بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَاهُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِنْ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانًا سِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ مِنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِي الإِنجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمْ الْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا (الفتح: 29 

Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are hard on the disbelievers, compassionate among themselves;[48:29

 Sayyidina Abu Huraira (RA) narrated that the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for the others' faults and do not spy, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert (cut your relation with) one another, and do not hate one another; and O Allah's worshipers! Be brothers (as Allah has ordered you!")

 [Bukhari]

The infighting among muslim groups/organization/ Speakers and orators on Internet ,You Tube ,Group forums and Facebook etc on the name of Islam is the threat within to Ummat e Muslimah. 

Let us Analyse most of the group bashing book/ video audio talk on internet...............

Group bashers/ internet sheikh and Flag bearers of different groups will start talk/book with the name of Quran Hadith kitab o Sunnat Salafus salehin Imam,  will start with Quran Ayats and Ahadith with       بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 

BUT Afterwards in book and talk.............

 1.They will forget the Quran and Hadith Guidelines and Sahaba Salafus salehin way about doing Nahi Anil Munkar. 

2.They will indulge in made up lies, cooked arguement, slip of tongue slip of pen, Quoting out of context insults and personal attacks.

3.They will remember only thing that they have come to criticise the other group and to become popular among their supporters. Some times in staged programme supporters will give loud clap under group mentality.

4.Most of the time issues are blown out of proportion away from reality.They will spread confusion to strengthen their group and some worldly benefit of fame and position.

Actually Iblees/Satan is responsible for this.

He is keeping away us from Positive Dawah.On each front of Islam so much work is remaining.But Iblees has involved us in criticising each others/Leg pulling,instead of doing something positive at ground. Iblees is teaching us that criticism/controversy is easiest way of gaining popularity.

The Quran and Ahadith and Sahabah life has laid down well established principle for criticism andthe way of Nahi Anil Munkar.   

Critism should be with deep knowledge ,clear heart and intention(WASEE ILM aur PAK QULOOB) for the purpose of correction.  

. [48:29] Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are hard on the disbelievers, compassionate among themselves;

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
And for those who harm believing men and believing women - without their having done any wrong- they surely burden themselves with the guilt of slander and a glaring sin. [AI-Ahzab 33:58]

[104:1]
Woe to every backbiter, derider

'Abdullah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: To abuse a Muslim is disobedience, and his murder is infidelity. (Bukhari)

Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu naixates that Nabr Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Avoid jealousy, verily, jealousy consumes good deeds like fire consumes dry wood (or he said) grass. (Abu Dawud)

2. Extreme careful should be for calling anyone  infidel or enemy of Allah/ Rasool or abusive words. 

Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He who calls someone an infidel or enemy of Allah, but that person is not guilty, then t! ese words return to the one who blamed. (Muslim) 

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who abuses a Muslim is like one who is heading to his destruction. (Tabarani, Jami- 'us-Saghir)

Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed the biggest amongst the major sins is to attack a Muslim's honour unjustly. (Abu Dawud)


4. Very common Problem  .....Groupism ridden scholars will present isolated sentence from opponent group book and will inter prate it out of context.......... 

ALLAH pak says

[49:6] O 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.

If  scholars  are criticising any book or talk following principle must be followed. Present full page and not Isolated sentence At times after reading sentence before and after only correct meaning become clear. 
Dont believe the word/ sentence presented by speaker unless you confirm from original source. At times after after one or two reference 
 ALLAH pak says in surah ASRA
And do not follow a thing about which you have no knowledge. Surely, the ear, the eye and the heart - each one of them shall be interrogated about. [17:36] Very clear Hadith is there in Saheeh Muslim

The prohibition of speaking about everything that one hears.Matan of Hadeeth starts with “KAFA BILAMRE KAZIBAN……………………………(MUSLIM SHAREEF)
(Translation ) “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘It is sufficient lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.’”

Same article is in Surah Nisa also. Ibne katheer write in Tafseer of this “ In this Ayat there is negation on the act of those who spread facts before confirming it and spread them stead fast ,whoever at times these are not true”

5.In the matter of difference of opinion on jurisprudence/fiqh issue ..............the groupism ridden scholars will present Hadith in evidence of their point and will conceal the Hadith supporting others view............................So please see all the Ahadith on issue that will give a complete Pictureand see the evidence of other group also.This will decrease the mistrust and jealousy between groups that consider others Imams opinion as wrong and baseless. 

For Example....... In one of  talk on you tube................(One of famous internet/ TV Scholar) said.......
that Placing Hand on the chest is from Authentic Hadith. and rest all Positions are weak ............
But this was far from truth.


The Hadith for placing hand on chest from Wasil Ibne Hajar (R.A.) in Sahih Ibne Khuzaimah is weak(Zaeef) Hadith. Actually all the Ahadith for position of hand in prayer are weak.

The report of Wa’il Ibn Hujr (RA) to be found in S’ahih-Ibn-Khuzamah  which has these extra words. ‘on his chest’ is weak due to .......

1. Muaminil lbn Ismail reports the extra statement and he is known to be a weak narrator. He is said to have made a great deal of mistakes in the later part of his life when he was forced to resort to narrating from his memory due to his books becoming buried. lmaam Dhahabi (RA) states in Al-Mizan (on the Authority of Imam Bukhari (RA)). “His hadith are disowned.” Abu Hatim (RA) informs, ‘He made a great deal of mistakes.”Abu Zur’ah (RA) states. “His narrations contain a lot of mistakes.”

(ii) This same hadiih. although mentioned in many other books of ahadith, through various chains of narrations does not contain these extra words (on the chest) in any other one of the transmissions. This indicates that the narrations which contain that statement are only narrated through Muammil Ibn Ismail, who has been proven to be dha ‘eef.

Adding to this. Allamah Nimwi presents the same narration in his book through Abu Daud. Nasai and lbn Majah. It is also found in the Musnad of Abu Daud At Tayalisi. but none of them have any transmission which contains these extra words. ‘On the chest’.

(iii) Hafiz Ibn Hajar has confirmed in Fathul-Baari that the link of Muammil Ibn Ismail from Sufvan Thawri is weak.

(iv) Sufyan Thawri (who is mentioned in the chain of transmission) held the opinion of placing the hands beneath the navel thus, when his narration is found to be on the contrary, it will not be accepted. according to the rules of jurisprudence.

(v) Even if this hadith be accepted for a moment then we could say, the reason for Rasoolullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)  placing his hands on his chest was merely to inform the Companions that this method is also permissible (Bavaanan-lil-Jawaaz). In no way can one prove from this hadith that this was also done by Rasoolullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) on a permanent basis.

Ibne Qayyim al Jouzi r.a (the student of Imam Ibne Taimiyya R.A) has written in ZADUL MAAD that all the Ahadith for hand positions are Weak (Zaeef). So the point is placing hand 
1.On the chest 
2.Below the chest and 
3.Below nevel
all are from hadith but all hadith are weak. 


This is the reason that different Imams Based on their Principles of derivation of rule has differed on the issue  and it is their Ijtahad and Islam has allowed it.

BUT ALL Scholars ARE AGREED THAT other RULINGs AND POSITIONs ARE also CORRECT...........Imam Shafaee opinion is of placing below chest but when he visited Imam Abu Haneefa Place prayed according to Hanafi way of placing below nevel.
This is acceptable disagreement
Hadith in Bukhari Shareef (9:133)


“If the Hakim made his Ijtihad or the extraction of the verdict from original sources of legislation and he reached the correct verdict he will get two rewards. And if he reached the wrong verdict he will only get one reward.” 


Other evidence for this acceptable disagreement in Islam


Comes from a Hadith reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim, in which Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)ordered his companions after the battle of Al-Ahzaab
saying, “No one of you should pray Asr until you reach the village of Bani-Qurayzah (A Jewish tribe) .” While they were on their way, the time of Asr came. Some companions said we should not pray until we reach Bani-Qurayzah. Others said we should pray Asr now because the Prophet (S.A.W.) did not mean for us to leave the Asr prayer, but he wanted us to be in a hurry. So some of the companions prayed Asr , while others continued on until they reached Bani-Qurayzah after sunset. When they went back to the Prophet, they mentioned to him the story and he did not blame either one of them." This Hadith clearly shows us that the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) accepted both opinions, because if one of them were wrong then the Prophet would have expressed it at that time.

  
1.Critism should be with deep knowledge ,clear heart and intention(WASEE ILM aur PAK QULOOB) for the purpose of correction. 

 3. Works should be directed to guide people towards the Islam and not to  insult and disparage others Sheikh Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi Rahimullah has written at lenth on this aspect of Muslim organisation and Scholars and has suggested way for correction in his book Tabligh e deen ka ek Usool in Urdu. 
  
May Allah guide us and give Hidayat for ourself,and for whole mankind.May Allah help us to be neutral and free from group mentality and to keep Islam first. May Allah give us taufeeq to tell truth in anger and happiness. May Allah save all of us from evil of Nafs (Self ego). Only Allah can give the strength. 

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS GROUP FIGHTING.

1.One of the main reason of fighting is the many Muslim groups and organizations are lacking Positive Dawah/vision for positive work for deen. 


2.They think unless they will not criticize other to prove them wrong no one will come to their sub ideology. They lack Ikhlas .

3 For some Group bashers Islam is secondary and their group ideology is primary. .....I personally know an incident that a person reverted and became muslim. as he became muslim by effort of a Daee who was Hanafi by Jurisprudence Obviously the revert brother started Salat etc according to Hanafi Mazhab. So brother from ...........................group (Group name is erased but let me clear he was not from the follower of four Imams) went to him and unsuccessfully tried to convinced that no you are not corect path......etc........For a new Muslim can you imagine the situation?


3.In some cases Worldly benefit in the form of public support base and Big Position is close to their chest. It is eating Ummat Strength from within. 

A common methodology of groupism is done in FOLLOWING steps

 
FIRST STEP
In order to meet his objective one group X will allege the Group Y with baseless allegation.These allegation based on some text in the group Y book. Group X will present it out of context.Will give own meaning and present to public. 

Second Step
The group Y will first try to clear the fact and will clearly tell that this was not his meaning.It has been quoted out of context.Our Aqeedah is not of the Alleged Aqeedah.

Third Step
But group X will not accept any clarification. And will propagate its interpretation by full vigour and by all possible means.Even if group Y will try best to clarify no takers will be there.


FOURTH STEP
Group Y credibility is at stake.They are desparate.
They are Seeing no option.
The group Y will also do the same.Will bring by same methodology some set of allegations. And will declare their Aqeedah wrong.

FIFTH AND NEXT STEPS
This trend and accusation and counter accusation will go on.

BIG QUESTION IS?????????????

WHO STARTED THIS...........

Who is X who first alledged ???????????????

The Answer
It is on rotation Basis on different issue they will become X and Y ...............and fighting will remain continue. 

Although amount of contribution is more /less.............. that can vary from group to group.

Who initiated this trend is ........... History.?????? 
We dont know exactly.Very difficult to trace and of no use as they are not alive to explain their position.But a single group/person is not to be blamed.It is a collective contribution.

WHAT TO DO NEXT .........

1. All requested to do something positive to stop this trend it by whatever means intellectual or canvassing, pursuance and Special dua is requested.


2. Allah will certainly give the Reward,Even if result is not visible as Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said innamal a'malu binniyat (Bukhari Shareef Hadith No 1)

SOME ADVICE & PRECAUTIONS  FOR DOING SOMETHING AT GROUND

 WISE EFFORT

. Issue is very delicate. So do special dua and Fikr for it in Tahajjud prayers.

a) IKHLAS/SINCERITY OF INTENTION IS MUST 

b) DO IT ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH AND FOR DEEN

E MUHAMMADI SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM. NOT 
FOR ANY WORDLY GAIN...................NAME 
................FAME........POSITION

c) Keep faith on Allah. dont be disheartened if result is not visible. 

d) Allah will certainly give the Reward,Even if result is not visible as Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said innamal a'malu binniyat (Bukhari Shareef Hadith No 1)

2. If the Issue is not in the base of deen and in superficial Dont make a big Issue.
Dont put anything out of context.Ask the group/writer what it intends with it

3. Dont blame any group as a whole for any wrong doing. Blame the wrong action and person concerned not the group as a whole.

4. Concentrate on General people,In Every Group there are some flag bearer. They are tough fellow but hey are only 5-10 % in each group. Dont involve with them. Dont dishearten by their comment.
They are to come at last. Concentrate on rest 90% of general population.

5. Dont go after big Ulemas/Scholar in initial phase.

Most of the Big scholars/leader in all groups are good people .So dont expect from them to come Forward in initial phase.

5. Dont wait for anyone.Start doing effort from your own level by heart tongue ,persuation,request,timely and scholary reply and dua.

May Allah guide us and give Hidayat for ourself,and for whole mankind.May Allah help us to be neutral and free from group mentality and to keep Islam first. May Allah give us taufeeq to tell truth in anger and happiness. May Allah save all of us from evil of Nafs (Self ego). Only Allah can give the strength.

Thableeg Jamaath enthakunnu Malayalam Parichayam What is

introduction tablighi jamaat What is

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

 Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

 A brief introduction to Tabligh Jama’at and their objectives

(TABLIGHI JAMAAT KA MUKHTASAR TAARUF)

 Tabligh literally means ‘to convey’. Contextually, it refers to conveying the message of Islam. This is the sunnah of all the prophets. The most important rule of tabligh is hikmah. Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Quran:

ادع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة

Invite (people) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel.  (Verse: 16:125)

 Whosoever does tabligh must adopt hikmah. It is only then, that people will understand and accept.

Tablighi Jamaat is not a jamaat/group Rather it is a movement that saw a gradual evolution starting from 1920-27.

Proof from Quran and Hadith For The Work of Tabligh

 The work of tabligh ‘has strong basis in Quran and sunnah’. There are numerous verses of the Quran and the Ahadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that support the practice of tabligh. Hereunder are a few of them:

 From the Holy Quran:

 1.  

ادع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة

Invite (people) to the way of your lord with wisdom and good counsel.    (Verse: 16:125)

2.

ولتكن منكم أمة يدعون إلى الخير ويأمرون بالمعروف وينهون عن المنكر

And there has to be a group of people from among you who call towards good and prevent from evil. (Verse: 3:104)

3.

ومن أحسن قولا ممن دعا إلى الله وعمل صالحا وقال إنني من المسلمين

 And who is better in utterance than the one who called people towards Allah, and acts righteously and says, “I am one of those who submit themselves (to Allah Ta’ala).  (Verse: 41:33)

 From the Ahadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam):

4.

فقال أبو سعيد أما هذا فقد قضى ما عليه سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه وذلك أضعف الإيمان

Hazrat Abu Sa’eed (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrates that he heard Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying, “Whosoever witnesses a forbidden act being committed, he should prevent it by the use of his hands; if he is unable to do so, then he should prevent it with his tongue; if he is unable to do so, he should at least consider it a vice in his heart; and this is a very low level of Iman”.

(Sahih Muslim Vol.2 Pg.211/2 - Darul Ma’rifah)

5.

عن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال مثل القائم على حدود الله والواقع فيها كمثل قوم استهموا على سفينة فأصاب بعضهم أعلاها وبعضهم أسفلها فكان الذين في أسفلها إذا استقوا من الماء مروا على من فوقهم فقالوا لو أنا خرقنا في نصيبنا خرقا ولم نؤذ من فوقنا فإن يتركوهم وما أرادوا هلكوا جميعا وإن أخذوا على أيديهم نجوا ونجوا جميعا

It has been reported on the authority of Nu’man bin Bashir (Radhiyallahu Anhu) that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “There are people who do not transgress the limits (laws) of Allah Ta’ala, and there are others who do so. They are like two groups who boarded a ship; one of them settled on the upper deck, and the other on the lower deck of the ship. When the people of the lower deck needed water, they said, “Why should we cause trouble to the people of the upper deck when we can have plenty of water by making a hole in our deck”. Now, if the people of the upper deck do not prevent this group from such foolishness, all of them will perish; but if they stop them, they will be saved”.

(Sahih Al Bukhari Vol.3 Pg.152 - Darul fikr)

OBJECTIVE OF TABLIGHI JAMAAT

 Their objective is that each and every Muslim adopts the Islamic way in all aspects of life. They do not advice anyone to leave all their daily activities and join this work, but they encourage people to take out some time from their daily engagements so that the rest of the time could be spent in accordance to the teachings of Islam. Spending time in the path of Allah is not the objective of the work, but rather it acts as a motivation to practice on all other aspects of Deen.

Their call is based on Quran and Ahadith and always guided by Pious Ulema and Muftiyan Karam

Their  call is for complete deen and they say to people:

Our success in this life and the life hereafter is in obeying the commandments of Allah (SWT) and in following the noble ways (Sunnah) of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)

There is ABUNDANT EVIDENT from the Qur’aan in their call as Allah (SWT) has said:

وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّڪُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ

[3:132]Obey Allah and the Messenger, so that you may be blessed.

قُلۡ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ*ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ

[3:32] Say: .Obey Allah and the Messenger. Then, should they turn back, Allah does not love the disbelievers.

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

[23:1]Success is really attained by the believers

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيہَا وَمَسَـٰكِنَ طَيِّبَةً۬ فِى جَنَّـٰتِ عَدۡنٍ۬*ۚ وَرِضۡوَٲنٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ أَڪۡبَرُ*ۚ ذَٲلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ

[9:72] Allah has promised to the believers, male and female, gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they shall live forever, and good homes in gardens of eternity. And Allah‘s pleasure is above all. That is the supreme success.

Tabligh Remind people as

They remind our Muslim brothers and Sisters to change their life according to Qur’aan and Sunnah and we believe that our reminder also has evidence from the book of Allah (SWT):

وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

[51:55] And keep reminding, because reminding benefits the believers.

How to actually change their life? We refer them to the Ulama (& people of knowledge) and we believe that we evidence for that from the book of Allah (SWT) as well:

فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّڪۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

[21:7]...So, ask the people (having the knowledge) of the Message, if you do not know...

SUMMARY OF Maulana Ilyas Idea of reformist Movement

Moulana Ilyas Saheb (Rahimahullah) observed that people were too engrossed in their worldly activities and had forgotten the objective for which they had been sent to this world. He realized that they had to free some time from their worldly engagements, to sit and ponder about Allah Ta’ala and their purpose for being sent to this world. Therefore, he started calling people to the masjid, and reminded them about Allah Ta’ala and His greatness. Initially people rebuked him, they discouraged him and used to say that they had no time for all of this; but as time went by, they realized the truth behind it and the need for it, and started joining him in calling others towards Allah Ta’ala. Thereafter, when more people started joining this work, a few guidelines had to be set, to make sure that the work was done in a proper manner. Different time periods of 3 days, 40 days, etc. were set, so that people knew for how long they had to be away, and could make the necessary arrangements for that period.

THE IMMEDIATE FACTOR FOR start of Tablighi Jamaat

1. Around 1910 Malkana tribe (near Agra,uttar pardesh,india) who were muslim started turning to nonbeliever.

2. Condition of the mewat tribe (At delhi-haryana border in ALWAR and Gurgaon district, india) was nearly same and were on the verge of becoming MURTAD and leaving Islam. According to gazette of Alwar and gurgaon” MEW tribe are very loose and careless muslim. They share most of the customs of other religion.There way is to celebrate religious function of both community and not to do any religious duty of any religion.They never go for Haj,but celebrate HOLI and Diwali.”

(Ref:Gazetter of Alwar 1878,gazette of district Gurgao 1910) For detail refer book Life and mission of maulana ilyas by Maulana abul hasan ali nadwi (ali miyan) page 73-79.

3. The family of Maulana Ilyas was having religious connection with the people of mewat since his father and elder brother Maulana Muhammad .

4. Maulana Ilyas was very serious and in pain from the religious condition of Mew tribe.

5. He adopted different ways for reform/taleem of MEW people but situation was not under control.

The evolution of SYSTEM ADOPTED BY TJ

6. The initial Idea of GUSHT (MEETING MUSLIM BROTHER FOR THE SAKE OF DEEN AT THEIR DOORSTEP and home and doing one to one talk with hikmah and love and passion by MAKING A GROUP OF  3 TO 10 PEOPLE) WAS GIVEN by PEOPLE OF FIROZPUR NAMAK town of MEWAT.They were doing it in informal way and reported this to Maulan Ilyas. Maulana Ilyas liked this method for calling people who are not TALIB at all.

7. Then it evolved to the doing gusht in nearby villages making jamaat.There dawat was about KALMA and Namaz,but it was not in organized or formal way but continued for few years.

Work gained momentum after 1933

10. Work remained at slow pace till 1933,In the winter of 1933 nearly 250 people became ready to offer some time and came to DELHI JAMA MASJID. Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madni (Rahmatullah Alaihi)gave the departure advice to jamaat and it was sent to PANIPAT,KARNAL (HARYANA),SAHARANPUR &KANDHLA (UTTAR PARDESH).

Expansion of the work

With the passage of time People realized the importance of Effort of deen to strenthen our Iman and Amaal.They realized there duty as the ummat of last prophet to convey this maasage to others also.So people started joining them in large number and started sacrificing for the cause of Islam.

Era from 1933 to 1939

Maulana continued with his work, After return from his second Haj he came with Istaqamat and Sharah sadr(Allah opened his heart to continue with the work). But till 1939 it remained largely in the area around Mewat, Delhi and few districts of western U.P. Largely Mewatis played an active participation although some of the prominent ulemas and shyukh supported it most notably Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madni,(R.A) and Abdur Raheem sb Raipuri (R.A) largely due to the pious personality of Maulana Ilyas but by and large it remain unattended from Circles of ulemas and scholar.  

Attention of Ulemas and Islamic Scholars to the work around 1939

In Dec, 1939, three big personalities of India Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi(R.A), Maulana Manzoor Nomani(R.A) and Abdul Wahid Sb M.A.(R.A),planned to observe the religious work going on by different people/organization and to make a decision about themselves to join.

(They visited Saharanpur, Raipur and in Raipur Abdurraheem Sb Raipuri advised them to visit Maulana Ilyas (R.A.) at NIZAMUDDIN,Delhi and to see the ongoing work of Dawah.  

They were aware with the name of maulaana Ilyas and had recently read an article about his Dawah Movement in Mgazine Tarjumanul Quran  of SHAABAN 1358 Hijri written by Maulana Abul Ala Maudoodi (R.A)(the Renowed writer and founder of Jamaat e Islami) ,after visiting Maulana Ilyas at Nizamuddin and visiting the areas of mewat. That article was in praise of Tabligh work,The title of this article was “EK DEENI TAHRREK (A religious movement). So with advice of Raipuri Rahmatullah Alaihi their plan to visit Nizamuddin became final.

Spread and Acceptance of work by Ulemas

Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi R.A started taking formal and active participation  along with Maulana Manzoor Nomani R.A and it helped much for spreading of work among Ulema and Madarsas. 
With there participation the work got an interface at a time when other Ulemas were not much attentive to the work. Maulana Ilyas has always acknowledged it and always praised Maulana Ali Miyan. 
Ali Miyan visited Peshawar and other parts of (Pakistan)  undivided India besides actively doing the effort in India.Apart from this other Ulemas were also took part. 

An important Mashwara was called to discuss the ways of participation of students of Madarsa which was attended by Qari Tayyab Sb (R.A) Rector of Darul Uloom Deoband, Mufi Kifayatullah Sb Mufti e Azam Hind,Maulana Mohammad Shafi Sb of Madarsa Abdurrab Delhi,Hafiz Abdullateef Sb of Muzahirul uloom Saharanpur,Maulana Aizaz Ali ,teacher of Darul Uloom Deoband,and Maulana zakariya and Maulana Abdul Qadir Sb Raipuri (RAHMATULLAH ALAIHIM) (Ref :Biography of Ali Miyan:Sawane Mufakkirul Islam page no 197-205,Life and mission of maulana ilyas page no 159)

The effect of the work became all inclusive for all section of society

RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING VIEW OF MAULANA ILYAS WAS TO INCLUDE EACH SECTION OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE EFFORT OF DEEN AND TO UTILISE THEIR CAPABLITIES FOR THE PROPAGATION OD DEEN. He became quiet successful in its endevour and work spreaded in colleges and university. Students and teachers of Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University came closer to the work. Dr Zkair Hussain (Former president of india was professor at Jamia Millia Islamia that time) was close to Maulana Ilyas and used to come Nizamuddin regularlyWork also spreaded among business clas and other sections of the society. .(Ref Biography of Abul Hasan Ali NadviPage no 204,Life and mission of maulana Ilyas page no.219 )

Maulana Ilyas death

MaulanA Ilyas died on 13^th July 1944. During last days of his illness he named a list of 6 persons to lead the effort after his death. Maulana Muhammad Yusuf son of Maulana Ilyas was one of these 6 people. And later on he was selected to lead the movement.

Maulana Yusuf himself was a great scholar of Islam. His famous book in Arabic HAYATUS SAHABA is like a masterpiece on the practical aspect of life of Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and Sahaba Kara.It is a encyclopedic book very popular in the Arab World.Its English and urdu translations are similarly popular.

Transnational expansion of tabligh work after 1944

Maulana Yusuf was himself a great scholar of Hadith and gave the work of dawat the much needed scholary support. Apart from HAYATUS SAHABAH he also wrote Muntakhab Ahadith collection of Ahadith related to six qualities of Dawat and Tabligh. During his period work spreaded from the Indian subcontinent to other parts of the world.A Jamaat went from India  to Arab which included Maulana Ali Miyan who was a prolific writer in Arabic and  was popular in Arab World and it rooted the work in Arab Countries. With  passage of time it became a transnational movement to strengthen Imaan and Amaal e Saliha. Maulana Yusuf died in 1964 at Lahore. 

Muqami Kaam (effort of deen at home)

Tabligh work has two facets

1.Going in the path of Allah for some days.

2.Doing the Amaal and effort while being at home.

After Maulana Yusuf, Maulana Inamul Hasan took the responsibility to lead the effort. Maulana Inaamul Hasan Made a formal Tarteeb of Muqami Kam (effort of deen while being at home) and it hlped the brothers to strengthen the qualities and gain achieved in the path of Allah. And established strong connection between Daee and the his neihbour and surrounding. 

Maulana Ilyas view was of Taking care of whole world

As Hazrat Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was last prophet and this ummat has responsibility for whole world. So the system of Tabligh has been designed to cater all these. To start from oneself to whole world. Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam simultaneously did effort on all front    

eg Even if his family member and people of makkah not accepted he went to Taif, even whole Arab not accepted he reached to Roman and Persian empire and did not waited to be accepted by all people of his area to start work in other areas. So in tabligh work a system was made to cater from onself, to family, to muhallah,to nearby town,to country,to whole world.    

 E.g  FOR INDIVIDUAL :In faradi Amaal, tasbeeh,tilawat e quran Taleem ,gusht and effort in the pth of allah for person himself, FOR FAMILY: Daily Taleem and Muzakra with quran Halqa, . FOR MUHALLA: Daily Taleem in mosque, Daily meeting with brothers, Daily Mashura, Weekly Gusht, FOR NEIGHBORING LOCALITY:Second Gusht,and 3 day in a month,FOR COUNTRY:40 days FOR WORLD RESPONSIBILITY:4 Months. Women will also go in the path of Allah obviously under the ambit of Shariah Ruling and with many restriction always with her Husband/Sharai Mahram.

Regarding Dawah among Non Believers

Maulana Ilyas was in principle very serious about the important work of Muslim of calling nonbelievers towards Allah and the way of Salvation.

When Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar was going to London for  Round Table Conference Maulana Ilyas wrote him a letter drawing his attention to give the massage of Allah to british officials including the british prime ministr churchil.That mean he was very much aware of the importance of this aspect.

But he was of the view that qualities are needed in muslims ummah to convey the massage of Islam to all mankind in a effective way. To put the house of muslim in order was of priority importance for him. And it has prove from Quran and Hadith that taking care of muslims is an important aspect of deen.

In Verse ABASA WATAWALLAH………….it has been stressed in the chaptor that those who are already in the fold should also get importance while about others it is not certain that they will come into the fold. 

It is necessary to adopt qualities for effective Dawah

It is also necessary,that one should adorn oneself with the qualities of a true Believer. He should apply the commands of Deen upon himself.

This includes being punctual upon Salaah with Jama'ah(congregation). One should refrain from all sins and transgression. One should refrain from disobedience, adultery, drinking, stealing, transacting in interest, lying, backbiting, deceiving, not paying people their dues - even if they be non-Muslims.

He should deal with compassion and kindness. Likewise he should fulfil his promises. These are the qualities of a Believer. When one will adorn oneself with these qualities, he will be loved by the people. Hence this will attract them to Islam and they will eventually accept it.

EXAMPLES OF SPREAD OF ISLAM BY STEADFASTNESS ON DEEN

Many of the countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. were not conquered by Mujahideen. Islam spread in the these countries by means of traders who were steadfast on Deen. Hence the people loved them and enquired from them about their religion. Thus they entered into the fold of Islam.

Therefore it is necessary for the Daa'ie to adopt these qualities. We thank Allah Ta'ala that he granted the Tabligh Jama'ah the tawfeeq to adopt this noble method. They approach people with love and kindness. Hence we find that, due to their efforts, great benefit has been achieved throughout the world. We pray Allah Ta'ala to grant them the ability to continue with this good work and may He make all their actions solely for Himself. May they remain steadfast on this noble Da'wah in which there is great benefit for Islam and the Believers. Insha Allah.
