Basic information of the Jemaat tablighi:

Tablighi Jamaat ("Conveying Group")  is a Muslim missionary and revival movement. Their activities are limited to within the Muslim community itself, the groups main aim being to bring spiritual awakening to the world's Muslims.

The Tablighi Jamaat was founded in the late 1920s by the Deobandi cleric Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalawi in the Mewat province of India.

Tabligh in Arabic means "to convey (the message)" and Tablighi Jamaat strive to revive this duty which they consider as one of the primary duties of a Muslim. They encourage people to follow Islamic principles and the life of the prophet Muhammad through his teachings. Going out for months or years was not a way he practiced or encuraged to become an anchorite. However, sharia law doesn't prohibit going out for months in this way.

When an individual goes out to Jamaat, he tries to bring 6 qualites into his life, which were commonly found in all the sahabas, if one brings these into his life, then following complete Deen will be made easy for him. These 6 qualities are:

Firm belief in the Kalimah An article of faith in which the tabligh accepts that there is no god but Allah and the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is His messenger. and that Allah can do each and every thing without the help of the creation, and the creation cannot do anything without the help of Allah
Concentration and Devotion in Salaat Five daily prayers that are essential to spiritual elevation, piety, and a life free from the ills of the material world. To build a conection with Allah(SWT) and to gain from his unlimited treasures
Ilm and Dhikr The thirst for knowledge and remembrance of Allah conducted in sessions in which every individual contributes whatever knowledge which one can regarding performing prayers, reciting the Quran and reading Hadith and to gain the rememberance of Allah in every action make Dhikr by reciting 3 Tasbihaat, Third Kalima, Durood Sharief and Istighfaar.
Ikram-i-Muslim The treatment of fellow Muslims with honor and deference, to love the youngsters and respect the elders and have special respect for the scholars of islam
Ikhlas-i-Niyyat Reforming one’s life in supplication to Allah by performing every human action for the sake of Allah and toward the goal of self-transformation
Tafrigh-i-Waqt The sparing of time to live a life based on faith and learning its virtues, following in the footsteps of the Prophet, and taking His message door-to-door for the sake of faith. since Nabi(SAW) was the last and final prophet, it is our duty to now carry on this work of the prophets, ie. call others towards good and prevent evil

I 1st met doctor Ahmed Salih in the mosque in Jesenice (Wednesday 19.9.2007). It seemed very strange to see a man dressed in the traditional clothes. I wanted to get to know him and thank be to God I did. The next day we talked 2 hours on a dinner after fasting. He told me a lot of new things. In the discussion I realized the message of the Jemaat Tablighi and their work in practise. The doctor's accession was very gentle and understandable. He didn't force with his theses about the novelties in faith, which he had sawn in our mosque, but he just smiled and said that the things aren't as they must be. He shared his experiences with the present and said...

 

In one of his stories he told me that in India there was a muslim community of 6000 families and that they didn't believe in the existence od the Ka'ba. Their prayers were totally incorrect. Only two verses of the whole 1st chapter were correct, others were indistinct. After the arrival of Tablighi Jemaat on that area, the situation totally changed. Now they have schools (religious) and they (finally) believe in the Ka'ba.

 

Tablighi Jemaat is very strong in England. The doctor said that the Jemaat changed a cinema hall into a mosque and that you can find every year in the time of Ramadan in the first row only people, who know the whole Qur'an.

 

Dear doctor, I wish that you return alive and healthy from your journey and come visit us again. May Allah s.w.t. reward you for your time and effort.
