The call of Tablighi Jamaat is call of Tasawwuf (Mysticism) ? Criticism No 2 "Some people allege that leader of Tablighi Jamaat take the pledge of allegiance to a Soofi order." Criticism No 3. It is said that those who become involved in Dawah effort of Tablighi Jamaat, the worker of Tabligh change them from head to toe. From belief to action and behavior they make the change visible in every walk of life. Criticism No 4 The criticizer claim 11 Tablighi Jamaat has put six qualities instead of the five basic principles of Islam and six pillars of faith." Criticism No 5 The criticizer claim "The people associated with Tablighi Jamaat are against Dawat e Salfiyaah and enemy of its leaders. 11 Criticism No 6 "The criticizer claim that Tablighi Jamaat deny Jihad, and understand that situation of todays Muslims is Like situation of Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his companions in M akkah before the migration." Criticism No 7 "Tablighi J amaat does not forbid evil vigorously". Criticism No 8 That Tablighi Jamaat are bigoted prejudiced Hanafi. Criticism No 9 It is said "That Tablighi J amaat deny Tawheed in the worship " Criticism No : 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. Criticism No: 11 It is alleged "Tablighi J amaat people do Innovations as they go out in khurooj in groups, and they go for 3 day 40 days and 4 month for Dawah" Criticism No : 12 People are also alleging other things.... this and this ....and this and that 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.
