The Tabligh Jamaat emphasizes that its mode of Tabligh is the work of the Nabi, the Sahaabah and the Ambiya.

Question

The Tabligh Jamaat emphasizes that its mode of Tabligh is the work of the Nabi, the Sahaabah and the Ambiya. Is their claim valid? Please comment.

Answer

We find nothing amiss in the original methodology of the Tabligh Jamaat as planned by its seniors such as Maulana Ilyaas (Rahmatullah alayh). The objective of the Tabligh Jamaat is to impart ta'leem of the very basics of the Deen, hence they operate or are supposed to operate within the narrow confines of their Six Points. No one can find fault with teaching the Kalimah, Tahaarat, Salaat and the other basic teachings of the Deen.

There is nothing wrong in saying that teaching the Aqaaid, Tahaarat and Salaat, etc. is the 'work of the Nabi' because it was the Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah who had accorded priority to this Ta'leem. In fact, the first practice after Aqaaid imparted by the Sahaabah who conquered the lands of the kuffaar was Tahaarat and Salaat.

However, nowadays, because of the ghulu' which has crept into the Tabligh jamaat, they generally mean that their methodology is the only tareeqah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). It is this ghulu' which is destroying the Tabligh Jamaat.
