Tableegh Jamat by Rashid Fatmi.

First of all I would like to respond to those who feel that speaking against deviant
pseudo-Islaamic groups is a waste of time and energy is in fact total contradiction to
Qur'ân and Sunnah. In Soorah Aal'imraan 3:110 Allah says "you are the best
nation raised up among mankind (because) you command the good and
prohibit the evil" Commanding the good is not sufficient in itself to earn us the title
"BEST OF THE NATIONS" it must be complemented by the prohibitions of evil {an
Nahi ‘An Al-Munkar }:

Not to mention the classical Ahaadeeth in which the prophet (saws) said "who ever
sees evil should stop it with his hands, but if he is unable he should speak against it
......"{Narrated by Abu sa'eed al-khudree} and If we review the lives of the Sahâbah
and the early scholars, we find them not only teaching Islaam, But also condemning
whatever innovations {Bid'ah} or Deviations occurred around them, In every era
there arose ideas which challenged the pure concept of Islaam, and were it not for
scholars who arose to oppose them, the deviant ideas would have over whelmed the
masses, "When some people mentioned to IMAAM AHMED IBN HANBAL
{rahim'ullah} that they felt uneasy about critising people he replied," If I were to
remain silent, how would the ignorant masses know truth from falsehood?" Those
who introduce heretical writings and deviant religious rites contrary to Qur'ân and
Sunnah have to be exposed and the Muslim nation warned against them according to
the unanimous agreement of Muslim scholars

Infact, Yahyaa ibn Maeen companion of IMAAM AHMED IBN HANBAL {rahim'ullah}
was asked if one who fasted, prayed and secluded himself in the masjid was dearer
to him than one who spoke out against people involved in Deviations, he replied,
"When he fasts, Prays and secludes himself, he does so for himself alone, but if he
speaks out against the Deviations, he does so for Muslims in general which is more
Noble, Hence it is clear that openly opposing innovation {Bid'ah} and Deviations is of
general benefit to Muslims in the practice of their religion and comes under the
heading of "Jihaad fee sabeelil-laah" {struggle in Allah's path} Purification of Allah's
religion and the repulsion of attacks against it is a general obligation {Fard kifaayah}
on Muslims by unanimous agreement. For if Allah did not raise up some people to
oppose the corruption preached by heretics, the religion would surely become
distorted and deviant, The corruption of the Divinely revealed religion is far more
terrible than the corruption resulting from the military conquest of the Non-Muslims,
For when Non-Muslims over powers Muslims they are not able to corrupt the hearts
of Muslims, or their religion except after some time, whereas, heretics corrupt the
hearts from the very outset", That's why we should expose the evil of because this
movement and Leaders recognizes Sufism and other deviant pseudo- Islaamic
thinking like muraaqaba on graves as being valid and there is big list of scholars
who has the same view for these Deviant pseudo-Islaamic groups and there likes.

Finally Tabligi Jamat page and its sub links contains Alhamdulillah, a critical study of
the ahadeeth and other material in the well known Tablighi Nisaab - Fazail-e-Aa'maal.
Insha-Allah we ask the brothers and sisters to read this with an open heart, and
remember the hadith of the prophet Muhammad (saws) when he said : "The one
who loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah, he will taste
the sweetness of Eemaan (faith)". Thus it is a part of Faith, that we evaluate the
evidences of those who preach Islam, and thus correct our Islam so that we may be
guided.

In this regard, Ibn Sireen {rahim'ullah} said as quoted in the introduction to

Sahih Muslim said: "This (hadeeth) is the religion! So be careful as to whom
you take this religion".

Ibn Taahir al-Maqdisi al-Haafidh {rahim'ullah} said, "I heard the Imaam, Abu
Ismaa'eel 'Abdullaah bin Muhammad al-Ansaari {rahim'ullah} saying, whilst in
Haraah: 'The sword was put to my neck five times [and each time] it was not said to
me, 'Leave your madhhab' but it was said to me, 'Remain silent about those who are
in opposition to you'. So I would say, 'I will not remain silent'." [Aadaab us-
Sharee'ah (1/207) of Ibn Muflih al-Maqdisi al-Hanbali].

Al-Humaidee, the Shaikh of al-Bukhaaree {rahim'ullah} said, "By Allaah, that I

war against those who reject the Ahaadeeth of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi
wasallam) is more beloved to me than that I should war against the same number of
Non-Muslims." [Al-Harawi in Dhamm ul-Kalaam].

Ibn al-Qayyim {rahim'ullah} said, "The Jihaad with decisive proofs [from the
Book and the Sunnah] and the tongue takes precedence over the Jihaad with the
sword and the teeth." [Al-Jawaab us-Saheeh of Ibn Taymiyyah (1/237)].

Nasr bin Zakariyaa {rahim'ullah} said, I heard Muhammad bin Yahyaa adh-
Dhuhlee saying, I heard Yahyaa bin Yahyaa saying, "Defence of the Sunnah is more
superior than Jihaad in the path of Allaah." So I said, "A man spends his wealth, tires
his body and strives (in Jihaad), so is this one (still) better than him? He said, "Yes,
by many times!" [Dhammu ul-Kalaam of al-Harawi].

Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad {rahim'ullah} said: "Whichever man comes to asking for
advice and he directs him to an innovator then he has acted deceitfully towards
Islam, and beware of entering upon a person of innovation since they prevent from
the truth." (Al-Laalikaa’ee, no.261)

Thus, it is the order of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad and the
understanding of the Sahâbah that we evaluate the books that we read, and weigh it
according to the Qur'ân, Sunnah and their interpretation by the Salaf-us-Salih.
Keeping this in mind, with total commitment to understanding the truth for the sake
of Allaah, we invite you to read the exposition of the book "Fazail-e-Aa'maal". May
Allah ta'laa have mercy on you. We ask Allah's help to fill us with the right knowledge
and Guide us and Grant the Ummah to loving the truth and its people. {Aameen}
