Tabligh ist the right work for muslim to do ..But the way how the Tabligh Jamaat (Pakistan+India)does is not correct the Method is wrong it was never been practized in the time of sahabah like that how they do for example 3 days 40 days etc...or a muslim is only a muslim with beart and kurta that is what tabligh jamat is spreading and it is wrong..

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.

Jama'aatu Tabligh is a bunch of deobandi, soofee, deviate followers of a grave worshipper = muhammed ilyas (may Allaah give him what he deserves.

Flee with your religion from this group before death catches you.  

Calling the Muslims back to Islam is a praiseworthy act.  However, when this group of deviates gets you in the masjid, they call you to books filled with shirk, kufr, and bid'aah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They make mockery of the shareeah, and keep they're misguided followers ignorant of the affairs of At-Tawheed, which is more important anything!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

JAZAKALLAH KHAIR

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

Dear brothers.,
From the above discussions I found no evidence why it is farz, how it is according to shariah? how it preaches islam. It is strange that nobody give any quran or hadith. From seera I come to know that rasool(sas) didnt work like this. Please carefully read what has happened in makha and what happened in madheena. How the transition is made.
Whoever agrees that islam is complete way of life and whoever believes that Islam has solutions to all the matters dont believe that tabligi jammat is spreading whole islam.

wassalam

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.
Also need to understand that what is good might not be true, but what is true is always good ( in islamic context )

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

I think there are a number of Muslims out there who are envious, that they have not been chosen to carry out this work. It is incumbant upon us all to learn the sunnah ettiquetes of our beloved Prophet (pbuh)and then put into practice to show non muslims waht a great and true religion Islam is. The only way you can learn this if you give up your precious time, money and family and go with Tabligh jammats.

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.

Those people who were going to clubs, pubs etc spent few days in the Tablighy Jamaat and their lives changed. Before we were going towards the fire of Jahannam by not following the commandments of Allah and the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) but now alhamdulilah by going out with the tablighy Jamaat we have realised our purpose of life that is to please Allah(SAW) by following his commandments and sunnah of prophet Muhammed(SAW).

Our brothers who move among the masses and see the plight of muslims all over the world and whose hearts pain for muslims will really appreciate the work of tabligh. One who sits in the gallery and sends abuses from the gallery, you are like this, you will not change will never the understand the tabligh work. Rasulullah SAS moved with the masses his heart pained for the masses. He used to get persecuted in the day time and cry for the masses during the whole night. Do the criticisers of tabligh posses this quality. Once one's heart pains for the masses he will not shout from gallery but he will come down and pick the muslims from hell fire.

being muslims we must try to know truth from Holy Qur'an, Seerah of the Prophet, Hadeeth Books, the way how the Khulafa-ur-Rashideen implemented the Qur'an and Hadith injunctions. 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.

By going with Jamaat, you'll learn how to strength your iman, and how to get the 6 qualities of Sahabah kiraam. By having these 6 qualities, you'll have strength in your heart to practise deen 24 hours in your life InsyaAllah. Thus going with jamaat is not only according to syariah, but strengthening the deen of Allah and spreading it to the whole world.Please spend some time with jamaat then you'll understand the importance of this work. InsyaAllah brother, make Iradah for 4 months, 40 days and 3 days!

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.

Assalamualaikum.

Allah Subaha-Watala has given us all the blessed Kalima but in this dayandage we tend to forget our real being here. 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? All brothers who are against the work I ask you to go out with a Tablgh Jamat for a day or so and see the truth before making all the comments made against it.

May Allah guide and protect us all (Ameen)

Wassalam.

The Prophet (PBUH) did not spend his life calling ppl to that TJs are upon. For all those brothers and sisters that are confused HE MUHAMMAD (PBUH) SPENT THIRTEEN YEARS OF HIS PROPHET HOOD CALLING PPL TO TAWHEED, TAWHEED, TAWHEED. 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.

All tabligh jamaat pse continue the work sincerely...still many people do not know how to pray, fasting...etc...keep-up the good work.
All those who opposing, pse do your own work. Let Allah deal with them...when the izrail come and you live in kubr then you will know. It is a waste time arguing over this forum.

Assalamu Alaikum
Alhamdulillah Quick Karguzari since my last post Alhamdulillah A Jamaat has left for Giana, Surinam, Brazil, Venezuela, from the Yorkshire Halqa inshaAllah all brothers and Sisters make dua for these Jamaats that Allah swt Uses them as a mean of Guidance inshaAllah. Alhamdulillah In the pAst month a lot of emphasise has been on laid on the Musturat (sisters) effort. Musturat Jamaats are being formed for Venezuela, Belgium, Switzerland and other European Countries.

As for "Searcher of Haqq" and co i sense your on the Salafi vibe. Recently they have been giving it us Hard aswell in our locality and they always picking points and quick to jump to conclusions. On Eid day we was doing Gasht and we bumped into Youths who had just bought Alcohol to celebrate eid..i ask who will make fikr for these Youths? we Talk all day long bout how they Ummah is suffering yet we cant be bothered to leave the comfort of the home for the propagation of deen? 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

Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
The work of Tableegh is the most true and haq work available for the muslim masses. I have my own testimony of how this work changed my life. 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. Please think once for some time with a neutral mind and sacrifice some time and money in Allah's Path. Allah will then make you understand what this work really is. Let Allah bring all to the righteous path. Ameen.
Wasallam.

Only One Word and then look to the truth inside your heart!
But when looking for the truth, remember that you are not alone! Remember that you are living for Allah and that Allah is near and hearing your prier. Remember that no body and really no body in this earth is MAASUM (protected against doing mistake) but Muhammad -Sala Allah Alayhi Wa Salam- the last prophet of Allah.
My only one word.
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, the
