The Practices of Jamaa'at al-Tableegh

Praise be to Allaah.

"Jamaa'at al-Tableegh" is one of the groups that are working for Islam. Their efforts in calling people to Allaah (da'wah) cannot be denied. But like many other groups they make some mistakes, and some points should be noted concerning them. These points may be summed up as follows, noting that these mistakes may vary within this group, depending on the environment and society in which they find themselves. In societies in which knowledge and scholars are prevalent and the madhhab of Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah is widespread, the mistakes are much less; in other societies these mistakes may be greater. Some of their mistakes are:

1 -- Not adopting the 'aqeedah of Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah. This is clearly seen from the variations in the 'aqeedah of some of their members and even of some of their leaders.

2 -- Their not paying attention to shar'i knowledge.

3 -- Their misinterpretation of some Qur'aanic verses in a manner that was not intended by Allaah. For example they interpret the verses on jihad as referring to "going out for da'wah". The verses which mentioned the word khurooj (going out) etc. are interpreted by them as meaning going out for da'wah.

4 -- They make their system of going out for da'wah an act of worship. So they started to misquote the Qur'aan to support their system which specifies certain numbers of days and months. This system, which they think is based on evidence from Qur'aan, is widespread among them in all countries and environments.

5 -- They do some things that go against sharee'ah, such as appointing one of them to make du'aa' for them whilst the group goes out for da'wah, and they think that their success or failure depends on whether or not this man was sincere and his du'aa' accepted.

6 -- Da'eef (weak) and mawdoo' (fabricated) ahaadeeth are widespread among them, and this is not befitting for those who aim to call people to Allaah.

7 -- They do not speak of munkaraat (evil things), thinking that enjoining what is good is sufficient. Hence we find that they do not speak about evils that are widespread among the people, even though the slogan of this ummah -- which they continually repeat -- is:

"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma'roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful"

[Aal 'Imraan 3:104 -- interpretation of the meaning]

The successful are those who enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, not just those who do only one of the two.

8 -- Some of them fall into self-admiration and arrogance, which leads them to look down on others, and even to look down on the scholars and describe them as inactive and sleeping, or to show off. So you find them talking about how they went out and travelled, and they saw such and such, which leads to unfavourable results, as we have mentioned.

9 -- They regard going out for da'wah as better than many acts of worship such as jihad and seeking knowledge, even though those things are obligatory duties, or may be obligatory for some people but not others.

10 -- Some of them audaciously issue fatwas, and discuss tafseer and hadeeth. That is because they allow each one of them to address the people and explain to them. This leads to them speak audaciously on matters of sharee'ah. So the inevitably speak of the meaning of a ruling, hadeeth or verse when they have not read anything about it, or listened to any of the scholars. And some of them are new Muslims or have only recently come back to Islam.

jamaat tabligh does not have the aqeedah he says, thats sufis and there is no stipulation that 3 days is mandatory it is merely planning

[Asaadullah9]

@TheKashmir85 akhi, ther is a sect called 'salafi' i thinkyou are reffering to them because they are killing muslims. but dont say wahabi it is a attribute of allah 'AL WAHAB' and remember we all should follow the way of the salafi saleh not salafi of today.

[IbnJibril]

@TheKashmir85 i beg ya tell me who the wahhabies kill cos im thinking you been talking to the wrong ppl or maybe you just an ignorant who listens propaganda by other lol may Allah forgive you and guide you to the truth path

[TheKashmir85]

@awan187 BECASUE THE WAHABIS ARE PAID BY THE AMERICANS TO KILL AND TAUNT OTHER MUSLIMS

[ISMASHYOUBRO]

@jubzfree Exactly. May Allah make us all true Da'ees of this Deen. God knows the Muslims need way more Da'wah today(self included) before we can go after the Non-Muslims. Actually scratch that, if we practice our religion 100% then the Non-Muslims will come to us in droves. That's how it was in the past.

[jubzfree]

@ISMASHYOUBRO Brother you speak the truth! TJ is a wonderful movement, it is very essential in this day and age, whereby the muslims are morphing into western lifestyle. I know many brothers who have strengthened their iman (from moderate to practicing) after going for 40 days or whatever.

PS. if this guy ever heard of a talk by Maulana Tareeq Jamil... then he will understand the power and sweetness of tableegh jamaat reformation movement.

[ISMASHYOUBRO]

@jubzfree He isn't a scholar for one. He's even made that concession on several accounts. Brother isn't very well aware of the TJ and the wonderful work that the brothers do(which we should all do). It's a tarteeb not a bid'aa.

[jubzfree]

...they didn't have ipod's we must not have ipods...

[jubzfree]
