Naming of Tablighi Jamaat* 

(Tehreeke I ma an* (Imaan Movement) 



*M aulana llyas did not assign any name to this movement 
because his point of view was that, it is the duty of each and every 
member of M uslim Ummah to do effort of dawah o Tableegh . 



M aulana M uhammad llyas has been quoted saving 

"I have not put any name for the M ovement Rather never it came 
to my mind about keeping any name. If I would have been put 
any, it would have been Tehreek e Imaan (Imaan movement)" 



M aulana M uhammad llyas has been quoted saving 

"But people started calling it Tablighi Jamaat and this name 
became so popular that sometimes even I take this name"

Translator's Note 

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praises to Allah the Sustainer of the worlds, and grace, honour and salutations on the Chief 
of Apostles and Seal of Prophets, Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, his family, 
companions and those who followed him in an excellent fashion and invited mankind towards 
Allah, till the Day of Resurrection. 

It is a fact that 95% of Great Ulema e Haqq (True Scholars) all over the world are 
supporting Dawah effort being done by Tabligh Jamaat. Although Many of the Ulma e 
Haqq are working in service of Islam in different fields e.g Madarsa, Fatawa, Dars O Tadrees 
and Tasnnef o Taleef, Tazkiya etc so they may not always have active Participation in Tablighi 
Jamaat. 

Some Ulema Scholars may have some misunderstanding. The work and character of the 
effort will convince them. This method of convincing was successfully used by Maulana Ilyas 
Rahimullah. He not only convinced Rather He even took active work from those who were 
initially even against the effort. 

Some Scholars may be pointing the mistakes of workers or on some Scholarly issues. Don't 
take it as opposition. Rather it should be listened carefully and should be looked into for 
correction. This is the approach of our Elders. 

If anyone is criticizing unjustly still one should not make it an issue against that person. 
Sabr (Patience) and Hikmat is the tool to deal this situation. We should not make Badgumani 
about any brother rather should give him benefit of doubt. 

Deficiency is in itself part of human nature The work of Tableegh, its methodology and its 
workers (laymen, Scholars and students (of knowledge) alike are neither perfect nor free from 
error and they are not claiming so. Markaz Nizamuudin always remain receptive to suggestions 
Advices for improvement. The translator has personal experience in this regard. 

But there are Baseless allegations, false exaggeration and clear errors in many 
articles/Talk on internet against Tablighi Jamaat. Those who are making and spreading it 

don't follow a basic principle of Shariah that is to investigate and research news before 
accepting and passing to others. 

6 :cAj^l\) 
[49:6] 0 you who believe, if a sinful person brings you a report, verify its 



correctness, lest you should harm a people out of ignorance, and then become 
remorseful on what you did. 

Many a times those doing criticism base their talk/ article on some other 
Talks/ article and don't check it's correctness by doing countercheck from original 
source and by this way the wrong information once start enters into a vicious cycle. They 
violate this Hadith of Prophet in Sahih Muslim. 

Sayyidina Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe 
Wassallam) said, "It is enough falsehood for a person to transmit everything he 
hears." [Muslim] 

Another dangerous trend is of suspicion about fellow muslims/ M uslim. 
Allah (SWT) emphatically prohibit suspicion 

12 j^Ji) m'jh b\ 1 j^j » ^ ^ 
[49:12] 

Oyou who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do 
not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of 
you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. 
Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful. 

36 :o*<«)  fill). 

[3:159] So, (O Prophet) it is through mercy from Allah that you are gentle to them. Had 
you been rough and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you... 
Maulana Umar Palanpuri Rahimullah of Markaz Nizamuddin while replying the 
same question in the gathering of the shuyukhs and scholars of Madenah Munawwara at 
the house of sheikh Hammad ibne Muhammad Al Ansari (As told by Sheikh Khalilur 
Rahman in his recorded urdu speech personally given by the son of sheikh umar 
Palanpuri to the translator) said that we are not claiming this to be only method 



neither we object to those who are adopting harsh Methodology against Bidat o 
Shirk. We simply say it is our Methodology against Bidat and Shirk. Translator) 



The Tablighi Jamaat approach has been explained 
and it does not include open criticism and direct 
condemnation on evil as its basic principles. 
This is for two reasons. 

I: In our society carelessness and unawareness has 
override sins and immorality. Sins and evils are so 
rampant that people are not considering sins as sins. 
In this condition mere condemnation and 
denunciation is not likely to work and this is a reality 
and any insightful person will not deny it. 
And second: 

Tablighi Jamaat has a programme of taking 
people involved in sins in Khurooj. By this way the 
person will leave the evil environment, evil 
company and society. And in khurooj he will 
remain in good environment in the mosques in the 
company of good people. This good environment 
actually cures the person and it is a well proved 
Result that in this environment within a short period 
of time he leaves sins. In many cases he starts strong 
disliking and has an aversion to sins. 
This approach is more effective than lecturing for 
good or condemning bad for a person or society that 
is by and large heedless. 
Another thing is: 



Do criticizers of Tablighi Jamaat has done any 
organized effort to stop evil. And the answer and 
the prevailing condition is well known. Those who 
are criticizing Tablighi Jamaat they are also not doing 
any harsh concrete step to stop evil. May Alllah 
Pardon me and all Muslims for neglecting Nahi Anil 
Munkar (Forbade evils). 

Point No 8 

That Tablighi Jamaat are bigoted prejudiced 
Hanafi. 

We say: 

(Even if we consider the claim true) Is this a 
Character of Tablighi Jamaat or Is it special about 
Tablighi Jamaat? Oh no! 

Any observer of affairs of Muslim Ummah cannot 
deny the fact that the Muslims associated with 
different school of jurisprudence like Shafi'i Maliki 
Hanbali and other School of jurisprudence are 
Partisan for their respective Fiqh and not spared from 
this intolerance, only those who have recognized the 
true character of right path (Islam) and has 
abandoned sectarianism and ideological intolerance. 
And these good people have adopted the Islamic path 
after finding it. But the proportion of people (free 
from groupism) among Muslim ummah and the 
Islamic nation is one to a thousand or even less. 



So cursing Tablighi Jamaat people alone for Hanafi 
intolerance when all jurisprudence people are 
involved in this partisan. 

In Tablighi Jamaat there are Hanafi, Maliki, 
Shafi'i, Hanbali, so this criticism cannot be tagged 
with tablighi jamaat. What has happened to these 
criticizers who do not understand this so clear 
matter? The activities and areas of work of tablighi 
jamaat is spread from North Africa to West Africa in 
Europe, America, in the Middle East. There is a not 
a single evidence from anywhere to prove that 
they called a particular Maslak, Jurisprudence 
school or sub ideology doctrine. There Dawah is 
limited to strengthening faith (Emaan/Aqeedah) and 
the manifestation of strength of Emaan should be 
exemplified by actions that please Allah. They should 
obey the command of Allah and should leave the 

Sins. It is there that in Salat they (Tabligh brothers from Indian 
subcontinent) follow them (Hanafi school of jurisprudence). But they 
never call anyone towards it (Hanafi School of jurisprudence). 

And it is known to all that Muslims associated with 
Tablighi Jamaat are receptive to the truth faster and 
they follow the Kitab o sunnat very eagerly. 

Point 9 

It is said "That Tablighi Jamaat deny Tawheed in 
the worship " 



(Translator: Nauzubillah How false an allegation is? May Allah pardon all of us.) 



We say: 

It is Right that some of them do not separately 
classify the Tawheed al Ibadah (One of the three 
types of Tawheed classified by scholars), but they do 
not do anything contrary to it. They never call 
towards any sort of worship for anyone other than 
Allah, in Dua, Sacrificial slaughtering, In Nazr o 
Neyaz (vow) or in hope and fear as the condition 
of misguided people. (They call only towards 
Allah). 

As far as the correct understanding of Tawheed al 
Ibadah is concerned, the deficiency among the 
muslim ummah is very rampant. If they would have 
been having correct understanding of it they would 
not have worshiped the people in grave, no vow and 
swear on their name, no animal sacrifice on their 
name. 

So it is our duty to educate the Muslim ummah and 
general muslim mass instead of playing the blame 
game. 

Point : 10 

It is said "The impact of Tablighi Jamaat is not 
limited to disobedient and sinful people," but even 
those who are already religious and pious people 
also get impressed and take counsel and effect 



from their effort. And Tablighi people divert 
people with Salafi orientation towards the dry 
methodology of Tabligh that is based on 
innovation and heresy. 

We say: 

In this criticism, there is a recognition and acceptance 
that Tablighi jamaat has an impact on sinful people 
and they start obeying the commands of Allah and 
path of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is a 
good gesture and sign and this is a reflection of facts 
and ground realities. Blessing and greetings should 
be on the person who effort is made means of 
guidance by Allah for any disobedient and sinful 
slave. 

As far as the second recognition about its 
influence on religious and pious people. Their 
acceptance to the call of Tablighi jamaat is very 
significant. That means that by the effect of 
Tablighi Jamaat pious people not remain confined 
or satisfied with their self reformation/guidance 
Rather they become keen for hidayat/bringing 
good for fellow muslim brothers. So it is also a 
good Result. 

Sacrifice of time, life and wealth is needed for 
reformation and nurturing of general Muslims 
mass which are in large number. And sacrifice is 
not always easy thing. The Proportion of seekers 



(Taalib) compared to Scholars (well learned) is much 
greater in Tablighi jamaat. 

In this context I will tell a fact with sorrow and 
grief that many people who are actually not ready 
for sacrifice of their life and wealth for the 
correction and nurturing of fellow humanity, they 
start doing opposition to Tablighi Jamaat. 



Point : 11 

It is alleged "Tablighi Jamaat people do 
Innovations as they go out in khurooj in groups, 
and they go for 3 day 40 days and 4 month for 
Dawah" 

We say: 

There is no doubt that to go out for effort of Dawah 
in the path of Allah for reformation and correction is 
akin to going out to seek knowledge and guidance. 
Going out and inviting people to Allah and to teach 
them what will benefit them in this world and life 
Hereafter (Akhirah). 

These all will come under the ambit of Khurooj fi 
sabilillah if 

• These are done with Ikhlas (Sincerity of 
intention), to please Almighty Allah. 



• There should be no intention of gaining 
wealth, Fame, position, job or status. 

• There should also be no involvement in Fun, 
amusement or unlawful activities. 

Those who are denying the khurooj of Tablighi 
Jamaat for Dawah, Reformation of self and 
Tazkiya are either ignorant to Islamic Knowledge 
or trying to posing as cleverly/smartly unknown 
(Tajahil e Arifna) after knowing all truth. 
The Prophet, peace be upon him says: 
"To be in path of Allah for one morning or one 
evening is better than whole world and whatever in 
it. 

Another report from prophet is 

"Whosoever comes to mosque with intention to either 
learn or to teach any good then he is Mujahid Fi 
sabilillah (Those who strive in the path of Allah). 
Similarly 

Many Sahih and Hasan Hadith has encouraged for 
the path of Allah, and the call has been given for Fi 
sabilillah . 

So, o People, After all these clarity should it be 
claimed that Khurooj of tablighi jamaat is Bidah or 
heresy? 

And more shocking is the case of those who claim to 
go in groups is an innovation and they give proof that 
Prophet sallallahu Alaihi wasallam has sent Hazrat 



Maadh Raziallahu Anhu to Yaman alone and it was 
not sent as group. 

These people either forget or don't have knowledge 
that Prophet has sent some 70 Sahaba or even more 
for education of Muslims. And they also forget that 
even Hazrat Maadh Raziallhu Anhu was not sent 
alone but Hazrat Abu Moosa Asharee Raziallahu 
Anhu accompanied him and said to both of them 
'"Make things easy and do not involve people in 
difficulties; give them happy news and do not inspire 
aversion in them. " 

Similarly he has sent Hazrat Ali Raziallahu Anhu and 
Hazrat Khalid bin Saeed al-Aas Raziallahu Anhu for 
teaching and guiding, and to do justice according to 
Quran and sunnah and a large group of sahaba 
accompanied them. 

The second claim of innovation is fixing days for 
Khurooj fi sabilillah. They do not know (simple 
facts) 

• That this is merely a system. 

• It is like any system of deen like Madaris 
(Islamic School) and Islamic 
universities.In universities the days of 
teaching and vacation are fixed so that 
people will be well aware about schedule 
and their engagements. 



• In this system of Dawah (of Tablighi 
jamaat) days are fixed so that people will 
make their arrangement for food and travel, 
to take leave for those days from their 
engagements (From offices or business etc). 

So after all these facts Is it Bidah to fix some days for 

Khurooj fi sabilillah? 

Subha Nallah For these Brothers ( The criticisers of 
Dawah work of Tablighi Jamaat) these couplets of 
Arabic Poet is suitable. 

With the eyes of friendship even the faults are not 
perceived as faults 

With the eyes of anger and hatred even small things 
are perceived as Major Faults. 

O my brother why are so bitter having hatred for 
Tablighi Jamaat? Are you becoming angry on such 
slaves of Allah who are calling people towards Allah. 
And by this action he wants to have the pleasure of 
Allah for himself and his fellow brothers. They are 
striving for their rectification, purification of heart 
and developing Islamic etiquettes. 

Point : 11 

People are also alleging other things.... this and 
this ....and this and that 

May Allah save us from those sentences, (Rumors 
and Allegations) against Dawat o Tabligh which may 



be regarded as obstruction in the Path of Allah and 
obstruction in Juhad fiddeen (Effort of Deen). Only 
those will be saved whom Allah want to save. 

For those readers who wants to know the truth, the 
guided path and are free from corrupted objectives, 
False assumptions, I want to clear That I myself is 
not associated with Tablighi Jamaat and I have not 
gone formally with them for even a single day 
following their schedule. 

But it is not because for errors in Tablighi Jamaat. 

• Rather the reason that is obstructing for my 
participation is my inability for that much 
sacrifice of Wealth and time and bearing the 
difficulties in the path of Allah that they 
bear. 

As the mistakes of tablighi jamaat are concerned 
they cannot be obstruction for me to participate in 
it and to give them good advice and counsel for 
matters they might not aware as . 

• Firstly these perceived errors are very less and 
there assumed wrong result is still lesser or 
negligible. 

• No one is free from errors? Is there anyone 
among human who is free from errors. Except 
the Prophet Alihissalam as they are Masoom 
(Always free from sins and errors) 



So I limit myself for 

• Intending good for them 

• If I see any error /mistake in them I do its 
correction Advice and counsel. 

• I save my tongue from exposing criticizing or 
alleging them. 

• So that I must not be counted among those who 
are obstructing the effort of Dawah and from 
Path of Allah. 

But some of my brothers May Allah guide them. 
When they are not able to do the level of sacrifices 
and bearing difficulties as Tablighi Jamaat people do 
then they 

• Start criticizing them 

• They make allegation on them 

• They spread rumors against them to defame 
them 

• They develop doubts and confusion in the 
minds of others about them. 

Although they should not do this. 

I seek help from Allah .May Allah bless Darood o 
Salam on Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi 
Wasallam and upon his family and companions.
