us: 'Did Abu Abdur Rahmaan (i.e. Ibn Masoud) leave yet? ' We answered: 'No.' So Abu Moosa al-Ash'aareesat with us waiting for him. When he came out, we all stood up. Abu Moosa told him: "Oh, Abu Abdur Rahmaan! I recently saw something in the Masjid which I deemed to be evil, but all praise is for Allah, I did see anything except good " Ibn Masoud then asked: "then What was it?" Abu Moosa said: "You will see it if you stay alive. In the Masjid, I saw a group of people sitting in circles waiting for the Sal��h. Each circle is led by a person. And every person in these circles carries small stones (pebbles). The leader of a circle would say: "Say 'Allah-u Akbar' a hundred times" so they would repeat Allah-u Akbar a hundred times; then he says "Say 'Laa ilaaha illallaah', a hundred times" so they would say Laa ilaaha illallaah a hundred times; then he would say: "Say 'Subhaanallah', a hundred times", they will say Subhana Allah a hundred times. Then Ibn Masoud said: "What did you tell them?" He said: 'I didn't say anything, I waited to hear your opinion." Abdullah Ibn Masoud said: "Could you not order them to count their evil deeds, and assured them of getting their rewards." Then Abdullah Ibn Masoud went ahead and we accompanied him. As he approached one of the circles, he said: "What is this that you are doing?" They said: "Oh! Abu Abdur Rahmaan, these are pebbles to count the number of times we say Allah-u Akbar, La ilaaha Illallah, and Subhaanallah." He said: "Count your evil deeds, and I assure you that you are not going to lose anything of your rewards (Hasanat). Woe unto you, people of Muhammad, how quickly you go to destruction! Those are your Prophet's companions available, these are his clothes not worn out yet, and his pots are not broken yet. I swear by Whom my soul is in His Hands that you are either following a religion that is better than the Prophet's religion or you are opening a door of misguidance." They said: "We swear by Allah Almighty, oh, Abu Abdur Rahmaan, that we had no intention other than doing good deeds." He said: " How many people wanted to do good deeds but never got to do them? The Prophet of Allah( PBUH) said to us ' A people will recite the Quran but it will not pass beyond their throats, I swear by Allah, I do not know perhaps most of them are from you'. Dear Readers, When it comes to the matter of Deen one should look at the Quran and the Sunnah, now look at this narration people were intending to do good, infact they wanted to recieve rewards from Allah, remember this was just after the death of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and from then Bida'a'astarts, one should be aware of this( innovation) which leads to the hell fire. To know what are the consequences of ending up in bida'a Prophet Mohammed(PBUH) said that they end up in hellfire. Wa Billahi Taufeeq, Assalamu Alaikum

Asalamualaikum, the work of dawah is good and the tableeghi people are very active in it masha Allaah but thier approach is terrible. i dont say this coz im envious.. im not jelous of their work or anything but you gota understand that just coz your guided through a thing doesnt make that thing correct. lots of people become christians at the hand of christians or bad christians become good christians but does that mean christianity is the true religion? ofcourse not. if you study the book fazil e amal (tableeghi nisaab) you'll know that its not just about ayah and hadith of good deeds. its not even about weak ahadith that are in there. there are FABRICATED ahadith in that book. there are stories of shirk and kufr and grave worshipping in that book and they need to burn that book or give it some serious editting if they want to give good dawah. here'r3 links to help you realize that insha Allaah. http://www.allaahuakbar.net/tableegi_jamaat/index.htm http://spubs.com/sps/sp.cfm?secID=GRV&subsecID=GRV02&loadpage=displaysubsection.cfm http://63.175.194.25/index.php?search_text_box_dsn4=tableegh&lv=search&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&formtrans=dgn%3D4%7C&ln=eng&ds=qa&sensitivity=2&searchquestions=1&searchtitles=1&searchanswers=1&searchsources=1&pg=result&offset=0&msubmit=1 also, they dont take with them people of knowledge only, but they'll take everyone on thier street with them. wether a person has knowledge of islam, (even knowing the tawheed properly isnt a requirement among them) it doesnt matter, everyone goes out to spread Islam. while it is a good deed, and a very very good thing, to spread Islam, but you gota have knowledge, ilm to spread Islam. how can you give something to others that you dont have yoruself. alhumdulillah the tableeghi people are really sincear, (and Allaah knows best) in thier work but they'rapproach is really bad. there's a story used as an example, that a man is really passionate about bringing people into Islam and givng dawah. so he goes out of his house to call people to Islam and he meets a jew and says to him, become Muslim or i'llkill you. the jewish says ok i'llbe a Muslim what do i have to do to become one. and the Muslim man says i dont know. this is an example of what the tableegh is doing. they are passionate about going out and thats what i hear from them the most.. lets go out go out .. but do they have the right knowledge in order to go out? no. from my experience its all about following the hanafi mazhab and thats all they know. they dont know what the Quran and Sunnah says specifically. thats what i dont like. no knowledge and using rotten sources (fazail e amaal). subhan Allaah they dont even know what they'rsoppose to beleive and what not to believe coz in fazail e amal there's a lot of shirk and exxaggeration of good men. and exaggerating in praise for good men is what leads to shirk. i mean have they read the Quran? did they study the Sunnah? or is all they studied was the going out method of 3 days 40 days etc. which has no basis in the first place? if you want to spread Islam, then first stay where you are and study it. remember sahabah also studied Islam. RasoolAllaah (sallalahu alaihi wasallam) would send sahabah who had knowledge of Islam. we read of him sending Ibn Mas'ood Ibn Abbaas and thier likes to spread Islam. did you ever read that he sended those who just entered Islam and knew nothing? get in touch with good scholors and study Islam not just blidnly follow the scholor. study it, then preach it and may Allaah guide us all and keep us safe from following our desires and followign the shaitaan. its totally foolish of an ordinary Muslim who knows nothing to go out with jamat tableegh or even sit with them. coz thier book is filled with shirk. wasalamualaikum.

Ghuloo in the Faza'il-e-AA'maal Quotes from Fazail-e-Aa'maal (Ta'alim book) I've found the following from Fadha'il A'maal' (Thaalim book) & Fadha'il Haj of Zakhariya Sahib, the famous books of Tabligi Jamaat that the Tabligi people used to read openly after the prayers in many masjids and in their homes, mainly in Asian countries. Also this Urdu book has been translated into many languages except Arabic. Here I've quoted some fabricated stories with reference from the above mentioned books for your eyes, to check whether is it allowed to preach this type of stories in our masjids that would corrupt our belief (Aqeedah). See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 138, Tamil page 225) "When you see the green dome then it should be with awe and reverence and you should take care of the honour of the Huzoor and reflect that in that pure dome is he who is the best of creation, leader of the prophets and virtuous the Angels. The place of the holy grave is superior than any other place and that place which touches the holy body of the Huzoor is superior to the Ka'bah, superior to Arsh, superior to Kursi in fact superior than everything in the heavens and earth." See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 141, Tamil page 224) "When you visit anyone's grave, you should proceed from the direction of the feet because if Allah has given the dead the power of Kashf then it is easy for him to see you because when the dead turns to his right in his grave then his sight falls towards your feet. And when anyone approaches the grave from the head side of the dead then the dead has trouble and difficulty in seeing you" See Fazail Hajj (Urdu page 164, Tamil page 267) "One person asked Khidr that, "Have you ever seen any wali who is better than you?" Khidr replied, "Yes, I have. I once visited the masjid of the prophet. I saw Imaam Abdur Razzaq Muhaddith and he was teaching Ahadith. The crowd and I listened to the Ahaadeeth from him. In one corner of the masjid there was a youngster sitting who had kept his head between his knees away from the crowd. I said, Do you not see that ahaadeeth of the prophet are being taught? Why don't you also attend the circle? He neither lifted his head nor did he look at me and said, "In that place are those who listen to ahaadeeth from the slave of Razzaq. But I'm the one who listen to Ahaadeeth from the Razzaq, not from the slave of Razzaq." Hadhrath Khidr said that , "If you are indeed speaking the truth then tell who am I? He raised his head and said that, "If I am not mistaken, then you are Khidr," Hadhrat Khidr then said, "From this I came to know that there are such wali of Allah whom even I cannot recognize." See Fadha'il 'A'maal, Fadha'il Namaaz (Urdu page 13/14, Tamil page 26/27) "It has been reported from a number of companions and from amongst them Hadhrat Uthman, Hadhrat Abo Hurairah, Hadhrat Anas, etc. In different wordings that there are some people who posses the ability of KASHF. They can feel the sins being committed by people. Therefore the story of the Imam of the world Hadhrat Abu Haneefa is famous that he used to see the sins of the people fall out as they performed wudu." See Fadha'il 'A'maal, Fadha'il Namaaz (Urdu page 62/64, Tamil page 125/126 & 131) Some people prayed for 40 to 50 years Isha and Fajr with the same wudu The following is to be found in the Faza'il-e-A'maal [Virtues of Salaat - Part III (b) - Stories of the Pious (Story # XIII pages - 84-5), it reads; Imaam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah alaih) is famous for his vigil, it is said that for thirty, forty or fifty years (according to the information of different narrators) he offered his Fajr prayer with the Wudhu for Isha. He would go to sleep only for a few minutes in the afternoon saying, "It is 'Sunnat' to sleep in the afternoon." It is said about Said bin Almusayyab (Rahmatullah alaih) that for fifty years he offered his Fajr prayer with the 'Wudhu' performed at Isha. Imaam Ghazzali (Rahmatullah alaih) on the authority of Abu Talib Makki reported the same practice by no less than forty 'Tabais', some of whom had been doing it for forty years continuously. Abu Atab Salimi (Rahmatullah alaih) is reported to have been fasting during the day and weeping during the night for full forty years. It is said about a Sayyed that continuously for twelve days he has been offering his Salaat with the same 'Wudhu'. For fifteen years, his back had not touched the bed. He would also go without food for days together. The last paragraph reads as follows; Besides the above, there are numerous records of the pious pursuits of the Heroes of Islamic History. It is difficult to cover all of them in this book. All that has been said here is sufficient to serve as examples. May Allah, through his grace, grant me and the readers of this book the strength to follow in the footsteps of these blessed people! 'Ameen'! The Islaamic Position on the above: The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said; "Whoever does an action that we have not commanded, it is to be rejected" [Saheeh Muslim] Ayeshah (radhiAllaahu anha) reported that the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) "Never stayed up a whole night in worship" [Saheeh Muslim] The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Right of the body in Fasting (56) Hadeeth # 196, pages 110-1, Vol-3;. Narrated Abdullah bin Amr bin al 'Aas: Allaah's Apostle (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said to me; "O Abdullaah! Have I not been informed that you fast daily during the day and offer prayers every night during all the nights." Abdullah replied, "Yes, O Allaah's Apostle! The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Don't do that; fast for few days and then give it up for few days, offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you..." The following appears In the Saheeh of Imaam Bukhaaree in the Book of Fasting, under the chapter: The Fasting of David (60) Hadeeth # 200, pages 113-4, Vol-3; Narrated Abdullaah bin Amr bin al-Aas, The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to me, "You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night?" I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "If you keep on doing this, your eyes will become weak and your body will become tired, he who fasts all the year is as he who did not fast at all. [Saheeh Bukhaaree] It is reported in the Saheeh of Imaam Muslim (rahimahullaah) from Anas (radhiAllaahu anhu) that a group of the Companions of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) asked the wives of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) about (his worship) what he did in secret. Having been informed of his (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) worship, One of them (those Sahabah) said, �I will fast and never eat.� Another said, �I will pray and never sleep.� and the other said: �I will never marry women.� The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) praised and thanked Allaah, then he said, �What is the matter with some people who say such-and- such? But as for me, I pray and I sleep, I fast and I break my fast, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me.� [Saheeh Muslim] Allaah said; "Thus have We made of you a nation justly balanced, that you may be witnesses over the people and the Messenger a witness over yourselves." [al-Baqarah 143] Therefore, we find that Islam presents the moderate way in every aspect of life. Not only that, it also warns against heading towards either extreme: the extreme of too much zealousness and the extreme of too much nonchalance "Guide us to the straight way, the way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your grace, not those whose (portion) is wrath nor those who have gone astray." [al-Faatihah 6-7] The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said "Beware of Ghuloo (exaggeration) in the religion, those who exaggerated perished" [Sunan Abu Dawud] This balanced approach that distinguishes Islam from the other religions is the true justice and excellence. Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz wrote to one of his workers, saying, after advising him to follow the path of the early predecessors, "There is no room to fall short of them and there is no room to go beyond them. Some people shortened the matter and fell short. Some people went above them and therefore went to extremes. They (the pious predecessors - Salaf) were between that (those two extremes) upon a straight guidance." [Recorded by Abu Dawud] It is a lengthy quote but only the relevant portion was quoted here

Assalamu alaikum Every work or deed is judged by Allah Almighty by the correct intention of the heart. Even if two persons are praying, the distance between there prayers could be like the distance between heaven and earth, so it says Sayyidina Muhammad(saw). Arguing about any group or jamaat or way is only a deception of the Devil,who is undoubtedly one of the most learned. Devil is on every way, and nobody is free from disease, let it be of body or the soul. Only Allah is the perfect Judge. Here I am mentioning the Holy words of Allah(swt) and those who have knowledge and those who follow the guidance, only let them reflect on them and every individual will profit from the sayings of Allah according to their deeds. Allah says, "It is not required of thee, to set them on the right path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth."(2:272) For all the people who took tabligh as "fard", none is gonna be asked for the "hidayat" of someone who's living in some remote area of Africa maybe, but one must try to throw light on the paths of the ones living around or the neighboring people. "Do ye enjoin right conduct on the people, and forget (To practice it) yourselves, and yet ye study the Scripture? Will ye not understand?"(2:44) so we must first of all purify ourselves and be ready to guide others. No prophet came out to guide the people before they spent time in seclusion and before attaining some "high spiritual station". To turn a iron into a magnet one must attain the characteristics of a magnet first! Again Allah says, "Nor should the Believers all go forth together: if a contingent from every expedition remained behind, they could devote themselves to studies in religion, and admonish the people when they return to them,- that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against evil)."(9:122) So, it's not "fard" for all to go together for "dawah", rathar it's "fard" to make sure that there are groups who are acquiring vast knowledge on religion staying back and guide people thereby. Allah,ever merciful,showed ways to get salvation but in every way the Devil is treading with our "ego". So we must be careful. If a person finds peace and truly does "dawah" in the way of Allah roaming around the world, he must will find Allah merciful and Allah shows the right path to the ones who strive on his way.How can the "dawah" to the path of Allah be questioned? We can only judge by the knowing the external.The internal knowledge is only with Allah. So, only He knows who's diseased and who's not! Whoever took Allah as his guide, none can lead him astray,and who Allah has led astray, he'll find none to his salvation. Again, whoever renounced the world in the cause of Allah and remain in seclusion, must will find Allah merciful as He says, "When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease."(18:16) "cave" is the seclusion or "hijrat" turning away from the world! Every individual should follow the path according to what suits him but be sure of following the path of Rasulullah(saw)'s sunnah and beware of the deviated Devil. May Allah have mercy and set us apart from sins just as He kept the East and the West apart from each other. Ameen!

I have gone through the answers and i am disappointed that tha wahabis(the most ignorant of this earth and close to Jews) are just doing nothing but spreading disunity between muslims. They must change themselves and sit back and gain some fruitful knowledge which may unite muslims not divide. Why wahabis donot understand that they are the product of British government long before ,during and after the second world war in which they were created to fight with muslims and they raided Madina to fight Otaman Empire(The true muslims). If they still behave as wahabis and donot leave their conspiracy of dividing muslims as Jews are conspiring in the world they and Jews has no difference. They are serving the same purpose whether after the name of Lashkare Tasiba, after the name of Tableeghe Jamat(a wahabi -Deubandi) or others.

I saw this article today (see below). I's very interesting. Tablighi brothers never attack others, that' why they are picked on. They choose to do Sabr. Also, these so called Salafi brothers are always so full of anger. You ned to chill out. Fire and brimstone doesn't quite match up to your temperaments. According to you guys everyone else is a deviant. I can't see how your methods will bring unity to the ummah. Inside the real Tablighi Jamaat EMDAD RAHMAN After much consideration I felt very much duty bound and obliged to pick up my pen following Paul lewis� groundbreaking expose on the activities of members of the Tablighi Jamaat. (The Guardian- 19.08.06 http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,,1853800,00.html ) The effort of Tabligh has been described (http://www.icna.org/tm/greatmovement3.htm ) �as one of the most influential grassroots Islamic movements of the twentieth century South Asian subcontinent.� The jamaat (group) has been under close spotlight since the atrocities of 9/11. The New York Times stated that an FBI official had claimed the jamaat to be a recruiting ground for Al-Qaeda. Police in the UK also carried out interrogations based on information that Mohammad Sidique Khan, leader of the London bombers of July 7 2005, had frequented the Tablighi headquarters in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. After converting to Islam Lindh met members of Tabligh. Attracted to their proselytising ways, he took part on a Tablighi tour of preaching. Lindh�s lawyer George Harris said; "John's experience of the Tablighi is that they are what they say they are. They are apolitical. And he found that an extreme position that he didn't find particularly attractive. He wanted guidance as to political and spiritual issues." Online encyclopaedia Wikipedia accurately depicts Tablighi Jamaat as a �Muslim missionary and revival movement. They usually limit their activities to within the Muslim community itself, their main aim being to bring spiritual awakening to the world's Muslims.� The Jamaat, which boasts former Pakistan cricket captain Saeed Anwar and singing sensation Junaid Jamshed amongst it�s adherents, is far from the shrinking violet type. It is one of the most avant-garde Islamic movements in the world. Those who participate in the approved traditions of the Jamaat describe it as a non political group, shunning violence, and engrossed in nothing more than proselytizing and calling Muslims to return to Islam. Incidentally, the Jamaat does not like to be seen as a group or sect, rather as simple Muslims striving hard to be firm on their faith. The refusal of the group to indulge in political discussions has always ensured that those with strong political or radical opinions have moved on very swiftly. Contrary to common perception Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalawi (1885-1944) is not the founder of the Tablighi Jamaat. He is primarily held responsible for the revival of the effort of Tabligh from Mewat, a province in India. Diagnosing Muslims to be in general ill health, he called global Muslims to return to the basic tenets of Islam from which he believed Muslims had deviated, thus encouraging Muslims to concentrate on their own personal spiritual and moral development. M.S Agwani in Islamic fundamentalism in India likened Muhammad Ilyas� task to the tilling of land and irrigating it (Islamic fundamentalism in India). Paul Lewis� article contained a number of factual errors. Tabligh is not influenced by Wahhabism, and Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that does not support the effort, either morally or financially. Tabligh is not a formal organisation and amazingly there is not one paid member or participant anywhere in the world. The bedrock of the effort is based purely on the participant utilising their own health, wealth and time in the pursuit of moral and spiritual development. For many years some Muslims in the UK and abroad have accused Tablighis of being too passive and being out of touch with reality (with regards to current affairs) because of their shunning of all forms of politics. The Thursday evening gatherings mentioned have been taking place in the UK since the 1950�s and this is not a new phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination. The number of attendees and the popularity of the activities of the effort have increased ten fold, but the peaceful message of self rectification ant the call towards good remains very much the same. With regards to the security barrier, it is open knowledge that the Markaz operates a completely open door policy. Mr Lewis states that; �men in fluorescent jackets waved through those who are known to the Tablighi hierarchy.� This is strictly untrue and on the contrary nobody is refused entry to gatherings. The Jamaat has never been a secretive or draconian body, with a hidden agenda. There are no lodges, secret meetings, rituals or golden and coded handshakes. The Markaz is open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The fact of the matter is that a very large group of people that are non political, and are perceived to be low profile because of lack of media coverage until now, are now being openly accused in many quarters of acting as a conscription bureau for Al Qaeda. For a good few years the location of the Markaz (Tabligh�s London headquarters), has courted controversy, surrounding planning permission and preparations for the 2012 games. The site for the Markaz was purchased in 2000. It was perceived to be worthless due to the fact that the said land posed a toxic threat. This was way before the success of the 2012 Olympic. Amongst popular consensus, a large number of Muslims find it intriguing that with the Olympics looming large that there is talk of the possibility of looming Islamic terrorism in Newham. The Newham Labour Council has thus far refused planning permission regarding the construction of a building, (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1892780,00.html ) which is very likely to bring considerable benefit to the area. Over the weekend a source from the Markaz who I spoke to expressed his disappointment at what he referred to as, �a very ill conceived and poorly researched article by Lewis.� The member accused the Author of using racist stereotypes, when writing the article in question. �People who go to Church carry out atrocities. Does this mean that the Church is a terrorist body? Far from it� said the member. �This highlights astounding levels of ignorance and a complete lack of understanding of our peaceful nature.� In a nutshell Tablighi excursions usually involve a group of Muslims retiring to a Mosque for a few designated days. Activities involve teaching and learning the tenets of faith, enjoining fellow Muslims towards good by addressing them in lectures in the Mosque or one to one discussions at their residence, business, even on the street. Preaching focusses on increasing piety through devotion to God, thus maintaining positive change within an individual. An essential feature is encouraging Muslims to join the effort of preaching good. Why is there so much focus on Tabligh? Has the effort taken the place of Opus Dei as the new target of ridicule and suspicion? Tablighi activities are the most transparent of any organisation in the world. People involved with the effort have had to live with being villifiesd by fellow Muslims for many years, with accusations of being boring, to harping on with the same repeated messages, and leaving their homes to fulfill so called �missionary roles ( http://www.forum.mpacuk.org/showthread.php?t=99 ). Members have for many years also had to live with the laughable notion that members are CIA agents, with the large (Ijtema) gatherings being funded by Western governments. It�s a lose, lose situation either way. Tabligh is a truly global effort and accusations regarding the Jamaat�s links to terror groups are largely misconstrued. Scrutiny is not alien to the Jamaat, which has been under close monitoring for many years. There is nothing to hide. Do we really believe that members have only been under scrutiny in recent years. Monitoring has been taking place for years on end. There is a quote attributed to Umar Ibn Khattaab the second Caliph of Islam who said: "The one whom I fear most for this Ummah is a man who is an Aalim (learned person) with his tongue, but a Jaahil (ignoramus) in his heart." This description fits those who make negative and false accusations towards this benevolent effort and this has led to unstable and theoretical ramblings. The solution to all this very clear; laying down the gauntlet, I would now like to advise anybody in doubt and seekers of truth like Paul Lewis, to pack their bags and spend 3 or 10 days with a travelling group to see for themselves what all the fuss is all about. The second option is to cut out the James Bong intelligence farce ands use a more sophisticated and old fashioned method of investigation; Pop into the Markaz in Newham or room 5 at the Markaz in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, knock on the door and ask for yourself. Extract from Tablighi preaching: Hadhrat Nu�maan bin Basheer (Radhiallaahu �nhu) says that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) gave an example of people sailing on a boat having an upper deck and a lower deck. The people from the lower deck require water and request water from the people of the upper deck. The people from the upper deck refuse water so the people from the lower deck decide to make a hole on the floor of the ship and get water from the sea. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) said, "If the people from the upper deck don't stop the people at the bottom from making a hole, the ship will sink and all the people travelling will drown." (Mishk�t vol. 2 p. 436) Similarly, if people do not prohibit evil and sin in the society, the entire society -innocent and evil - will equally suffer.

my answer is 'absolutely no!' first of all tableeghi jamaat is not doing tableegh they only ask the muslims to join them for 3, 10, or 40 days etc. no. 2 their way is not according to the Sunnah, as nobody here will be able to prove that for a single time Hazoor (S.A.W) asked any muslim to go to a muslim, recite him the kalima again and then ask him to leave for 3, 10 or 40 days etc to do the same activity. so it is clear that they are not doing tableegh. then why do they call themselves the tableeghi jamaat? it is because they justify it by saying that most of the muslims are mushriks and bidatis so they are going out to make them muslims again. and as far as shirk and bidats are concerned tableeghi jamaat can find all the examples at home. for anybody who requires information about the true agenda of the tablighis and their insight can mail me at kamran_khursheed@hotmail.com and Insha ALLAH i ll prove from their own books that their way of 'tableegh' is not according to The Quran and Sunnah and it is based on a dream of Molvi Ilyas the founder of tableeghi jamat.

a big YES for the effort of tabligh, which is an effort of deen. i was once a muslim by name but now thank to allah to have given me taufiq through the work of tabligh, i now have been a better muslim and is striving to improve myself in the eye of allah, not for men. I was thought of doing everything for the sake of allah. i was given talk about the greatness of allah and slowly it came to my heart (thx to allah for His great mercy). my advise is; for those who are against this work. it's better for them to put their concern and caution about the problem of ummah nowadays. (no people attending mosque for 5 times farz salat, drugs, illegal sexual intercourse, social ill in our community) instead of blaming this work as is bidaah or whatever. taqwa is in the eye of allah. we people cannot blindly judge and label others. after all, this is an effort of calling people towards allah. isnt it good enough? again, have concern more aboout the problem of ummah nowadays. based on true experience, i personally think tabligh is a solution, not a problem. may ALLAH gives his taufiq and understandings about the deen to all ummah of nabi muhammad saw. amin.

Asalamu alaikum. Tableegh is a great work because it is according to sunnah.Each&every person should work actively in this work.This is not the work iliyas, rh but it is the work being taken by allah through people.First allah used to send ambiya for this work.When allah declared that our prophet sws is his last messeger,allah has given this work to this ummah.In accordance to this declarance sahaba deserted their own houses&families to spread rhe message o allah to the entire world.After that taabayeen,tabe tanayeen,auliya allah&all the grt scholars left their homeland to spread the message of allah.Alhamdullillah, this work is still going on through tableegh.ThereIs a point to be noted by every person that generations changed,centuries have passed ,but this work is still going on.why?because this is not the work of any person ,this is the work of allah.allah has taken this work by many people ambiya, sahaba,taabayeen.tabetaabayeen ,auliyaallah&now by tableegh.This work is in great progress ,because allahs help is there with them.No one can do this work without the help of allah. So my sincere request for every one is to join this work.because if we muslims collectively strive in the part of allah,Allah is ready to help us .Alaah will solve all the problems of muslim world.but we should forgive each other &work collectively with love&respecting eachother. LETS PRAY THAT"YA ALLAH UNITE THE HEARTS OF ALL MUSLIMS&OPEN THE DOORS OF HIDAYATH IN WHOLE WORLD.YA ALLAH SPREAD LOVE ,PROSPERITY&PEACE IN WHOLE WORLD. YA ALLAH GIVE ALL THE UMMATH THE TAUFEEQ TO DO OUR PROPHETS SWS WORK COLLECTIVELY WITH LOVE&AFFECTION WITH EACH OTHER. AAAAAAAMEEN

I think that people are confusing the concepts of Tabligh and D'awa They seem to think that the two words are interchangeable. They are not. The Tabligh is a Jamaat- a collective group- and d'awa is an activity they partake in. Some people may not agree with their methods, but at least they are doing some d'awa work. I think it is important to understand that various groups and organisations use different methods in order to reach out to different sectors of society. People complain that there is disunity amongst the muslims... and this is why... why have countless people wasted so much time arguing over semantics. Over petty, worthless issues. there are bigger fish to fry right now. Our brothers and sisters are being slaughtered left, right and centre all over the world and yet we do this. We squabble like toddlers in a playgroup. This is what has led our ummah to be on its knees in this day and ages. Lets face it people, the ummah is bleeding and because of our blind hatred for our own brethren, we can't even find the wound. Love each other for the sake of Allah and let us strive to bring the light of Islam to those who live in jahilliyah and ignorance.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM, I was browsing when I found this site and when I started reading it I found out that Shatan has done a tremendous effort on this site, which is conflict amongst Muslims. Now I am a Tablighi & I do know what we do and whats wrong & right.Moreover I think everyone knows that conflict,anger & jealousy are few things not liked by ALLAH and so I am not going to debate on any particular topic. I've read few answers which are against Tabligh and all I would say is NO. Whatever the brothers have said against Tabligh DO NOT trust it RATHER you go and spent few hours or days with some Tablighi brothers and pray to ALLAH that if this work of Tabligh is TRUE(HAQ) then give me the ability to do this work or otherwise dont. And if possible you should do Istikhara as well so that ALLAH guides you in the right path. ALLAH knows BEST of everything so lets just pray and ask to ALLAH so that we get the GUIDANCE. JAZAKALLAH KHAIR for taking the time to read it all.

Dear muslim brothers, Assalamu alaikum. i have taken time to read the question and various answers put regarding the opinion of people on the Work of this Jamath Tabligh, whether it is right or wrong. i just want to voice my opinion that it is good for muslims to remain united, show good characteristics towards both muslims and non-muslims. Also the muslim brethen who have already accepted tawheed (irrespective of which ever group they may belong to) must come forward to read the Quran, its meaning, tafseer and the hadith pertaining to these ayaths. They should strive to increase their knowledge from The Quran and the Hadith, one that Allah has sent for man's guidance and the other that explains the practical way of living without much difficulty and complication. The most important point of this discussion would be that all muslims remember that they are always muslims, they will not differentiate between one brother and another, irrespective of whatever his capacity of knowledge and understanding of islam the person may have at any point of time. We need to share authentic information on tafseer of quran and hadith, without allowing this discussion to cause discord between muslim brothers. Our intention of discussion, practise of islam and any action be for the cause of Allah alone and not to show superiority over any one particular group or individual. It is important that Allah guide us in the Straight path by giving us knowledge of the Quran and Hadith, to practise for ourselves what this knowledge conveys and to stick to this practise at all times until death may visit our door and we will be answerable to Allah who will be a judge between us. May Allah give us success in duniya and Aakhira. Let us all try to live as muslims without having to live as members of any particular group or faith, but to be a brother in the religion of islam, where the faith of every muslim is the faith which Allah wanted each one of us to have and which was correctly and completely conveyed by the Messenger Mohammed (SAS). May Allah cause every muslim to love his brother, to attain high levels of knowledge in regard to religion and life which will help him on his way to attaining Paradise and which will not make his meeting with Allah a pleasant one. Masalaama.

Some Famous Readings of exposition from GREAT MUJADDITH's OF Deoband 1. Do not try to understand the Qur'�n ever. Else, you will go astray. Fifteen �Uloom� (sciences) are required to understand the Book. (�Maulana� Zakaria Kandhalwi, Fazael Amaal, p.2) 2. Do not read the Qur'�n with understanding, you will go astray. (Fazaael Aamal, �Maulana� Ashraf Ali Thanwi, p. 216) It is mentioned in Aamaal-e-Qur'aani, p. 134 by Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi [published by Jasim Book Depot, Urdu Bazaar, Jama Masjid, Delhi] that if a woman has excessive menstrual bleeding, the verse (Surah Al-'Imran: 3:144) should be written on three different pieces of paper, one tied on her right and the other on her left and the third piece of paper with the Qur'�nic verse to be hung below the naval. This verse of the Qur'aan, "Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful." [Surah Al-'Imran: 3:144] 3. Delaying prayer once will cause a person to burn in the hellfire for 20.88 million years, just because he or she failed to pray on exact time. (�Maulana� Zakaria Kandhalwi, Fazaael Namaz, p.317) 4. Recite the whole Qur'�n in one raka�ah like saints did! [That will amount to more than 50 times of the whole Qur'�n in a single day!] (Fazaael Namaz p.64.) Saints recite 2,000 raka�ahs every day. They keep standing the full one month of Ramadhan reciting the Qur'�n twice a day! (Tableegh-I-Nisab Fazaael Aamal) 5. �Maulana� Ashraf Ali Thanwi separated the way of Salat between men and women in his book �Bahishti Zever.� (Masjid Tauheed, Karachi. Muhammad Sultan) 6. When Shah Waliullah was in his mother�s womb, she said a prayer. Two tiny hands (too) appeared for prayer. She was frightened. Her husband said, "You have Qutubul-Aqtab (Wali of Walis) in your womb (Hikayat-e-Awlia, p. 17 Ashraf Ali Thanwi) What a break-through! 7. Junaid Baghdadi was sitting when a dog crossed by. He merely glanced at the dog. The dog reached such glory that all dogs of the town followed him. Then he sat down and all dogs sat around him in meditation. (Ashraf Ali Thanwi. Imdad-ul- Mushtaq) 8. The holy messenger came to Shah Waliullah (in the 18 century!) and said, �Why do you worry? Your children are the same as mine.� (Ashraf Ali Thanwi, Hikayat-ul-Awlia) 9. The prophet laid the foundation of Darul-Uloom, Deoband, India (in the 19th century) He comes to check accounts of the school. He has learnt the Urdu language. (Mubasshirat-e-Darul Uloom, and Deoband Number of the Darul-Uloom) 10. Mulla Mohammad Qasim Nanotwi saw in his dream that he was sitting in the lap of Allaah. (Biography of Mulla Qasim by Mulla Mohammad Yaqoob Nanotwi) 11. The advent of another Prophet is quite possible. (Mulla Abdul Hai Farangi Mahli and Mulla Qasim Nanotwi, Tahzeer-in-Nas, p.34, Athar Ibn Abbas, p.16) Why blame Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani only? 12. Disrespect to a monk is more perilous than disrespect to Allaah. (Mulla Ashraf Ali Thanwi, Al-Ashraf, p.23, Nov. 1991) 13. Dear reader, now read what p.154 � Islam or Maslak Parasti� says: According to the Qur'�n anything dedicated to other than Allaah in forbidden. It is our maulvi mind who declare virtuous such things as Koondas of Ja�afar Sadiq, halwa of Shabe barat in the name of Owais Qarni, haleem and sherbet of Imam Hussain and Niaz of the 11th in the name of Jeelani! 14. Risala Tazkara of Darul-uloom Deoband of 1965 claims: Anyone suffering from malaria who took dust from the grave of �Maulana� Yaqoob Nanotwi and tied this dust to his body, found instant relief. 15. Allaah cuts jokes with the Ulama of Deoband. One of them went to a well for �Wudu� (Ablution) He lowered the bucket in the well. It came back full of silver. The Holy man said to Allaah: Don�t kid around! I am getting late for prayers. He lowered the bucket in again and this time it came back full of gold. (Risala Tazkara of Darul-uloom Deoband of April 1965) 16. In the night of Meraj (Ascension) Imam Ghazali rebuked Prophet Moses. Mohammed said, " Respect O' Ghazali!" (Malfoozat Haaji Imdaadullaah Muhaajir Makki, Imdad-ul- Mushtaq) by Ashraf Ali Thanwi. [Please note that Ghazali was born centuries after passing away of the holy prophet] 17. Take the right arm of a goat after Friday prayers. Be completely naked. Write Sura Yasin and the name of the person you want, then put the meat in the cooking pot. That person will fall in love with you. (Monthly "Khalid" Deoband Darul Uloom) 18. If you want to kill your enemy write A to T on a piece of bread. Recite Surah "RA'AD.� Break the bread into five pieces and feed them to five dogs. Say to dogs, 'Eat the flesh of my enemy'. By the will of Allaah your enemy will have huge boils on his body. (Darul uloom Deoband "Khalid") 19. Say "Fazabooha" before you cut a melon, or any thing else (for that matter), you will find it sweet. (Aamale-Qurani, Ashraf Ali Thanwi) 20. Recite the verse "When the heaven will split.� Write it (on a piece of paper) and tie to the left thigh of any woman in labor, child birth will become easy. Cut the hair of that woman and burn them between her thighs, childbirth will be easier still. (Aamal-e-Qurani, Ashraf Ali Thanwi) 21. During labor pains let the woman hold Mawatta Imam Malik for instant delivery. (Aamal-e-Qurani, Ashraf Ali Thanwi) 22. See what �Hakeemul Ummat� Thanwi says! Keep reciting "Al Mughni" during sex and the woman will love you. (same book, Ashraf Ali Thanwi) 23.The prophet laid foundation of Darul-Uloom, Deoband, India (in the 19th century). He comes to check accounts of the school. He has learnt Urdu language. (Mubasshirat-e-Darul Uloom, and Deoband Number of the Darul-Uloom) 24. When, "Maulana" Zakaria, the father of "Maulana" Yousuf Bannuri would fall sick, the prophet would come. He told the house servant, "Badshah Khan! I (the holy prophet), am also serving Zakaria. (Bayyanat 1975 Ashraf Ali Thanwi p. 7) 25. The prophet said to sister-in-law of Haaji Imdaadullaah Muhajir Makki, "Get up! I will cook meals for guests of Imdaadullaah." (Bayyanat p. 8, Ashraf Ali Thanwi) 26. �Maulana� Yousuf Ludhianwi taught a simple method to make interest (usury) Halal. Borrow from a non-Muslim. (Masaail-e-Jadeedah) 27. The wife of Mullah Jalaaluddin Rumi thought that his sexual desire had vanished. The Mullah came to know of her suspicion in a special trance of revelation (KASHF). That night he went to the wife and drilled her 70 times. (Please excuse the language) So much so that she asked forgiveness. (Manaqib-il-Arifain, p.70, by Shamsuddin Akhlaqi) Now please witness how far these Mujaddith's of Deoband can go! See what garbage Mulla Ashraf Ali Thanwi is trying to unload. The same Thanwi whom other Mullahs call �Hakeem-ul-Ummat�! 28. He writes on p.110 in �Imdaadul Mushtaq�: There was a true monotheist. People told him if delicious food is part of the person of Allaah and feces too is a part of Him, eat both. Well, the Sheikh first became a pig and ate feces. Then he became a human being and ate food! Isn�t that height of "wisdom" of our wise of the nation!� 29. Here is another pearl of wisdom from him: There was a Pir Sadiq from Ashraf Ali Thanwi�s town. He taught his disciples �There is no God but Allah and Sadiq is His messenger.� {Astaghfirullaah} The wise of the nation Thanwi declared that teaching OK. (Imane Khalis, p.109, Hazrat Masood Uthmani) 30. The holy messenger comes to Mulla Qasim Nanotwi and other big shots of Deoband, U.P to learn Urdu. He also checks accounts of the Madrasah. (Numerous references such as Haqaiq-o-Maarif, Deoband May 1975). 31. "Maulana� Yousuf Bannuri writes: The Prophet told my father, Zakaria! When you fall sick I also fall sick. Hazrat Ali had come to conduct the marriage of my father and mother. (In the 19th century!) (Iman-e-Khalis, pp. 7 and 8, Hazrat Masooduddin Usmani, Fazil Uloom Deenia) -----------------------------------------------------------

Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh (Tablighi Jamat) Name of group - Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh, also known as Tablighi Jamat Adherent to group - Tableeghee, also known as Tablighi, or T.J. The da'wah of the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh is based upon spreading the merits of Islaam to everyone they are able to reach. This entails it's adherents to give up some of their time to go out and spread and propogate the da'wah keeping well away from political and partisan issues. It's members are compelled into going out (khurooj) to give da'wah and mix with the Muslims in their masaajid, houses and businesses and give words of advice and encourage them to come out with them to give da'wah. They advise that no members should get themselves involved in any quarrels with the Muslims or the government. Foundation and major personalities - The founder was called Shaykh Muhammad Ilyaas al-Kaandahlawee who was born in Kaandahlah, a village in the region of Sahaaranfoor in India in 1303 A.H. (1887 C.E.) (died 1364 A.H. / 1948 C.E.). Initially, he sought knowledge in this village, then later travelled to Delhi where he completed his studies at the Madrasah Deoband which is amongst the biggest Hanafee schools in the Indian sub-continent, which was setup in the year 1283 A.H. (1867 C.E.). He also sought knowledge under the guardianship of his older brother, Shaykh Muhammad Yahya, who was a teacher at the Madrasah Mathaahir al-'Uloom in Sahaaranfoor. Later, he studied under Shaykh Ashraf 'Alee Thanwee (1280 A.H. (1863 C.E.) - 1364 A.H. (1943 C.E.)), who was known to them as ((Hakeem al-Ummah)). Likewise, he also studied under Shaykh Mahmood Hasan (1268 A.H. (1851 C.E.) - 1339 A.H. (1920 C.E.)) who was amongst the major scholars of the Madrasah Deoband and the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh. As for Shaykh Rasheed Ahmad al-Kankoohee, born in 1829 C.E. (died 1905 C.E.); Shaykh Muhammad Ilyaas actually gave bay'ah (oath of allegiance) to him in 1315 A.H. (1899 C.E.). He later renewed his bay'ah (oath of allegiance) to Shaykh Khaleel Ahmad as-Sahaaranfooree who was one of the scholars of the Deobandiyyah group. - Shaykh 'Abdur-Raheem Shaah ad-Deobandee at-Tableeghee spent alot of time in organising the affaris of the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh along with Muhammad Ilyaas and his son Shaykh Muhammad Yoosuf after him. - Shaykh Ihtishaam al-Hasan al-Kaandahlawee married the sister of Muhammad Ilyaas, and spent a long time commanding the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh whilst in the companionship of Shaykh Muhammad Ilyaas, its founder. Thoughts and beliefs The founder stipulated six maxims which he established as the fundamentals of his da'wah, with all members taking care to memorise them and propogate them in their da'wah efforts: 1) al-Kalimah at-Tayyibah (declaration of faith - ((Laa ilaaha il-Allaah Muhammad Rasool-Allaah))) ; 2) al-Khushoo' fis-salaah (offering prayers with full concentration); 3) al-'Ilm wadh-Dhikr (knowledge and remembrance); 4) Ikraam al-Muslimeen (honouring the Muslims); 5) al-Ikhlaas (sincerity); 6) al-Khurooj fee sabeel-Allaah (going out in the path of Allaah). Their manner of propogating their da'wah is as follows: A group from amongst them is designated to go to a particular area/town/country, whereby each member of the goup takes with them basic means upon which to sleep and other basic items which shall suffice. When they arrive at their destination, they organise themselves in a manner whereby some of them begin cleaning the place where they shall be resting during their stay in the area; Whilst others amongst them will go out to the market places and the like remembering Allaah and calling the people to listen to their talk (bayaan - as they call it). When the time for the bayaan arrives, they all gather together to listen to it. And after the bayaan has finished, they request members of the gathering to come out with them in the path of Allaah. And after Salaat al-Fajr, they divide the group of people who are present into groups where a group leader is appointed for each group. Then the group leader undertakes the responsibility of teaching his group members Soorah al-Faatihah and other small Soorah's of the Qur.aan. They continue in this way day in day out. Before their period of stay is over, they encourage the people of the area to come out with them to spread their da'wah, such that some people volunteer to join them for three days or a week or a month. Each one according to his ability and circumstances, their giving up their time in accordance with the saying of Allaah: {You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind}, [Soorah Aal-'Imraan, Aayah 110]. And the preferred time for going out is a day in a week, and three days in a month and 40 days in a year and 4 months in a lifetime. - They refuse invitations to attend social functions made by the people of the area they have settled in for their period of da'wah; their intention being not to busy themselves with anything other than issues of da'wah and remembrance, and that their actions are soley for the sake of Allaah. - They do not interfere in issues of forbidding the evil, believing they are at the stage of establishing an appropriate climate for Islaamic living, and that if they were to involve themselves in such issues, then this would place obstacles in their way and turn the people away from their da'wah. - They believe that if they correct their individuals (members) one-by-one then the evil will be automatically eradicated from amongst the masses. - That going out and propogating their da'wah da'wah to the people helps in nurturing the da'ee and cultivating his actions, such that he feels he is an example for others to follow and that he adheres to that which he is calling the people to. - They believe that blind following a madhhab is obligatory, and they do not permit ijtihaad, believing that the conditions of a mujtahid (one who is qualified to make ijtihaad) are not present amongst the scholars of this time. - They have been affected by the ways of the Soofiyyah, whose da'wah is widespread in the Indian sub-continent. For example: - It is imperative for every member of the Jamaa'ah at-Tableegh to have a Shaykh to whom he makes bay'ah (oath of allegiance) to, and whoever was to die whilst not having made bay'ah, then he has died the death of those in pre-Islaam. And often is the case that the bay'ah takes place in a public gathering so as to encourage all present to do likewise and give them all an impression that they are all in this together as one group. And the same is done amongst the women also. - Excessive love and respect is shown to the Shaykh to whom bay'ah has been given, as is excessive love shown to the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), that which often takes them out of the fold of displaying appropriate respect to the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). - Their belief that the way of the Soofiyyah is the closest way to taste the sweetness of eemaan in the heart. - Their being taught the names of the major personalities of the Soofiyyah such as 'Abdul-Qaadir al-Jeelaanee, who was born in Jeelaan in 470 A.H., and also as-Sahrooree, and Abu Mansoor al-Maatureedee who died in 332 A.H., and Jalaal ad-Deen ar-Roomee who was born in 604 A.H., who wrote the book al-Mathnawee. - They have been affected by the way of the Soofiyyah, in particular the Chishtiyyah, the Qaadiriyyah, the Naqshbandiyyah and the Sahroordiyyah in India. - There are some members who claim to have adopted the thoughts of the Jamaa'ah an-Noor of Turkey. - Their da'wah is based upon the arousal of interest and intimidation combined, and thereby causing emotive and affective feelings. They have, thereby managed to enlist in the name of eemaan, many who have immersed themselves into sins and desires, and have directed them to worship and remembrance. - They do not speak about political issues, and discourage their members from getting involved in these problematic issues, criticising those who do get involved. They say that politics is to leave politics. - They misinterpret the ahaadeeth pertaining to jihaad, claiming it means to go out and give da'wah, this being to such an extent that their members quite possibly have forgotten about the real meaning of jihaad in the path of Allaah. - They are very lenient when it comes to narrating weak ahaadeeth. - Their main points of reference appear to be the Qur.aan and the Sunnah, however, in terms of 'aqeedah, they turn to the understandings of their founding Shaykhs of the Indian sub-continent, and that being the 'aqeedah of the Maatureediyyah upon the Hanafee madhhab. - In the Arab lands they make a point of referring to Imaam an-Nawawee's Riyaadh as-Saaliheen, whereas in non-Arab lands they refer to the Tableeghee Nisaab (Tablighi Nisab) and Hayaah as-Sahaabah (Hayat Al-Sahabah), and this being full of incorrect information and weak ahaadeeth. Their da'wah began in India, and then spread to Pakistan and Bangladesh, then later spreading to the rest of the Islaamic world, even in Arabia - such that they now have followers in Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. They also have followers in Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Their worldwide headquarters is in Nizaamuddeen in Delhi, where they administer their da'wah affairs worldwide. Their headquarters in the western world is in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, UK.

To anyone out there refuting the work of tabligh... let me ask u some simple questions 1. what is your source of knowledge. who taught u about deen (obviously u didnt derive it urself) i know u'llsay Quraan, hadeeth etc. but did u derive the laws from the quraan yourself? did u seeach n narrate hadiths yourself? NO, you learnt it from books and ur teacher, scholars. SO THEREFORE U ARE BLINDLY FOLLOWING THEM. therefore before accusing tabligh of blindly following HANAFI madhab go n do some solid research as to why it is incumbent to follow a madhab. Can u refute ONE opinion of IMAM ABU HANIFAH? 2. For those who say tabligh does not speak about Tawheed, practices bidaah, grave worship etc. i invite u to take some time out with any jamaat n see for yourself 3. as for biographies of scholars of deoband etc... all i can say is that its too easy to get all types of text(from the internet); misquoted and totally out of context; in relation to these scholars. 4. as of the Weak narrations used in Fadhaail Amaal... the criticiser should make a thorough research on Usool e Hadith, and the permissibility of using such n such hadith. N also as to how a weak narration may be considered Before passing a judgement on the taste of a fruit its better u taste it n pass the judgement

salam, My dear brother and sister in Islam, Going to tabligh ( inviting people in the fold of Islam) is an obligation and it is found in the shariah,(Qur'an and Sunnah). It is important to note that it also mentioned in the glorious Qur'an (part of its meaning) says that reminding is beneficial to the believers. Hence I believe that answers the question. Now to comment to my brothers in Da'awa let us strengthen ourselves in practicing the Six fundamental and be ready to live a complete way of life. Live Islam ( live a complete way of life) Lastly, to all my brother and sister in Islam let us avoid discussion if possible. Let us refrain from using the world "only" in our comment if it is not from the Qur'an and Sunnah for this word invites argument. May ALLAH endow us the "sifat" of the pious.

So Aqaidh is the key to Jannah, say a man enters islam by uttering kalima and dies before the next waqth of salah, Insha Allah He enters jannah according to sunnath wal jamaath scholars, Badr sahabas when they engaged in that war, never - even seen the whole Qur'annor they have kept fasting for the whole month, nor they even attained one lailathul qadr, nor they would have prayed like us, but exalted are their status that no others can attain thier darjah till yawmul qiyaamah and again it is sunnath wal jamaath'sbelief. such is the power of their Iman.(Those who called themselves salafs can verify the above statements through various saheeh hadees themselves if they ever need.) "Ya aiyuhalladhiena aamanu, aaminubillah wa rasool" - When our Aquida is imperfect,everlasting hell is the destination, but naqs in A'maalis always forgivable if Allah wills. Although one may suffer hell due to his/her negligence in a'maallater he/she is bound to be in heaven for his/her sahih aquida, Indeed Allah forgives all sins except Associating partners with HIM. But what about A'maalSalihaah, Aamanu wa amilus saaliha is what the Qur'ansays. so a'maalalso is very important after Aquida. Is the prayer not for muslim then for whom ?, Is fasting, giving out zakaah, performing haj are all not for muslim then for whom? Each and every practice of our beloved prophet should be adhered by all muslims, that includes having beared also. Sunnah for whom then, is it not for muslims?, Are you following some other prophet then.? To know Islam and usool-al fiqh in a proper way , Following a Madhhab is very much necessary. Hanafi Imam is undoubtly a great Imam and he is Taabi. Infact all four madhab imaams hanafi,shaafi,hanbali and maliki are surely respected ones. Without proper "wuzu" your prayers will not be accepted, and without following mazhab you cannot know what are the farz, waajib, sunnah and other details of wuzu itself, and then Salaah,o dear salafis your mordern corrupted brain is not going to be as sharp and clean as our imaams whom are blessed ones of our beloved prophet. Tabligue jamaath is doing excellent job in making muslims to pray five times, teach muslims various duas, teach muslims the importance of fasting, teach muslims to love rasoolullah and teach them to respect Imaams of greater cadre. Let Allah bless this jamaath more. wassalaam.

ASSALAM O ALIKUM Tableeg Jammat is about making faith pure. Its main focus is on purely believing " Every thing happens with the will of Allah. The creations of Allah cannot do any thing, cannot benifit to any one with out the will of Allah." Remeber There is NO GOD but ALLAH, Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. (peace be upon Him) Tableegi jammat wants every Muslim to just believe 100 percent on the above declaration. For that we have to join or adopt the climate, where every one is practicing it, like a scientist need a climate for his experiments i.e. LABORTARY not ground. Similarly if one wants to purify his faith then he/she has to adopt the similar climate i.e. Mosque. Then its SALAT, ZIKAR, BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAM, RESPECT OF MUSLIMS, DOING DEEDS FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH i.e. IKLAS, DAWA. Please brothers and sisters. We are one Ummah, and we all got responsibility given by our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him)that even if we know one section of Islam then we have to spread it to all the humanity, as much as we can. and if we starts fighting or making proppaganda like jews and christians then think where are we standing. See the real facts done by Tableegi Jammat in Europe, USA, UK, ISRAIL etc. come and see it with your own eye. THERE IS A QUESTION is there any Dawa Jammat besides Tableegi Jammat doing Dawa from last 90 years with the will of Allah. Do you know Christians got millions of michnery groups. And we Muslims got limited one, even these limited ones are facing strict and harsh words from there own Muslim brothers. COME ON even now in this era. PLEASE UNITE. DO DAWA PLEASE. Just spend 3 days in Allah way and see it yourself what realy it is, and how much Allah help is with it. REMEMBER one cannot measure the depth of water without going inside. WASALAM. BLESSINGS OF ALLAH ON ALL OF YOU.

Alhamdulillah, wassalatuwassalamalarasoolallah. The work that the brothers of our tablighi jammat are doing is good but it needs some modifications.The ultimate source of muslims ie the Glorious Quran and sahih hadith books should strictly be followed.The brothers before going for tabligh should atleast have good knowledge of the Quran and Hadith and the phrase"buzurgun se suna hai should be avoided" and instead Allah says in the Quran and the Holy Prophet(p.b.u.h)said should be used.One more thing i want to say is that you should even do da'waa among the non muslims which is lacking in tabligi jamaat(refer to the Quran surah Ale Imran chapter 3 verse 64) Jazakallahu khairan

salam, firstly i would just like to say that, those brothers that think tabligh is the only way to give dawa and that it is a path of God then fear Allah the most high, because this thought in my opinion is wrong. take for example the concept of 3 days 40 days and 4 months etc, this is no where to be found in the sunnah of the prothet (saws) neither the sunnah of the sahabas may Allah be pleased with them. so therefore how can you call this the path of Allah. let alone dawa. which by the way is only focused on the muslims, which shouldnt be the case. Dawa is for the whole of mankind. seconldy, intensions. for veryliy all actions are judged according to intentions, and ive personally been for 3 days and ive noticed in every talk in every outing the intention is not for tawheed and salah and fasting and zakat and hajj. but the main intention is to call people for tabligh. so where is the reward for telling people to come for salah when the intention is to call them to tabligh when they sit with you. For verliy Allah knows best. lastly i would like to say that dawa is spread by charahcter and actions so how can you do this if your 24/7 in the mosque. i belive that one of the best ways to strive in dawa is first through the families then your neighbours. then use that which is available to us for example the media. wassalam alaikum.

Islam had already spread and was/is spreading prior/before The Tabligh Jama'at(TJ) erupted. It is submitted that Muslims had lapsed into heresy (bida'at and TJ wants to eradicate this nuisance of heresy (because they are so much concerned about the welfare of Muslims). So the argument is: 1. For how many years did the Muslims had fallen into this evil. 2. Then necessarily all the 'Ulema of these years were guilty of not forming a Tabligh Jama'at And all the Muslims were equally sinful. Or there were no 'Ulema for these many years. 3. Whereas it is a known fact that Allah Subhanu Wa Ta'alawill emerge a Mujaddid in every century. 4. The hadith is very common, which narrates that towards the doomsday ignorant, wicked people, and men of worldly passions will preside over Muslims' affairs. 5. Majority of my friends and relatives are professing TJ. I must confess that none is honest in dealings and are highly deceptives. Lying is their way of living. I attribute this defect out of their extreme IGNORANCE (jaahilyah). 6. Surprisingly I do Tabligh to them all along. They accept but are too ignorant/haughty to change paths. 7. Their confusion of Tabligh being the way of the Prophet/Ashaab is from they not realising that certain traits are common to all the humans. Tabligh is one of them. How have the missionaries of other religions and sects able to obtain followers. Indeed thru TABLIGH (which means calling to a religion/ideology). There are millions of Christians, scores of Hindus, Brahmins, Buddhists, Atheists, Jains, Ahmedis. So are they to be treated as products of Tabligh. 8. The Prophet and his Ashaab doing this on few occasions does not give copyright to the TJ of their own versions and calling it a Sunnah. 9. People of other religions clap and dance and play music in their worships and say this is their devotion to God. That does not approve them as believers. Similarly TJ devising their own way and then claiming this is the way of the Prophet and his Ashaab does not absolve them of forming a sinful bida'ah 10. Islam was spread by the Awliya Allah, who in entirety were Sufis. Their authenticity were backed by KARAAMAT. If they did not stop Muslims from visiting the graves, performing Mawlids, celebrating Eid-e-Milad An-Nabi, saying Ya Rasulullah, following the 4 madhaaib (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali) then the latter sunni denominations like Wahhabi/Salafi, Ahle-Hadith, Jama'atAt-Tabligh, The Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb-Ut-Tahrir, Jama'atE-Islami, Ahle-Quran, etc are all to be discarded. Each of them calling themselves Ahle-Sunnah-Wal-Jama'ahis only a camouflage.

A Sunni organization in Turkey publishes and distributes BOOKS free of cost. The materials are JEWELS. Virtually a person becomes highly learned in Islam after reading and understanding them books. One becomes convinced why the Ahle-Sunnat-Wal-Jama'at is the correct group. Their books explain in details all the aspects of Islam from worships, sharia, history of Islam, etc. Their address is: Hakikat Kitabevi Darussefeka Cad 57 P.K. 35 34262 Fatih - ISTANBUL TURKEY Tel: 90-212-5234556 Fax: 90-212-5255979 Web: www.hakikatkitabevi.com I was with the Tablighi Jama'at for about 14 months. I was new to Islam and took each of their word and actions as proof of Islam. I was highly disciplined and devotional to their programme. I began having spiritual insights and started to have a vaccum of several questions. The learned ones had no solutions and I was getting uneasy day by day. I still stuck to them thinking that my questions may be unrealistic. Then on reading the translations of the Qura'an again and again several times I was finding their projections in direct contrast. I wanted answers to them. The so called learned ones would rebuke and ask me to leave. I still said to myself 'NO' it must be me who's in the wrong. I then accidentally laid hands on a few Bayaan of the Sunni 'ulema as also few books. That was the turning point and I left the Tabligh Jama'at deviations. Tabligh Jama'at starts with basics and remains stagnant. The learned ones will quote numerous hadiths and may be hafiz al quran, muftis,etc. They may give speeches to which it may appear as ocean of 'ilm to the laymen. IGNORANCE is the key-word of this group. I have been involved in reading widely since then. I have also come across several books written by Western historians competent in Islamic history and also books written by many western converts to Islam. They are all in conformity with The Sunni writings. Tabligh Jama'at is the one that in attempting to prove the tawhid of Allah falls into the pitfalls of degrading the prophets and the awliyaa. Whereas to their own leaders they extoll them to the sky. One example would suffice. Their members commenting on the Shrines in India say; that how do we know that they indeed were awliyaa to their last breath. Only Allah knows in what state a person dies. I argued that this must the same for Moinuddin Chisti Ajmeri (Khwaja Gharib Nawaaz) and they say "YES". I then argue that this indeed must be the same for Mawlana Ilyas, Ashrafali Thanvi, Shaikh Zakariyya, etc. They say "NO" look at their works, their efforts. Look how the Tabligh work has spread. How can they not be awliyaa. The reader is now asked to make his/her own judgements. I still attend their 'ulema speeches with a good intention. But unfortunatley almost every bayaan would leave some space for criticism. Several of their speeches would include Our Elders have said so. This signifies that the tablighi jama'at is a propagation of their leaders and their aqeedah in the mask of sunnat. They seldom promote the biography of the Awliyaa. The members would appear to know a great deal about their chieftains. But wouldn't know even the names of few Awliyaa, who are the inheritors of the Prophet (in 'ilm and propagating the deen). They are too rigid, and for them Islam constitutes of Do's and Don'ts only. They do not stick to their words and keep changing. Example they used to say that reciting the tasbih, making nazr (vows), eating in the mosques, doing Qura'an Khwaani, reciting the Naat, reciting the duas aloud after namaaz, becoming mureed, ta'awiz, etc were bidaats. Today they themselves are clinging to these. They do not commemorate the night of Miraj An Nabi. They used to do this before. How a night cannot be auspicious whose narration has come in the Quran itself. But they indeed commemorate the night of Bara'at, whose mention is not in the Quran. Although both the nights are auspicious. This is my tabligh of making people aware that the true creed is that of the Sunnis, and i'm sure an unbiased person should read and compare and then decide which one is the correct one. Wassalaam

My Brothers! All the above fight is because of different sects that the ummah has been divided into. Please now we have to come out of all this. Tableegh is fardh. The way it should be done can be diffrent. Rather than spending our times in refuting each others sect i.e. all muslim sunni sects (deobandi, barelvi, ahle-hadith, salafis, etc), please help each other as one ummah in the work of dawah, which ever style it may be done. These days, no doubt, the way tableeghi jamaat runs, in a simple and impressive way, is appealing and beneficial. There may be other times when some other method is useful. As far as all these methods are derived from quraan and sunnah, or the ulamaa of the time support it. It is a difficult situation, i know, because we are divided into sects and we all try to proof our own beliefs the best. May Allah guide us all.

Asalamalaikum my brothers/sisters in faith Well, its quite interesting for me to see all the points offending and defending works of this jamaat. i was invited to islam by workers of this jamaat. Now, I know (and firmly believe) that "There is no any God but Allah. Prophet Muhammad is final messenger of God. No prophet will come after him. it is obliged upon every muslim to have right belief, do good deeds, enjoin good and forbid evil and strive for gaining right knowledge and spreading deen." I respect imams and followers of all Madhavs and salafi and ahle hadith because they are striving for deen.But one question- I met many muslims but nobody gave me dawah to this good religion except the people associated with this jamaat work, WHY?

QUOTE 1: Moulana Zakariyah mentions in Fazaail-e-Hajj, “Once one of the Abdaal met Khidr and inquired from him whether he had ever met anyone among the saints whom he considered higher in rank than himself. To this he replied, ‘Yes, I have. I was present once in the Masjid in Medina, where I saw Hazrat Shaikh Abdur Razzak directing Hadeeth to his students. On one side was a young man sitting with his head bent on his knees. I went to him and addressed him thus, ‘do you not see the gathering listening to the words of Rasoolullah. Why do you not join them?’ Without lifting up his head or turning in my direction the youth answered: “Over there you see those who listen to the Hadeeth from the mouth of Abdur-Razzak (the slave of the sustainer), while over here you see him who listens to Hadeeth directly from Ar-Razzak (Allah).” Khidr said to him, “If what you say is true then you should be able to tell me who I am. Who am I?” He lifted up his head and said, ‘If my intuition does not fail me then you are Khidr.’ Hazrat Khidr said, “From that I realized that among the saints of Allah there are such who are so exalted in rank that I cannot recognize them.” [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, Virtues of Hajj, (Eng. Trans.), Chapter.9, story no.9, p.171, (New Edition 1982, Published by Dini Book Depot - Delhi).] NOTE: The Deobandi translator of Ikhmaalush Shiyaam defines an Abdaal saying, “Abdaal are a class of Awliya whose identities remain concealed. They possess miraculous powers and execute a variety of tasks under Divine Command in various places of the world.” (Astagfir-Allah) [Ikhmaalush Shiyaam (Eng. Trans.) p.59.] This Deviant Story Promotes that the false belief that someone can receive knowledge directly from Allah without the mediation of the Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) and to receive knowledge from Allah is something specific for the Messengers. This store make this so-called Abdaal equal to Prophet Moosa (alaihis-salam) and our Messenger Muhammed (sallaallahu alaihe wa-sallam) who spoke directly to Allah. QUOTE 2: Allah says in the Quraan, “Verily! Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the womb. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.” [Soorah Luqman (31): 34] But the Fazaail Aamal says, “Abul Husain Maliki says that he associated with Shaikh Khair Nurbaf for several years. The Shaikh said to him, eight days before his death. ‘I shall die on Thursday evening, at the time of Maghrib Salaat, and I shall be buried on Friday after Jumuah Salaat.” Although, he advised me not to forget, but I forgot about it and, on Friday morning, a man told me about the Shaikh’s death. I immediately went to his place… asked people the details of the Shaikh’s experience of death. A person… narrated to me that the Shaikh swooned for a while just before Maghrib Salaat. Then, he recovered somewhat and said to someone in the corner of the room, who was invisible to others, ‘Stop for a while; you have been commanded to do a thing and I have been commanded to do a thing. That which you are commanded to do (viz. to take my life) will not escape you, but that which I am commanded to do (viz. to observe Maghrib Salaat) will escape me. Let me do as I am commanded.” He then called for water, made a fresh Wudhu and performed Maghrib Salaat. After this, he laid himself on the bed, closed his eyes and gave up his life.” [Fazaail-e-Aamaal, (Eng. Trans.) Virtues of Charity, Chapter.6, p.609, (2nd South African Impression 1414-1993. Published by Waterval Islamic Institute)] This Deviant Story Promotes that certain individuals know the place and time of their death and even make the Angel of Death wait until they have finished their prayers.

Dawah (inviting people to Islam) and Tabligh (conveying the Message) is a collective responsibility of the whole Ummah and an act of great reward as it has been declared a distinguishing characteristic of this Ummah by the Qur'an[See Albaqarah 2:104, 110. Yusuf 12:108. Hamim Al Sajjdah 41:33] Dawah falls in two categories: Inviting Muslims to follow the religion. It has two levels: Special or Individual. Every Muslim is required to inform his household and people under his care about religious instructions and to forbid them from performing the munkarat (evils). Quran and Hadith clearly declare it a mandatory duty of everyone. ["Everyone of you is a supervisor and everyone will be asked about those given in his supervision�." Hadith] In addition, if a particular person alone is in a position to influence another person, and there is a major expectation of his effectiveness, the first person is required to try to correct the behavior of the other person, even though the other person may not be his family member or subordinate. ["If anyone of you witnesses an evil, he should correct it by his hand. If he is not in a position to do so, then by his tongue. If he is not in a position to do so then by his heart. And that is the lowest level of Iman." Muslim] This level of Dawah is Fard Ayn (mandatory individual duty). General or Collective. This involves addressing the Muslims collectively to enjoin good and forbid evil. This is Fard Kifayah or collective responsibility which means that it is a responsibility of everyone who is capable of doing this kind of Dawah but if some people discharge this duty then the burden would be lifted from others. Otherwise, everyone would be in sin.This collective responsibility requires an organized effort designed to perform it according to the teachings of Shariah. The jurists have explained that if the Muslim government fails to perform this function, it would be the responsibility of the common Muslims to establish a group to discharge this responsibility. It does not mean that a formal association must be launched but it does mean that sufficient number of persons should come forward for this purpose whether or not they are part of a formal organization. Inviting non-Muslims to Islam. Every Muslim in general and the particular group mentioned above, specially would be responsible for this Dawah. It should be noted that Shariah has not prescribed a special format for the Dawah effort. Whether it is performed by going to homes as Jama'ahTabligh does, or through writings or publications, or through any other means, the responsibility would be discharged. This explains that it is not Fard Ayn for every Muslim to participate in the work of Tablighi Jamat because a) Dawah at the general level is not Fard Ayn and b) the particular style of work adopted by the Tablighi Jama'ahis not mandated by the Shariah. However, since the work of Tablighi Jama'ah with the blessings of Allah, has been greatly beneficial and it has proven to be an effective means of countering the work of anti-religious forces, therefore cooperating with this Jama'ahand participating in its work to the maximum extent possible is an act of great reward. Doing it with balance and within the limits prescribed by the jurists is a very effective means of protecting ourselves and the Ummah. There may be a situation in which participating in the work of this Jama'ahmay become Fard Ayn for an individual. Consider the case of a person who has no religious training and who is ignorant of the basic religious teachings concerning his life. For him it is mandatory to seek the minimally necessary religious education and training. If such a person finds no other means of getting this basic instruction other than going out with the Tablighi Jama'ah then for him it would be required to join this Jama'ah If this person does have access to other means like sitting in the company of scholars, or joining a religious school, etc. then it would not be mandatory for him to join the Jama'ah The participation would still be desirable because of the benefits that we have seen through experience. Comments by Justice Mufti Taqi Usmani I concur with the above Fatwa. The discussion of Fard Ayn and Fard Kifayah included here is in accordance with the juristic evidence. However, it does not diminish the importance of the work of Tabligh and it should not be used as a basis for reluctance in this matter. In our times when the forces of evil are very active, the work of Tabligh and Dawah has assumed special importance and Masha-Allah Jama'ahTabligh is, overall, discharging this responsibility very well. Therefore, Muslims should cooperate with it. At the same time, efforts should be continued to correct the overstatements (ghuloo) made by some of its members. And Allah knows best

So much have been said about Tableeghi Jama'at. The Prophet said: Make yourself a learner or a teacher or listener, don't make your a 4th one, Fatuhlak... this is one of the problem of this Ummah this days, we condemn our brethren who are doing a great job/service for this Ummah. Jama'at Tabligh is doing very fine in rectifying themselves, their families, their relatives and then the other people. Throughtout the years, I've been with the Jama'at and as a matter of fact, i've been in India, Nizamuddin. I am sorry to say that all the accusations mentioned above (ie, praying at the graves, innovations and shirk) are totally false. What the Tabligh Jama'at telling the People is to have Yaqeen to the Qudrat of Allah, that Allah can do whatever he wishes without any help from human being, and that human being cannot do anything without the help and will of Allah. The tell the people to believe in Allah in the way of the Propeht Mohammad (Peace be upon Him). They tell people to go out in the path of Allah to rectify themselves, to have correct AQEEDAH/EIMAN. They tell people to establish PRAYER 5 times a day in its proper time (Jama'ah at the Masjid). They encourage people to seek knowledge and remember Allah 24 hours a day. They tell people to be good to the the brother Muslims. They tell people to do all Ebaadat (Worship) for the sake of Allah only. They tell people to go out and enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong, and they people to make themselves busy with A'amal that will bring nearer to Allah and avoid spending their time for nothing that will lead them to Hell. 3 days, 40 days and 4 months are only a pattern to learn the basics of Islam. just like spending 4 years in Elementary, High School or College. Once you finished your college, you will be authorized to practice what you have learned (Major such Engineering, accounting etc). Likewise, once you spent 4 months many times, you are learning Islam more and more and the more you spend the more you want to spend more until you will dedicate your whole life for the preaching of Islam and the Qudrat of Allah in the way of Prophet Mohammad SAW. Let us support one another, not condemn one another as that is in contradiction with the saying of our beloved Prophet, SAW. If we continue on condemning Jama'at Tabligh, we'll earn nothing... If something is wrong with the way they preach Islam, I am sure Allah will guide them on how to the right path. Allah says: Wallajheena Jaahadu Feena Lanahdiyannahum Subulana innallaaha Lama'al mohsineen.... May Allah guide us all and accept us to his vast gardens...

a/s/aleykum Dear respected brothers & sisters The only people who ever become against tabliq was the kufars who laughed and stoned the prophet, Have u ever expereinced this ever stoned at, well i was with a group of jama a tabliq who was stoned at and was bleeding very bad and the only crime they commited was they invite the people in the village to do Good, just like when the prophet went to Daif, calling them the missed guided group proofs wat those who rejected the warner(Prophet) came to them check the story of the salafa saalih, Concerning ( Fazail Amal )seen things which others dont see also u will find this In umar ibnu Khadaab amir ul muminiin inthe war of TABUK while he was giving Qudba on Friday In Madina he spoke to someone in Tabuk miles away from Madina you will find this inthe Sira hayadu sahaba, Maybe Umar (RA) would not be suficient for you How about wat the Salafi Sheikh say about this >Look at fadawa Ibnu Taymiyah Vol;11 Page 314 Mericles of Saints He said they see wat we dont see and hear wat we dont hear because they are freinds of Allah, For your information Tabliq dont just preachs Tawhiid but they also make sucriface for it they love for there Brothers wat they love for themself which the prophet said its not a true bleiver and less the person do wat i have just mentioned Are you still confused well listen How came all the ulama starts there Books with Iman and then Dahar and then Salat Its not the Suna of the Prophet? How came Madina University they say you will study deen 4 years or 6 to study deen (Religion) The prophet never said you can learn the Deen for 4 years or 6 where did they get this? When you find the answer then you will know why Jama Tabliq Say 3 or 40 or xxxetc My quasition is why did Allah put last when he said you are the best of the people because you invite people to do good and for bit bad and to bleive in Allah to the (nears meaning?) Why not say You are the best of the people to invite people in allh and for bit bad and invite good? Why first invite people to good, Before you say anything check inthe tafsiir Ibn Kathir Or Any Dear Brothers and Sisters I am not here to change of what you think But want to let you know the only one's who abosed this afford was known to be kufars even though they dont know they were rejecting the trueth because they thought they were the true sect, like Abu Jahl when he came to the war of Badar he said O ALLAH RESCUE THE ONE WHO IS INTHE RIGHT BETWEEN ME AND MUHAMMED (SAW) hE THOUGHT MUHAMMED WAS ON THE WRONG SECT AND HE WAS ONTHE RIGHT BUT ALLAH HAVE RESCUED HIS PROPHET AND ABU JAHL WAS DOOMED FOR EVER, Think before you speak and stop attacking those who follow Imam Abu Hanifa Madhab I follow Imam Shafi,But love Imam Abu Hanifa If you dont know who he was Abu Hanifa check wat Imam Shafi say about him.The last but not the most just to let you know everyone is a follower of some Sheikh< You are taking these words from some sheikh and less Satan is your Sheikh, Concerning the 4 Imams saying if you find a Sahiih Hadith throw my word and take the Hadith , that is a challenge You will find Hadith wich is Sahih in muslim Is Daif in Buqari or Hadith wich is sahiih in the side of Imam shafi is Daif in the side of Imam Yusuf Dahawi The challenge is still on, bring your Your sahih Hadith we will look if it fits the conditions of the Salaf Like Abu Hanifa & Imam Malik & Imam Shafi'a& Ahmad Ibn Hamble You still need more information go and study before youstart saying things which will dis please Allah

I've never heard of this jamaat tableegh until today. I did some reading on it and its origins are very questionable to me. I see so many of you agreeing with this "work" but what work are you doing? Muslims should be undivided...who cares about this sects and division and different jamaats. Being a good muslim is hard in today's society but when it really comes down to it, all you have to do is remember Allah. Islam is a great religion and i'veheard that this jamaat tableegh discourages the propagation of islam to other non-muslim countries. THATS INSANE? Why would any muslim want to deny this beautiful religion to anyone else. Where is the Ummah when everyone is divided?

BROTHERS AND SISTER.... TABLIQH MIGHT BE DOING SOME GOOD WORKS BUT THERE ARE ALSO ALOT OF SHORT COMINGS TO IT. FIRSTLY I ASK HOW DID THIS WHOLE TABLIQ THING START .......IT WAS A GUY IN INDIA WHO SAW IN HIS DREAM AND STARTED IT ....THIS VERY MUCH NEGATES BECAUSE THE HOLY QURAN SAYS This day have "I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Isl�m as your religion"(5:3). THERE FORE WE CAN SEE THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ANY ONE TO INNOVATE ANYTHING ELSE INTO THE DEEN . BESIDES WE ALSO SEE THE PROPHET(SAW) SAYING IN HIS LAST SERMON SPEECH THAT HE HAS COMPLETED HIS PROPHECY AND REVEALED US ALL THE MSG OF ALLAH(SWT)... MORE IMPORTANTLY SAYING THINGS LIKE ITS A PART OF ISLAM IS A BIG SIN.... BECAUSE NO ONE CAN BACK THEIR SOURCE OF TABLIGH FROM THE QURAN AND SUNNAH.........IT IS BIDAH AND ALL BIDAH'S ARE TO THE WAY TO HELL FIRE AS MENTIONED IN HADITH.... ANOTHER NOTABLE POINT SAYING MAKING RULES SUCH AS 3 NIGHTS/40 DAYS/4 MONTHS IS SOMETHING THAT WERE NEVER PUT AS A RULE BY THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH, NEITHER BY THE SAHABAS NOR THE RIGHLY GUIDED SALAFS..... THEREFORE BROTHERS/SISTERS BEFORE SAYING THINGS LIKE ITS FARD AND ITS PART OF ISLAM PLZ THINK CAREFULLY TABLIQI JAMMAT IS NOT A PART OF THE DEEN. AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST

No. 'Tablig-e-Deen' to spread Islam to non-Muslims is sunnah. Tablig Jamat is inviting Muslims to Tablig Jamat and never invited any non-Muslims to Islam. Tablig Jamat not constituted according to Shari'ah If you are to be a member to Tablig Jamat, you have to follow its rule, which is to observe 3 (three) 'Chilla'(i.e., spend these periods staying away from your home and family even without contacting them during these 40 days whatever their circumstnces are) is just a new and any new invention in 'Islam' is "Bidah". So, an organization which is practising "Bidah" even though poised to be spreading Islam is in fact destroying themselves. Allah SWT Will save Islam.

Tabligh in Arabic means "to deliver (the message)" and Tablighi Jamaat strive to revive this duty which they consider as one of the primary duties of a Muslims. They encourage people to follow Islamic principles and the life of Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W). The movement asks the Muslims at-large to spend their time and money in spiritual journeys (called "gasht" or in Arabic "khurooj") to seek religious knowledge ("Taleem") and promote the faith. During these scheduled journeys (usually for a specified period of 4 months, 40 days, 10 days, or 3 days), members of each travelling group (called jama'ats) learn the basic tenets of Islam from each other. Apart from these, a list of desired qualities of the sahaba are studied and practiced. These are: Conviction of faith - Belief in the oneness of God. This is expanded to mean that the creation cannot do anything without the will of God, but God can do everything without the creation. It also has the adjunct of belief that complete success in this world and the hereafter is only achieved in following the way of life shown by Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W) and every other way leads to failure in this world and the hereafter. Humility & Devotion in Salah - Perfection in observance of prayers. Acquiring knowledge and remembrance of God. Good behaviour towards Muslims, and others. Sacrificing ones own needs in order to fulfil another's needs. Includes respecting ones elders and showing kindness to somebody younger. Purity of intention. Meaning that all good actions should be solely for the pleasure of God and not for fame or materialistic gain. Inviting to God - Spending ones time and money in the "Path of God" (Invite towards good action e.g. charity, prayer and calling people towards God), as Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W) . was the last messenger of God. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablighi_Jamaat NOTE: Its a misconception that Tablighi Jamaat is associated with grave worshipping and shirk, etc. I have just returned from my 3-day jamaat, alhumdulillah! Beleive me, i found nothing of what they do to be against the Prophet (pbuh). Prophet pbuh didnt wait for people to come to him, He Himself went to people to teach Islam. And the tabligh people do the same WOuld you then say Tablighi is bida'a? The above mentioned 6 qualities - Kalimah, Salaah, Ilm and Zikr, Ikraam-e-Muslimeen, Ikhlas, and Dawat and Tabligh - these are the qualities of the SAHABA. The Tablighi people learn and teach these and try to implement these into their lives. WOuld you then say Tablighi is bida'a? People object to Jamaat Tablighi opposing their leaving homes/families for long periods. Well, dont you remember Prophet Ibrahim as left his wife and baby alone in the deserted desert?? Dont you remember how many Sahaba's left their families behind so as to carry the message of Islam forward/ The Tablighi people do not leave their families to die! The take care before leaving that their families have everything that they need and ask the relATIVES TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES until they return! Imagine, you go out to give dars on quran. for 3 hours, say. Now, if someone says, YOU SHOULDNT LEAVE UR FAMILY FOR 3 HOURS, ITS BIDAAH, would u listen to him and leave the dars? You will sit on your chair at home and giv dars through mobile phone? No, never! We have to go out in the path of Allah leaving our worldy attachements behind! WOuld you then say Tablighi is bida'a? The best way to analyse a people is to be with them, spnd thime with them! Alhumdulillah i have done so, nd alhumdulillah i have found what Tablighi jamaat is really doing. Beleive me, they'r not wrong!

See the tafseer for more details) and as long as Tablighi jammat concerned that some salafi says that ohh In the time of Mohammed (may allah bleesing and peace be upon him him) there was not such a time was fixed e.g 3, 10 days a monthe 3 or the 6 month and etc. First of all this is not compulsory and also it just to let ones know that for how long he will be away from his home and also for how long he can go to learnthe basic of islam and more, But salafi believe that it is bida if it is bida then in the time of Mohammed (may allah blessing and peace be upon him ) there were not such are 4 years or 5 years to be come shykh as they do it in Madina or some other university i am not saying that they doing bida. What i am saying is that it is just a time allow u that for how long u will study to become shykh and for how long to go for Tabligh to corect oneself and to motivate others and then this motivatioon can lead people to become big shykhs. Because first he has to learn how to pray and how to achieve constancy in oreder to stick to mosque and pray. Plzz brother do not get emotional u do not have to go to for 3 days, go to madina for 4 years to become shykh and then these tablighi people and salafi need u to delivre a big speech cuz u will have more knowledge. jazakalah khair Asalam u Alykum

I think tableeq is a great way of reminding our brothers and sisters of the importance on working on our iman.we are all weak in taqwaa beacuse we all are living in time of fitna.with so many groups makinng sincere efforts of spreading Islam the tableeq jamaat really is one the more best ways of increasing our iman but i donot believe it to be the only way.i go regulaarly for 3 days every month and ever since then My life has changed for the better.But still like anything else in the world their is room for improvement and prsonlly i think the tableeq jamat has deviated from the orginal intention on molna ilyas.his intention was to bring the muslims back to islam but the current generation are more interested in bring peolpe towards hanfisim.I my self am not particular in foloowiny any madhab and I AM NOT SALAFI.im a muslim and respect all teching of the four imamas and even the salfi. I thinks its disgustiong how both tableeqi and non tableeqi brothers enforce there on madhab on others or else think the other tesaching is out right wrong.For ezample I think its perfectly allright to combine prayers during travell or wipe over my sock durin ablution.then y do my brotheres critizie me for yhis when the whole point of tableeq isnt talking abot masil but rather fazilat.Allah swt has truly blessed me with this wrk wich i belive in but i have do beleive evry thing the fazail ammal says (storys of sufis) or other things like prayers in tableeq has 4.99999 rewards.Saying I ve to confess to my sins that i do out of lazyness show disrespect like not putting up my trousers which is fard.I my self do make many mistakes but cretains things i do is offensive to the jammat brothers but why should listen to them and not my own heart.Not to say have any ill feelings God forbid but i think we need to stick to purpose tablleq which callin muslims back to deen rather then propergating a particulkar madhab.Besides that alot of arrogant jammati go there just to be a heros or because their un succesful in their personal life they wanna be somebody in this jammat where ost brother out respect and hummility va to put up with these assholes.any waytablleq is an awsome way to get closes to Allha swt and crat love and compasion for the holy prophet (pbuh)and his companians and our fellow muslim bretheren.the physical aspect of theis work makes u humble ..i live in delaware and my email is kamranitaly@hotmail

Its highly unfortunate that those self- acclaimed scholars who can not spend their time for Allah alone without praise or reward expectation from people continue to attack the noble job embarked upon by people who have trained many to be subservient to Allah (SWT) alone.In their effort to spread mischievous message about the the reviver (Muhammad Ilyas) of this great effort they were given unconfirmed evidence (IF), one of the antagonists Abu Juwairiyah Sabr Rafiq writes ''The Jashtiyyah watch-person is someone who sits at a grave for half an hour every week with his head covered, making Dhikr with the phrase "Oh Allah Who is present with me, Oh Allah my guardian watcher." This phrase, or this action, if it were done for the sake of Allah then it is a bid'ah If it were done out of humbleness to the occupant of the grave, then it is committing Shirk with Allah, and it is apparent that the second one is more likely'' Just look at the whole statements MORE LIKELY can these be facts to follow?. However as Muslims I seek Allah's forgiveness if anybody is hurt by my this write-up. Tabligh Jamah with their efforts needs to be embraced by all Muslims whose thinking is in line with that of our great Prophet (SAW). Consider this, the writer is an African (West)whose family follow to their best of abilities the Quran and sunah of the prophet with focus to to do more due to the benefits they are enjoying. My wife is in purdah likewise many other families,we now have yearning for memorising the qur'anunderstand and work with it's teachings. Now there are many Ufaas among us many now studying different Islamic courses in many arab country Universities. But before the coming of the Tabligh Jamah western (America and British) culture was the order of the day, men in the club women nakedly mingle with men even in the mosques, the only education given seriousness was the western idea which not only teaching arrogance to fellow beings but to Allah The Graet. Alhamdulillah today we are Muslims who is not only conscious of his or her environment islamically but thinking how correct islamic aqeedah will enter into the room of every inhabitant of this universe. Just ask them,the self appraised learned that what effort have they made to spread the message of Islam to the less privileged.I want to deduce that this people are western instrument to discourage Muslims from getting out of their psychological slavery. But if not and it is their quest for genue aqeedah that pushes them to do that, they need to do it with ikmah not by attacking this effort. I want to ascertain one fact that since the people doing this effort are Ambiya (AS)or even the Sahabah there bounds to be human mistakes which the Scholars can find solution to and we proceed. I pray to Allah the Robbu of everything to continue guiding us aright.Also I want to advice supper antagonists to always reflect on the Qur'anand the hadith which they claim to follow before condemning Muslims for Allah alone is perfect.All said about the tabligh jamah good or bad shall be reviewed by the Master of all, Allah on the day of judgment, therefore remember Allah.

Jamaat-e-Tabligh is a deviated group and it is a branch of Deoband, this is the reality as they are quoting fabricated ahadeeth and coining another type of tauheed which is self made tauheed not proven from Quran and Sunnah. The scholars of Deoband have placed great significance on Tawheed al-Matlab in their writings to the extent that it has been declared compulsory to have a Pir (spiritual guide) and the going astray of Mirza Gulaam Ahmad, the Dajjal of our times, has been blamed upon the fact that he had no Pir. Tawheed al-Matlab as explained by Ashraf Ali Thanvi, in his Tafseer while explaining the verse, �And who believe in which has been sent down to you (O Muhammad) and that which was sent down before you�, �...from this verse it will be inferred by Qiyas that one should have faith in all the Shaikhs, as one would have belief in one�s own Shaikh. However, the following (Ittiba) is for one�s own Shaikh, and this is similar to the case of the Messengers (i.e. we believe in all the Messengers and consider their followers as Ahl al-Kitab, but are to follow our own Messenger).�(Ashraf Ali Thanvi mentions this under the heading, �Masaail as- Salook� - The Rulings regarding the Path (of Soofism)], the Tafseer of Soorah al-Baqarah (2), verse 4, p.3, Tafseer Bayaan al-Qur�aan.) The Concept of Tawheed al-Matlab amongst the Deobandis seems to be the basis of their staunch and fanatic blind following (Taqleed)of Madhhabs. Because the Imams whom the Deobandis blindlyimitate never founded any Madhhabs, nor did they call the people to become their blind followers. They were pious scholars, like many others like them, who did a great service to the Muslim Ummah and left behind knowledge in the form of students and books. to know the reality of Jamaat-e-Tableegh and Deobandis please check book on www.ahya.org please read the truth it is not to criticise but for islah. May Allah show us haq as haq and will to accept it and May Allah show us batil as batil to refrain from it. Ameen

I am not 100% sure that tabligh jamaat is doing work according to RASOOL ALLAH(saw) but if they are wrong than no other in this whole word is right.I am impressed of them because of two reason,(1) Despite of having a lot of support they do not criticizes anyone (e.g,other sects etc).(2)They keep on telling you that don`t watch us just watch the way of RASOOL ALLAH (saw)because they believe that we can make mistakes but our Prophet(saw) was the best of all the creations of ALLAH(almighty) and these are the thing which makes them best of all.So i make request to all of you don`t break your selves in different sects as Prophet(saw)has prohibited this and come together to serve your religion and protect your selves from fire and pain and the best way to do so is spending time regularly in path of ALLAH and don`t just listen what they say but also think about that than you will INSHALLAH find the right path.May ALLAH guide us all to the right path.Ame-en.

assalamualaikum brothers,Today, globally Muslims have the lowest literacy rate. Hence it is no surprise that the literacy rate among the Muslims who are incarcerated is very low. Tabligh ist the right work for muslim to do .May Allah give hidayat to all those who openly with no references or evidence call this work bidaa', and even shirk and kufr.Tableegh is the only work which this ummat should do.tabligh jamaat are devoted to spend more time related to Din (religion) comparing Other Islamic groups.let me tell u what tabligh is.Tableegh dawah is summarised in six simple points.1. The Realization of the Shahaadah: "Laa ilaaha illallaah." 2. Praying with submissiveness and humbleness. 3. Knowledge(ilm) of the virtues, not issues, along with zikr. 4. Honoring the Muslim(ikraam). 5. Correction of one's intention(ikhlaas). 6. Calling to Allaah and making Khurooj in the path of Allaah. Tableegh is the fore most responsibility of every muslim.allal subhana ta'ala has send every muslim to learn&preach islam.tabligh preaches brotherhood, goodness, values, teachings, everything that comes along with it is for Islam and nothing else.It is the time for every muslims (not only Tableeghi Jamat) to call others towards islam.all islamic activity is right .tabligh is something that is pure and was the effort of our beloved prophet mhammed(s a s)its efficient and spiritual&takes you towards living your 24 hour life.Tabligh is not any seperate Jamaat,or seperate firqa & Tableegh is Farz on all of us. Inviting others toward islam is our duty so many muslims have been motivated to get back onto islam through this method. From the above discussions I found thatTableegh is absolutely the right path. It is the path of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.) and Sahabah Ikram (R.A.). It sounds difficult, but to learn the real essence one will have to atleast try it. If you really want to practice Islam and become a good muslim, but seems to be hard as our environment doesn't support us, you should consider going in path of Allah for Tableegh at least once. You will feel the difference. No doubt that hadayat, and taufiq is from Allah. May Allah give taufiq to all of us. Amin. Moreover, point should be noted that . It is just a collective effort of responsible, and Ummah-Conscious people to follow the right path.

THE AQEEDA OF THE TABLEEGHI JAMAAT To have good and strong Imaan, one must have the proper Aqeeda. It is for this reason that we quote a few un-Islamic beliefs of the leaders of the Tableeghi Jamaat together with the proper Islamic answers. The present Molvis and devotees of the T. Jamaat refuse to condemn the persons who wrote such bad beliefs and to even disassociate themesleves from such false beliefs. The un-Islamic beliefs which we have quoted below are quotations from those individuals who possess such beliefs and by writing them in this handbill, we have no intention of Kufr. FALSE BELIEF 1: "Allah can speak lies". ("Barahine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambetwi; "Yakrozi" by Ismaeel Dehlwi; "Fatawa Rasheedia" by Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi). ANSWER: Lies is a defect which is not worthy of the Zaat of Almighty Allah and is totally Muhaal (Impossible) for Almighty Allah. Allah is free from all shortages and defects thus making lies Muhaal for Almighty Allah. FALSE BELIEF 2: "The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had died and is mixed in the sand." ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: It has been stated in the Hadith: "Verily, Almighty Allah has made it Haraam upon the earth to eat the bodies of the Ambiya". It has also been stated that Ambiya are alive and are blessed with Sustenance from Almighty Allah. FALSE BELIEF 3: "Every creation, no matter how big or small, is equivalent to a cobbler before Allah." ("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the most beloved Nabi of Almighty Allah. Almighty Allah took Qasm (Oath) even on the city of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He is the greatest of the creations of Almighty Allah. His every word is accepted in the Court of Allah. He is a perfection in the Attributes of Almighty Allah and Allah has not created any unique being besides Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). FALSE BELIEF 4: "To think of an ox and donkey in Salaah is permissible, but to think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Salaah is Shirk (Polytheism)." ("Seerate Mustaqeem" by Ismaeel Dehlwi). ANSWER: For a Muslim to perform any Ibaadat accepting that it is a noble action of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the true sense of Ibaadat. If one reads Namaaz thinking of it as the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), then, without doubt, one will think of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This belief creates in the mind of the performer the thought of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Not only is the thought of the Prophet in Namaaz permissible, it is also the demand of Shari'ahthat one must remember the Holy Prophet (salall laahu alaihi wasallam) at the time of Tasha'hud According to the Fuqaha (Jurists) it is Waajib to believe that the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is observing you and that he is aware of your actions. FALSE BELIEF 5: Any person who says the Nabi to be Haazir and Naazir is a Kaafir. ("Jawaahirul Quraan" by Ghulaamullah Khan). ANSWER: Until and unless we do not accept Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as being Haazir and Naazir, the concept of Risaalat will be incomplete. Our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is Shaahid, Mubashir and Nazeer. FALSE BELIEF 6: To commemorate the Meelad is like commemorating the function of the Hindu deity. ("Baharine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambethwi). ANSWER: Meelad is a means of gaining blessings and closeness to Almighty Allah. It is the practice of all the great predecessors. Many sources of Shari'ahare available to prove it's authencity. In fact, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) observed fast on Monday as he was born on a Monday. FALSE BELIEF 7: If Allah wills, then he may create a million Muhammads. ("Taqweeyatul Imaan") A Prophet can even come after Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). ("Tahzeerun Naas") ANSWER: The doors of Prophethood have been sealed. Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the Seal of Prophethood. The Prophet also said that no Prophet shall come after him. Any person who claims Nabuwat after the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is a Liar, Dajjal Kazaab and a Shaitaan. FALSE BELIEF 8: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" (Mercy unto the Worlds) is not a special title of the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), but the Ummati are also "Rahmatul Lil Alameen". ("Fatawa Rasheedia") ANSWER: "Rahmatul Lil Alameen" is the unique quality of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as stated in the Holy Quran. Note: To believe all these above mentioned false "Islamic" beliefs makes one a hypocrite, and one is included in the ranks of the Shia, Rafazi, Khaarijite, Qadiani, Ghair-Muqallid (Ahle Hadith), Tabligi, Deobandi, Maudoodi, Ahle Quran (People of Quran), etc. which are totally out of Islam. Any person who falsely claims to be the true Mahdi is misguided and a Faasiq. Any person who says that Allah can lie, that the Prophet's (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knowledge are like those of animals, that the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is not the Final Messenger, that the swearing of the Sahaba does not make one a criminal, that the Prophet's knowledge is less than Shaitaan, etc. IS A KAAFIR (totally out of the folds of Islam). We should not perform Salaah or associate with such persons as their companionship is detrimental to our Imaan.

salamualikum Wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, Firstly may allah gide us all to the straight path, the path of his beloved messenger Mohammed (saw) I would like to mention a few points to mymisguided brothers who talk so much about knowledge and are quick to label people graveworships and bidat'ees and cant grasp this simple effort of Tabligh yet are so boostful of there parrot fashion knowledge that they claim to have. I read through allot of statements made on this forum and theres brothers talking about tawheed that we need to unite on tawheed - my question to those brothers is what the hell do you think the first Quality these tabligis as they put it talk about? Il answer that for the benefit of this forum they talk about La ilaha il lalha Muhammadur Rasullah - to bring in the the firm belief and yakeen that Allah is one and only, he is the doer of each and every thing, there is nothing that happens without his command, Allah s not in need of the creation but the creation is in need of him, Allah is independent, everything that exists is the creation of Allah and Allah alone is the creator, He is the first with out a beginning and the last without an ending and so forth. The second part of it is Muhammadur rasulullah that to get to Allah there is no other way but to follow in the footsteps of the messenger (saw) any other way will lead to complete failure in this world and eternal doom in the hereafter. That is just a summary of the first quality which is to bring that firm belief and conviction in the depths of our hearts upon this kalima. In essence isnt this tawheed?????? Im not going to go through each point by point.But by bringing the six qualities itto our lives it becomes easy for us as weak muslim to come on to complete deen where upon Allah promises success of this world and eternal success in the hereafter. The 6 qualities were present amongst the lives of all the sahabah....and if we bring these into our lives then it becomes easier for us to practice the whole of deen. Now my so called knowledgable brothers I'd ask to stop reading your books at face value and start bringing some qualities in your life that will enable that knowledge of yours to penetrate the herat and be benficial rather than taking everything at face value and just keeping your knowledge on the tongue which will be eveidence against you by Allah on the day of judgement. This is calkled parrot style knowledge. Look at the real salafs and see what qualities they had and what type of knowledge Allah bestowed upon them....then see wher you stand. I pary Allah accepts my efforts Ameen.

Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullah, I read most of the above mentioned comments. I was with Jamaat at Tableegh for 7 years (Allah swt knows I'm typing truth) I though that they are the best one. As it is mentioned in Quran 'kuntum qhaira ummatin uqhrijat linnas ta muroona bil ma'aroofwa tan hauna anil munkar'. It is correct that what they are doing is correct. I don't want to taunt or pull some1's leg. However as per above ayah I need to call you to correct way AND to stop you from Munkar. http://www.ahya.org/amm/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=192 You can check why the publisher of Fadhail e Amaal did Taubah. http://www.ahya.org/amm/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=105 Some baseless stories in Fadhail e Amaal. http://www.ahya.org/amm/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=193 For Brother and Sisters in Islaam who knows Urdu. May the Almighty Allah swt bless us by guiding us to the way of Jannah. Remember above links will not change your thoughts on Jamaat at Tableegh, however you need to offer salah and ask help from Almighty Allah swt. Rehan Syed.

Bismillahir Rohmanir Roheem Alhamdu Lilla was Solat wa Salam ala RasoolilLah A lot has been said in this forum about jamaat tableeg. I think this debate will never end. I read some good arguments against tableeg but nothing sufficient in its support with Qur'an and Sunnah. Why do you keep labeling everyone opposing tableeg as salafi or wahabi? Do you know the meaning? The truth is very clear, Qur'an and Sunnah. I judge everything based on these two sources. I may follow one mathhab until I see a better evidence from Qur'an and Sunnah. Then I will not persist on this mathhab regarding this issue. Because the idea is to follow Rasoolallah and not any imam. As for tableegi jammat, I am not convinced you are on the right path although the intentions of its members are good. I respect all these brothers and ask Allah to give them better knowledge of Islam. You should set example of a muslim in your work, home, wherever you go and not only in the mosque. I also enjoy the company of muslim brothers but if I have weaker imaan I go read the Qur'an and join the congregation in mosque. No need to go elsewhere for certain period of time. That's very strange and against sunnah. I have witnessed the TJ one time when I was in Nashville TN. We were eating food with TJ brothers when all of a sudden one of them said that Adam made hajj 70 times. I asked him if it was a hadeeth to which he couldn't affirmatively reply. Indeed most people on TJ has no basic ilamic knowledge. They love Islam very much. But truth is gained with proper knowledge. Mere loving solves nothing. They should educate themselves. Making salat istikharat is not sufficient to be guided. You should do your homework. Do your best. Research like you would if you wanted to buy a house or a car. Then bizniLLah you will be guided. Guidance doesn't come cheap. It's like asking Allah for food and do nothing. The results are from Allah but you should do your best to learn more until you are on baseera. You will know when you reach this point. I thank Allah for guiding me and other muslim brothers. The right path is so evident. The real danger is within muslims themselves and not from outside. Imagine if your enemy gives you a cup full of poison would you drink? Now what if he puts a drop of poison in the milk? You would drink. Satan knows he can't misguide muslims calling them against Islam. He will do so with islmaic logos inviting them in mutashabihat. Stay away if something is not 100% clear. Emigrate with your deen. Joining jammaats is not obligatory. Being on the right path is critical.

assalamualaikum. dear brothers in Islam, first of all, i feel sad reading the ill remarks made by some of our brothers to the fellow Muslim brothers(tableeghi are indeed Muslims), our Prophet MUHAMMAD SAW forgave the worst of enemies of Islam and did Ihsan and called them to the fold of Islam.eg, Vahshi,Hind,AbuSufiyaan,Adi ibn Hatim radiallahu anhum,etc. Anyway if some brother find this jammat a lot of deviated mushriqs, he should do what Prophet did. as of me i agree to this jamaat in the sense that they confine themselves to the Sunnah of the Prophet without retaliating to any opposition from the community. and the best judge is the Aamaal of the individual, and iam the firm believer of the fact that actions speak better than words. i have seen so much of everything that i dont find better practising Muslim than these. And i request my fellow bretheren to reply like a true muslim will. JAZAKUMULLAHU FID DAARAIN. WASSALAAM.

Alham-do-lillah dear brothers and sisters, There are lot of confusions with the world TABLIGHI JAMMAT 1)The jammat which is called tableegi jamaat is neither a jammat nor a separate sect. 2)It is neither a movement nor a politics. 3)It is neither a group meant for its own interests nor a group among the muslims to increase the number of the organization. 4)It is neither an organization nor a charity. surprisingly it is the way on which the blessings of Allah in this world and the life after death can be achieved. This is the only solution of all the problems of the world arosen today, economic, political, social, domestic , international brotherhood and those which we know and those which we dont know.( just come and see, a miracle on the earth) May Allah keep us on right path with his blessings.

A lot of comments gave 'good', 'great' as basis of their preference, rather than quotations from the Qur'anand the Sunnah. In our society now, what is critical is our individual seeking true authentic knowledge, our family, those around us and the society. Only then we can work towards the global actions. It is no point going global when locally is not settled. Rasulullah do not go out unsettling the local issues.

BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE ! The Jammaa'at Tableegh is a DEVIANT GROUP that is steeped in Bid'ah (innovated methods) and it is one of the 72 astray groups that the Prophet (sallallahu alahi wa salam) said would be in the Hellfire. All of the major Scholars of Islam are agreed on this. These people love to use weak and fabricated ahadeeth which lie on the Prophet and his Companions. Also, they call to Sufism, grave worship and many other evil things. The founder himself was a Sufi and grave worshipper. May Allah protect us all from the Deviant Group. Ameen

Assalamu Alaikum, I am a salafi but that doesn't make me not take part in Tabligh. It was through tabligh that I understood what was Islam and who was my Creator. I have spent years with the people of this jamah and have discovered that the effort is totally according to the ways of the Prophet and the Quran. Many great personalities of this era was the result of this effort. It is better for us to go out and invite others to obey Allah rather than sit here and talk against all the groups. It's time that the Ummah get up from their soft beds and make some sacrifice like the sahabah.

There are people doing tabligh incorrectly as there are salafeen who are saying they are correct and bidah is rampant in tablighi ways.WHO ARE JUST AS FAR AWAY FROM HAQ!We who do tabligh are obligated to correct the mistakes individuals make but my salafeen brothers you must take care of the hearts of the all the people who say they beleive(especially those who make effort).Our prophet showed respect to,jew,christian and pagan alike (S.A.W.).Show love not hostility towards the muslims-give up these haraam arogant ways-teach by example not by some bookletDO SUNNAH DO'NTSAY SUNNAH!!!!!!Tabligh is the most correct work with guidance from 'ulamah of the highest calibre.
