Please comment on the current crisis in the leadership of the Tabligh Jamaat.

Answer

The Tabligh Jamaat has di-verged sharply from Siraatul Mustaqeem. Arrogance and narrow-mindedness are destroying the Jamaat. Just look at what is currently taking place in the leadership. If the people of the Jamaat will remain intransigent refusing to understand their ghulu' and arrogance, the Tabligh Jamaat may become another baatil sect. We make dua that this does not happen. Molvi Sa'd who has claimed to be the leader of the Jamaat, is clearly plodding the path of baatil. He has acquitted himself as a goonda (thug). His talks and mannerism indicate that he has gone astray. He boldly claimed that those who do not accept his leadership are Jahannamis (inmates of Hell). His thuggery has brought the kuffaar police several times into the Nizaamuddin headquarters of the Jamaat. This is one dimension of the ghulu' which has become a characteristic of Tablighis. They believe that only their methodology is right and that there is no other valid Tabligh activity besides their own method. Ghulu' is the most disturbing trend in an organization. It sets the organization on the path of deviation. It will not be an exaggeration to say that Sa'd is the Fruit of the Tabligh Jamaat's ghulu'. Their ghulu' has practically materialized in the form of Sa'd.
